Lemming Lacquer The Vagantem Damnatorum Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I have swatches of Lemming Lacquer's Halloween Collection: The Vagantem Damnatorum, which is Latin for the wandering damned.  This collection takes it's inspiration from many things such as American Horror Story: Freak Show and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.  Each polish represents a character and each character has it's own story and when you order, you get a character card telling you all about the creepy inspiration behind the polish.  It's so much fun!

Twinsie Tuesday - Revisit

Hi everyone! Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is Revisit, so all us twinsies are going back to themes past that we haven't participated in and revisiting the theme.  I'm choosing a theme from before my time as a twinsie: First Polish Posted on Your Blog.  (Insert Xzibit "Yo Dawg" meme about revisiting here.)  I thought I'd do this theme since I recently had my 5th year Blogiversary (June 6th) and just let it pass by without really acknowledging it.

And now I present to you OPI DS Glow.  It's a beautiful shimmery polish with bits of bronze, copper and gold.  I used 2 coats.  I'm not sure if it's discontinued, but it's pretty easily available online.

And if you'd like to check out how far I've come since starting this blog, check out the original post!

Pahlish February Duo - You Give Love!

Press Sample

This week has been a Pahlish kind of week!  Today I have the February duo called You Give Love.  I have to say I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them in the bottle.

Angel's Smile is a beautiful beige/off white nude with gold and copper metallic micro flakies.  I've been buying nudes left and right lately and this one is right up my alley.  The formula on this is perfect.  This is 2 coats.

The second half of the duo is Shot Through the Heart.  This one is a topper with gold, copper, and a sprinkling of green and purple metallic micro flakies along with some holo.  I'm loving how Pahlish has been using these flakies!  Here is 1 coat over Angel's Smile.

Barielle Jetsetter Collection for Fall/Winter 2014

Press Sample

About a month ago, I showed you swatches of Barielle's Me Couture Collection that they released for the Fall/Winter season.  Today I have another called the Jetsetter Collection that they have also released for Fall/Winter.  Jetsetter has 4 cremes and 2 shimmers.  Lets get to the review!

First up is Gondola Ride, a gorgeous sage green.  It reminds me of a lighter version of OPI's Uh Oh Roll Down the Window.  Application was nice, but it didn't self level  as well as I'd like.  It's fine once it's top coated.  This is 2 coats.

Rain in Spain is a pale bluish lavender color.  I love this one as well.  Applied nicely.  This is 2 coats.

Kiss Me Kate is a pinkish tan nude.  It pulled very pink on me.  I think this may now be my go to nude!  This applied very well.  This is 2 coats.

Irish Eyes is another green in this collection.  This one is a bit of a dusty moss green.  No application complaints.  This is 2 coats.

Midnight in Paris is the first shimmer of the collection.  This is a deep, dark blue with blue/blurple shimmer.  This pulls a bit more purple in real life.  Nice application.  This is 2 coats.

And last but not least, is Autumn in Seoul.  This one is a bronze, gold, copper shimmer.  No complaints about application.  This is 2 coats.

Over all this is a nice little collection.  True to Barielle form, application on these were very nice.  Although I used 2 coats for these pictures, almost all, except Autumn in Seoul, could be nice and opaque in 1 thick coat.  My favorites are Kiss Me Kate, Rain in Spain and Irish Eyes.

Barielle can be purchased from Barielle.com and retail for $8.00 USD.

A Few Barielle Swatches

Press Sample

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Today I have a few polishes from Barielle to show you, some of which I've been eyeing for what seems like forever!  Let's get to it!

First, I have Sweet Addiction.  This one is a pretty green-blue cream.  I wouldn't quite call it turquoise or teal, it's a little too green to be either.  The formula was good and it's so pigmented, it was almost a one coater.

This is 2 coats.

Nest I have Falling Star.  Goodness, this polish is gorgeous!  I had to wear this for a few days after swatching and I couldn't stop looking.  This one is a medium blue cream with lots of copper glitter in it.  Even with all the indies out there, this one still remains unique.  I can't think of another polish like it!  This one also went on very nicely.

This is 2 coats.

Last but not least is Elle's Spell.  This one caused a stir when it first came out with it's jelly red base and iridescent flakie glitter.  This works well alone, or layered over a red or black polish.  Here it's shown alone.  This was a bit thick but nothing crazy.

This is 3 coats.

I love all of these, but if you don't have Falling Star in your collection, you need it like yesterday!
