Hello Lovelies! First of all, I expect some of you are wondering just where in the heck I have been. It's okay - I've been wondering too (ha?)!
Let me start by saying that 2013 has been the WORST year on record for my family. Any bit of bad luck possible has come our way. Big, small and in between, bad luck has just plagued all of us. I suppose I should just expect the rest of this year to bring even more bad luck, since good luck has just been few and far between.
First of all, mom is feeling very weak, and is looking at a possible transfusion. Her CBC was low before her last chemo, and this week has been horrendous for her. My oldest is having issues with school (grades), and I now have to stand over her to ensure she doesn't half ass anything or hide it altogether. My youngest is in his "testing the limits" stage, which is certainly trying.
The big thing that I mentioned on IG, was that my niece, who is now 33 weeks pregnant, was out walking one night last week and was hit by a car. She suffered a broken shoulder, split lips (top and bottom), broken teeth, and tons of bumps, bruises, and scrapes. She landed on her stomach, which has caused the placenta to partially detach, which is incredibly dangerous to both mother and baby. She was recently released from the hospital, and is now stuck at home on bed rest and bored to tears. She was not at fault, and I managed to get ahold of my ex-husband (the Attorney) and he referred us to a friend of his that is a personal injury lawyer and is apparently just a hard ass in court. I'm still so furious at the guy that hit her, and so incredibly worried about her and the baby.
So, there ya have it. All of that is why I was gone for a bit. I had to focus on my family, especially after my niece's accident, and I just couldn't spend my usual 6 hours a day swatching, photographing, editing, and posting. I hope you all forgive me, but even us bloggers have lives outside of polish, right?
I am however, coming back with a bang today. I have a stunning polish from Squishy Face Polish to share with you today, and it's so awesome that I desperately want to go back and wear it again.
Nebula is a beautiful dusty scattered holographic polish from the fall 2013 "Cosmic" Collection. The base color is a dusty purple, at least that's what my eyes perceive it as. It's certainly a very unique color, and I am a complete sucker for unique colors.
This is 2 coats of Nebula, topped with Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat, shown in various lighting:
Wow. Just wow. This color brings out the olive in my skintone, but I care not. It's just too pretty to ignore. I love dusty colors, and the only other dusty purples I own lean more pink. This is exactly what I was looking for in a dusty purple polish, and the holo makes it so much more epic. I do wish I had some good sunlight for holo shots, but since I have to photograph at night, you'll have to trust me on this - Nebula is very holo in any light, but in sunlight, it throws rainbows all over and is so gorgeous that it's almost dangerous. So much love for this polish.
Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Not exactly a macro, but look at that baby! Soooo gorgeous! As much as I love linear holos, I still adore a good scattered holo sparkle. Love, love, love!
Nebula's formula is just epic as well. Squishy Face Polish has one of the best Indie formulas around, and Nebula is certainly no exception. this girl was not as thin as the usual holos, but not as thick as an indie cream either. No thickening during use here. Application was just amazing with no dragging or balding at all. Nebula flowed onto the nail like melted butter and dried lightning quick, even before top coat. Wear is exceptional for a holo with no chips or tip wear at over 48 hours (I wore this for a good 4 days), and the holo effect never dulled down.
I'm fast becoming a huge fan of Squishy Face Polish. These holos are just incredible. I have yet to find a holo formula that is as perfect as Squishy Face's, and I am so excited to share the other 4 colors with you. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but wait until you see the blue - mind blowing!!!!
You can grab Nebula and the rest of the Cosmic Collection by visiting Squishy Face Polish on Store Envy. Full size bottles run $10 each, or you can grab the full set for $50 full size or $20 for minis. I highly recommend grabbing these before they're gone - you will not be sorry! You can also follow Squishy Face Polish on Instagram for sales, re-stock info, new releases and more. Go forth and shop!!
What do you think of Nebula? Are you a fan of dusty colors?
I'll be back tomorrow with some Love, Angeline Halloween goodness ( with some holo, of course!). I'm so glad to be back, and I'm so grateful that you all stuck around. You guys are the best readers and friends in the world!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Squishy Face Polish - Polaris
Press Sample
*Product(s) Featured provided for review. Please see Disclaimer/Legal Page for more information**
Hello lovelies! Man, am still feeling a bit under the weather, although I'm finally starting to show some signs of life. This cold has been brutal and I truly apologize for my lack of posts - but thank you so much for sticking with me. All too often I see bloggers treated as if we are somehow superhuman and are expected to be swatching and posting machines through even the most miserable illness - I am so happy you all understand that I am, in fact, only human.
Today I have a seriously jaw-dropping polish from a fairly new to me brand, Squishy Face Polish. SFP just released their Fall Collection (The Cosmic Collection), and I'm lucky enough to be able to swatch them for you guys! I can't tell you how excited I am, since Squishy Face makes some stunning polish, and the Cosmic Collection is one of my faves so far this fall. Lots and lots of holo goodness and, of course, glittah!!!
The first polish I have to share from the Cosmic Collection is Polaris, an utterly gorgeous Green linear holographic polish. Oh. My. God, Loves.....when I first unpacked this one my eyes about popped out of my head! I love a good, vibrant green, and Polaris is vibrant and saturated and just full of holo sparkle.
This is 3 coats of Polaris topped with HK Girl Top Coat:
Okay, First I have to admit...I am over the moon with these photos. So happy with how accurate the color is, and that I captured the holo glow in the lightbox! Next....OMG are you looking at this polish!?!? This is, IMO, the perfect green holo for fall. For any season for that matter. There is nothing about this color that doesn't make my little heart beat faster.
What? You want a macro? Well, okay!
Polaris' formula is, for lack of a more unique word, Perfect. Consistency was fabulous, no thickening during use, and no shaking until my hand went numb to make sure there were no thick spots. Application was perfection as well. This polish has the best formula of any of my holos, hands down. Which we all know is saying A LOT, since holos are notorious for being a pain. Not Polaris! No streaking, dragging, or balding, perfect opacity at 2 coats (I'm wearing 3 since I whacked a nail and had to fix it), and ultra-fast dry time. Another huge deal with holos, at least for me, is wear...I wore this for almost 5 days and had one tiny spot of tip wear on one thumb. That was it. No chips, no major wear, no color fade - nothing. My god, I don't know what Alice put in this, but she has struck holo formula gold!
Lovelies, you need this polish. NEED. If you only grab one green this fall? Make it Polaris. ANd, if you aren't into greens (you still need this!), Squishy Face's Cosmic Collection boasts a gorgeous holo in several colors. I cannot wait to share the rest with you all - I am just blown away!
You can find Squishy Face Polish on Store Envy. The Cosmic Collection is available now, and retails for $10/full size polish, or $50 for the entire 6 polish collection. Don't skip this one folks, these will sell out and you have to experience these for yourself. *sings* Looooooove!!!!!! Take a peek at some of the other SFP babies too - I can't wait to grab some more. I'm that in love with this brand, lovelies! You can also follow Squishy Face Polish on Instagram for sales info, new releases, and swatches. Keep an eye on this one ....I have a feeling Squishy Face is going to be HUGE!
What do you think of Polaris? Do you have a fave green holo?
I'll be back tomorrow with more Indie Goodness. I have so much coming up that I can't even keep track of it at the moment! ;) That's what happens what you take time off, then get sick right away. But I'll be a swatching fool this week so expect more fabulous polish than you can handle starting next week.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
