Sinful Colors Fantasy Swatch

Hello again everyone! I have another pretty polish to share with you today!

Sinful Colors has been coming out with quite a few new polishes lately and I want on a bit of a haul when Walgreen's put them on sale for 99 cents! I always wait for these sales to get this brand because they seem to happen often.

The polish I have today is called Fantasy. It is a glitter polish consisting of fine silver glitter and small hexes of multiple colors. It has a party-ish feel to it and it is super sparkly!

In this first picture, the index (one coat) and middle (two coats) fingers are Fantasy by itself. The ring (one coat) and pinky (two coats) fingers are on top of Essie I Am Strong. This picture was taken with no top coat.

This next picture was taken after two coats of Seche Vite top coat.



I really love this polish! I am sure it would look gorgeous of many different colors! I will definitely be keeping this in my collection!

Thank you very much for reading! I hope to see you again soon!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I know a lot of us like to do something special on our nails for holidays. I am one of those people! I tried my hand at stamping again and was surprised when I got it to work (mostly) right!

The white I used is Pure Ice Super Star, the red is Orchid Cougarville, and the black is Pure Ice Black Rage.

On the index and ring fingers, I used Vivid Lacquer 001. If you would like to check out more of her products, you can visit her store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/vividlacquer This is by far my favorite stamping plate! 

On the middle finger and thumb, I used a Bundle Monster plate, BM 02.

On the pinky finger, I used another Bundle Monster plate, BM 03. You can find Bundle Monster stamping plates on Amazon.com.

I really like the way this mani turned out! I hope you like it, too!

Thank you for reading and Happy Valentine's day!

Orly Androgynie Swatch

Today I thought I would try out a higher cost brand of polish I am sure we are all familiar with, Orly.

I picked up this bottle because I love polishes that are chock full of glitter! This polish does seem to have an issue with the glitter settling, so you have to shake it up before use if you want any glitter.

This polish consists of a black creme base with small silver and gold glitter and medium hexes of muted green, blue, silver, and peach.

Take a look at the bottle shot. Most of the glitter has sunk to the bottom while some pieces are floating around the middle. The top is almost void of glitter.

Even with this settling problem, I was determined to try it out! Here is a shot of one coat, which did not give full coverage, but that is to be expected with polishes like this!

 At this point, I knew that it would look pretty with another coat! Here is two coats.

After two coats, the polish had some texture to it due to the glitters. This was easily fixed with a generous helping of Seche Vite!

Last, but not least, here is the end result after two coats of Seche Vite!

I think this polish is very pretty and I would definitely recommend it!

Thank you very much for reading and I hope to see you again!

New Star Candy Polishes!

I have recently released two new polishes and I couldn't wait to share!

First, we have Milky Way. This is a deep blue jelly polish with fine silver and blue glitter, gold hexes, and silver holographic shreds. Its inspiration, of course, is the beautiful galaxy we call home!

Let's start off with the label photo!

My wonderful friend Krista designed the labels! I can't thank her enough!

Next, let's see how the polish looks in the bottle!

Last, and most important, let's see how it looks swatched!

I really thought that it turned out well, especially over white or black undies!

Here is a clearer shot over black undies.

Next, let's move on to the second new polish, Smaug! This polish was inspired by the dragon from one of my favorite books, The Hobbit. He is the red dragon that takes over the Dwarven mountain and boy does he love gold! He lays around on it so much that his belly is encrusted with gold!

So, for this polish, it is a red jelly base with small red squares, gold dots and gold shimmer to represent the treasure, and large silver hexes to represent the Arkenstone.

Here is the label shot!

Now, the polish in the bottle shot!

And, of course, the swatches!

Both of these polishes are available in full 15ml size and a 5ml mini size! If you would like to take a look at my shop, please visit Star Candy Polish. You can also look at my shop through my Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/StarCandyNails

My Shop is Now OPEN!

Great news, everyone! I have successfully mixed, bottled, and stocked my first hand made polish! I can't even begin to say how excited I am about this!

First, I would like to show you what the polish looks like in the bottle!

Here is the back view so you can see the polish better!

Of course, I didn't forget to swatch my little beauty!

I also took a better picture of the polish with black undies because I though it looked so nice!

Revlon Girly Swatch

Today, I have a polish I have been trying to get my hands on for a while now! I know it is very sought after and sometimes hard to find, but I finally managed it! The name of this polish, of course, is Revlon Girly. 

First off, let me give you a description of it. It is a milky pink creme base absolutely packed with glitter! There are large purple, pink and magenta hexes, along with small hexes of holo pink and purple. Gorgeous!

Here, we have one coat by itself. It is a bit hard to see the pink hue of the base with my skin tone, but I assure you it is there.

It seems the trick to this polish is to start with a glob on the end of the brush and sweep multiple times over the nail to get good coverage of glitter.


The second coat really added to the appeal of the polish, making a bit of a jelly sandwich look.

I had to dab a bit of the base on the tips of my nails to keep the white from showing through too much.

For top coats, I though... you know what would look good? Matte! So, here I have the first two nails with two coats of Seche Vite and the ring a pinky finger with two coats of NYC Matte. Oh my goodness, I LOVE the matte on this polish!

I like both top coats with this, but I have to say my favorite is by far the matte!


For a better look, I took pictures of them separately!


Seche Vite

NYC Matte

I absolutely adore this polish and I can't quit gawking over it! I hope you folks enjoyed this swatch as much as I did! Thanks for reading!

Jordana Purple Punch

Hello again everyone! I was glad to see that everyone was so pleased with my first swatch, so I though it would be a good idea to do another!

I have another lesser known brand called Jordana that I only just began seeing in my local grocery store. It runs about $3 per bottle and has a nice formula. I would rate it along the same lines as Sally Hansen.  

The polish I have today is Jordana Purple Punch I really adore this shade of purple that comes out with a creme finish.

 This is one coat, which does not come put completely opaque, but the polish does dry rather fast, so I did not have to wait long to put on a second coat. It applies very smoothly!

 This is two coats of Purple Punch with one coat of Seche Vite. I certainly apologize I forgot to take a picture before the top coat, but I can tell you that it did have a nice gloss by itself.

I would readily recommend this brand to anyone who loves polish! They make many other shades and also make glitter polishes, which I hope to get my hands on soon! I will be sure to swatch any more that I can get!

Thanks again for reading!
