Bottle Spam Saturday: Layering Glitters Edition

Layering Glitters won the last vote. I had no idea I had so many. It's actually a bit embarrassing how many layering glitters I do have...but they're so pretty!

I've run out of ideas for future bottle spams voting, so I'm just going to do a bunch of random ones or come up with cool color patterns or something different! No worries, Bottle Spam Saturday isn't going anywhere! If any of you have bottle spam ideas feel free to email me.

China Glaze Riveting

We are one week away from the release of the Hunger Games film! Is anyone else insanely excited about that? I read all the books in a week in the beginning January. I wish I had time to read the first book again before I see the film, but I don't think I will :(. Anyways, I was excited about the China Glaze Hunger Games polishes when I first heard about them.....this all changed when I started seeing swatches online. I was SO disappointed. I only saw a few that sparked my interest, while the others I could easily do with out. I may love Hunger Games, but an ugly color polish is an ugly color polish. This next polish was a definite win though!

Riveting

Riveting is a fiery orange with a strong golden glass fleck-like shimmer.

I've heard the gold in this referred to has a shimmer,glitter, and glass fleck. I'm not sure which it actually is, but it resembles glass fleck to me, so I'm calling it that. Please, do not go all Nail Polish Finish police on me :p! This polish is on fire. It is hot, vibrant, and all around awesome. One thing I noticed with these Hunger Games polishes is the formula. The formula on this and the others were excellent. I've never noticed China Glaze's formula as anything special before, but the great formula on these grabbed my attention.

Happy Friday!

LEX Cosmetics Cayman Cabana

I think it was back in September when I found a Groupon for LEX Cosmetics. It took me until February to place an order. It was so hard to make a decision on the colors I wanted! I love that LEX Cosmetics creates colors based on our ideas. Every few months they let us vote for our favorite from a group of submitted color ideas. The winning color becomes the next LEX polish. On top of that, every individual polish sale they make, $1 goes to the charity of choice from the person whose color idea the polish is made after.  In fact, blogger  Nails Beautiqued has a LEX polish called Peabow! This next polish is one of the pretties I picked up.

Cayman Cabana

Cayman Cabana is a sea-foam green creme.

This is such a pretty color. I typically steer clear from these shades because they do not tend to look good on me, but I love this one. The formula on this was superb. It applied like butter. I know lighter/pastel shades can have a thick and chalky-like formula, but this was the opposite. It was so easy to work with. I'm overall very impressed!

This particular polish was created by Lex the founder of LEX Cosmetics. LEX polishes are $10 each. If you buy this polish, $1 of your purchase goes to the World Wildlife Fund. Yes, their polishes are on the pricey side, but I really love LEX Cosmetics' positive purpose and message with their brand. Groupon or no Groupon LEX has found a customer in me! Plus, their polishes are great!

Happy Thursday!

Franken Neptune's Pool

**In "Share With You Sunday" I will now be featuring reader manis. If you'd like to submit yours click on"Share Your Mani" for more information. I only have one submission so far. Don't be shy! :)

Finally, I get to post this amazing polish! I got a new camera last week, and it has changed my swatching life completely. Believe it or not, I actually would not post certain polishes on my blog because my camera could not capture them properly. This was the case with this beauty, and I'm thrilled I get to post it now.

Long long ago RBL asked for people to submit dream polish idea for a fan collection. I submitted my idea, and it did not get chosen (wah wah wahhhhhh). The swatches I've seen of the chosen polishes are gorgeous though! Anyways, I shared my idea on my blog awhile ago, and Sarah from See Sarah Swatch frankened me my dream polish!

Neptune's Pool

Neptune's Pool is a royal blue jelly with a golden micro shimmer and iridescent flakies.

Ahhhh! I love this! It is such a beautiful polish. Sarah did an excellent job! In case you were wondering this was my inspiration....

This is the Roman Pool at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. It is absolutely beautiful. My parents and I used to spend every Christmas break on the central coast of California where this is located. So, in ways this was close to my heart. I love the mosaic tiles..the mixture of the blues..golds..lapis lazui...aqua....all of it! 

Sarah did an excellent job of capturing this and putting it into a polish for me. Thank you so much Sarah! Sarah now has a shop on etsy called TwoBirdsOneStore where she sells frankens and handmade jewelry along with her sister Sandy. I bought some polishes from her shop recently which I'll be showing you later on! 

Happy Wednesday!

Milani High Speed Fast Dry- Jiffy Orange

I was literally speechless this weekend at the Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida meetup when I saw what Milani gave us. They were extremely generous and gave us some awesome makeup bags filled to the brim with their new makeup and nail polish products. Again, thank you Milani! I'm so grateful! I was about put in a cosmetic coma. They had their High Speed Fast Dry nail polish line in there, and I found this one an instant favorite!

Jiffy Orange

Jiffy Orange is bright orange creme.

I am in love with color! I had seen this in stores, and passed it up. I thought what is another orange? I was wrong....this is a fantastic orange! I love the vibrancy of this color. The formula was easy to work with and smooth. On the bottle it says "one coat formula". This is more like a two coat formula. That's fine though, I rarely expect to ever use one coat of polish, so this does not bother me. Aside from that, it does quicker than your standard polish. This is great all around color, and I'm glad I got to try it!

Happy Tuesday!
