Polished by KPT: Blue is Beautiful

Polished by KPT: 
Blue is Beautiful


Hello fellow viewers! Today I am reviewing a polish called Blue is Beautiful by: Polished by KPT. It is a gorgeous dark blue thermal that turns to a grayish white shade when warm. It has beautiful holographic tints along with shiny blue bits. I did 2 coats of a white undie, 3 coats of Blue is Beautiful, and top coat.


I used Sinful Colors: Snow Me White as an undertone for Blue is Beautiful. Snow Me White is so far my favorite white polish to use. It helps from hard to remove polish to stick onto my nails. I do also use a clear base coat, but sometimes certain colors still go through and stain. This polish however; I had no problems with it staining. 


For a top coat I used Rica's Glossy Glam top coat. Only had to do one coat. Helps apply a great shine and gloss to this polish. Blue is Beautiful does dry matte, so if you love the gloss look more, be sure to have a nice gloss top coat. 


Below shows Blue is Beautiful going through its transition. It turns to a grayish blue color. It all depends on the color you use underneath. You can use the polish on its own, but it may take 3-4 coats to build opacity. 

Below shows more of the transition of Blue is Beautiful. It turns completely white/gray when under hot temperatures. If your body temperature is just at warm you may get that ombre effect; which is when the nail tips are still cold but the rest changes according to your body temperature.  


Overall, I love the polish. My only complaint is it needs some nail polish thinner. It may have just been the batch mine came from, but it was quite thick and not easy to paint with. Other than that, I love the color. Blue certainly is beautiful! :) 

Provided below are the websites in which you can purchase the indies I had mentioned. Happy Shopping! ^.^

Sindie POP! Lacquer: Lavender Storm and Dark Side

Sindie POP! Lacquer:

Lavender Storm and Dark Side


Hello everyone! Today on my blog I am reviewing two Sindie POP! Lacquers; Lavender Storm and Dark Side. 

Lavender Storm is a beautiful lavender purple based polish flowing with all sorts sized turquoise and blue glitter. It's a definite glitter bomb!


Below is a close up so you can see how nicely the glitter sits on my nails. Jessica; the owner/maker of Sindie POP! loves putting hearts on her labels. She makes sure to always put love and care into every polish before and after they are made and packaged to their new homes. :) 


Below is my manicure using natural sunlight as my lighting for this photo. I love how the glitter shines in the sun! I used 3 coats to build opacity and Rica's Glossy Glam top coat to help seal the glitter. You want to use a good top coat for these glitter bombs or else you may lose your good manicure. I recommend using Rica's Glossy Glam or HK Girl top coat. Links to these top coats are on the bottom of this blog post. 


I like to show what a difference natural sunlight photo shots look like compared to using flash. The photo below shows on the left side Lavender Storm using flash, and on the right is natural sunlight. The polish is more true on the right side. 


I did the same thing with the photos below as I did above. Left photo shows Lavender Storm with flash and right photo is in natural sunlight. 


Next up is Dark Side. It's a gorgeous black based polish with tiny galaxy like glitter. This polish is perfect for doing galaxy nails with the orange, blue, purple, green, and silver glitter. 


Below is a photo of my manicure using 3 coats of Dark Side and one coat of Rica's Glossy Glam top coat; which is pictured in the photo. 



You can see Glossy Glam doing her thing; shinning my nails. She also dries fast too which is great for me! I'm always doing something, so need a fast dry top coat! All I used for lighting in these photos was my desk lamp; which worked perfectly to show the gloss finish and the true colors of Dark Side. 



Overall, I love these polishes and all others in my Sindie POP! Lacquer collection! She never disappoints! So check them out as well as Rica's Glossy Glam and HK Girl by Glisten & Glow.

Liquid Sky Lacquer: Twilight Peacock and Mystical Peacock

Liquid Sky Lacquer: 
Twilight Peacock and Mystical Peacock

Hello viewers! Today I am reviewing a new brand of indie polishes I never tried before; Liquid Sky Lacquer by Carolyn. I have here from her many polishes from her line, Mystical Peacock and Twilight Peacock. They are duo chrome polishes. They both look blue or purple depending on the light with orange goldish tints except Twilight Peacock has holographic pigment mixed in. 


 My mani below shows all my nails painted with Twilight Peacock except for my ring finger. I painted that finger using Mystical Peacock. It took 2 coats to build opacity, but used a 3rd to just be sure it was solid. I did also use a top coat; which is Glisten & Glow's HK Girl Top Coat. I have mentioned it before in previous posts. I highly recommend trying it out, it's a great top coat!


Below you can definitely see the holo of Twilight Peacock when I used my flash on my iPhone 5s. 


Do I think the holo version is better than just the duo chrome? I love both, couldn't make up my mind which one to use or purchase, but I do love holo! I still can't get enough of the holo polishes. Duo chrome is making its way to the next popular thing to have on your nails. 


Do you have a favorite kind of polish? I'd like to hear from my viewers. 

Attached below are websites where you can purchase these polishes mentioned above.

Disturbed Potions: Boobies Rule & Sluts Go Nuts

Disturbed Potions

Boobies Rule & Sluts Go Nuts


Tiffany here with a new blog post today! YAY! Today I'm reviewing Disturbed Potions by a lovely individual; Margaret. She makes polishes, body lotions, bath salts, soaps, lip balms, and more! She does give some of her items disturbing names; hence the name of her brand. I love her products and the names she gives them, so I am not bothered by it at all. 

From her many polishes she has I am reviewing "Boobies Rule" and "Sluts Go Nuts". Boobies Rule is a gorgeous bubble gum hot pink shade with big white circle glitter and small pink and white circle glitter. It's one of her new releases; which I was excited to get my hands on! 


Below you can see I used HK Girl Top Coat. It is also an indie brand polish made by Glisten and Glow. I have attached the website at the very bottom of my post. It is an awesome Top Coat and I recommend trying it out. It helped seal in the glitter, smoothed it out evenly, dried super fast and lasts for up to a week! For more information on it, check the website. 



Below is Sluts Go Nuts. It is a beautiful glitter packed polish in a clear base. She had mixed in four different glitters to get this final look, and it is awesome! 


Below is my mani using Sluts Go Nuts over a lavender glow in the dark polish called LOVEnder by Polish Me To Go; which is also by an indie polish maker, and the black polish is called Liquid Leather by China Glaze. I love the space look it gives over the black. It also gives life and fun to a plain solid polish. 


Just like Boobies Rule, I used HK Girl Top Coat to seal the glitter in this polish as well. The left photo is with flash and the right photo is in natural sunlight. 


Overall, I love how both manis came out and I love all the polishes I used. Check these ladies websites out if you support indie polish makers and indie product makers. You will not be disappointed by them.
