SHOPLVX WINTER RESORT COLLECTION SWATCH & REVIEW

Hello Lovelies! I hope you guys are having a good weekend so far :) 

I'm excited to share with you guys the new Winter Resort Collection from ShopLVX!! This Collection consists of 6 beautiful polishes which are all lovely for this Winter Season.

**These polishes were sent to me for review. Please see my Disclosure Policy listed in the tabs above.**




Up first is Cirque, a beautiful, bold rose pink. The formula is absolutely amazing! As always! ShopLVX polishes continue to impress me ;)

1 coat was almost completely opaque, 2 was perfect. I personally think this is a stunning pink for winter! And it's now my go-to color to wear on my toes :P (Trust me, it's beautiful!).




Saint is probably my most favorite from this Collection. I think it looks like a nude lavender...if that even makes sense. But ShopLVX describes it as a delicate mauve.

This is another polish that could almost be opaque with 1 coat, but 2 covers completely.




Lait is a beautiful ivory white. I love this color a lot, but this polish needs at least 3 (sometimes 4) coats to be completely opaque, which kind of sucks to be honest. When I need a white I like 2 coats at most (I don't have the patience to wait for 3 coats of polish to dry :P). Nonetheless, it's still a beautiful polish.




This is a very unique color for a Winter Collection...regardless, I really enjoyed it. This polish is called Jade, which ShopLVX describes it as 'Intrepid Sea Green'. 

The opacity is the same as the first 2 polishes. Mostly opaque with 1 coat, completely opaque with 2.




Bordeaux is another one of my favorites! This stunning crimson red is bold and sultry and just gorgeous! I love to wear this color! And the thing I really like about this polish in particular is that it's more of a deep red, as opposed to a brighter shade. I think it may have some purple undertones.

Again, could be opaque in 1 coat, I used 2.




And last up, the only non-cream polish. This is Malbec, a beautiful metallic violet with undertones of crimson and magenta. I think this polish rounds out this collection quite well. Opaque in 2 coats.

So there you have it! This Collection is stunning, beautiful, bold and sultry! I think these shades are perfect for Winter and quite perfect as a stocking stuffer! (Hint, hint! ;) lol).

As I mentioned earlier, ShopLVX continues to impress me with their polishes! The formula is amazing, the apply really well and their shades are all to die for!

If you would like these polishes, or you need a link to send someone so they can buy them for you for Christmas ;P you can find them here:

JIOR COUTURE WINTER HOLIDAY COLLECTION SWATCH & REVIEW

Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are staying safe through this crazy shopping weekend ;)

Today I have some STUNNING polishes to share with you from Jior Couture's new Winter Holiday Collection. This collection is super fun because no 2 polishes are the same. This Collection is made up of 6 polishes, a Flakie, a Cream, a Glitter (that glows in the dark), a Holo, a Jelly/Glitter and a Holo/Shimmer.

**These polishes were sent to me for review. Please see my Disclosure Policy listed in the tabs above.**




Up first is Fireplace Cuddling a beautiful red/gold flakie. This polish is seriously SO GORGEOUS!! I love it! The application was amazing, mostly opaque in 1 coat, 2 was perfect. I know for sure I will be wearing this color a lot this Winter! ;) 




Cozy Comforter is a stunning wine colored purple. The formula for this was so rich and creamy (insert googly eyes here lol) As you can tell this is the cream polish. It was almost opaque with only 1 coat, but it did need 2.




This glitter is so fun! (BTW if you follow me on Instagram you can see this glitter Glow in the Dark!). This is Bright Lights a fun multi-colored glitter. I was really impressed with this glitter because the application was easy and I didn't have to do any glitter placement. Shown is 1 coat over Cozy Comforter.




(Here is me falling on the floor!) This polish is so beautiful!! Holo and blue!? Yes please!! This is Breath in the Air and I applied it with only 1 coat! The application was smooth and even, the opacity is perfect...obviously! I just love it!




Faux or Real is a fun Glitter/Crelly. I was loving this color while I was wearing it! ...believe it or not, in my 600+ polish collection I don't believe I have a green this shade. That's wrong! Anyway, this polish surprised me. I'm not the biggest fan of crelly polishes on myself because they don't apply as easily (in my own opinion) as other polishes do. But this one applied so well. The first coat was a little sheer, but the opacity built up pretty well by the second coat. I applied 3 for full coverage and more glitters and finished it off with a topcoat.




And last up is a stunning Holo/Shimmer! This is All the New which had the same application as the other holo. It was a 1 coater! And I absolutely LOVE the red glitters scattered in the polish. It makes this polish stand out from other gold holo polishes.

So there you have it! I think you all NEED this Collection! It has everything :) and I continue to be so impressed with Jior Couture!! If I could only recommend 1 Indie Brand to anyone, this would be it. 

These polishes went on sale today! So make sure to head over to http://www.jiorcouture.com to grab them for yourself! :)

DOCTOR LACQUER JINGLE X3 COLLECTION - 5 THERMAL GLITTER CRELLIES

Good evening Lovelies! Tonight I have some fun Thermal Glitter Crellies to share with you from Doctor Lacquer's new Jingle X3 Collection! This Collection is complete with 10 polishes...5 Thermal Glitter Crellies (which I'll be sharing with you), 3 White Glitter Crellies and 2 Glitter Toppers. Each polish is based off of Characters from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, which makes this collection extra fun ;) 

**These polishes were sent to me for review. Please see my Disclosure Policy listed in the tabs above.**




Up first is my personal favorite! This is My Nose Glows, and (HOPEFULLY) we all know who this polish is inspired by ;P This beautiful thermal polish is taupe when warm and changes from a mauve to red when super cold. The application was wonderful! 2 coats was mostly opaque, I applied 3 and no topcoat.




My next favorite :) Beyond the Stars (can you guess who this polish is inspired by?). This beautiful pink thermal is inspired by the cute girl reindeer, Clarice. It changes from a light pink to a magenta when cold. At first I wasn't too sure about the big circle glitters, but once I applied topcoat I decided I did really like them :) 2 coats was mostly opaque, but I applied 3 for extra coverage and more glitters!




The Most Wonderful Day of the Year is inspired by the Misfit Toys and the Christmas Tree. The thermal base turns from a very light green when warm, to more of a dark green when cold. The application is identical to the other 2 polishes. 2 coats is mostly opaque but 3 is perfect for coverage and lots of fun glitters :)




Remember Hermey the Elf? This polish is inspired by him. This is To be a Dentist which is a pale yellow when warm and changes to a brighter yellow when cold. Application is consistent with the above polishes.




And last up, this polish is based off of the crazy and fun Yukon Cornelius. This thermal base changes from a butter yellow when warm to more of an orange-yellow when cold. Application consistent with the above polishes.


Unfortunately for me this was the only polish I could get to change color (photo of the color change above)...I don't think that I could get my water cold enough. I know that these polishes do change color because some of the other bloggers were able to get them to change, but for some reason I had a difficult time with it. 

If you would like to see the color changes and the other polishes that are part of this collection, make sure to head over to Doctor Lacquer's Facebook, Instagram or go straight to her store where you can purchase these fun polishes for yourself! They went on sale yesterday afternoon, and now that I've shared them with you I really want to go watch the movie :P ...yes, I know it's not Christmas yet, but still lol.
