Indie Polish: Lacquerhead Polish Slumber Party

I am finally caught up!  I have swatched all my new polishes which is good since I have two more in the mail!  I came across Lacquerhead Polish from Oh Three Oh Four's blog and I am thrilled with this polish.  
"Slumber Party" is small holo and purple hex glitter.  The colors in sunlight show gold, blue, peach, and purple it is so pretty.  Formula is great!  There was no dragging of the glitter one coat leaves a beautiful coat of glitter, I did two coats for a little more intense glitter finish! 
I layered "Slumber Party" over Julep "Helen" which is a pastel lavender creme.  



I took A LOT of pictures to try and show the colors and sparkle of "Slumber Party" but sometimes pictures just don't do polishes any justice. 








I also used Juelp's Freedom Polymer Top coat.  This is the official description from Julep: "Extend the life of your manicure in minutes with Julep’s Freedom Polymer Top Coat. Activated by natural light, this innovative formula creates a unique polymer force field that prevents chipping for days longer than regular top coat, leaving your nails with a gel-like shine (but without gel-removal hassle). Any nail polish remover does the job—you’ll never pay for painful gel removal or soak your hands in nail-weakening acetone again. Freedom will give your nail color a whole new lease on life. Who knew technology could be so gorgeous?"
It's fabulous five minutes and my nail color was completely dry and sealed.  My biggest mistake is usually not giving my nails enough time to dry completely and I usually ding my nails.  Within a half hour of using the Freedom Top Coat I did laundry and no dings!!!

SpaRitual Hypnotic

Today I am showing SpaRitual Hypnotic 
I ordered this polish by accident I went to order another SpaRitual polish on Sephora and accidentally selected "Hypnotic" when I saw the color I decided not to exchange it.  
Hypnotic is unlike any color I've seen.  In the bottle it looks brown and on my nails it looks almost gunmetal grey.


I used Julep Lisa as my accent nail and topped it with Sephora by OPI "Spark-Tacular"








It is so hard to photograph this SpaRitual color I must have taken over 50 pictures trying to capture the color.  It is definitely a favorite of mine especially when I want something different.

Nail of the Day

Just received February's Juelp Maven box 

Painted my nails with Julep Claudette 

and added O.P.I Goldeneye as an accent nail


Claudette is a brick red creme.  The formula is nice it is on the thick side and goes on evenly this is 3 coats to cover up some bald spots.
