The Untried Challenge: MyStash Lacquer

Well yesterday was a real stinker - was finally getting ahead of the game with polish swatches and nail art, and my camera decided to erase all of those photos from the memory card before I had them transferred over...

I think I need a new camera.

Fortunately, I was able to re-do today's Untried challenge polishes that come from the brand My-Stash Lacquer just in time!

The first polish is called Cruisin' the PCH:

Direct Sunlight

Indoors

I have to admit, this is not a color I typically look for when polish shopping.  What got me was the gorgeous metallic shimmer and shine to it!  It's absolutely divine!  It applies very smoothly and isn't too thick.  I'm wearing two coats in the photos, and while you can still see some nail line underneath, one more coat of polish ought to make it opaque.  It dried in about 5 minutes to a shiny finish, but I added a clear topcoat to help bring out that shine!

The other polish is called Holo! Wait A Minute!

Direct Sunlight

Indoors

This one I chose because it looked like an eye-catching glitter topper - and it didn't let me down :)  Definitely sparkles something fierce!  The site describes it as a lavender color, though it actually looks a little more rosy pink to me.  When applying, the glitter spread out nice and evenly and wasn't too thick.  I am wearing one coat over Cruisin' the PCH on my pointer and pinky, and added a quick accent to the tips of my middle and ring finger, and thumb.  I think the two polishes complement each other nicely don't you?  :)

Nice to have another two polishes checked off my Untried list!  Next post I'll have some nail art for you - it's been a while, I think :)  See you soon <3

*Press Release*: Gothic Gala Lacquers New Doctor Who Polishes

***PRESS RELEASE***

Gonna make this a brief post today :) I'm still trying to get over whatever virus decided I needed to be sick again - you know, after I finally got over whatever that last nasty was.  Ah, life!

I wanted to show you three gorgeous new polishes just released by Gothic Gala Lacquers, all Doctor Who themed!  Since I am a new Whovian, I very much fell in love with these polishes as soon as I unboxed them :D  

We'll start with a polish that is particularly fun for me, as it is based off one of my favorite little characters in the show so far.  This polish is called Adipose:

Direct Sunlight 

Indoors

Adipose is a lovely cream colored polish with a pearly shine and a light brown shimmer.  Opaque in 3 thin coats, it applied very smoothly and dried in under 5 minutes to a nice shine.  Here is the character that inspired the polish:

Next up is an awesome thermal nail polish called "All of Time and Space:"

Direct Sunlight 

Indoors

Cold State

All of Time and Space is packed with beautiful multi-colored flakies and changes from a soft grey color to a dark grey/black when cold.  Opaque in 3 thin coats, this polish dried to a semi-textured finish in under five minutes.  I added a clear topcoat in the photos above.  To achieve the cold state I dunked my fingers in ice water (thus why they look wet in the photos :D ).  

And last but certainly not least is "Smaller on the Outside:"

Direct Sunlight

Indoors

Smaller on the Outside is a gorgeous blue jelly packed with various sized glitters and flakies.  It is absolutely stunning in person, and the flakes/glitter add fantastic depth to the polish.  I am wearing 3 thin coats in the photos and you can still see some nail line - I'd imagine a few more coats may bring it to opacity, or you can layer it over a white/cream colored polish.  Smaller on the Outside dried in under five minutes to a beautiful shiny finish, as seen in the photos above.  

As I said before, all these fantastic polishes are available now for purchase!  You don't have to be a Who fan to appreciate how beautiful these polishes are :D  Here are some links for you:

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day!  See you soon <3

*NOTE: These polishes were sent to me for swatch photos.  My opinion is still 100% honest and in no way swayed.

The Untried Challenge: Polish Me Silly

Today is my brother's birthday!  I got to spend the morning with him hiking South Mountain ^_^  Now I have to spend the rest of the day getting chores done and taking advantage of the kid-free house (thank you, free babysitters - a.k.a. grandparents!).  But before I get to my duties, let me tell you about the fabulous polish I have to show you today!

The next polish I picked at random from my Untried Stash is by Polish Me Silly and is called "Guilty Pleasure."  It is a glorious multichrome, and I'm not really gonna say much else - I'm gonna let the pictures tell it all:

I love love LOVE the deep purply blue that is the main shade, and all those color shifts?!  Wowza!!  With regards to formula, this polish is spot on - applies very smoothly, opaque in two coats, and dries in under five minutes to a lovely shiny finish.  I have zero qualms with this polish, and looks like I have another hit from my untrieds!

What do you think of this polish?  Are you a fan of chromes and all their shifting glory? :D

See you soon <3
