Super Natural Lacquer

Super Natural Lacquer:
Partly Cloudy

Hello everyone! This is a late night/early morning blog post, depending when you view it or where you are located. :D I Was busy with school work so did not have the chance to finish and post this earlier. 

Any way, I have a beautiful new polish to show you all! It is called Partly Cloudy by Super Natural Lacquer; which is owned by Stefanie. It is a lovely light gray based polish filled with tiny glitter in light blue, teal and dark blue; as well as medium blue squared glitter, medium sized teal hexagon shaped glitter, and medium sized dark blue squared glitter. The photo below shows a close up of the glitters in the bottle.


Below you can see another close up compared to it being swatched on my nail. For the base color I used Snow Me White by Sinful Colors; which can be purchased in many stores such as; Target, Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, and some local super markets. 

I love how soft the gray is and the blue really gives a good pop of color. 

Below is my manicure. I started off with a clear base coat then, two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Next, I used two coats of Partly Cloudy and lastly, I went over it with Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat. 



I can't help but stare at the sparkle that is in it :) It is a great polish in my opinion. I love the application and the colors are such a great pair together. You can even layer the polish like I did using a solid base prior to painting it on your nails, or you can build its opacity with 3 coats. 



I definitely recommend checking out Stefanie's website and see what is currently in stock and what is coming soon! She is a Super Natural fanatic and she will be having a collection inspired by the show. So I suggest following her on Instagram and Facebook to see when they all launch. :)



As always, websites are listed below and links are clickable! Happy shopping! ^_^

Fickle Fairy Potions: Merman Crush Monday

Fickle Fairy Potions:
Merman Crush Monday

Hello fellow viewers! I have been having such a busy month. I have a lot going on, but it will not stop me from posting because this is what I enjoy doing. :)

I am so happy to have a new polish to share with you. It is called Merman Crush Monday by Tonya's line of polishes called Fickle Fairy Potions. This gorgeous polish is a teal based polish filled with all sorts of glitter in many shapes and sizes and a variety of colors. Below shows a close up of the glitters you will find. I was not kidding when I said it is filled with all sorts of glitters! 


Below is a photo of my manicure. I did two coats and used a good top coat to seal the glitter. 


The photo shown below is of the bottle with the name of the polish labeled on the bottom. I apologize for how the photo came up. Lighting was not helping me too much for some reason for this photo and the next one. 



I love this polish! It has great application and it built opacity in just two coats. This is just one of many polishes in the Fickle Fairy Potions' line. I recommend you check Tonya's shop out for some unique blends of nail polish. 


Tonya also puts jewelry together using her own polishes. The earrings below are made using her polish called Ravishing Rain. It's a gorgeous purple based color with tons of glitter that shines and sparkles when wearing. They are set on a silver setting of dangling earrings. 


Below is the website to the direct link. Happy shopping and can't wait to show you some more polishes I have in my collection that can be in yours. :)

Sindie POP! Cosmetics: Just Drawn Bad

Sindie POP! Cosmetics: 
Just Drawn Bad

I am back! I have not gone anywhere just been busy getting priorities done. :) 

I have here a beauty I have been holding out for a bit. Today I am featuring Sindie POP! Cosmetics' Just Drawn Bad created by Jessica and an unnamed Island Girl Hawaii Polish. 

Below is a gorgeous magenta based polish that dries matte. I did 3 coats and no top coat since I was going to put another polish over it. 

 I wish I knew the name of these beauty but, unfortunately in the pack of five I had received they all came with no names. If you know about Island Girl Hawaii Polishes, then you know how hard they are to find! They can only be found in parts of Nevada at ABC stores, and Hawaii. I was lucky to have come across the ABC stores website, but last time I checked they did not have all the colors that are made. 


Below is after I put Just Drawn Bad over the Island Girl polish. Just Drawn Bad is a gorgeous magenta jelly based polish; looks almost purple, with purple, red glitter in various sizes. 

This polish was inspired by the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the character Jessica Rabbit. It represents the color of her red dress, her red lips, and her purple gloves. The name of the polish itself is part of a line she says in the movie. It is actually one of my favorite old movies to watch! :) 

I love the polishes, just do be sure to wear top coats for both whether it is a matte or a gloss one just so the manicures last longer and hold down the glitter to keep from coming off. I used Glisten and Glow's HK Girl top coat. Links to purchase these items are below as always. Happy Shopping and stay tuned for more swatches and reviews! :)

Coated In Polish: Back To The Beach Featuring: Victoria Secret Polish and Jindie Nails Polish

I Want To Go 
"Back To The Beach"

Hello my fellow viewers! I had my coffee today and I am snowed in today so I thought I'd catch up on my blogging. I have posted today photos taken from my brand new camera; Sony Cyber Shot! It was gifted to me by my boyfriend for Christmas. I have been taking many photos with it, and I must say it is one of the best cameras out there! It works great for me and my nail photos. :)

So back onto track here. I am reviewing today; Back To The Beach by Coated In Polish. Creator and owner is Jessica and she is an absolute sweetheart! I enjoy seeing her creations and I hope you all do too! 

Below I have photographed the three polishes I used. Left to right I have; Coated In Polish: Back To The Beach (BTTB), Jindie Nails: Princess Breath (PB), and Victoria's Secret Polish: Wildside (WS). BTTB is a beautiful turquoise blue based polish mixed with holo bits. Definitely makes me want winter over so I can go to the beach! :D PB is a pretty mint green based polish with tons of glitter in yellow, pink, blue, purple, green, dark green, and in all shapes and sizes from squares to circles; small to large! That beauty is jam packed! WS is from the Victoria Secret store in their beauty section. This pretty polish was gifted to me by one of my sister in-laws. It is a magenta color based polish and looks stunning alone or with some added flair. 


 Below is my manicure I started out with. I did three coats of BTTB to build opacity, accent nail is PB with two coats and had used Glisten and Glow HK Girl top coat. 


 Below I am holding the bottle of Jindie Nails: PB upside down. Look how shiny my top coat is! I love that high gloss finish. It smooths out my glitter accent nail just perfectly with one coat. 


Below I have a close up of the glitter in PB. 


So I love nail art and felt this manicure would look great with Victoria's Secret WS. I have below a pictorial of a chevron design using Linda's Nail Vinyls. Step 1, Apply a base polish of your choice and make sure it dries completely before applying nail vinyl. Step 2, when nail polish is completely dried, apply nail vinyl/s. Step 3, Apply a second nail polish of choice over nail vinyls and quickly but carefully remove vinyls with a tweezer from the ends of the vinyls. Step 4, Let polish dry completely then apply a top coat of your choice. I prefer a fast dry one. 


Below is my finished manicure. I absolutely love it! Reminds me of Spring; which I can't wait because my birthday is in Spring. ^_^ 

I am still amazed at how good these photos have turned out. Not only did the camera help, but also my desk lamp and a light box I made using my Coach bag box that my bag came in. I put white tissue paper inside it for a background and viola! I have photos that are clearer, brighter, natural, and keeps the colors very true to how they look in real life.


Hope you all like the tips I gave out today! Remember you can look for purchase and availability of everything I mentioned below this post! If it is not available at the time do not be discouraged, it may be brought back in stock. Keep a look out for the restocks on the Instagram and Facebook pages of these indie makers. :)


Happy Shopping to all and please leave me some feedback below! Also, don't forget to keep up with my posts on Instagram: Tiffanys Polish Collection and Twitter: TinyTiff418. I post mostly nail photos and videos of my manicures. They get uploaded more often on those sites.
