Indie Love: Vapid Lacquer Sweaters 'N Denim

So...hi! It's been a long time, eh? Well, I'm still around, and I'd really like to be here more, so let's just do this!

Today I have an indie polish to share with you. A glorious, beautiful, completely gorgeous polish. Today I have Sweaters 'N Denim from Vapid Lacquer.

So you're probably wondering what makes this polish so sexy? Well I'll tell you! First of all, it's a thermal. A thermal that actually changes colors. A thermal that actually changes colors on me! This is unheard of. Second, it has the most incredible peach shimmer. It simply glows on the nails. And lastly, it's just plain stunning. By all means, take a look below...



Here she is in her cold state. Do you see that peach shimmer?! Ahhh, I die.

Wet N Wild Spring 2015 - Silver Lake Megalast Nail Polishes

Hey, guys! Long time, no post, eh? I'm not even going to promise to post more, because really, I don't know when I can consistently. But for today, I have a new post for you!

As you get tell from the title, I have swatches from the Spring 2015 Wet N Wild Silver Lake collection. This collection consists of six polishes; five cremes and one shimmer. Let's get into the swatches!




First up is Tree Hugger:

wet n wild tree hugger

Tree Hugger is a pastel pistachio green creme. The formula was pretty smooth, although the wide brushes in the Megalast polish bottles are a bit wonky with this collection. Most of them had uneven bristles on the brush, so it made application a bit messy. This is two coats and one coat of top coat.

Up next is A Latte Love:

wet n wild a latte love

A Latte love is a light nude creme. Latte is the perfect name for it. This had the same smooth formula as Tree Hugger, with the same wonky brush. Shown is two coats and one coat of top coat.

The next polish is Stream Of Consciousness:

This polish is the only shimmer in the collection. It's a very sheer baby pink. I actually really like it, despite it being so sheer. It gives off a really delicate, feminine vibe, but it has that shimmer that I love in nail polishes. This is three thin coats and one coat of top coat.

Up next is Wear Skinny Jeans:

I'm a sucker for blue, and Wear Skinny Jeans is a lovely light periwinkle blue creme. Again, it has that smooth formula that applies very well. This is two coats and one coat of top coat.

The next polish is Warm Filter:

wet n wild warm filter

Warm Filter is a pastel coral creme. I feel like a robot repeating myself, but again, this had that great smooth formula all the other polishes have, This is two coats and one coat of top coat.

Finally, we have Reject The Mainstream:

wet n wild reject the mainstream

Reject The Mainstream is a pastel lilac creme that applied like a dream....so smooth and  the brush was actually pretty decent on this one. This is two coats and one coat of top coat.

I added some nail art to this last swatch,,,,I used LA Girl Extra! Extra! as a glitter gradient, and then watermarbled Wear Skinny Jeans, Tree Hugger and Warm Filter. I used clear polish in between the colors so that Reject The Mainstream would show below. I topped all of my nails with China Glaze Fairy Dust. Here are some pics of it below:








Overall, this is a really pretty collection for spring, and at $1.99 each, these polishes are a great staple to add to your collection, especially if you love watermarbling. I found mine at Rite Aid, but they're also carried at Walgreens and KMart.

Julie G Cruise Collection

I'm such a terrible blogger lately!! I do apologize. I will have quite a few posts in the next few days to make up for it, though. Today I have the Julie G Cruise Collection for you! Oh man, if you've never tried Julie G polishes before, please, stare at my pics, go out and buy one, and prepare yourself to become addicted. They're fabulous! Now, let's get into the collection!!

First up is Santorini:

Julie G Santorini

Santorini is a gorgeous periwinkle/cornflower blue cream with an amazing formula. There's tiny bit of shimmer, too. This went on like butta'. So smooth! This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Next up is Canary Islands:

Julie G Canary Islands

I'm usually not a huge fan of yellow, but this yellow actually had a decent formula. You'll definitely need more than one coat, though. And the color is showing up a bit brighter on camera, but it's a really pretty yellow. This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Neeext is Rio de Janeiro:

Julie G Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro has a spectacular formula! This is a one-coater!! It's such a vivid, creamy radiant orchid color. So pretty!! This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

The next polish is Old San Juan:

Julie G Old San Juan

Old San Juan is a creamy, bright tangerine orange color. It went on so smooth, too, just like the others. I'm not a huge fan of orange polishes, but this is one of the best that I own. This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Up next is Tahiti:

Julie G Tahiti

This is my favorite out of the collection! It's so gorgeous!! It's a minty green with a slight blue shimmer running throughout it. So smooth and creamy going on! LOVE!! This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Finally, this is Miami Beach:

Julie G Miami Beach

Miami Beach is a reddish coral color, although, it's showing a bit brighter on camera. Like all the others, it had a super smooth, creamy formula. This would look great on your toes, with a tan! So pretty!! This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Overall, this collection is a must-have! I know I'm a bit late to the party with these swatches, but I saw them in Rite Aid the other day, so I know they're still available. They retail for $3.99. Gogetchusome!!

Finger Paints Spring 2014 Collection

Hey, guys! Sorry, I've been a little absent lately, but hopefully I make up for that soon. Today I have the six new polishes from the Spring 2014 Finger Paints collection. It contains 3 creams and 3 glitter toppers. Let's get started!

First up, Dream I Can Fly:

Dream I Can Fly is a gorgeous sky blue cream. It's coming across a bit brighter on camera, but it really is a vivid, beautiful blue. The formula was just okay. It's a bit thick and streaky. It dries to a wax-like finish. This is 2 coats with 1 coat of top coat.


Next is Crystal Springs:

Crystal Springs is the blue glitter topper from the collection. It has matte blue and green microglitters, as well as holographic silver shards and silver shimmer. It's really pretty and unique, I don't have another polish like it in my vast collection. There's 2 coats on the accent finger, 1 coat on the rest and 1 coat of top coat on all.

Up now is Springtime Bloom:

Springtime Bloom is a bubblegum pink cream. It really is the perfect pink color! The formula was kind of crap, like Dream I Can Fly.....a bit streaky and thick. It also has a wax-like finish without top coat. This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Next up, A Pink Of Pixie:

A Pink of Pixie is the pink glitter topper. It's full of matter pink hexagons, tinsel and microglitter. It also has holographic silver microglitters. The accent finger is 2 coats, 1 coat on the rest, plus 1 coat of top coat on all.

The next polish is Mistful Thinking:

Mistful Thinking is a pretty lime green cream. The formula wasn't as bad as the other 2 cream polishes, but it was still a bit thick. It really is a stunning color, though. It's very bright and vivid. This is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat.

Finally, there's Shower With Flowers:

Shower With Flowers is the green glitter topper, and it's exactly like A Pink Of Pixie, but with matte green glitters and instead of silver glitter, it's gold. Again, I have 2 coats on my accent finger, 1 coat on the rest, plus 1 coat of top coat on all.

If you feel like you've seen the pink and green glitter toppers somewhere before, you're right. They are EXACT dupes for Milani's Sugar Burst and Sugar Coated. Below are the comparison pics:

See? Exactly alike. If you have one, you definitely don't need the other. Other than that, the creams are really pretty, but maybe not super unique. I think the one must-have of this collection is Crystal Springs. It's just a topper I've never seen before. I bought mine at Sally Beauty Supply, and all of April, nail polish is B2G1 free.

I'll be back soon with another indie polish spotlight!
