Hello Lovelies! It's another Monday and I'm already feeling sluggish. Thankfully I have coffee, that miraculous liquid that keeps me upright. I'll be needing it today!

First of all, there is only about 13 hours left in the Pure Nail Oil™ July sale. Pure is currently on sale for 30% off ($14.99) and will not go on sale again until January 2014. If you've been wanting to try it out, now is the time! I've also teamed up with Ana from Simple Nail Art Tips, and Leticia from Teen Polish Junkie for a Get Naked Challenge! you can find all the details in my original post here. Come on and join us! You can do the challenge anytime during the month of July, so don't feel like you have to do it right now.

Today I have an awesome glitter topper from Love, Angeline Polish, one of my fave new Indie Brands.  I had been talking with Natosha, the creator of Love, Angeline, and she was kind enough to send me a surprise package with a few of her polishes to share with you all! Such a sweet gesture! This baby is from her I Love the 80's and is called Wham! I'm sure you get the name.

Wham! is an awesome mix of neon green, black, and watermelon colored matte glitters in a clear base. I paired this one with Catrice Meet Me At Coral Island, a beautiful Coral Creme. This combo really reminds me of watermelons! Love it!

This is 2 coats fo Wham! over Meet Me At Coral Island, with top coat:

Doesn't that combo remind  you of watermelons?? I love it! So bright and happy! This is such a summery glitter.

Wham!'s formula was excellent, with no glopping or thickening during use. Application was easy peasy with no glitter fishing, dabbing on glitters, or clumping on the nail. Dry time was quick, however Wham! does dry just slightly textured so I do recommend top coat to smooth things out.

I am really loving this polish! I have some more from Love, Angeline that I'll be sharing with you over the next couple of weeks and I am so excited! I love finding great Indie Brands, and Love, Angeline is certainly awesome.

You can check out Love, Angeline's creations at Love, Angeline on Big Cartel. The Summer Rainbows Collection is currently on sale for $4 (this collection includes a bunch of gorgeous neons, so don't miss out!)- 1/2 price!. You can also follow Love, Angeline on Facebook and Instagram for sales info, new releases and swatches.

What do you think of Wham! Are you a fan of neon glitters?

I'll be back this afternoon with a beauty from Fandom Cosmetics, and tomorrow is my first Try It Out Tuesday, so be sure to check back!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Twenty Seven Polish - Picnic

Good Morning Lovelies!! Happy Caturday! Charlie says hello, and that she requires donations of catnip and tuna fish. She's currently making kitteh muffins (kneading) on my bath robe, in a complete trance. It must be terribly hard to be a kitteh, huh? It's also Small Business Saturday, so be sure to spend your hard earned $$ at small businesses today!

Today I have another awesome Twenty Seven Polish to share! Can you tell I am addicted to these? This gem is called Picnic, and is a mind-blowing mix of Pink, Green, and Black Square, Round, and microglitters in a clear base.  Lisa says it reminds her of Watermelon Laffy Taffy (yum!) and I have to agree! Honestly, this is one of my fave combos ever. I'm still wearing it, and refuse to take it off until I have to!

Picnic is so incredibly vibrant and beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. This is one that I may have to re-swatch when my new light tent and lighting set-up comes in. I cannot stop staring at my nails! If you're a fan of ultra-fun unique glitters, you NEED this!

For these photos I started with a base of Essie Off The Shoulder, A vibrant, medium pink. Then I added one coat (seriously, this is a single coat!) of Picnic, topped it with a oat of Gelous and a coat of SV, and sat back and oooohed and aaaaawed at the results. For some reason my camera insists on making this a bit more peach than IRL.

I really wish I had my light tent - this combo is so vibrant and yummy IRL. Kind of makes me want to lick my nails since it really does look alot like Watermelon Laffy Taffy! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

Formula:
Picnic has the usual thick Indie formula, which I absolutely love in a glitter. Really makes grabbing those little glitters easy. No thickening during use, and no glopping or gooping.

Application:
Picnic is by far one of the nicest glitters I have ever used. This flowed freely, evenly, and I didn't have to double-dip or fish for glitter. No hand placing or dabbing, this glitter almost applied itself. It is one of the least gritty glitters as well, but I still needed a coat of Gelous to really smooth it out. Dry time was impressively as well.

I am simply head over heels for this one. The color combination is so bright and happy, and the layering possibilities are numerous. I definitely see this in heavy rotation on my nails. I really wish you could see this baby in person! It's so much fun!

Twenty Seven Polish can be found on Etsy or by visiting http://www.etsy.com/store/twentysevenpolish. All Twenty Seven Polish is 3 free, and are available for $7 per full size bottle, as well as $3 per mini bottle. Lisa also runs multiple mini deals, and Twenty Seven Polish ships worldwide (just message Lisa for details!). Be sure to use code 27WIN at checkout for 20% off your order (thank you Lisa!)!!

What do you think of Picnic? Would you rock this look in Winter?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
