Hello lovelies! Happy Thursday! Not quite Friday, but close enough that I'll take it.
I'm feeling much better today! I managed to get some rest yesterday and filled up on calories. It's amazing how the body reacts during times of stress. Mine likes to try and shut down. I'm very happy that I was able to realize what was happening and fix it.
Don't forget that my 500 Follower Giveaway is live! Click here to enter. The BG Cosmetics Holographics Collection is up for grabs!
And, don't miss my Pure Nail Oil™ reveal post! I know alot of you were waiting to see what happened!
Obviously I missed the letter R challenge last week, and Q the week before due to everything that I have going on. I know that I need to be here for my mom right now, but that doesn't mean that I won't get those posts in, right? Right!
Today's post is my late letter R post. I have been in the mood to wear Red forever, however I detest photographing reds, so I always find myself holding off. This time, I had a polish in mind that just culd not wait, so I took the plunge.
Nail Pattern Boldness has fast become a fave Indie Brand of mine. Allison's color combinations are just brilliant, and NPB's formula and application is always perfection. When I first laid eyes on her newest red, Inner Beauty Is For Amateurs (fab name, right?), I immediately fell in love. Inner Beauty (since typing out that name is bound to give me carpal tunnel!) is the most amazing blend of glowy blue and iridescent glitters suspended in a racy red jelly base. This girl is utterly breathtaking!
Needless to say, I had an incredibly hard time capturing just how amazing this polish is. IRL the glitters are much more vibrant and the irridescent pinks are much more visible. My camera really wanted to overexpose and wash out those glitters.
This is 3 thin coats of Inner Beauty Is For Amateurs topped with Glitter Food and HK Girl Top Coat:
*Swoon*!! Even though I couldn't manage to capture the irridescent glitters all that well, this polish is still just incredible IRL. The macro shot, although not colro accurate as far as base color, shows the glitters a little better. It's a crazy beautiful combination, and my favorite twist on red to date!
Inner Beauty's formula was absolutely flawless, with not thickening or issues with glitter. Application was a dream, gliding onto the nail smoothly with no dragging or balding. Dry time was wonderfully fast, although this girl does dry a bit matte, so top coat is a must for that crazy jelly shine. Inner Beauty does not dry very textured, but since there was some slight texture I added a coat of Glitter Food to keep things nice and smooth.
I was so very excited to wear this polish and let me tell you, she did not disappoint! My ONLY issue was the photographing this baby was tough. If you love reds, you absolutely need this polish!
You can grab your very own bottle of Inner Beauty Is For Amateurs by visiting Nail Pattern Boldness on Etsy, or by heading over to Llarowe. Full size bottles retail for $9.00, and while you're there you can grab a bottle of the amazing Glitter-A-Peel! I use GAP with every glitter manicure now and I never have to use a single drop of acetone after peeling off my polish! Woohoo!! Don't forget to follow Nail Pattern Boldness on Facebook to stay up to date on re-stock information, new releases, and swatches.
I have some more awesomness from NPB coming up this week, as well as some goodness from Fuse Nail Polish, Polish Addict, Candied Lustre and more!
This is normally where I woud link to my awesome polish sistah's and their R manicures, but I'm so late posting this mani that submissions are closed. :( I hope you didn't miss them!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
