NN3000 Squeeze Me Aqua Man

So I would like you all to feast your eyes on this B E A U tee-ful blue from NailNation 3000 called Squeeze Me Aqua Man! I actually named this one!



Squeeze Me Aqua Man can be a one coater if you use a thicker coat... I personally like using thinner coats so I cut down on drying time. So I used two thin coats.








I used NailNation 3000 Basic Black to stamp with and Bundle Monster plate BM-406

A Shirley Ann Nail Lacquer Review

Today I have for you another new (or new to me ) Indie maker: Shirley Ann Nail Lacquer

These polishes were sent to me for review so everything expressed here is my honest and unbiased opinion. Please see my disclosure policy located in the tabs above

All pictures are taken with top coat

First up we have Rudolph Ralphed which is a glitter topper. I usually am not a big glitter fan but I have to say that I love this one! I can't say that I have anything like this and I will be wearing it again for the holidays! It is the perfect combo of Red, Green and Gold glitter.






One Coat alone

One coat over Ruby White Tips- Breakage

One coat over Nailnation- All is Golden

One coat over OPI- I'm Not Really a Waitress


Two Coats alone 
(sorry it is the wrong way... Blogger has a mind of its own sometimes and would not load this correctly)

Rudolph Ralphed requires no fishing what so ever! You do however need to use a light touch or you could drag all the glitters to the edge of your nails. Unlike most glitters this was a breeze to remove! 





Next up we have In Loving Memory, which is tribute to her mother whom she lost 10 years ago in November. This polish is a beautiful blue glitter topper, or if you prefer you could do multiple coats and wear it alone.













One coat alone

One coat over Nailnation- Take the Crown

One coat over White

One coat over Nailnation - Molten


 Two coats alone

In Loving Memory requires a little fishing (in minis that is to be expected though) to get the hearts. You do need to use a light touch or you could drag all the glitters to the edge of your nails. This one was also a breeze to remove! 


All and all I have to say the Shirley has changed my mind on glitter toppers!


These polishes and much more can be found on her Etsy shop here

Shanty - A Creations by Lynda Review

Today I have a review from a newer indie maker Creations By Lynda LLC. 

*This was sent to me free of charge for my honest opinion* 


Shanty is from the Southern Belle Collection which is set to be released on November 1st. 


This collection will include: Peppermint Princess, Flirt, Belle's Wear Blue, Scarlett Fever, Christmas Curtains, and Shanty


Each polish in this collection was inspired by a different dress Scarlett O'Hara wore in Gone With The Wind.



(If you click on the names of the polish it will take you to the other bloggers whom have reviewed those colors)


Lynda describes this as: "This one is called Shanty because she wore this dress in "Shanty Town" in the movie. This color is very intriguing. In some light it looks more silvery blue, but in others it shows off a bit of purple." 




And is Lynda ever correct! I had the hardest time photographing this polish! lol Everytime I took a pic of this I thought... that doesn't look like the other one...


This is a light purple/blue gray metallic with a hidden shimmer! (video at the end) This is sheer in one coat... but who really does only one coat of anything anymore lol. All the following pictures are with three coats and topcoat.



You can see a little of the shimmer on my pinkie nail







 


Trick question... Do you know which pictures were taken when? Some of these were taken one week after application. o_0! YES you read that correctly 1 Full WEEK later! This polish wears like a gel almost. I did have minimal tip wear... nothing noticeable to the general public but noticeable to the polishaholic in me. No chipping whatsoever, and the application was great!






Highly recommend this color and any other colors from Creations By Lynda LLC

This Collection and so many other great things like: handmade soy candles, soaps, cuticle oil and so much more from Creations By Lynda LLC can be purchased at www.creationsbylynda.net
