Darling Diva Polish - Snow Angel and Jingle Bells Swatches & Review

Today on the blog I have two Christmas polishes from Darling Diva Polish to show you guys! I know Christmas passed already, but who says it's too early to start nail preparations for this year?!

Snow Angel is a color shifting polish that shifts mainly from a pink, to blue, to green. This polish can be layered over another polish as a color shifting polish, or worn alone. My swatches are one coat of Snow Angel worn over two coats of Alpine Snow by OPI.

 
Jingle Bells consists of green and red circle glitters, white hexagonal glitters, and red, green, and silver bell shaped glitters in a clear base. My swatches are one coat of Jingle Bells worn over 2 coats of Snow Angel.

Although both polishes are very pretty, I did have a bit of difficulty with Jingle Bells. The bell shaped glitters did not lay flat on the nails and was often snagging on things, even after a layer of top coat. This could possibly be fixed with another layer or two of top coat, but it seems like a bit too much. Other then that the polishes applied with ease and dried fairly quickly.

Darling Diva Polishes costs between $8-$13 and can be purchased from her bigcartel shop found here.You may also purchase her polishes from Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signatures, Le Doux Nuage, and Edgy Polish. Don't forget to check out her Facebook fanpage found here also for sneak peeks, updates, and deals!

Darling Diva Polish - Muscle Car Diva Collection Swatches & Review

Today I will be showing you 4 of the 12 polishes from the new Darling Diva Polish Muscle Car Diva collection. If you're a fan of sparkly polish, you better strap on your seat belts, because these polishes are sure to take you for a ride!

First up we have Z28, which consists of multiple sizes of light green holographic glitters in a clear base. My swatches are two coats worn alone.

Next is Cobra, which consists of multiple sizes of pink holographic glitters in a pink jelly base. My swatches are two coats worn alone.

This is Boss Lady 302, and this polish consists of multiple sizes of berry colored holographic glitters in a magenta jelly base. My swatches are two coats worn alone.

Last, but certainly not least, is a familiar polish known as Little Red Corvette, which you may remember from a few months ago. Little Red Corvette consists of multiple sizes of red holographic glitters in a red jelly base. My swatches are two coats worn alone.

I ADORE these polishes! All such beautiful, bright, sparkly colors, that are unique in their own ways. These applied very easily, and I would strongly recommend the foil method or glue base coat for these polishes, as they may become difficult to remove.

NailNation is the Name, & Stamping is the Game!

Today's Bundle Monster Stamping Month technique was inspired by some manicures I've been seeing in the nail art community. I absolutely LOVE the stamped designs that are filled in with color, and after trying it myself, I've grown more respect for those who can do it so flawlessly!

The products I used to create this look are:
* NailNation 3000 - Marthe
* NailNation 3000 - Glow Worm
* NailNation 3000 - Gina... So Guess What
* OPI - Alpine Snow
* Cult Nails - Nevermore
* Bundle Monster - BM422
* Top Coat

I'll definitley try this technique again! It's a lot of work, but it sure does pay off in the end.

Peace & Love,

Around and Around

Thank goodness it's Friday! To kick off this weekend, I have today's Bundle Monster Stamping Month post!

I loved my manicure with Happy Wife Happy Life by Darling Diva Polish which I reviewed here, and I thought it would look really cool as a base color for stamping. So I grabbed BM-422 from the Bundle Monster Create Your Own stamping plate set, and my bottle of Silver Stilettos by Milani and this happened...

 Have a safe weekend everyone!

Peace & Love,

Darling Diva Polish - Happy Wife, Happy Life Swatches & Review

Today I have a beautiful new polish from Darling Diva Polish that is sure to turn heads!

Happy Wife, Happy Life consists of color shifting glitters that change from green to purple, to gold (you may even see blue & pink in certain lighting!) in a clear base. My swatches are one coat of Happy Wife, Happy Life worn over 2 coats of Sparkling Water by Sally Hansen.

I don't think I own a polish quite like this in my collection, the color shift had me mesmerized for hours! I kinda regret wearing a base color so similar to Happy Life, Happy Wife because if it looks this good despite one of the color shifts blending with the base, I can only imagine what it looks like over really dark colors! This polish applies easily and dries quickly. The glitter payoff for only one coat is also amazing.
