Hello lovelies! It's Thursday! Which is a happy day in my worlds, since it means payday hits around 2 A.M.! I need to order more Pure Nail Oil, as well as grab some new base colors and the like, so payday is always a good day.

Today I have the final polish from Delush Polish to share with you all. This polish is my very favorite Delushie, and I was so happy that Adrianna included this one in my package. Huge thanks to her for allowing me to share her hard work and awesome creations with you all!

Cirque Fantastique is a mix of neon pink, teal, and yellow square glitters, and fuchsia and blue microglitters in a white crelly base. If this polish looks familiar, it might be because none-other than Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child has worn this same polish, and posted pictures on Instagram (You can see those pics on Delush Polish on FB or Instagram)! Adrianna was able to gift Cirque Fantastique to Kelly at one of her shows, and soon after Kelly posted the pictures of herself wearing it. That is a pretty cool thing, if you ask me.

Obviously I was incredibly excited about this one! Let's get right to it, shall we?

This is 2 coats of Cirque Fantastique, with Top Coat:

Ahhhhhhh!!! I almost don't have the words....I just love this polish soooo much. Look at those colors! I'm really digging neon glitters in a light base these days, and this girl perfectly embodies that trend.

Cirque Fantastique's formula was absolute perfection. I mean, don't get me wrong - Teal Death Do Us Part and It Takes Two To Mango have amazing formulas as well, but there is something about CF that is slightly different, and just lovely. I had zero issues with the formula on this beauty. Application was just as wonderful, with no dragging, streaking, balding, or fishing for glitters. Although this pretty is completely opaque in 2 coats, this is one of those polishes that you want to keep applying, even when you don't need any more coverage, just because it's that nice to work with. Cirque Fantastique dries only slightly textured, so all you really need is your usual top coat to keep things shiny and smooth. Wear is excellent - I'm still wearing this polish and have no wear/chips at just under 24 hours now.

I am officially in love with Delush Polish! Adrianna's creations are not only unique, but high quality as well. Roll on winning lottery ticket, cause I want them all!!

You can find Delush Polish at DelushPolish.com. Full size bottles retail for $8.95, minis are $4.50. You can also grab the entire Bombastic Summer Love Collection for $48.00 full size, or $25.00 for mini bottles. Delush also has 2 additional collections that are just as gorgeous, so don't forget to look around! To keep up with new releases, re-stock info, swatches, and more, you can follow Delush Polish on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well. I can't recommend Delush Polish enough!

What do you think of Cirque Fantastique? Have you seen the pics of Kelly Rowland rockin' this pretty?

I'll be back tomorrow with Flakie Friday, so be sure to check back!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Delush Polish - Teal Death Do Us Part

Good morning Lovelies!!! Happy Wednesday! Today is another two post day, since it's a challenge day and I'm working hard to get lots of swatches done for you guys and gals. Not easy with my crazy schedule at the moment, but since polishing is my little slice of Zen, I never go a day without swatching something. Mom had chemo on Monday, so Friday's post may be a late evening post - 4-5 days after chemo is when she has her tough day, and I need to be there to help take care of her. My dad, bless his heart, tries so hard but he gets scared and frazzled. My EMT training taught me to stay calm, so I always head on over and take over the nursing duties so dad can relax a bit and mom has an extra set of hands.

Today I have another awesome pretty from Delush Polish for you! You guys....can I just say how deeply in love I am with Delush?? I need more. In fact, I need them all. Anyone want to donate to my cause? Maybe I can win the lottery....

Teal Death Do Us Part is another gorgeous polish from Delush's Bombastic Summer Love Collection. This baby is a mix of holo gold, pink, yellow, lavender and teal glitters in a bright teal crelly base. This is one of my very fave Delushies, and I literally squeed out loud when I saw that Adrianna had included this girl.

I also want to mention that with every order, Adrianna sends out a "Scratch your Heart Out" scratch off card where you can scratch the heart off to win free shipping, great discount and more. I actually won the honor of naming one of the next Delush Polishes! How cool is that! I really hope that I can come up with something worthy of a Delushie! And now, let's take a peak at some Delush awesomeness!

This is 2.5 (I'll explain that in a sec! hehehe!) coats of Teal Death Do Us Part topped with NPB Glitter Food and HK Girl Top Coat:

Now *that*......that is a gorgeous polish. I love the color combinations here, and the teal base is so vibrant! I spent an extraordinary amount of time staring at my nails in wonder while wearing this....another one of those "dangerous while driving" polishes.

Teal Death Do Us Part's formula was perfection! Thick enough to carry all of those lovely glitters, yet not thick enough to need any thinner, and no thickening during use. I had no issues with clumpy glitters either. Application was smooth and problem free, which always surprises me when I'm using a glitter packed polish! No dragging, balding, glopping up or streaking here! This girl has a ton of glitter as well, so no need to fish for those larger pieces, and no need to hand place glitter. Dry time was lightning fast, and wear was exceptional. I wore this for around 32 hours or so and had not a single sign of wear. Teal Death Do Us Part does dry slightly textured, so I used a coat of Glitter Food to smooth things out before adding top coat.

As for the 2.5 coats, Teal Death Do Us Part only needs 2 coats fo complete, eye popping, glittery opacity, however I managed to smudge a couple of nails while attempting to remove the cat from my polish table, so a few nails actually have 3 coats. :)

I am really just thrilled with these Delush beauties, and I cannot wait to share the final, and my very favorite polish, with you tomorrow. Hint - it's the polish that the ultra-awesome Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child wore - and shared on Instagram! You won't want to miss it - it's truly a killer polish.

You can check out all of the amazing Delush Polish beauties at DelushPolish.com. Full size bottles are only $8.50, and minis will run you $4.50. You can also grab the entire Bombastic Summer Love Collection (6 polishes) for $48.00 full size, or $25.00 for minis. I highly recommend checking out the Downtown A-List Collection as well - I have a soft spot for that collection! You can follow Delush Polish on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to keep up with new releases, re-stocks, swatches and more!

What's your take on Teal Death Do Us Part? Are you a fan of these types of glitters?

I'll be back later today with the second to last ABC Challenge post (already??!?), and I have some more amazing indie brands coming up, so be sure to check back soon.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Delush Polish - It Takes Two To Mango

Hello Lovelies! Well, I'm a touch late with this post! I totally forgot that today was a chemo day for my mom, so I was gone for the day. I'll make it for it with another post today, since I have so many awesome pretties to share!

Today I have a polish from an ultra-awesome brand, Delush Polish. I have loved Delush Polish since I first saw swatches of the Downtown A-List Collection, but since I'm on a tight budget I've had to just sit and wait and lust after these babies online. Last week I received news that I was lucky enough to swatch some Delushies for you, and let me tell you guys...I was doing a happy dance!

You may recognize Delush Polish as the brand that Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child recently shared on Instagram!  Don't worry, I'll be sharing that particular Delushie too!

Today's Delushie is called "It Takes Two To Mango (ITTTM for short!), from the Bombastic Summer Love Collection. This polish is a gorgeous Mango color with soft shimmer, and it is just amazing! This polish was already on my wishlist, but IRL it is....just wow. I'll admit photographing this color accurately is tough, since it's such a soft, yet vibrant shade. IRL it has almost a champagne type of shimmer combined with that luscious mango color. But enough babbling! Let's have a look!

This is 3 thin coats of It Takes Two To Mango, with topcoat (Note: the slight bubbling seen here was due my base coat not liking the giant fan that my hubby had stuck right behind my polish table, and not the polish.. You can bet I fixed that!):

So beautiful!!! That shimmer is just fabulous! And this color is the perfect blend of vibrant yet not overbearing. I knew that I would love this color, but I am so in love with this that I have yet to remove it! I'll have to in a few minutes, since it's swatching time, but I'll be sad.

ITTTM's formula was just fabulous. It is Indie thick, yet not too thick to work with and not gloppy at all. I did add a few drops of thinner due to the fan fiasco, but if you're polishing away from high speed winds, you won't need it. Application was perfection with no dragging or balding, fast dry time and high shine finish. I did use top coat here, but in all honestly this polish was just as shiny without it. As I mentioned before, the bubbling has nothing to do with this polish - the fan is to blame there. It's been in the high 90's to 100 degrees here, and my husband hates that I get cool quickly while he's still sweltering and likes to blast that fan!

After trying It Takes Two To Mango, I must order the rest of the Bombastic Summer Love Collection! This baby was just too awesome to pass up the others - I must have them all!!!!! I have a couple of glitter Delushies to show you starting this afternoon, and I cannot wait! Get out your drool cups, ladies, cause you *will* be drooling!

You can find It Takes Two To Mango and all of Delush Polish's creations at DelushPolish.com. Full size bottles sell for $8.95, minis $4.50. You can also grab the entire Bombastic Summer Love Collection (all 6 polishes) for $48.00 full size, or $25 for minis. You can also follow Delush polish on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for re-stock info, new releases, swatches and more!

What's you take on It Takes Two To Mango? Do you have a fave Delushie?

I shall return later with glittery Delushie Goodness so be sure to check back.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
