Hello Lovelies! Phew! I have been struggling with this evil router all morning (and last night), and finally managed to get the connection up and running again. I don't know about you, but I always feel kind of lost when my internet acts up. It's amazing just how much we rely on technology, huh? I'm also bummed since that index nail that has the crack in it? Yeah, lost more length due that horrid beast last night. Now that it's hitting the free edge, the patches just aren't holding. Meh and blah. I don't mind shorties, but I want my length back already! Thankfully my left hand is at the point where I'm just letting those nails grow without messing with them, save for shaping. Hopefully I'll ba back to swatching on that hand within 1-2 weeks.

Today I have another stunner from Luscious Potion to share with you. I have to be honest - I am really loving Luscious Potion right now. Susan, the genius behind LP, is fairly new to the Indie Polish game but has really put out some impressive polish with her first 2 collections. I cannot wait to show you her awesome thermals, but you know how much I adore glitter, so I must wear those first!

Today's beauty is Innocent Snow, from Susan's first collection. This collection is Disney Inspired and manages to capture the feel of the selected Disney films wonderfully. Innocent Snow is obviously inspired by Snow White, and truly invokes images of Snow White flitting about the forest with all her animal friends (and the dwarves!). This girl is a vibrant and stunning mix of Cobalt Blue, Bright Apple Red, and Soft White square glitters with small yellow circle glitters in a clear base. I chose to layer Innocent Snow over Rimmel Blue Eyed Girl, a highly pigmented blue creme.

This is 1 coat of Innocent Snow over Blue Eyed Girl, with top coat:

I LOVE THIS! I mean, how can you not love a Snow White based polish?

Innocent Snow's formula is superb. The base is lovely and thick, which always helps to carry those glitters, yet not too thick to work with. Application was a breeze, with the glitters dispersing nicely across the nail and laying flat. In fact, this applied so well that I did not need any clean up - no stray glitters at the free edge or on my skin.  I applied this glitter with normal brush strokes - no need to dab this one. Dry time was fast and wear is excellent! I'm actually still wearing this pretty and have no lifting glitters at all.

There are so many new indies on the market right now that it's kind of hard to tell what is great and what is just okay....but let me tell ya - Luscious Potion is quality. The polishes from this brand that I have tried so far have been from Susan's very first collection and they are incredibly impressive. I can't wait to share the second collection since they can only get better!

You can check out Luscious Potion at Big Cartel. Full size polishes sell for $8, save for thermals which will run you $10 each. You can also grab the entire Disney Collection for $25.00. You can also follow Luscious Potion on Instagram (@LusciousPotion) for updates on sales, new releases, and swatches.

What do you think of Innocent Snow? Are you a Snow White fan?

I'll have more from this awesome brand coming up, as well as some pretties from Delush Polish, Fandom Cosmetics, Polish TBH and more, so stick around!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Luscious Potion: Elegant Lotus

Good Morning Lovelies! I've been MIA for the past few days, and I apologize for my absence. Yesterday was my daughter's 12th Birthday, and I spent the last few days preparing for the festivities. I spent a lot of time cleaning the heck out of my house since she was going to have a friend over, but unfortunately she couldn't make it. But my house is all sparkly now! Kalli did have a great birthday, and it's always awesome to see her so happy. I still can't believe she is 12! Seems like just yesterday that she was a little itty bitty newborn in my arms. How time flies, right?

Today I have a fairly new Indie Brand to introduce you to, and I am way excited! Luscious Potion is the brainchild of Susan V, who I had the pleasure of getting to know through Instagram. Susan and I are email buddies as well, and she recently asked me to share her pretties with you! I have 11 of her beauties to share with you lovelies, so I figure I'd get started right away. Besides, these polishes are much too gorgeous to not try right away!

The first Luscious Potion polish I have for you is called Elegant Lotus. This absolutely gorgeous polish is from Susan's first collection - a Disney Inspired Collection. That's a pretty big undertaking for a first collection, but let me tell ya - Susan has done it very well!

Elegant Lotus is a blend of Small blue hex glitter, smaller red hex glitters and teal hexes in a soft pink shimmer base. I adore shimmers with glitter, but they're hard to pull off. Elegant Lotus however, is a fabulous blend of sparkly glitter and awesome shimmer. Let's take a peek!

This is 2 coats of Elegant Lotus topped with NPB Glitter Food and top coat:

I. Love. This. Polish! Susan has some amazing polishes, but Elegant Lotus was the first Luscious Potion that I saw on IG, and I fell in love right away. I just had to wear this one first, and I was not let down. It's beautiful in pictures, but IRL? Those glitters are so sparkly and really pop against the pink base. I spent alot of time staring at this, and as far as people noticing my nails while I was out and about, this was one of the most asked about polishes that I have worn.

Elegant Lotus has a lovely formula - Indie thick but not too thick, if you know what I mean. Thick enough to avoid flooding and carry the glitters well, but not so thick as to be problematic. I experienced zero thickening during use and no glitter issues. Application was a cake walk with no dragging or balding and no clumpy glitters. This girl has excellent opacity, barely needing the 2nd coat of polish to be completely opaque. Dry time was lightning quick, even before top coat. Wear was awesome - I wore this for 2 days and had only some minor top wear. Elegant Lotus does dry slightly textured, so I added a coat of Glitter Food for a glassy smooth finish, but that's more of a personal preference than a necessity.

I have to say that Elegant Lotus is highly impressive, especially for being part of Susan's very first collection. This is one of those polishes that I can see myself reaching for again and again, especially when I want something soft, but still eye catching. I'm incredibly excited to try out the rest of her pretties, including her holo thermals!

You can find Luscious Potion on Big Cartel, and the Disney Collection is on sale now! You can grab full size bottles for $5 each, or the entire collection for $25.00. Other polishes sell for $8.00 for full sized bottles, save for the holo thermals, which run $10 each. You can also save 15% off your order by using code 15kimberskorner! You can also follow Luscious Potion on Instagram (@LusciousPotion) for updates on re-stocks, sales and more swatches).

I'll be back ( I hope anyway!) later today with some Polish TBH! I have some more Luscious Potion coming up this week as well as Live.Life.Polished, Polish Addict, NPB and more!

What do you think of ELegant Lotus? Are you a fan of glittery shimmers?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
