Nail Nation 3000 Nail Polish Swatches!

I had 4 orders arrive today, the motherlode was my Nail Nation 3000 orders, yes orders! LOL  I'm not going to review them much as they are all great! But here's the swatches of polish colors minus 1 as I only have 10 nails, but I'll add the last polish shortly. You can read about the colors and shop her store HERE  I did 3 thinnish coats on all. Ok, let's get down to business...

From left to right as pictured... Eleonora, Mozelle, Dancing In The Sky, Holo Dreams
Yes they do all look alike!  They looked different on the site, LOL. There are subtle differences as described on her site, and I went from lightest to darkest here.

I love them all, and am happy I got them. If I could only have 1 I think I would go with Mozelle... the rainbow holo attracts me most.

Up next we have...
So Your Igloo Or Mine?
Love this Holo Duo chrome!

Next up we have....

From left to right as pictured...So Guess What, Passionate, Beautimous Maximus, and Forever & Ever Amen
Another shot.  I love them all but if I could only choose 1 it would be Beautimous Maximus.  The holo on So guess What is GORGEOUS but is thinner/sheerer than the other polishes.

And here we have...
Spellbound
 It's a very greyed plum and the only dark polish I bought.

Lacquerhead Polish Haul Review & Swatches

Whoo Hooo do I have a haul for you!!  I picked up 5 full size polishes and was gifted a mini and a cuticle oil from Lacquerhead Polish. You can check out her Etsy store HERE. They came swiftly, and I adore the bows on the bottles!  Lots to share so let's get started.  Here's the haul...

We're gonna start off with...
Fairy Frosting!
Fairy Frosting is a white shimmer polish that puts off a red glow and goes on an almost antique white! I love this polish, it's opaque in 3 coats and is quite unique.  3 coats with one coat of top coat

Next up is...
Mixed Signals!
This is before Mixed Signals.
Before Mixed Signals
After Mixed Signals
Before Mixed signals
After Mixed Signals. Mixed Signals is a duo chrome that works as a top coat layered over another darker polish. Can be worn alone in 2-3 coats.  Shifts from pink to blue to purple and red. It really transforms any polish!  I put 2 coats of Mixed Signals over each painted nail. I especially love this over blues and purples.  This one is going to be so fun to play with!

Next up is
Talk Nerdy To Me! 2 coats dabbed over Fairy Frosting
2 coats over Mixed Signals
2 coats over Zed's Dead Baby
Talk Nerdy To Me (Special SALE price on this NOW) is a complete glitter bomb! Mainly based with black and white it also has a unique assortment of metallic, holo and black star glitters! Looks great over any color!! No fishing for glitters necessary as this baby is packin'!
 
Next we have...
She's A Star!
2 coats dabbed on over Fairy Frosting
No fishing for glitters necessary!  Once again (see older posts) I have an unintentional double star! I've decided I love double stars as it reminds me of Hello Kitty's buddies Little Twin Stars, it's a sign of good luck is my wishful thinking. ;)
 
2 coats over Zed's  Dead Baby
2 coats over light pink and light lilac shades
She's A Star (Special SALE price on this NOW) is a girly glitter bomb made up of white, pink and purple glitters with hot pink and purple stars scattered throughout.
 
Next we have...
Zed's Dead Baby!
3 coats of Zed's Dead Baby with topcoat
Zed's Dead Baby is a deep blue mica polish with a ultra fine holographic pigment. Full coverage in 2 to 3 coats.  I do thin coats rather than thick ones though. The color reminds of blue denim. I really love it and I'm a sucker for holograph polishes!
 
Next up is...
Pleasure Town
3 coats with a top coat
Pleasure Town is a pale pink crelly with a girly mix of pink, purple and blue glitters loaded with stars and white dots
I absolutely love this polish. The glitter isn't strong, it gets subdued by the beautiful pink crelly, which makes this polish wearable and less juvenile. Applies beautifully. LOVE
 
Last item is..
Nourishing cuticle oil!
I am so crazy about this wonderful freebie I got, I have used it on my family and they love it too.  It's a good size rollerball.  I got to choose my own scent and I went with Buttercream Frosting.  OMG soooo yummy! I have an incurable sweet tooth and love sweet scents so this really makes me happy. I love the rollerball application.  The oils are premium grade oils meant for use on the body. You can also use it for rough elbows and dry hands. The oils she uses are for nourishing and strengthening properties, Vitamin E and only premium cosmetic grade fragrance is used.
Each bottle contains Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Vitamin E and cosmetic grade fragrance 10 ml. roller bottle, only $5 and she has 15 different fragrances! I'm in Love with Buttercream Frosting though :)
Nail polish prices range from $3.50 for mini's to $10 for a Holographic polish, she has FULL SIZE polishes on sale now for $5.75

LynBDesigns Nail Polish Review & Swatches

I received my order of 5 polishes from LynBDesigns today, you can check out here Etsy shop HERE
I chose 4 glitters and 1 holographic. I need more!  I'm really pleased with everything I bought.  Ok lots to swatch so let's get started...
This is Nightmare Revisited, a brilliant fuchsia raspberry jelly linear holographic polish, this is 3 coats.
Dries shiny and smooth
Rich, beautiful color
Look at that holo! So much better in person, and this is indoors, can u imagine when the sun hits it!?!

Now we have Tear Away Face, it's all circle glitters in shades of purple and yellow.
I have 2 coats here over a light mint colored polish, can't wait to put this over other colors!
No fishing for glitter at all, loaded with it!

Now here is Old-Fashion Villain, a clear based glitter bomb that has everything in it. There are hearts, flowers, diamonds, hexes, micro glitters, holos, squares.
This is 2 coats over a medium bright blue shade
I got a flower and a heart without even trying.  Really fun and I can't wait to try this over lots of other colors.

Next up is Miracle Max, a glitter topped packed with white stars, hearts and hexes, and tons of different iridescent glitters.
I didn't realize until I looked at this pic that I had 2 stars kind of doubled up, but that is how filled with glitter this is, 3 stars and a heart on one nail, with 2 coats, no fishing.
This is over a dark purple color, this polish will look fantastic over practically every color, it's that easily wearable.
So pretty and ethereal looking
This is 2 coats of Miracle Max over a medium Lavender color

Next up we have Start With the Riding Crop, it's a black jelly base loaded with any and all kinds of silver holo glitters.
This is 2 coats over black polish, Love it, it looks better in person, super cool!
It looks very solar system ish :)

So after doing swatches all night long, I decided to do a full mani that I intend to wear for several days, and I chose...

Treasures by Tan Holographic Nail Polish Swatches & Review

Hello Lovelies!
I got 2 of my orders today of polishes I bought from Etsy, and I will be showing you Treasures by Tan Holographic polish swatches today, and a glitter topper. You can shop Treasures by Tan here:https://www.etsy.com/shop/TreasuresByTan
I purchased a total of 6 polishes, which arrived incredibly fast. I will be starting with the 4 Holographic colors. Her holographic polishes are made with grade 35 spectraflair, which promises a beautiful rainbow of sparks and shifts in the color. All the polishes apply easily and smoothly, full coverage in 3 coats, and dry down smooth and shiny!


From left to right we have "Sand dunes", "Ocean mist", "Purple Nurple", & "Blackout".
Notice the cute butterfly labels on the bottles. You are looking looking at 3 coats.  Actually 4 on the sand dunes and blackout, because I smudged them. Oops.


Sand dunes is gorgeous, not nearly as gold in person as it shows here, that's the 35 grade spectraflair holo giving off that golden glow!


And here's another shot of Sand Dunes

Up next is Ocean Mist
A gorgeous teal, nice blue green
Here's another shot of Ocean Mist
Up next we have Purple Nurple
This color is much darker in person, like a blackened purple.  But when that light hits it you get that bang of bright holo
And here's one more shot of Purple Nurple

Last but not least is Blackout
Harder to catch the holo indoors on my camera for you
And one more

The other holographic polish I bought from Treasures by Tan is a holographic top coat called Oasis
You just coat this over any polish and it transforms it into a holographic polish! I used 2 coats
OPI Sweet Memories 2 coats

With Treasures by Tan Oasis top coat
Sinful Colors Mint Apple 2 coats

Wet n Wild On a Trip 2 coats

Not anymore now that I have 2 coats of Oasis Spectraflair Top Coat!!

Now for the glitter topper!  This is called Argyle, and has grey, pink, and aqua glitter in a clear base.
Here is Argyle over Ocean Mist 2 coats
