Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Review

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.... if they even exist!?! Yeh I have no idea. I've been MIA for quite some time, but I am here to share a wonderful review of a soon to be released Valentine's Polish collection.

I was contacted by Julie from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer to do a review for her upcoming Valentine's collection called "My Indecisive Valentine." I was sent two of the six polishes to review.

"Flash Forward Fantasy": A nude with violet flakies and a strong pink to gold shift. Matte Finish.  ($10.00)

"Idealistic Future": Clear based glitter topper packed with gold, pink, purple, and red glitters in hexes, squares, glass dots, diamonds, and hearts.  ($8.00)

Lets start out with "Flash Forward Fantasy"...

If you don't already know, I wear CNS nails so they naturally have a french tip when they are bare. So I decided to show a couple bases and my naked nail.

Starting from the top: 4 coats on naked CNS nail

1 coat over white base

3 coats over white

1 coat over black

 I normally don't like matte polishes, but I think it worked very well with this polish and it helps show of the shimmer. Sadly the camera didn't want to pick it up as much as it showed in real life.

 I really like this polish. It is very close to the perfect nude for me. It applied very smooth with no issues.

  For the final swatch I applied a topcoat because I felt it showed of the shimmer a bit more.

 Just another to show the shimmer!!!

 The second polish is "Idealistic Future"

 I applied this glitter topper without have to dab, which is always a plus in my book. Sadly I didn't see a lot of hearts, but maybe I just needed to shake the bottle a little more.

 I love glitter toppers and I love this one. It can be used over so may different colors.

I really liked both polishes, and I hope to try more from BEGL soon (Tax-refund!!) If all her polishes are as awesome as these two then you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for reading and make sure to check out the rest of the collection.

Avon Matte Violetta

I've had this polish for awhile. I use to sell Avon before I really got into nail polish. Ever since I got this color I thought it was so pretty, but it kept getting pushed to the end of the line so to speak. I finally decided to try it out.... I was really disappointed. In the bottle "Violetta" is a deep purple with hints on pink and blue... on the nail, not so much...

 This is my first time using a matte nail polish, but the formula was horrible. Application was a pain in the butt. Ugggg... I really don't care for the final color either. It's so blah and nothing like it was in the bottle. I did a SV topcoat and it really helped. Maybe it is just me, but I think polishes look better when shiny. Such is the case with "Violetta"...

 You can really see the pink here

 The blue is beautiful at this angle

Much better with a top coat... This polish is with out a doubt going in to the swap drawer. I hope someone else can give it a proper loving home...

Kleancolor Chunky Holo Collection for under $20!!!!

So I was lucky to find a place to buy all 9 of the Kleancolor Chunky Holos for a really good price. I know a lot of people don't like ebay, but I found a seller that sells all 9 of the Holos and a bottle of "Madly Matte" for only $19 and free shipping!!! How awesome if that? You'll find the link to the sellers store and some exciting news at the end of this post :)

I just got my polishes in the mail yesterday and I was so excited. I was able to remember to take a pic of the package before I ripped into them lol.

 Each bottle was wrapped individually and then they were all wrapped in bubble wrap together. Look at the hidden pretties :) Sorry for the somewhat blurry pics, my using an old lens on my camera until I can get a better one since my other one broke :( Here they are unwrapped:

 Chunky Holo: Scarlet, Teal, Purple, Clover, and Candy

Chunky Holo: Black, Poppy, Fushia, Bluebell and Madly Matte

I swatched all of them on a color wheel right away alone and over black. Over black they all look the same except for "Scarlet," "Candy," and "Black" but you will see that when I get to those reviews :)

For the first review we have is "Teal"

A quick note about these polishes. I have noticed a slight odor with them but it's nothing over powering, but it is worth noting. I still love these polishes though :)

Here is the inital swatch I did and again sorry for the crappy pictures...

I like that there is a color to the base so it is still nice to wear alone. I decided to add a base coat though so I'd get full opacity. I used a Sally Girl polish, it doesn't have a name.. but there is a number I think I'd have to look. Anyways here is the base, I did 2 coats.

This polish does have a pretty blue to green shift but I just couldn't catch it with my crappy lens :( oh well. And here it is covered with 2 coats of "Chunky Holo Teal"

 It was so hard to try and capture the prettiness of this polish.

At this angle you can see all the flakes in the polish. They mainly ranged from yellow, orange, and green. I've never done a matte nail so I figured I'd try it since I got a bottle with this set.

With the matte topcoat the flakies were a little easier to see, but I just wasn't feeling the matte look, I guess I just expect nails to be shiny and pretty lol. Well here are some more pics for you :)

So all in all I really like this polish. It's pretty and a bit on the subtle side. It went on great even though it is a bit on the thicker side but that didn't bother me at all. I did have an issue after I put the topcoat on but I think it was from the top coat it's self. I used "Out The Door" fast dry top coat and I had issues with the polish moving on my nails. Hard to describe but yeh I think I'll stick with my SV.

So do you want to get these pretty polishes all for yourself? here is the link to the ebay store: Beauty Couture They have 236 colors of Kleancolor polish and cosmetics along with a few other brands like Santeen, Cherimoya and the 2012 crackles, also NYX cosmetics, L.A Colors cosmetics and polishes, Nabi polish and cosmetics. For example you can get 80 Kleancolor polishes of your choice for $94.59 with free shipping!!! Now that's a great deal!

I've made an agreement with the seller that for every 10 people that order from them from my blog I will receive some polishes and I plan on using some of them for giveaways!!! I'm not sure if I should just do it for the people that ordered or for all of my followers, what do you think? When you order just make sure to use the code "peacock" They prices are great and cheaper then most other online stores. Please go check it out.

Again the ebay store is Beauty Couture and make sure to use the code "peacock"

Keep checking back for the reviews to the rest of the colors and updates for my giveaways. Please spread the word. The more people that order the more giveaways I will be able to have :) If you have any questions or comments please leave them below and thanks for reading!!
