The Prettiest Blue Glitter!

Good morning, readers! I think I saved the best of the three Not Too Polished polishes for last. This one is easily my favorite and I don't want to take it off, EVER. (I am a blue polish person, if you hadn't noticed). This is Bengal Fire from the July Limited Edition Firecracker Collection. It's a blue tinted base with royal multiglitters.

As you can see, there are glitters that aren't blue in the mix, but blue is the most prominent.

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

2 coats of Not Too Polished Bengal Fire

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

Would you believe how this is only 2 coats? Very pigmented jelly base and packed with glitter! I just love it and can't stop staring at my nails! It was easy to apply and is completely smooth with one coat of top coat. I really can't say enough good things about this polish. GREAT JOB, LIZ! 

Here is Liz' Not Too Polished Facebook Page as well as her Etsy shop for updates and purchasing. This is part of July's LE Firecracker collection so get it while you can!

Not Too Polished Dragonstone!

Good morning, readers! I have another polish from Not Too Polished to show you today! It's the other one from the Great Houses of Westeros Collection and it's just been released today! This is called Dragonstone! It's a black jelly base with different sized red glitters.

It's similar to Deborah Lippman Ruby Red Slippers, NYX Dorothy, Wet n Wild Behind Closed Doors, and Spoiled Ants In My Pants. But Dragonstone is the only one out of those with square red glitter instead of hex glitter! It's a great color combination!

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

3 coats of Not Too Polished Dragon Stone

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

This did need 3 good coats to make the black base dark enough but it's so nice and squishy looking! I think one or 2 coats over a black base could get the same effect and you could save some of the Dragonstone that way. It was completely smooth with one coat of top coat! The red squares weren't too hard to get on the brush, either, as I didn't really have to "dig" them out but just dipped in the brush as usual.

Liz of Not Too Polished released this collection today! Go see the others from the Great Houses of Westeros Collection and get yours now! Here is the Not Too Polished Facebook Page as well as Liz' Etsy shop for updates and purchasing.

There's A Holographic Snowstorm On My Nails!

Good morning, readers!! I received 3 polishes from Liz at Not Too Polished this week to review and share with you! Instead of doing all 3 in one post, I really wanted to get to wear them and not "swatch" them. So today I'm wearing The Eyrie on all of my nails!

The Eyrie and one of the other two that you will see soon, Dragonstone, are both from the as-yet unreleased Great Houses of Westeros Collection inspired by the A Song Of Ice & Fire novels. I haven't read them(but I have watched the first Game of Thrones season and plan to start the second soon!) and I love when indie makers do book, movie, or show inspired polishes because it appeals to fans of the polish as well as fans of the novels.

The Eyrie is a sky blue jelly base filled with teeny holo glitters, white small hex glitters, medium silver holo hex glitters, and giant white hexes. It really reminded me of a holographic snow storm on my nails! There is definitely a "winter" feel to it and the added holo sparkle makes it so awesome!

I wish my lightbox could capture more of the holo sparkle. We can thank that wonderful Tropical Storm Debbie here in FL/GA for stealing all of my sunlight this past week.

Are you seeing a snow storm as well?

That was the only giant white hex I was able to get out of the mini bottle on all 10 fingers. But I'm glad I was able to get it. I think it would be easier in larger bottles with larger brushes.

I love bottle shots of indie polishes.

Finally a picture showing off some of the holo goodness!!

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

3 coats of Not Too Polished The Eyrie

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast(double coat on the middle finger with the giant hex to hide the edges)

This is a lovely sheer blue jelly packed with glitter that builds nicely! I had to do 3 coats and can still barely see some visible nail line but that doesn't bother me with jelly polishes. I think the many glitters distract from that anyway. It was very easy to apply and the only glitter that was hard to get on the brush would be the giant white hexes. The small white and silvers were on the brush when I would take it right out to paint on and I only stopped to shake up the bottle after each coat to bring the glitters back toward the top. 

This is my first from Not Too Polished and I was not disappointed at all! I'm quite impressed and am excited to wear this as a full mani! I bet it would also look great layered over other blues if you didn't want to use 3 coats each time. 

You can check out Liz' Not Too Polished Facebook Page as well as her Etsy shop for updates and purchasing. Just don't forget that this collection hasn't been released yet. Stay tuned this week for the other 2 polishes I have to show you!
