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!

Holo Goodness from BG Cosmetics - Holy Balls!

 Hiya lovelies! Happy Tuesday! It's been a busy day here at KLK, hence the afternoon post. My daughter needed an updated vaccination today, so we were busy handling that. She was a trooper, although she did squeal. I don't blame her. Despite having 18 tattoos and 14 piercings, I still can't handle shots or blood draws. Not a big fan of needles unless it's on my own terms. 

We did find out that my brother-in-law is going to be ok. He had a stint inserted this morning since he had an artery that was 99% blocked, and he will be going home tomorrow.  Very happy that my mom made him go to the doctor when she did! Mom had her CT Scan this morning and now we have to wait a few days for the results. Keep your fingers crossed that it's something not related to that evil lung cancer. But let's move on to some awesome polish! 

 We all know that I am a huge fan of BG Cosmetics. Definitely no secret there!  I remember when Ketlyn had maybe 10 polishes listed in her store! It's been so awesome to watch BG Cosmetics grow. Ketlyn is always coming up with new Collections, each one more awesome than the last.  Recently she made the jump into Holographics, and let me tell ya...they are amazing. When I first saw the swatches my jaw hit the floor. These holos are incredibly intense and the rainbow is visible in most light. Impressive, right? I've already posted Nocturnal Goddess and the unnamed Green Holo (click the names to go to the original posts), but today I am sharing my very favorite from this collection. 

Holy Balls! is a purple linear holographic polish. I know you're asking yourself "why is that polish called "Holy Balls"!??". Well, when Ketlyn posted the first pics of these polishes, our beloved Sammi (from Glitznglammer) was so astounded she could only say "Holy Balls!!". I'll admit it...I laughed so hard.  I think everyone on that post agreed that Holy Balls! would be a great name for this polish, and so Ketlyn took the plunge and Holy Balls! was born. I know this isn't a name that everyone will find as fabulous as I do..my sense of humor is rather crass and outrageous.  But if you aren't into the name, take a peek at the polish itself. I guarantee you'll catch yourself saying Holy *insert random word here*. 

This is 3 coats of Holy Balls! over Glisten and Glow Stuck on Blu base coat in indirect sunlight. 

 

























Just look at that holo! *swoons* The last photo is a rather blurry shot, but it's a little rainbow on the base of one of my nails as I was packing up my photo equipment. Check out all the colors in there! WOW!!!

Holy Balls! Is absolute holo perfection. The formula is awesome - thicker than your usual holos but not too thick to control. No thickening during use and no dragging or balding, which is always impressive with holos. Application was a breeze - this girl applied so nicely that I seriously could've kept on painting for days. HB dries to a perfectly smooth and super shiny finish as well, so if you choose to skip top coat, you're not missing out one bit. Dry time is very fast as well, although I sandwich my holos anyway. I really don't have a negative thing to say about this polish!

If you're a holo fan, you NEED these. No doubt about it. The Holographics Collection is not yet available, but is scheduled for a May release (I believe - could be earlier). You'll be able to grab these for about $11 each at BG Cosmetics on Etsy. Make sure to follow BGCosmetics on Facebook for updates on this collection as well re-stock info and more upcoming collections! Woohoo! You can also save 15% on your order by using code KimbersKorner at checkout. 

Since KLK recently hit 500 followers, I will be giving away the entire BG Cosmetics Holographic Collection! The giveaway will start on 5/1, so make sure you check back! 

What do you think of Holy Balls!? Are you as excited about this collection as I am?

Be sure to stay tuned for some awesome Polish TBH and more ABC Challenge fun tomorrow! 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
