Normally, when it comes to Sportsball, this is me:

However...there is only one time I am actually supportive and pay attention, and that's when the Seahawks are playing - especially when they are playing against a team that almost my entire family on my husband's side supports.

Hehehehehehehe...... *insert devilish grin here*

Alright, enough Sportsball - onto polish!  I've got swatches of one of the two new Halloween collections released by Sassy Polish & Scrubs!  This collection is called Fright Night in Wonderland and there are 6 polishes in total.

Note: For all of the photos, I am using a basecoat of OPI's Nail Envy and a quick-dry topcoat by Frenzy Polish.

We'll start with "Axe Murderer Alice:"

Axe Murderer Alice is a lovely royal blue jelly full of red, white, and black microglitters, as well as a scattered holographic effect.  Shown above in 3 thin coats.

Next up is "Ghostly Cheshire Grin:"

Ghostly Cheshire Grin is a steel grey/blue subtle duochrome with a scattered holographic effect and a purple/teal/fuchsia shift.  Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Next is "Queen of Ripping Out Hearts:"

Queen of Ripping Out Hearts is a deep red jelly packed with a gold shimmer, scattered holo, and red, black, and white micro glitters.  Shown above is 3 thin coats.

Here we have "Terrifying Tweedle Twins:"

Terrifying Tweedle Twins is a bright neon green/yellow (depends on your lighting) filled with yellow red micro glitters and a scattered holographic effect.  Shown above is 2 thin coats.

This is "White Rabbit Witchcraft:"

White Rabbit Witchcraft is a white/grey creme with black and blue microglitters, white shimmer, and a subtle holographic effect.  Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Lastly is "Zombified Hatter:"

Zombified Hatter is a grey/dark green shifting (depends on lighting) polish with purple micro glitters and a subtle holographic shimmer.  Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Overall, this collection is really fun and quite clever!  Sometimes I noticed I had a bit more of a textured finish due to the microglitters (like with Terrifying Tweedle Twins), but with a good thick topcoat like Pahlish's Magic Mirror would have smoothed things over just fine.  

You can purchase the full collection HERE at $50.00 for the 15ml full size - 5ml mini sizes are also available individually on the website.  And here are some social links for you:

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend so far!  I got to start mine off with some board breaking in taekwondo - it was awesome! :D  I broke three boards, only one of them took two tries ^_^

I wanted to show you some awesome Animal House themed polishes released a few weeks back by Sassy Polish and Scrubs.

There are a total of 9 polishes in the set, from thermals to sun reactives and glitter bombs!  I have 6 of those 9 to show you today!

Let's start with "7 Years of College:"

7 Years of College is beautiful teal color with a subtle holographic effect.  It applied smoothly and evenly, opaque in 2 coats and dry in about 5 minutes.

Next up is "Flounder's 10,000 Marbles:"

Flounder's 10,000 Marbles is a glitter topper packed with various sized round glitters and a holographic shimmer.  This also applied very smoothly with minimal clumping and was dry in under 5 minutes.  It is shown in one coat over a black base in the photos above.

Next up is "Toga! Toga!"

Toga! Toga! is a sparkly white jelly with iridescent bar glitters.  This applied a little thicker but still smoothly, and was still not quite opaque with 3 coats - so if you have a problem with VNL, I'd wear either a nude or white base color before applying this color.

Next is the sun reactive "Thank U, Sir, May I Have Another?"

 Indoors

 Outdoors

Top: Outdoors, Bottom: Indoors

Thank U, Sir, May I Have Another is a light silver/blue color with blue glitters and a holo shimmer throughout.  This polish transforms to a dark blue color in the sunlight.  It applies evenly, but again would require a base coat of a solid polish color if you want it to be completely opaque.  This polish also dries in under 5 minutes.

Next is another sun reactive "Oh Boy, This Is Great!"

 Indoors

 Outdoors

Top: Indoors, Bottom: Outdoors

Oh Boy, This Is Great! is a very light pink/purple jelly with a subtle holographic shimmer that deepens to a darker pink/purple in the sunlight.  This is a very sheer polish and would most definitely require a base color to be completely opaque.  It applied smoothly and dried in under 5 minutes.

Last up is a bonus polish you receive when you purchase the full collection, and it is called, "Double Secret Probation:"

Double Secret Probation is a gorgeous shimmer polish with a holographic dusting and LOTS of sparkle!  This would look best over a solid colored polish.  Application was very smooth and even, and it dried in under 5 minutes.  Definitely a stunner, and definitely my favorite of the bunch!

The Ups:  If you're an Animal House lover, these polishes are just right for you!  I think they're an excellent reflection of the parts of the film for which they are named, and they're an overall fun set of polishes with lots of different effects and finishes!

The Downs:  Most of the polishes are thin and sheer, so you would need a base color if you have a problem with Visible Nail Line.  This *could* be an irritation for some.  Also, the sun reactives weren't too terribly powerful, but were enough to make a fun change in the sunlight!

Overall:  The Animal House collection is a lot of fun!  The creator put great effort into these, and it's such an awesome eclectic bunch of polishes. 

You can find the full collection here, and there is a separate listing for the full collection in mini size here

So what do you think of the collection?  Do you have a favorite?  Have you seen Animal House, and if so do you like the polishes' representation of the film?

Polish Post: Sassy Polish "Frolicking Fairies," "Candy Clouds," & "Crazy Eyes" Swatches and Review

Well I am back home, safe and sound from my outing :)  Had a lovely time, but it's good to see my boys again ^_^

Sorry for the absence of a post yesterday, I was busy packing, checking out of my hotel, checking in for my flight, and finding my gate in the large airport - and dealing with security thinking my gouda cheese was some sort of weapon.

Since I had no time to do nail art (nor did I pack tools and supplies to do any), instead of another Princess/Villain set I have a fairly new indie polish brand to share with you called Sassy Polish & Scrubs.  I recently purchased a few of polishes by the brand, three of which I am showing you today!
First up - "Frolicking Fairies:"

Outdoors

Indoors

Frolicking Fairies is a medium blue with lots of purple, white, silver, pinkish, and blue glitters - at least from what I saw :P  The formula is a bit thick (I suspect because it's gotta hold all that glitter), but the color is still a bit thinner.  I used three coats in the picture, though you can still see the whites of my nails - 4 coats ought to make it fully opaque, but it will be thick.  Drying time was under 5 minutes, and the polish dried to a semi shiny finish.  It's a really pretty blue color, and I like that it's more on the subtle side, even with all the glitter.  It sparkles very well in the sun without being "loud" about it.  If you're looking for a pretty, more modest sparkly blue polish, this one is the way to go!  I love the little matching polish ring she included, too ^_^

The second polish is called, "Candy Clouds:"

 Outdoors

Indoors

Candy Clouds is a really pretty pearly white with lots of little purple, blue, green, and silvery glitters.  This polish would look gorgeous in one thin coat underneath matte white French tips :)  Candy Clouds also seems to have the same type of formula and application as Frolicking Fairies.  I am again wearing three coats in the pictures.

Last up is my favorite of the bunch - "Crazy Eyes:"

Outdoors

Indoors

Crazy Eyes is based off the character "Crazy Eyes" from the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black.  The polish is a beautiful plum purple with a linear holographic effect in the sunlight.  The formula was thinner with this polish than the others, so it was a lot easier to work with.  Three coats made it fully opaque, and it dried to a lovely shiny finish in under 5 minutes.  There was no staining around the cuticles, either, which is also really nice.  The color is beautiful in sunlight with that holographic effect, and a really rich color indoors.  I really like it :)

Overall, I'd say my experience with the polish is pretty good, especially considering this brand is still fairly new.  I will be keeping the brand on my radar for future purchases for sure :)
