Mentality- The Restock Madness Collection Part 2

-Press Sample
Happy Weekend Everyone!!  The sun is finally shinning here after about 2 weeks of rain!  Yay!!  I have more polishes from Mentality's Restock Madness Collection to share with you today.  I posted three from this collection here and now I have four more...

Out of Stock:



Out of Stock has a sheer green jelly base packed full of purple, silver & green micro glitter and random larger yellow hex glitter.  I really like this color combo and the formula was great!  I used two coats of Out of Stock followed by top coat.

Server Crash:



Server Crash has a really pretty sheer yellow jelly base that contains micro blue, silver, & yellow glitter and larger sparse red hex glitter.  Again, I used two coats, then top coat.

Limited Edition:



Limited Edition has a red-pink jelly base with red, green & silver micro glitter and larger gunmetal gray larger hex glitter.  Limited Edition reminds me of a Christmas Polish! I'll have to pull this out again in December!!  Limited Edition has a more textured finish, so I probably should have used two coats of top coat instead of one.  So pretty!!

Understocked:



I love the combo of blue and brown, so Understocked is my favorite of this bunch!!  It has a sheer jelly aqua base that contains micro blue, brown, and silver glitters and larger brown hex glitter.  You don't see brown glitter in polishes too often, so I'm in love with Understocked! I used two coats once again followed by top coat!

**The entire Restock Madness Collection can be purchased here for $38.50, or individual bottles are only $6 each!!!**

A few random polishes from SpaRitual

Hey Guys!  SpaRitual has been releasing some intriguing collections lately and I was able to purchase these polishes at cost, so I chose a handful that really caught my eye..

Comfort:



Comfort is from the new Share Collection for Fall 2013.  Comfort is a really beautiful polish that's perfect for autumn.  It has a sheer olive base with pretty gold shimmer.  I used three coats of Comfort in the above pics.

Kindness:



Kindness is from the Reflect Collection for Summer 2013.  I'm in love with this polish!!  It has a pumpkin-orange base packed full of golden yellow flecks!  This color is more suitable for Fall, but it's gorgeous regardless of the season.  I used two coats of Kindness, but I really could have gotten away with just one.  It kinda dries matte, too. Yay for another stunning orange!!

Burst:



Burst is from the special edition Laugh Collection.  Burst contains raspberry pink glitters and micro silver glitters all in a subtle pink jelly base.  Burst has a great formula that's totally buildable!  Pictured above is three generous coats of Burst.  Only one coat of top coat was required to smooth everything out.. which was a pleasant surprise!!

Nicole by OPI Tink Collection

-Press Sample
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!  Hope you're enjoying your week!!  I'm excited about today's post because all the polishes I have to show you are gorgeous CREAMS!  I'm a huge fan of cream polishes and each of these are amazing!!!  These four polishes are from NOPI's Tink Collection.. 


Sweet on Pete:



Sweet on Pete is a chartreuse cream that totally reminds me of  OPI's "Did it on 'em" from the Nicki Minaj Collection.  Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this color, but formula-wise.. Sweet on Pete is perfect!  I  used two coats in the above pics..

Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary:



Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary is such a pretty tangerine cream!!  I'm just loving orange this summer and this one is amazing!!  Flawless formula, perfect color!!  I used two coats of Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary.

Tink's in the Pink:



I love Tink's in the Pink too!!  I'm sure that comes as no surprise because pink creams are my favorite!  I know this one is supposed to be considered "fuchsia," but it's not quite that dark.  Regardless, it's gorgeous and I used two coats for full opacity.

Half Charming Half Alarming:



Half Charming Half Alarming is a coral that leans much more red than orange.  I consider it a "tomato-red."  The formula with this one is a bit thinner than the other three I've shown, but after three coats, full opacity is reached and the finish of Half Charming Half Alarming is so shiny and smooth!

July 4th Water Marble

Happy 4th of July to my American followers!!  I finally had some time to create another water marble!!  I haven't worn one in such a long time!!

-Press Sample
A nice white base is required for most water marbles, and I used this one from Born Pretty.  It's a brand called Sweet Color and it works really well in marbles:


You can purchase this white creme (plus many other colors) from Sweet Color HERE.  If you use my code ZR5X31, you'll receive 10% off your entire order.  Born Pretty carries tons of awesome nail art products!!




Along with the white creme from Sweet Color, I also used NOPI Be Ama-zing! and Challenge Red-y to create this patriotic marble.  All of the colors worked well together and I'm really pleased with the final result!!  I kinda wish I hadn't added the dots because they kinda make things a bit too "busy" for my liking.  LOL!!

Hope you're all enjoying your holiday!  Did you create any Patriotic Manis??

OPI Neon Revolution Mini Pack

-Press Sample
Hi Everyone!!  Anyone a neon polish lover??  I sure am and I just love this set from OPI!!!

included in this set are: a white base coat, Don't Say it- Yellow it!, The Time is Pow, Pink Outside the Box, Blue it Out of Proportion, and top coat
Don't Say it- Yellow it!:



Don't Say it- Yellow it! is a bright lemonade yellow.  The white base coat is included in these packs because it allows the neon color to really "pop".  I used two coats of white base and two coats of Don't Say it- Yellow it! followed by top coat in the above pics.  This is an awesome lemon yellow neon polish!!

The Time is Pow!:



I love The Time is Pow!  It's such a pretty bright tangerine neon orange!  The formula with this one was the best of the bunch.  Neon polishes are thinner than normal cream polishes and this one was the most opaque.  The finish was really shiny with The Time is Pow!  I almost didn't apply the top coat.  Pictured above is the white base, two coats of The Time is Pow!, then top coat.

Pink Outside the Box:



Pink Outside the Box is a gorgeous strawberry pink neon.  This one dries more matte than the others.  You can apply these polishes without the white base, but it will require more coats to reach opacity.  Again, I used the white base, two coats of Pink Outside the Box, then top coat.

Blue it out of Proportion:




Blue it out of Proportion is such a beautiful shade of blue, but the formula with this one gave me the most trouble.  It was really sheer for a blue this dark (you can see some of the white base on my middle finger still).  I used three coats of Blue it out of Proportion over the white base followed by top coat.
