Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring Tokidoki

Hi everyone! I'm sad to say that this is going to be the last Reader's Choice Wednesday for a little while. My Fall classes are starting soon. With my class schedule, along with work, I'm not sure if Wednesday's will be a good posting day or not. Hopefully RCW will be back, but for now it will be on hold.

I'm really excited for today's post because I was super excited to wear this polish! It's Tokidoki- Latte! I snagged this baby when it was on sale at Sephora for $6 and man was it worth it! It looks crazy gorgeous in the bottle and really stands out on the nail. Latte is made up of baby bluish-green glitters with magenta and holo bar glitter. SO FREAKING PRETTY! I'm not usually one for bar glitter but I really love it in Latte. It was surprisingly pretty opaque in three coats and wasn't to much of a top coat eater. I'm not sure if Sephora was phasing out of the Tokidoki line or not. But for real, if you can still get this polish, buy it. You will thank me later! Prepare to be blinded by the blingyness!

Btw, the Tokidoki character Latte is like a moo cow and a milk carton put together. Not entirely sure what that has to do with this polish... It's awesome, so who cares! Are you guys into bar glitter? I think I may be coming around...

Also, I updated my blog sale if anyone is interested!

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring Candeo Colors

Hello everyone! I have some bad news for you... I think my camera might be dying. It's been making a super weird noise when it focuses and I can't seem to make it stop. No matter how far I zoom out or in, it doesn't focus all the way. Sorry ahead of time if my pictures are a bit wonky! Anywho, I have a RCW post for you today! Candeo Colors- Mallard was the winner! The polishes can be purchased from the Candeo Colors website. Just check the Facebook for restock info.

Mallard has some of my favorite colored glitter all in one polish! I think it predominantly has silver, green and purple hexes as well as smaller glitters. Who cares, it's just so glittery! It is a clear based polish so I chose Zoya- Caitlin as a base. I do feel that Mallard is slightly prettier in the bottle. Something just doesn't translate on the nail. It's very pretty but the colored glitter doesn't really stand out as much as I would like. Maybe I'm still to fixated on matte glitters LOL. It applies fairly smooth but does seem a smidge thick.

What do you think? Do you own any Candeo Colors? If so, which ones?

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring F4 Polish

Hi everyone! So I'm hopping this is the polish that won this weeks RCW because for some reason I couldn't see the results of the poll! Last time I had looked, this was in the lead though! The "winning" polish was Mint Chocolate Chip by F4 Polish! I love me some F4 so I was hopping it would be this! I also spiced up my mani with another F4 polish but you will see that in a bit. The ladies of F4 Polish are absolutely wonderful! You can find F4 Polish on Etsy.

Mint Chocolate Chip is spot on to its' name. It looks like yummy, minty, chocolatey ice cream on your nails. Who doesn't want that? It applied perfectly in three even coats. I was afraid that after to many coats the depth would disappear and you wouldn't see the glitter in the first layers. The "chocolate" glitter really stands out though. This was one that I kinda ordered on a whim. I wasn't sure if I would like it but I love it! My goal is to own all of the polishes F4 sells by the end of the year. It's a shameful goal. Trust me, I know LOL

Yummy! Now on to the little extra I added to the mani! I also happen to own Neapolitan from F4, so I decided to do an accent nail! Two ice cream flavors in one mani, crazy!!!! Neapolitan is a clear based polish with tiny chocolate glitter as well as pink and white hexes. 

What do you guys think? It's yummy, right? Don't forget to vote for next week's Reader's Choice Wednesday! I hope everyone has an awesome week!

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring Nail-Venturous

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a good week! I have to be honest, today's post is going to be a bit short. I don't want to bring the atmosphere of my blog down. I generally try to be pretty light hearted with my posts but today we had to put our family cat down today because we found out she had severely progressed feline leukemia. She will be greatly missed <3 If any of you are wondering after I post this, it's not the cat in my picture. That gorgeous kitty is Millie, mine and my boyfriends furbaby.

So as you might have remembered last week's Reader's Choice Wednesday got lost in the shuffle of life. I wanted to make sure I put it up this week so hopefully it's up before midnight! Nail-Venturous- Pinkerbell was clearly the winner! I can't remember if I mentioned it in the first RCW but all the polishes I put in the poll are untrieds. When I got my Nail-Venturous order that included Pinkerbell and Floam, Floam just stole my heart. Pinkerbell got put into by untried box and semi forgotten about. I'm glad I got to finally wear it! I feel like now that there are SO many indie brands, Nail-Venturous has become a staple. For the most part, anyone who is obsessed with indies, as I am, will most likely have a Nail-Venturous polish. At the moment I believe Nail-Venturous can only be purchaced from Ninja Polish.

Pinkerbell is tiny matte blue, yellow and pink glitter in a pink tinted base. It applies kinda thick if you don't let it dry between coats. I'm not sure how to describe it, but the polish with sort of pull the polish off the nail if it's not dry. That results in huge clumps of glitter balls at the tips. Not cute. I really do love the final product though. Squishy and pretty!

I'm going to be putting the new poll up after this post so be sure to get your vote in for next week! I also put up a Blog Sale tab if anyone is interested! I believe I'll be adding more to it tomorrow!

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring KBShimmer

Happy 4th everyone! Yay for the second week of Reader's Choice Wednesday! Well there was no tie this week! KBShimmer- Watercolor definitely won! I was hoping this would be the one because it has been sitting on my nail table waiting to be used. This was one was my favorite from her Neon Collection. I placed an order a little while ago that included some bath products. I'm thinking about doing a review, what do you guys think? All of the KBShimmer products can now be purchased directly from her website. KBShimmer and F4 Polish are probably my favorite inde sellers at the moment.

Watercolor is stunning! It's a medium jellish blue base with purple, blue, pink and holographic glitters in all different sizes. It definitely reminds me of a watercolor painting of a garden pond. Once again, I didn't layer it over any other polish. You guys should know by now that I don't like wearing undies LOL. I did three coats. The glitter, for the most part, was pretty easy to work with. I would get clumps every once in a while but over all it applied evenly. It's just so pretty! I will say that the larger blue hexes do curl slightly. Nothing unworkable though.

Reader's Choice Wednesday Featuring Amy's Nail Boutique

Yay! This will be the first post for Reader's Choice Wednesday! Sorry for the lack of posts this past week. I had a bunch to do. I also managed to break a nail at work. I should know by now not to go to work without polish on! Thankfully it didn't break so badly that they had to become nubbins. I aslo wanted to take a moment and congratulate Erin and Corrinne for winning my Facebook and blog giveaways! I hope you ladies love your new polish!

There was actually a tie for Reader's Choice. It was between Amy's Nail Boutique- Preppy and Nostalgic Nail Lacquer- Jordan. I ended up choosing Preppy! It's actually two of my favorite colors, lime green and pink! It's also matte glitter, so what more could a girl ask for! I couldn't decide if I wanted to layer it or not. I went back and forth quite a bit. I ended up not layering it because I really wanted the glitter to stand out. I don't think I would recommend not layering it. It took me four coats to achieve to opacity you see below. As you might have guessed, it because quite thick. Not horribly thick but it's noticeable. The polish applied wonderfully. The glitter just isn't really dense enough to use by itself. In the end, the tiny lime green and pink matte glitters look stunning. From far away they give off an orange hue. I'm in love! You can purchase Amy's polish from her Etsy.
