Import Post - Layla Cosmetics Hologram Effects Swatch-A-Thon

Hey hey peeps! Please accept my apologies for the lack of blog posts lately. I've been super busy preparing to launch my indie polish line, The Devil Wears Polish. Now that the blog and FB pages are switched over, all I've got left to do is create more pretties and get the shop done! If all goes as planned, I aim to open the first week of August. In the meantime, I've fallen even farther behind on swatches so lets check out this long over due review of Layla Cosmetics Hologram Effects nail polish. I won a giveaway from SFR Beauty, prize being a $100 gift certificate! Very awesome. SFR Beauty focuses on organic, high-end cosmetics, skin care, etc, and they are one of Ebay's premiere beauty suppliers. I recommend following them on Facebook and Twitter to stay utd on their sales, giveaways, and more. You can check out the shop here too. Now back to polish.

 It was very simple for me to decide what I wanted to use the gift card on. I've lusted after the Layla Hologram Effects since seeing them in Ulta about a year ago. So winning the $100 gift card was sorta like hitting the lottery for me, I got 6 Laylas! I will say the holo is spectacular in each bottle I ordered, but I was disappointed in the formulas for a few reasons... I've spoken with several other bloggers, and we all seem to have the same complaints. The application of the Layla Hologram Effects is SUPER tricky, and they seem to chip almost instantly. If you try to apply these like any other polish, you'll end up slapping on a good 5-7 coats. That probably has a lot to do with the chipping too. The formula is thin and uber touchy, you'll have patches and drag marks that are loads of fun to cover up if you're not extremely gentle and take care to avoid using the brush tip. After a lot of experimenting and chatting with other bloggers, I've finally figured out the best way to apply Layla Hologram Effects. Flat brush painting. When applying, use thick coats, spread it by gently moving the flat part of the brush down the nail. It also helps build up opaqueness and increase staying power when you layer these things over other polishes, but I didn't do it with all of my swatches today. Now I feel like a jackass to complain so much about a product, so I must say these things look friggin amazing. I'm very happy with the look of them, not so much with application and wear. Now I'll stop pissing & moaning and show you Jade Groove.

Jade Groove is light green, I'm assuming. I can't really distinguish whether it looks more green, silver, or blue but I'll go with green because of the name. I applied 3 THICK coats in my swatch. Here's a wonky-angled shot of Jade Groove, just because it's awesome...

Gorgeous right? It almost makes the shit-tastic formula forgivable. Now let's have a look-see at Gold Idol...

For this swatch, I again used 3 thick coats, but opted for Zoya Goldie as my undies. Gold Idol is the prettiest gold polish I've ever seen. Oh! One good thing about the Laylas formula is the dry time. It's so thin, it dries almost instantly. I thought I should mention that since I haven't already. Here's another Gold Idol shot for your viewing pleasure ...

 Very pretty! Next up I've got Mercury Twilight...

 I used 3 thick coats over Zoya Trixie, undies seem to help the holo bond a bit better. Here's another shot at yet another wonky angle...

All bitching aside, I LOVE the way these things sparkle! It doesn't matter if you're outside in the sun or sitting beside a reading lamp, these Layla's are spectacular for lack of a better description. Ready for some Emerald Divine? Me thinks you are...

I'm in love with that green. I was able to get away with 2 thick coats and no undies by using the flat brush technique. That be awesome! Here's another look...

 Gorgeous. I understand why it was on back order. But wait, they get even better. Next up is Purple Illusion.

 It leans more towards magenta than purple, but it's gorgeous anyway. I used two thick coats for my swatch, no undies. And here's a second look for ya...

Apologies for the super wonky angle. It's still pretty, but I saved my favorite for last. Feast your eyes upon Mermaid Spell...

 LOVE! I used 3 thick coats, no undies for this swatch. Can you see why it's my favorite? How 'bout I show you Mermaid Spell in a different angle?

 It's so holo-y and pretty, I've used it several times since I got it. Yeah, this one I love so much I'm willing to forgive the nit-picky formula. I have the urge to show you another shot to ensure you understand how awesome it is. You're welcome.

Now for my verdict on Layla Hologram Effects nail polish. They're difficult to work with, they chip easily, and being imported from italy - they aren't widely available here in the US. They're quite pricey too at $16 a pop. Although I've heard recently Ulta has lots of them on clearance. All issues aside, I am very happy with the finished holographic effect they produce. In my opinion, the only other company that's released holos comparative to Layla is Color Club with their magnificent Halo Hues. Unfortunately I don't own any CCs to compare them to, I'm just going by swatches I've seen. I haven't heard of any application issues with the Halo Hues either, and they're quite a bit cheaper. I'll grab a few more Laylas when I find them on sale, just because they amaze me and I'll use them for special occasions. I'm still very happy to add them to my small stash of imported polish, but I'm pretty sure Color Club would be the more reasonable choice if you're looking to get your holo fix. So, what's your opinion? Do you own any Hologram Effects? Is yours a love-hate relationship as well? Leave some comment love if you wish.

Import Review - Kiko Sun Pearl Collection!

He peeps! How goes it? I'm still uber busy preparing to open shop. I have yet to set an official date, but I'm projecting early August if all goes well. You know I'm a giveaway junkie if you've read any previous posts, and today I've got some awesome imports I won from The Mani Cafe's 100 FB likes giveaway!

You can check out Michaela's blog here, might I suggest liking her Facebook page here while you're at it? I was excited to win the Kiko Sun Pearl Collection for a few reasons...
1) I've never tried Kiko before
B) The colors are GORGEOUS!
3) My collection of international polish is very small, so these are a welcomed addition.

My macro kinda sucks, but I blame it on the massive amount of shimmer ;) I always have a hard time picking up shimmer, not the case with this though. I love the name too, Amable Chartreuse! How bout a little swatch-ism? It's a very awesome shade in my opinion...

 Guess what? I think I have a new obsession, collecting international polish! I definitely want more Kikos. The formula of Amable Chartreuse is uber sweet, perfect consistency. 2 coats did the trick, no top coat needed. Nice. I like the brushes too, they aren't the usual brushes, a tad thicker but not too big. Big fat brushes cause me to make a mess and that pisses me off. No issues with that using these Kikos. Here's a closeup for your viewing pleasure. You're welcome...

 Very pretty right? I LOVE the obscene amount of shimmer they added to these things :) Next up I've got Chili Pepper Red. This is the only one that made me curse my pallid skin tone. The bright red looks friggin amazing with the gold shimmer! Gives it a slight orangy look, perfect summer shade.

Please keep in mind each of these are way more spectacular than my macros suggest. Chili Pepper Red is super vibrant. Even though it would look better on darker folks, I'm going to be wearing this jewel quite a bit. I gasped out a string of four letter words when I swatched it. Check it out yo...

Another lovely formula, I used 3 thin coats. 3rd coat being just for small touch ups. As with the other Kikos, no top coat was used. Damn, that is a pretty color! And a closeup...

Very awesome. Next up is River Green. It is another very awesome concoction. Check it out...

The macro is awful, but my swatch isn't! Have a looky-loo...

This is the prettiest green I've seen in a while. Great formula, a glorious 2 coats offers plenty of coverage. No top coat. There's tons of that gorgeous gold shimmer, but it's loaded with green shimmer as well! Here's a closeup...

This may be my favorite so far. But wait...I still have to show ya the final shade of the Sun Pearl Collection. Blue Spot is probably my favorite, or maybe Chili Pepper Red is my fave. Or maybe Amable Chartreuse. No, I think they're all favorites. The fact that they are international makes them seem even prettier to me, teehee. I got creative with this swatch when I decided to show you how awesome the coverage is. Check it out yo...

No gold shimmer in this one. Blue Spot has silver-blue shimmer! How creative, I love it. Very refreshing. Look at mah swatch yo...

As you can see, Blue Spot is almost passable with one coat. A second thin coat is only needed for minor touch ups. Nice. I took note the shimmer is abound in this gorgeous shade just like the others, but the bluish-silver shimmer doesn't show up as much as the gold, therefore it doesn't look quite as shimmery. I still love it. As always, I must flash you a closeup...

See, it's still super shimmery just not as bright against the awesomeness of the blue base. I don't hold it against her one bit though. I've been collecting lots of darker blues lately and this one is one of the prettiest so far. My opinions on the Kiko Sun Pearl Collection. I dig the shit out of it. If you get a chance to try some of these, I would recommend it. Btw, if you're in the US or Canada and know of a place we can order these pretties from, please let me know! I'm on a no buy thanks to the polish-making venture, but hopefully it wont last too long. I'd like to try some other Kiko collections now me self....So, opinions anyone? which one's your fave? Own any Kikos? Love 'em, hate 'em? Leave me some comment love, until next time peeps!

Creations by Lynda Mint Orchid Swatchism!

Hey peeps! Sorry to my neglect poor blawg, but I doubt I've hurt anyone's feelings lol. My shiz came in early, so I had to play with it! Now that I'm behind on swatches, I figured I better pound this one out today. If you've missed my other Creations by Lynda review, I'll fill you in a bit. Her polishes are awesome, but that cuticle oil is friggin amazaballz! Whatever, I love it. I love it so much in fact, I had to order a bottle when the mini I won ran out. Plumeria is one of my favorite scents, but since it's summertime and I no longer drink the nectar of the gods, I figured it'd be nice to have the Pina Colada scented cuticle oil :) Glad I did that too, it smells yummy! But, along with my cuticle oil, Lynda also sent me one of her mini polishes, Mint Orchid, and a tealight candle in sugar cookie scent! Yay, looky!

Ordering from small businesses is becoming an addiction. The extra goodies and adorable packaging definitely make ya feel like a valued customer. And, I totally forgot Lynda sold candles. I love candles! Another thing for me to start blowing hubub's hard earned money on :) Enough chatter, let's get to Mint Orchid!

Crelly polish is one of the best things EVER in my personal opinion. I don't know that I'll ever get tired of them. Hope you guys like them too, I'll be listing several in my shop when time comes to open. But for now, let's check out Mint Orchid swatched...

It's so pretty :) Teal hex, square, and micro glitters in a white crelly base. There's also some light green hex and mint green squares, possibly more. Love the color theme, very fresh and minty looking. Reminds me of certs! That shot is in natural light, 3 coats of Mint Orchid with a thin coat of top coat. Why one thin coat? The next swatch demonstrates that beautifully...

I got so busy mixing up holos, I forgot I ran out of top coat. That closeup shot of awesomeness is Mint Orchid, 3 coats, NO top coat! Wooo I'm impressed! I'll need to purchase the full size version of this shiz when I start making some money back on all the polish making junk I bought last week. No joke, I started out small, I thought. But I still spent a few hundred dollars! Granted, about $50-$60 of that was used on my personal polish & nail care stuff ('cept for top coat obviously). So, I decided to do something I HATE doing...I put me self on a no-buy for a bit. I need to order more glitter, pigment, and I want to get another bottle of base because running out SUCKS. Other than that, I will try to behave myself and not splurge for the time being. But when I'm done the FS version of Mint Orchid will be mine. It has an excellent formula, and the glitters are small enough that no fishing is necessary even with those evil little mini bottles :) Dry time was good, and I'm uber impressed with how smooth the finish is without top coat. Now just because I really, REALLY love this stuff and I think everyone should try it...Let's show ya my cuticle oil, yay!

 No exaggeration, this stuff has worked wonders on my nails and cuticles. Since I'm awesome, I am placing a list of ingredients below. If you're not allergic to anything, I highly recommend you order a bottle to try out for yourself. I just gave up my secret for bangin' ass nails and cuticles. You're welcome.

Safflower Seed Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil , Sesame Seed Oil , Olive Oil, Soybean Oil , Aloe Vera Leaf Extract , Jojoba Seed Oil , Vitamin E

(with the option of 4 different scented versions)

You might be pleased with the price of Creations by Lynda cuticle oil as well. You can pick up a 3.5ml roller bottle for $3, and a full size 15ml bottle (with brush cap) for only $5! Click here to do that yo. I opted for the small roller-bottle because I love those damn things. Now that I've ordered an empty 2.5oz bubble bottle for no other reason than I wanted to, I'm seriously thinking about just ordering a couple ounces of this stuff so I don't run out for a while. I'm so not kidding, I like it that much. Now I don't really think it's necessary to show another shot of the candle. It's obviously a creamy white tealight soy candle in an uber yummy sugar cookie scent. I haven't used it yet, I'm saving it. However, I did have to unwrap it and touch it with the tip of my finger. OMG, my finger smelled like sugar cookie for like 10 minutes! Score :) I recon I'll need to try out more of these on occasion too. Now for some linkage. Click here to visit the shop's home page. There's some awesome goodies for sale. You can also follow Creations by Lynda on Facebook by clicking here, and follow her other page The Nail Files by Lynda here for awesome sneak peeks of new creations and more. Sooo, may I ask, will you be trying out this heavenly cuticle oil? Oooh, and isn't Mint Orchid friggin sweet? Own any creations yourself yet? Leave me some comment love if you choose. Until next time peeps!

Winner Announced...finally!

Hey peeps! Sorry it's coming a bit late. I slept in, and this being my 2nd rafflecopter giveaway- first involving international readers, well it got a bit confusing for me! I think I should've went with my first idea and just created a separate widget for the international prize. I had to keep drawing over & over, till rafflecopter finally decided to cooperate and pick an international winner. And then, well, it's SUPER hard to verify some entries, A Girl Obsessed is super popular on Etsy as well as Facebook! So, all that being said, I still haven't had enough coffee yet but I took care to verify everyone's entries and ensure I found an international winner even though Rafflecopter didn't want me to. Next time I know what to do, so it's all good! All 3 winners have already been emailed, they each have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen, yada, yada. Anywho, I'll shut up now, finish my coffee fix, and get busy with my review of Mint Orchid from Creations by Lynda. Talk at yas later folks!

Pinkey Nails - Irish Heart and Dark Skys + an important announcement!

Hey Peeps! How goes it? I am actually doing quite well myself :) I've totally neglected my blog lately, but I had good reason! Soon what is now Polished Dreams and Life Things will be changed to The Devil Wears Polish. My logo is UBER cute too, it's a tat hubs drew of me several years ago. Although I am the first to admit, those boobs & that ass did not come from me....Regardless, he captured my essence very well, right down to my tattoo addiction of recent years. It had to be tweeked, more clothing added, boobs made a tad smaller, etc to make it appropriate for a nail polish label. But, here's the final outcome. I wanted my brand label and name to reflect my own personality, so I hope you all like it!

 I'll switch over to clear stickers rather than printing out my own lame-ass white labels soon if all goes well. I apparently need to tweek the hell out of my printer too. Anywho, stay tuned for updates on my polish launch, giveaways, and stuff like that. You can like Polished Dreams and Life Things on Facebook here for some awesome sneak peeks & such. Now enough rambling about myself. Onward with the review!

The first Pinkey Nails creation is Irish Heart, a gorgeous green holo. Sara was kind enough to send Irish Heart to me in hopes of acquiring some sweet holo shots. I do not intend to disappoint.

My bottle shot leaves a bit to be desired, but my swatches rock ass. Check it out yo....

Let me start by saying, DAMN! Miss Sara, you would definitely please the polish gods with this little creation, if there were polish gods that is. Shimmery green holo, me likey. The formula of Irish Heart is friggin' awesome. Great coverage, 2 thin coats is plenty and dry time was good. Now I shall flash you a closeup. You're welcome.

Only now do I see the blue stain on the side of my finger. I put my damn watermark over it, which makes it that much more noticeable to my judgmental eyes. That really pisses off the obsessive-compulsive side of me. It's still a pretty bangin' closeup of said Irish Heart. Now allow me to rape your eyeballs with a mediocre outdoors shot. *Please note - the photo is cruddy because clouds are bullshit. Regardless, I did TRY to find some sunlight...

I swear every time I swatch a holo it clouds up! WTF?!? Even with all the cloudy overcast junk, that photo still captures the badassery that is Irish Heart, right? *Props to Julie aka Wishes of a Blue Eyed Girl, I totally stole your word chick! I'll probably be using it a lot as a colorful descriptive like shit-tastic from now on. Yeah, I stole that one too. Next up we have some Dark Skys, by Pinkey Nails...

This one is as hard to describe as it is to photograph. I guess it's like a muted, dusty mauve, leaning towards grey or silver? It's super shimmery, I know that. It's chock full of holo micro glitters and some other kind of micro glitter too. Have a look-see at mah swatch...

It's pretty. I didn't bother trying to get sunlight photos. When I swatched this those stupid garbage people that moved in behind me were all piled outside smoking pot and being the disgusting drains on society that they are. I will be moving a bit father south just as soon as my lease is up. Since that tornado took out half of Moore & far south OKC it's a tad bit difficult to find anything around here, so wish me luck! But that's enough bouncing off subject. Here's a closeup of Dark Skys...

My opinion, Dark Skys is prettier in person. I have a horrible time capturing shimmers, just trust me on that. The formula of Dark Skys is just as awesome as Irish Heart. No issues at all with application. And, she's another 2 coater. Sweet. So now I will go over both Pinkey Nails pretties I've reviewed for you today...Irish Heart is definitely my favorite, but I'm diggin the hell outta Dark Skys too. Sara has done a wonderful job creating both of them, and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next! Check out Pinkey Nails on Etsy by clicking here. Stay up to date on new releases, giveaways and more by liking Pinkey Nails on Facebook here. Now it's your turn! Which swatch is your fave? Do you own any Pinkey Nails creations yet? Have any lemmings? Leave me some comment love so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself. And...don't forget my giveaway ends on Monday. You can share each day for extra entries! Until next time folks, I'm out!

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coats Swatches! - Part 1 of 2

Hey peeps! It's taken me forever, but I've finally got some more Sally Hansen pretties swatched. I decided I needed to try these things after eyef**king Nails inc. Feather Effect pretties. The SH version sells for $5.49 in my area Target stores, so about half the prize of Nails inc. Score. Or it was score, till I got Target's email earlier. Something about Fuzzy Coats priced at $4.75. Damnit, I hate when that happens. Anyway, I'm still kinda glad I got them. They peaked my interest, but I wasn't sure if I would actually like wearing them. They're just short, little bar glitters in a clear base. So, I did what any rational-thinking nail blogger would do...I had hubs drive me around to 4 different Targets just so I could acquire a complete set of Fuzzy Coats. I was stoked to share my photo of what would've been my first purchase of a complete set of polish. Every friggin display I saw only had spots for 6 shades, so that's what I got and yes - we really had to hit 4 Target's to find them all. It didn't take long for a reader and my daughter to point out there are EIGHT Fuzzy Coats shown on Sally Hansen's website. OMFG. Are you KIDDING me?!? Damnit, you have no idea how proud I *was* to have purchased a complete collection of nail polish. Seriously, that never happens. What the hell Sally Hansen? Me no comprende  and that is so NO bueno :( I don't know how to say it's bullshit in Spanish, but if I did I'd throw that in there too. Anywho, enough rambling. Check out mah Fuzzy Coats. I love that they are called Fuzzy Coats btw :D

 Behold Fuzz sea! You know I have to post macros to show the detail. You're welcome :) Teal and yellow bars in a clear base. Now how's about a swatch for your eyeballs? This is an odd color combo, but I dig it...

Interesting, don't you think? Makes me think late 80's & very early 90's. This here swatch is one coat of Fuzz-sea over Sinful Shine All The Rage, a thin layer of top coat too. The Fuzzy Coats take a bit of work to get a decent look. The directions on the bottle say to use 2-3 coats, and to gently shake the bottle. After tons of experimenting I decided to go a different way with them. I've noticed the dab method seems to work better with these, for me anyway. Well, it seems to look better when I dab and lightly drag the brush down the length of my nail. The more bars you can get to face the same direction, the better the look too. And, I think application is easier when I don't shake the bottle first. Yeah it sounds weird, but my personal recommendation - don't shake these up before using, and wipe most of the glitter off the brush first - a little goes a long way. The more tiny bars on your brush, the more likely you are to get a clumpy look :/ These are just my opinions, and how I managed to get the look above. I don't think the folks at Coty or whatever actually meant for them to be used that way, but to each his own right? And, shaking it up just seems to get tons of the hairy little glitters clogged around the neck and up the brush, so it makes for a messy bottle neck and an even messier application :(  One of my biggest pet peeves, glad I figured out how to prevent it for the most part. Remember how I recommended to wipe most of the glitter off the brush before applying it? Less really is more when it comes to these Fuzzy Coats. Allow me to demonstrate...

Eeh, I mattified it. It looks better that way, just trust me. I understand they're meant to look this way but it looks so, ummm, messy? Can you see what I meant when I said less is more? Start adding layers and you get that gross, hairy look. I got creative and decided to add a coat of Wool-lite to my index finger, another coat of Fuzz-sea to my bird finger, 1 coat Peach Fuzz on my ring finger, and 1 coat Wool Knot to my pinky. I've almost satisfied my curiosity on layering different Fuzzy Coats over one another. I'm sure it could be done tastefully, but mine's pretty gross. Here's a swatch of Fuzz sea over Sinful Shine My Kryptonite...

My index and ring fingers have one coat, bird and pinky fingers have two. And I should tell you that swatch was done before I figured out the easiest application technique. One other thing I noticed about the Fuzzy Coats, they don't look too bad layered, as long as you're looking at them from a distance. No kidding! These in-your face swatch photos kinda bring out the ugly side of them, I think? Anywho, ready for another fuzzy shot? Well...

Fuzzy Fantasy is a cute one! I love me some green, especially neon or pastel green.

There's one coat over Sinful Colors Cotton Candy, mattified with NYC Matte me Crazy. I like that combo, it's a Springy look for sure. I had to try Fuzzy Fantasy over another color. So naturally, I chose the last color I should've went for. Check it out y'all...

 Yep. I did that.

source: Tumblr

Ok, so I didn't really need Tyra Banks to tell me what that swatch is. Horrible, it's just horrible. That's Lightening from the SH Insta-dri line. It's not the worst combo ever, just the worst on me. I wish I could rock bright yellow. That swatch kinda makes me think of an uber cold corona with a lemon wedge in the neck, or those big frozen margaritas you can find in any cheesy Shenanigans-style restaurant. You know, the ones that are about the diameter of a human head? mmmm. Alcohol is awesome. Anyway, the point is, this would probably be cute on someone that wasn't the color of mayonnaise. Now let's move on to the third and final Fuzzy Coat of this post. Check out some Wool Knot...

Cute blue and white bars. Shall we check it out swatched over a light blue polish perhaps?

There it is... It's a delicate, subtle look right? Makes me think of dumbass wedding traditions. You know, like something borrowed, something blue? I actually like it though. So far I'm more impressed with this one and Fuzz sea than any of them. I think it's adorable :) On my ring finger I again decided to experiment and added a coat of the pink fuzzy- Wool Lite. I used a coat of OTD, but ended up adding an extra coat on my ring finger to completely smooth it out because I obsess and pick at the slightest little bump on my talons. Talons. Wow. It feels nice to be able to say that again. And it's much more fun to paint these things than my grotesque little nubby nubs I carved up a few months back. No matter, here's a shot of them coated in fuzzies - closeup...

So...my opinion on these fuzzy things - I like 'em when they're applied a certain way. I like some of them more than others. I'm thinking they'd be fun to franken with. I'm still not sure why they intrigue me so. Now shall I ask your thoughts and feelings on Sally Hansen's Fuzzy Coats? Love 'em, hate 'em, or are you on the fence like me? I mean, I like them, I think? There's still several things I don't like about them. For me, application is a tedious pain in the ass. BUT - I've still got some experiments to do before I make a final decision. Well folks, I hope you've enjoyed today's ramblings. That about does it for now. Look out for the other Fuzzy Coats review soon, and don't forget the giveaway - mmmkay? There's 2 weeks left, and there's an international prize too! Click here to get to it. Good luck :)
