Hello again lovelies! I had been planning to spam you all with posts yesterday, but I am a genius and completely forgot that I had other obligations. However, I have 3 posts for you all today! Woohoo!!

First up for today is another beauty from a new Indie brand, Gothic Gala. This was one of the most anticipated releases for me, since I've been following Gothic Gala since Sam (the brand's creator) first started posting bottle shots on Facebook. Her polishes blew me away, and I knew I had to share them with you all.

Today's polish is called Lolita's Gown and it's a stunning sheer purple shimmer with different shaped black and white glitters (including hexes, bar glitter, and stars).  I have been dying to wear this one since it's such an awesome mix, and am thrilled that I was finally able to sport his baby on my paws.

This is 3 thin coats of Lolita's Gown, with topcoat (shown on my left hand since it's finally back in swatching shape!):

I know, I know...not as many pics as usual. My camera battery died and to be honest, I haven't convinced myself to spend $80 on a second battery just yet. But hey, look at that polish! Is this not just beautiful!?! I adore this shade of purple - so rich. And the shimmer in this girl really sparkles. Not to mention the glitter - who doesn't love black and white glitter, right?

Lolita's Gown has an excellent formula with perfect consistency and no thickening during use. Application was lovely, although I forgot to tip my bottle upside down before use so I didn't get the full glitter payoff. Trust me though - if you tip your bottle upside down for a few minutes before application, the glitter payoff is awesome! I experienced no dragging or balding, the glitters dispersed nicely (even the bar glitters) and dry time was excellent. This is a sheer polish, so you will need all 3 coats for full opacity, or you can layer this over a similar purple. This girl also looks ah-freaking-mazing layered over black.

I'm highly impressed with Gothic Gala's polish. This is only the second polish that I've tried, but they've both been incredibly high-quality and just gorgeous! Sam has 2 collections that will be releasing this fall, and they're both awesome as well. The Holo Deck Collection is a star trek themed collection, and the Valhalla Collection will be coming out in November (if my memory serves me right!). I'm dying to get my hands on Odin from Valhalla! You have to see this one - gorgeous holo.

You can check out Gothic Gala Lacquers on Etsy. Full size polish retails for $9.00 - $9.50 depending on finish. The Holo Deck Collection is available for pre-order, but hurry before they sell out! If you're an LSU fan, you don't want to miss Sam's custom LSU polish, Geaux LSU. Be sure to follow Gothic Gala Lacquers on Facebook and Instagram for release info, sales, and swatches.

What do you think of Lolita's Gown? Are you a fan of glitters in a shimmer base?

I'll be back (for certain this time loves!) with some thermal goodness from Polish TBH later today, and this week's Mish Mash Challenge. I have a ton of swatches coming up this week from Love Angeline, Tawdry Terrier, Cinema Swatch Lacquers, and Squishy Face Polish so check back often!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Daring Digits 80's Hits Collection - Miss You Much

 Press Sample

 *Product(s) Featured provided for review. Please see Disclaimer/Legal Page for more information** 

 Hello Lovelies! It's Monday morning, and we all know how much I love Monday....ugh! At least I have some awesome polishes to share with you today. It's looking like I'll be posting multiple daily posts again for a few days, so get ready to see some gorgeous Indies!

Don't forget that the giveaway is still running! Click here to enter!

This morning I have another beauty from Daring Digits 80's Hits Collection to share with you. This polish is one of the first that i opened when I received these for review, and man! Did it blow me away! At first glance, it may seem like a black and white glitter polish, but it has something special. 

Miss You Much is a mix of multiple sizes and shapes of black and white glitters in a clear base. What sets it apart is that it also includes a really gorgeous green shimmer! The shimmer was very difficult to capture on camera, but I assure you, it's there. 

I used 2 thin coats of Miss You Much over Julep Nikki here. Nikki is a neon yellow/green creme, so that shimmer you're seeing is from Miss You Much. 

You're also getting more shorties with this post, since This color looked better on my left hand shorties than on my stilettos. :)

   









































Although I'm not sold on Julep Nikki (it's one of those so ugly it's kinda pretty colors, but doesn't look great on me), Daring Digits Miss You Much is gorgeous! I love black and white glitters, but throw in that green shimmer and wow! Bonus!

Miss You Much was a breeze to apply. The formula was perfect - not too thick, not too thin, with no clumping glitters. The larger glitters are a touch heavy, so I kept my bottle upside down for a few minutes before polishing and had no problems with grabbing enough glitter. MYM dries just a tad textured, but nothing your usual top coat can't handle. Dry time was lightning fast as well. 

I really love this twist on black and white glitter. It gives it just enough extra sparkle to be eye catching, but not overwhelming. Although the shimmer is green, it's so fine that it matches well with almost any color. Brilliant!
