Treasures By Tan Review & Swatches of Hpnotiq Blush, Kinky, Sunkiss, Midorita, and Champagne On Ice

I got a big ol' haul from Treasures By Tan in the past week I want to show you.  Let's get going!

This is the beautiful Hypnotiq Blush

This is 4 thin coats, smooth application, sheer yet buildable

It has a beautiful blue shift, looks gorgeous alone and would look amazing over other colors.

Next up we have ...

Kinky!  My favorite of the haul

4 thin coats, smooth perfect application

Vibrant holo, beautiful magenta color, a must have

Ok now he have...

Sunkiss! A very vibrant yellow

5 thin coats, this is one I think is best for layering, the color is pretty wild!

Nice vibrant holo

Here's one coat of Sunkiss over a red shade

And next we have...

Midorita! A pretty pearly mint color

This is 3 thin coats, nice smooth application, great color!

This one is the most opaque, the only pearly finish one, and the least holo

Last but not least we will be looking at...

Champagne on Ice!  Gorgeous pinky golden nude color

This is 4 thin coats, smooth and easy application

Easily wearable, perfect for work shade!

The Devil Wears Polish Swatches + Reviews of Happy Holo-Days Trio + Nice & Toasty

The Devil Wears Polish did it to me again!  Made me want to kick myself for not buying MORE!  WHY did I buy mini's???  Here, you'll see what I mean...

First of here's a pic of haul (more has been ordered!)

I'm starting off with a polish in the Happy Holo-Days Trio, Snow Day ...

 After swatching this one nail, I took it all off and did a full mani...

I just adore this pale greyish white color!

3 thin coats over OPI Nail Envy with a coat of Seche Vite to seal the deal

The polish has a really wonderfully creamy consistency, opaque in 2 coats, I did 3 here though. The pale greyish white color is flattering and really pretty on the nail, like glistening snow. The holo is subtle but still visible. A simple coat of a holo top coat can give u more holo if you like... I actually did a holo top coat challenge on 1 hand with this polish, I'll do a future post on that.

Let's move on to the next color in the Holo-day Trio...

This is Unwrapped.. a beautiful true Christmas red holo

Opaque in 2-3 coats, I used 3.  Smooth easy application, perfect red!

I will do a full mani at a later date.  Now let's see the other polish in the Happy Holo-days trio...

This is Elf Kiss

Gorgeous Christmas green holo, looks a bit bluish here, but it's the perfect holiday green

Opaque in 2 to 3 coats, I used 3, perfectly smooth application.  Full mani to come at a later date.

 Let's take a look at the other mini I received in my order..

 Nice & Toasty... a brown linear holo, nice and cool brown shade

Opaque in 2 to 3 coats, I used 3.  As usual, smooth, easy, perfect application

Beautiful holo, gorgeous cool brown shade.  It's a winner! Pick yours up right HERE

The Devil Wears Polish Linear Ultra Chrome No 1 Swatches & Review

Say hello to the super sexy The Devil Wears Polish new nail polish in Linear Ultra Chrome No 1 !!!

What a beaut! She's described as "No`1 is part of the LE Linear Ultra Chrome Trio. She's the cyan/purple beauty, my personal favorite. Each bottle comes loaded with Chromaflair and Spectraflair for an awesome linear/chrome effect."

I literally said "wow" upon application, which is smooth and opaque in 2 coats, but I went with 3 over OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, and a coat of Seche Vite Top Coat

This baby's packin' holo!

An elderly lady just told me my nail color was "bitchen"!  No lie!  And she's right... it's bitchen!

Mirror like, smooth finish, with that strong holo rainbow!

Those purple edges with that blue center... YUM! the duo chrome is very visible in all lighting!

And this is how it looks with no lighting indoors. Glorious! The duo chrome and holo are visible and the nail takes on an overall smokey teal color.  Why didn't I buy the whole trio?!? Kicking myself! Pre-order yours now HERE

Layla Hologram Nail Polish Swatch & Review Ocean Rush

Hey Lovelies!
So I picked up 2 Layla hologram polishes, 1 in Ocean Rush, and 1 in Mermaid Spell.  I paid $12 a bottle and have seen them sold for $15 a bottle, not cheap stuff!  Today I will show you Ocean Rush...

Actually it looks like I'm holding Mermaid Spell in this photo, lol oopsie.  The nails are Ocean Rush!

The holo is strong and vibrant

This is 4 thin coats on bare nails.  Even at 4 coats it's patchy! I see bald spots real bad especially in the shade.  You cannot put this over a base coat, I tried and it swam all over the nail bed. Layla sells a buffer that you are supposed to use before this polish, I figured I could get away with using buffers I already own. Last time I buffed was about a week ago, I probably should have done it immediately prior to application, maybe that would have helped. Either way, this polish has awful application!!!  But the holo these polishes give are pretty fantastic. 

I love this medium blue shade too. Just wish they were half the price.

One last shot of Layla Ocean Rush

Overall I am happy I have these but I doubt I will repurchase others. Color Club is half the price for a great holo with good application, Dance Legend polishes are the same price but with amazing consistency. And then there are so many amazing Indie brands such as Colors by Llarowe, Nail Nation 3000, and Literary Lacquers (just to name a few) where we can find amazing holos with much better application... no balding after 4 coats!
