GlitterDaze Futuristic Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hello! Today brings some newer polishes from GlitterDaze Cosmetics. In addition to the Spring Whimsy Collection, she recently released this Futuristic Collection, which is available now in GlitterDaze's shop.

Formula Notes:

This set consists of six polishes, in two different sort of formula/finishes. The first of the three are all flake polishes that are a bit more sparse in coverage. You could easily layer and need only one coat over a base color but I like to build up coverage when I can. I applied three thinner style coats with a little bit of visible nail line.

The final three polishes are high density linear holographic color-shifting multi-chromes. Lots of color shifting going on, lots of holo flame, all things I love. These were definitely my preference of the set. They go on smoothly, needing just two coats for coverage. Overall, I think all polishes are high impact, color-shifting polishes, it will just depend on which sort of finish you prefer.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Kiki Vol. 2 Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! I have an exciting new collection from Lollipop Posse Lacquer to share today. These four are part of the Kiki Vol. 2 Collection, a continuation of her Christmas Kiki Holiday 2016 Collection, which was inspired by the Scissor Sister's song, "Let's Have a Kiki".

Formula Notes:
All four in this set are matte shimmer polishes. They have a crelly/jelly type of formula and will dry down to a satin matte finish, if you prefer a more matte finish, I would apply topcoat and then a layer of matte topcoat (this is also good if you want to lessen your dry time). The polishes apply well, with nice consistency and the actual dry down time is not too long, maybe 4-5 minutes, though dry to touch would take a little longer. I love how vibrant the colors are, totally tying into the pop and joy-filled spirit of the song and video. Usually I have a favorite but this time I am going to recommend the whole set, they are too pretty to miss out on!

The Kiki Vol 2 Collection will be released Friday April 14th at 8 pm EST in Lollipop Posse Lacquer's shop.

Each polish will retail for $9.50 and you can purchase the four polish set for $34 (US shipping included) as well as this set plus the Christmas Kiki set (8 polishes total) for $66 (US shipping included).

Girly Bits Cosmetics All Bronze No Brains

April 2017 COTM

Two coats
Bronze linear holographic with rose gold and pink shimmer
You know that anything metallic is going to be automatically awesome to me and the added rose gold and pink shimmer make this an even more lust-worthy holo. Depending on how thick or thin you apply your coats, you may need two to three for coverage, I got away with just two.

Girly Bits Cosmetics Robin Me Blind

April 2017 COTM

Two coats

Robin egg blue crelly with pink/gold shimmer, tiny copper flakes and pink/green ultra chrome flakes

Such a beautiful and saturated shade of robin's egg blue. I love the little pop of color contrast from the flakes. It's a bit thicker in formula compared to the previous holo but no issue with application, two coats shown here for coverage.

Girly Bits Cosmetics King Candy

FTLOP April 2017

Three coats

Pale lavender holographic with pink/orange/gold shimmer

This is a very lovely purple holo with a shimmery gleam to it. It's slightly sheerish but builds up to opacity with three coats.

GlitterDaze Spring Whimsy Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey everyone! I have two new collections from GlitterDaze to share, this first one is her Spring Whimsy Collection.

This collection consists of six polishes, all jelly based polishes with a multitude of flakes, shimmer, glitter, all that good stuff. They have a scattered holo effect and the flashes of color shift from the opal flakes is oh so pretty. Formula wise, they are easy to apply, only needing two coats for coverage, which is a nice surprise, I was expecting to need three coats at the minimum. They flakes/glitter lay flat so I didn't find that I need more than my standard coat of topcoat but if you wear these for a few days, you may find that adding an additional layer of topcoat will keep you with a glassy shiny finish. And the names, they definitely inspire whimsy.

The Spring Whimsy Collection is available now in GlitterDaze's shop, each polish retails for $12.50.
