I am always excited for new A England polishes, there is always at least 1 that is a 1 coater and that makes me happy.

Hi guys! Hope you all had a nice long weekend if you're in the US! It was crappy weather here so I pretty much did nothing.

Clearly a very productive 3 days for me haha!

Loaded Lacquer Tractors Are Sexy Swatch & Review

Hi guys! Today I have a polish from Loaded Lacquer called Tractors Are Sexy to share with you! This polish was brought up during the last #NailGlossip chat and after being told that I needed it I went and checked it out and decided that yep, I definitely did need it haha! This polish is actually from a duo, the other polish is a bronze-y holo called Booze & BBQ. I almost talked myself into both of them but managed to checkout before *accidentally* adding the other polish to my cart :P

Tractors Are Sexy is a grassy green holo with electric blue bits of glitter. The blue glitter is pretty much impossible to see in my photos but you can see it in person depending on the light you're in. The holo is on the subtle side, it's not one of those crazy ones that is like HEY when you step out in the sunlight, its kind of a nice change of pace to be honest (not that I don't love a crazy holo (because I do!). The formula was good it had a nice consistency and was easy to apply. It was a touch sheer on the first coat but I only ended up needing 2 coats for full opacity.

Loaded Lacquer is available at http://loadedlacquer.com, Tractors Are Sexy retails for $10! When I looked last night it was in stock!

piCture pOlish Honeymoon Swatch & Review

press sample

Happy Friday! Today I have a quick post for ya of piCture pOlish Honeymoon. This polish is a collaboration with Manicurator,  this shade was inspired by the caribbean where Victoria spent her honeymoon! I can definitely see the inspiration in the color, it kind of reminds me of the gorgeous ocean down in that area. When I was in high school my parents and I went on a cruise to the caribbean and it was so incredibly gorgeous...it's nice to find a shade that captures that beauty nicely!

Honeymoon is a blue green base with subtle scattered holo and shimmer that looks a bit blue/purple to me! The formula was great, it was a nice consistency and flowed nicely onto the nails. The opacity was also good, I used 2 coats!

piCture pOlish can be found at www.picturepolish.com.au, they also have etailers all over the world, for a full list check out http://picturepolish.com.au/network
