Polish Review- Bellskandi- Thermal Polish

Hiiiiii guys!!! 

It has been a crazy two weeks! I got engaged and now we have a date and a place for our wedding!! I couldn't be happier!! So, you know what that means?! WEDDING PLANNING! Holy. S&!@. 

Anyways! Today I have a review on awesome thermal polishes by Bellskandi (@bellskandi on Instagram). 

Let's start off with 1961. This is a green, minty jelly polish. In cold temperature it is bright green/mint color. 

In room temperature it starts to fade into a very light mint green color. 

In warmer temperature it turns completely clear. 

Because 1961's final transition is clear, I layered it over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. 

The next polish is Ramona Flowers. It's a jelly pink polish in cold temperature. 

It starts to transition into a lighter pink in room temperature. 

By warmer temperature, it's clear. 

Also layered over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. 

Last polish is Plumberry. This is a purple jelly polish with fine silver glitter. Plumberry is a triple changing thermal polish. In cold temperature it is purple. 

This polish starts to turn blue in room temperature. You can better see the darker blue by the tip of my nail. 

Once it hits a warmer temperature, it turns clear and you are left with the fine silver glitter. Neat, huh? 

Bellskandi is 3Free meaning it does not contain harmful chemicals and it is cruelty free. Overall, these polishes had a good formula. Because these are jelly based polishes, opacity can be achieved with 3 coats or more, depending on your personal preference. I recommend waiting in between coats as it can get just a little thick and using a white undie. This way, you can better see the transformation. 

It seems as though thermal polishes are making a comeback in the indie polish community. I'm happy they're coming back as these are super fun! Especially if you have some length in your nails. You end up with a 'natural' gradient!

May Nail Art Challenge- Day 1- Flowers

Happy Wednesday!!

I hope your week so far is going swell!

About two days ago I came across a post on Instagram. It was called "May Nail Art Challenge" by @californails. I checked out the days and the required nail art for that particular day and I thought that it was very doable! What I liked most about this challenge is that it wasn't done for each and every day of the month.

So moving on to today's nail art challenge which is flowers, I want to keep you guys posted as to what I'm doing. If you have an Instagram, follow me! @Shadesofglitter. If not, that's ok, I'll keep you posted here. ;)

Like always, I'll describe what was used first and then I'll show you pictures.

For this look I used OPI Jade is the New black and Mermaids Tears for the leafs. For the flowers I used OPI Steady as She Rose, Polish Me To Go Like Grapes? And China Glaze Fancy Pants. As a base color I used Zombie Darlings Double Tap on my pointer and ring finger. On my middle, pinky and thumb, I used Model City Pretty In Pink. For the stripes I used black, white and silver sparkle striping polish by Kiss.

Hope you like these!

Later days!

Nail Polish Review- PolisHaus Lacquer- "Love Me" Series

Happy Tuesday y'all!

I have a very colorful post for you today! It is the Love Me series by PolisHaus Lacquer. This series contains 6 glitter toppers.

(Polishes will be described first and pictures will follow in the order that they were mentioned)

I want to start off with Shower Me With Love. This is in a clear base with matte pastel glitters. These glitters come in the color green, blue, pink and white in the shapes of square, hexies and tiny dots. I have this layered over Color Club Pucci-Licious. Two coats. One coat of top coat. This was pretty easy to apply. You could do with one coat depending on your personal preference.

Next is Color Me In Love. Matte glitters in blue, purple, and magenta in square, tiny dots and hexies shapes. Also in a clear base. I've layered this over Floss Gloss Wavepool. Again, you could go with one layer of this but I chose to use two. It was very easy to work with, no need to fish out anything.

I Gotta Crush On You is next. This is probably my favorite one! This has green and magenta holo glitter. There's small dots and hexies glitter shapes. I have this layered over Sinful Colors Cotton Candy. Another easy to work with glitter topper. No need to fish around and you get plenty with only one layer.

Next we have Art of Love which I love!! There's matte glitter in black, purple, orange, yellow, blue, red and green. The shapes come in black hexies and squares and in tiny color dots. This is layered over Floss Gloss Neon Nacho. Super easy to apply.

In The Heat of Love is a metallic glitter topper in orange, magenta and matte black glitter. This one reminds me so much of Halloween! What do you think? The shapes these color come in are square, hexies and tiny dots. This one is layered over Sinful Colors Orange Cream. This one was kind of tricky to apply. I used the dabbing method for this one.

And last but certainly not least, we have Spring Love. A matte glitter topper that just says "SPRING" all over it, or in this case, all over my nails. This comes in yellow, green and purple glitter in square, hexies and tiny dot shapes. This one is layered over OPI Skull and Glossbones. Easy to work with. I didn't need to fish for any of the glitters however I did need two coats to get to what I wanted.

I really love these glitter toppers! I feel like I don't have enough of them and these pop out most from my collection. These can make a great addition to your polish collection!

These polishes are available at www.etsy.com/shop/PolisHaus.
A full size bottle of these is $8.75.

Thanks for viewing! Make sure you head on over and buy your favorite one!

I would like a Corona, Con Limon, Porfavor

Hiiii guys!!

Whatcha think about the title to this post? I love it! Pretty clever. ;)

Today's post is on Floss Gloss Con Limon and Jindie Nails Rave.

I could not have picked a better color to go with Rave. They were a match made in polish heaven!

The formula in Con Limon is the bomb.com! It really is as bright as it looks! I did not use a white base to emphasize this color. The BEST neon green out there. Con Limon craps on all the neon greens out there. Hands. Down.


Floss gloss is available at Www.flossgloss.com
Jindie Nails is available at www.shop.llarowe.com

Here are a couple of pictures of this duo.

Darling Diva Polish- Persephone, Ringer and Space Beetle

Hi guys!!!

Today I have an incredible post! Three polishes by Darling Diva Polish.

(Pictures are presented in the same order that they are mentioned)

You guys! These are flipping awesome!!! First I'm going to mention is Persephone. This polish is a beautiful duo chrome that shifts color from burgundy-purple to a crystal blue (as described from Darling Diva's store). It is in a purple-blue base. Opacity can be reached with just two coats.

Next is Ringer. This is purple sheer jelly with color shifting shimmer that shifts from copper to green. Depending on how the light hits it and the kind of undie you are wearing, you are able to view the green shimmer better. ;) In the pictures below, my pointer finger and middle finger have 4 thin coats with no undies. Ring finger and pinky have 2 thins coats over China Glaze Prey Tell.

And last is Space Beetle. OMG you guys!!!!! This is probably my number one favorite indie polish right now. This is a linear holo/duo chrome! This polish contains coarse and fine grade holo powder along with holo glitter. The duo chrome resembles a beetles wing. Simply amazing! Opacity can be reached with two coats.


These polishes are available on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/DarlingDivaPolish
