Dollish Polish 1,2, Freddy's Coming For You

     Today, I have 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You from Dollish Polish's Halloween Frights collection to show you. 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You is a Green, black and burgundy glitter topper in a clear base. As soon as I saw the first swatches of this polish I knew I had to have it. This polish is based on Freddy Kruger's striped sweater from A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. As some of you may know I am a HUGE Freddy Kruger fan, and have been since I was a kid (I don't include the abortion of a remake in the Nightmare franchise!!!! Robert Englund only thank you! Freddy = Robert England, Freddy ≠ Jackie Earle Haley end of story. Don't go there with me or you tempt full on nerd rage.). I guess I'm preternaturally attracted to sarcastic "bag guys," (or so it would seem) and that all started with Freddy. But I digress, I knew this polish had to be mine as soon as I saw it. So without further ado, here is 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You:

     For these pictures I used two coats of 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You over two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff topped with a heavy layer of top coat. Polish applied easily and dried quickly. I only needed to dab on the first layer and the second went on like normal polish. Over all I adore it. Pretty polish, based on one of my favorite baddies and I'm in nail and movie nerd heaven. Cudos for Dollish Polish for making this lovely lady for us. What do guys think? Are you loving it? Are you guys as big a Freddy fan as I am? Or am I just a weirdo? Talk to me below. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Ooh La Lacquer Hypnotize

     Today, I have Hypnotize by Ooh La Lacquer to show you guys. Hypnotize is a matte black and white small hexagonal glitter in a clear base. For swatching purposes I put one layer of Hypnotize over OPI My Vampire Is Buff.  And let me just say before I get to the picture that this is my favorite black and white glitter...as in ever. It's so pretty. Without any further ado, here's Hypnotize.

     I used one coat of Hypnotize over three coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff, all under a layer of top coat for these pictures. The formula is pretty normal, it applies easily and dries quickly. Over all an easy polish to use and you get pretty great coverage with just one layer. IMO. I really love this polish. So very pretty. By far and away my favorite black and white polish (In case you haven't noticed I kind of have a crush on matter glitter lately....I blame Floam...it started it). What about you guys? What is your favorite black and white glitter? Let me know with some comments below. Anyway, that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time. Stay classy and stay polished.

Dollish Polish We're Simply Meant To Be

     So before I get to the swatch I wanted to apologize for being MIA this week. Between Spring cleaning and a new workout routine, I have been busy...and had a serious case of T-Rex arms due to over doing it with the weights. It's hard to paint your nails when it hurts to extend your arms away from your body. Still a little sore but getting used to it.
      Anyway, today I am going to show you guys We're Simply Meant To Be from Dollish Polish's The Nightmare Before Christmas collection. We're Simply Meant to Be is a mix of hexagonal, square and micro glitter, in silver, violet, burgundy, black, pink, lavender, teal, and yellow all in a clear base. For the swatch I applied it over OPI Skull & Glossbones. Enjoy.

We're Simply Meant To Be - The Nightmare Before Christmas OS

     All pictures were taken with two coats of We're Simply Meant To Be over two coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones, finished with a layer of top coat. The polish applies easily (which is awesome considering how many sizes and types of glitter are in it) and dries at an average pace. Over all I love this polish. It's so pretty.  I saw the bottle and was like "It must be mine," then put it on and fell madly in love with it. The only issue (and it's not an issue for me specifically) is that the large black square glitter wanted to hide in the bottle. I only got one of them out. Which may be a deal breaker for you...but it's not for me, it's so pretty that with or without the black squares it's amazing. Also seriously if you haven't seen The Nightmare Before Christmas yet get out from under the rock you live under and watch it. It's a freaking awesome movie. Well that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Dollish Polish I'm The Boogieman

     Today, I am going to show you guys I'm The Boogieman from Dollish Polish. This polish is inspired by Oogie Boogie (i.e. The Boogieman) from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm The Boogieman. For those of you who don't know Oogie Boogie is a big, angry, burlap sack monster, that glows neon green in the dark, is filled with bugs, and is the main antagonist of the film. Also if you don't know this movie, I order you (nicely order you) to go watch it. It's awesome. I'm The Boogieman is a pearlescent sage green polish with medium sized green hexagonal glitter, small green hexagonal glitter, small silver hexagonal glitter, and small coppery brown hexagonal glitter in it.

Here's his song. The Oogie Boogie Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. 

     All pictures are with three coats of I'm The Boogieman and a heavy layer of top coat. And you are going to need the heavy layer of topcoat. the glitter gets a little bumpy but a thick coat of Seche Vite gives it a flat high gloss sheen. The formula is a little thick but applies easily and dries really quickly. Over all I am pleasantly surprised by this polish. I didn't think I was going to like it...in fact I didn't even order it, I received it as a free gift with purchase from a seller on eBay. Even when I looked at the bottle I thought "ehh." But on the nail it's actually quite pretty. I rather like it and I'm not a huge green fan (being this pale green has never been a friend to me). But this green I actually like. I can see this polish being warn for Saint Patrick's Day as my something green (because I loath being pinched but I don't own green clothing). Anyway what do you guys think? Are you loving it? Well that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Lac Attack Death Day Party

     Today, I have  Death Day Party from Lac Attack's Magical Musings collection to show you guys. Death Day Party is a smokey purple flake glitter in a pale smokey purple/grey jelly base. Free warning, this polish is another total mind freak. It looks completely different in the bottle. So, I will be showing you a close up in the bottle as well as on the nail so you can see how different they look.

Close up of the polish in the bottle....mind blown...looks purple in the bottle but shows grey on the nail. O.o

Stalk there Facebook here and order a bottle here. 

     All pictures are with two coats of Death Day Party, over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (MBSW) as underwear, and finished with a layer of top coat. This polish is inspired by the magic and wizardry from the world of Harry Potter. And it shows because this polish has a certain magic of it's own. I just love this polish. That said, this polish was a real pain to photograph because try as I might (After 300+ photos, across 2 days) I couldn't get a good picture of the golden/purple shimmer that runs lengthwise down the nail as it's turned from side to side. So you are just going to have to trust me that it has a really pretty shimmer to it. Some of the pictures hint at it...but none of them captured it completely. Sorry about that. But the polish is amazing however bashful the shimmer is in front of a camera. Death Day Party dries quickly and applies easily...a note though...you should probably pick different underwear because MBSW was a real pain in the butt to apply and it was as streaky as could be. But that has nothing to do with Death Day Party. Death Day Party is awesome. Also, how much does it tweak your brain that this polish looks purple in the bottle and grey on the nail....Anastasia (the creator) may be a witch (and I mean that in a good way) because she makes the best polishes, they are gorgeous, surprising, and mind blowing...she must have special nail polish powers to create such pretty polishes. She's the Professor McGongall of nail polish (see what I did there). I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this polish as much as I do. Until next time stay classy and stay polished.

Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum

      Today, I have Expecto Patronum from Dollish Polish to show you guys. Expecto Patronum is a milky white polish, with large and small teal Hexagonal glitter in it.

You can stalk their Facebook here and buy a bottle here.

     All pictures are with three coats of Expecto Patronum (No underwear) and a layer of topcoat. This polish is a thick formula but applies easily and dries fairly quickly. It's also worth mentioning that this polish is as tough as it is pretty. It survived the manicure killer. I was amazed. Pretty and strong (like all of my lovely readers). Can I just say that this polish is awesome. A very pretty polish and it survived the recipe that would have done in a lesser polish. I am in love. I guess, I should also mention that this polish is Harry Potter (more specifically the Expecto Patronum spell) inspired but that's not what drew me to it. Don't get me wrong I like Harry Potter I'm just not a Harry Potter fanatic/devotee/fan girl, just a casual interest is all. Translation: I have the books (and I've read the first three) and all the movies but only saw two of them (the forth one and the last one) in theaters. Now, if someone would make a polish line inspired by: The Walking Dead, Once Upon A Time, or Dexter...well that would be a horse of a different color. I would buy those lines in total. Cuz, I'm a weirdo like that. And that's how I get my fan girl on. No judgments. Anyway, I'm getting distracted again (which tends to happen a lot with me). That's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

    All pictures have two coats of Dementor's Kiss, over two coats of Orly Decades Of Dysfunction with a top coat over the whole thing. This polish applies easily and dries at an average pace. Free warning though, make sure each layers are completely dry before applying the next layer or you will have one heck of a mess on your hands. This was the first Lac Attack that I really, really wanted and it didn't disappoint. It's a gorgeous polish, and I just love it. Black and red are my two favorite glitter polish combinations....and Lac Attack nailed it (forgive the pun) with this polish. I am in love. Anyway that's all I have for today. Until next time stay classy and stay polished.

Lac Attack Amortentia

     Today, I have Amortentia from the Magical Musings collection by Lac Attack, to show you guys. Amortentia is medium pink pearl finish jelly polish with silver micro and lavender Hexagonal glitter in it. But enough blathering here she is.

     All photos are with four thin coats of Amortentia and a layer of top coat. This polish applies easily and dries quickly. I really great polish for Valentine’s Day I think. Specially since Amortentia (in the world of Harry Potter ) is a love potion I think it fits perfectly for this week. Also this polish is kind of a mind screw. Let me explain that when I first painted my nails after fourth coat but before it was completely dry it was a lighter color. Then it dried completely and ended up darker. It’s a very unique polish. In fact I almost took it off before fourth coat was dry because it was too light and I wasn’t digging it then it dried and I was like “whoa, it got darker.” Let’s let that be a lesson to me about judging polishes before they are dry. What do you guys think? Are you loving Amortentia? I am and I almost missed out because I made a judgment before it was dry. I won’t do that again.  Anyway that’s all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Lac Attack Beauxbatons Academy

     Sorry, I've been MIA this week but I've had a really bad sore throat/cold/viral plague infestation, and it's been kicking my butt. I'm still sick but I decided I didn't want to leave you guys hanging so I did a bigger post for today to make up for my sick butt slacking the last couple of days. free warning this will be a picture heavy post.
     Today, I am going to show you guys Beauxbatons Academy from Lac Attack's Magical Musings collection. Beauxbatons Academy is a milky bluish-white base with blue hexagonal glitter, darker blue micro glitter, white matte square glitter, and yellow matte micro glitter in it. For this post I swatched Beauxbatons Academy two ways, once by itself and once with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as underwear.

If you haven't checked out Lac Attack's nail polish out yet head over to her website here and see what you've been missing. And to see when she restocks all her pretty polishes follow her on Facebook or Twitter. 

     And lastly, my final thoughts on Beauxbatons Academy. Beauxbatons Academy with underwear is lighter, has less glitter and the white underwear (of OPI) comes though blotting out the pale smokey bluish-white base. With Beauxbatons Academy on it's own, you see a lot more glitter, more depth, and the pale smokey bluish-white base comes through. What do you ladies think? To wear underwear or not to wear underwear? I personally prefer it commando (no underwear required). I like the dept that you only get by layering Beauxbatons Academy over itself. This polish is so amazing it doesn't need panties. Lac Attacks motto "Fiercely Unique Nail Lacquer" is absolutely correct she makes the most unique Indies around. Nothing else looks quite like this polish. Well that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
