Summer Ready Swatch Spam!

(**Press Sample**)

Hello my loves! 

  Today I have some swatch-y spam for you guys. I've had these pics sitting in my folders for some time now.... So I figured, why not do a spam post?

 These shades are all kinda screaming Summer to me. What are some of your favorite Summer shades? Or do you not really follow seasonal colors? Me, I kinda wear what I want, when I want. But I do tend to gravitate to Spring and Summer shades because they are always so bright and happy. 

 All of these swatches are shown with a top coat. 

LVX Nail Color in Mynt

 Mynt by LVX is a lovely, clean Mint creme. I found the formula on this shade to be AMAZING. Normally, these types of Pastel-ish, minty greens can be a pain in the butt to apply. That was not the case with this beauty. I did Three easy coats of Mynt for my swatch. 

LVX Nail Color in Deco

 Deco is an amazing shade of Melon-y Coral creme. I knew I would love this shade the second I unpacked it! I am a sucker for these types of colors. This shade is insanely flattering and easy to wear. I used Three thin and easy coats of Deco for my swatch. 

Zoya Gaia

 Gaia, Gaia, Gaia... This color.. Ok.. So this color is BEAUTIFUL, stunning really... A Pearly, shimmering White with the most perfect Golden shimmer running though it. Bridal perfection... That said, this color has a horrid formula! I found it to be patchy and uneven.. I needed Four thin coats to get it to look even and opaque. Maybe layering it could remedy that problem, but it could also ruin that squishy effect... I suppose the color payoff is definitely worth the work I put into the application though. 

Essie Tart Deco

 Tart Deco is a vivid, hot Melon-Coral shade. This shade is a more vibrant cousin to LVX Deco. The formula on this color is a little patchy, but not problematic. I used Three thin coats for my swatch. 

Zoya Sari

 Sari is a lovely, nude Pink jelly. Colors like these are great for French manis, or just to add a healthy glow to a nakey-look. I used Three thin coats for my swatch. 

LVX Nail Color in Indigo Bleu

 Indigo Bleu is a deep Violet-Blue creme. This shade is intenesely pigmented and very easy to apply. I could have almost done with one coat. I used Two thin coats for my swatch. 

Zoya Josie and Zoya Destiny

 Zoya Josie is a beautiful Grass Green creme that applies like a dream. I used Two easy coats of Josie. For this look I did an accent in Zoya PixieDust in Destiny. Destiny is a hot Coral texture laced with strong Golden shimmer. I used Three thin coats of Destiny. 

  Any faves in this bunch? I am really in love with Gaia. I hate the formula on that color, but my gosh it is just beautiful! I also really loved Mynt and Deco by LVX. Though I must admit, this Summer has turned into the "Summer of the Textures" for me. I've been wearing Textures non-stop since they all started coming out! 

 What have you been wearing lately?

Indie Spammy- Spam!!

(**Press Sample**)

Good afternoon my darlings! 

  Look at me getting a post up!!! I hope you guys have missed me as I have missed you. A few days ago I asked you guys on Facebook if you were interested in seeing some indie spam and the answer was a big 'ol Yes. SO spam you I shall.

Lac Attack Hogwarts over OCC Power Plant 

  Hogwarts is an awesome mix of small Blue, Silver, Orange and Green glitters suspended in a clear base. I love the unique blend of colors and the pretty, sparkling effect it creates when layered.

Colores de Carol Hero in Disguise 

 Hero in Disguise is a muted Grey jelly with very subtle Blue-Violet shimmer accented by Marigold and Coral hex particles as well as Black stars. This is a really cute polish, and I loved wearing it, But it was not the easiest to work with, and I had to do quite a lot of fishing to get the glitter pieces on the nail. I used Three coats for my mani.  

R. Hobby Cosmetics Holo Berry over SindiePOP White Gold 

  Holo-Berry is a blend of small Raspberry and Black glitter suspended in a clear base.

Twee & Honey Glittertits over Picture Polish Kryptonite

  Glittertits (LOLOLOLOL) is a mix of chunky Silver holo hexes and smaller Silver holo particles suspended in a clear base. This is a fantastic topper for just about any shade.

KBShimmer Where my Peeps At?

 Where my Peeps At? is an adorable, soft Yellow jelly with small Pink, yellow and green glitter accented by Circle glitters in Gold, Green, red and Pink. This polish is just TOO CUTE!!! I am really liking the Circle glitters, they add something new and unexpected.

  I am still working on getting better on my end. I have not been extremely well, but I am staying as positive as possible. I have many beauties to play with and I am really wanting to feel better so I can dive back into my stash. Truth is I can no longer downplay how unwell I've been feeling. I had been working really hard at "mind over matter" but lately my body is winning. On a positive note, I am keeping track of my ideas in a notebook and when I feel well again there will be SO much awesome happening!!!

 Do you adore any of these?

T-t-t-Twee & Honey Swatch Time!

Monday, my nemesis, we meet again.... 

  So I saw this meme a few days ago.. The quote was something along the lines of "January is like the Monday of the Year". I totally feel like that right now lol! There is SO much I want to do and I keep forgetting that I have a whole year ahead of me to do it lol!! 

 Today I have a bunch of awesome Twee & Honey polishes to show you. I've had these swatches stashed away for a while. I figured since I am doing a bit of "Winter Cleaning" of my folders that I might as well post these sooner, rather than later. Miss Cleo sent me A LOT of her babies so you will be seeing some more Twees in the near future as well. 

  To see some close-ups just continue reading! ♥.

Twee & Honey Zaghareet over Sation I'm with the Bandana

 Zaghareet is a crazy, awesome chunky blend of Pewter, prismatic Silver and smaller Prismatic Golden hexes suspended in a micro shimmer base. This polish is PACKED with big chunky pieces and there is no fishing required. I was worried the application would be difficult with all the big pieces but it was quite the contrary. The big pieces came out with no issues, the glitter spread was good and all the bits lay flat. I'm with the Bandanna was the perfect base for this shade as they matched pretty close and it looked like I was wearing Zaghareet by itself. I don't think I would try to wear Zaghareet by itself because it is so chunky. You can get a better grasp of all the bits and pieces when you put it over something else.

Twee & Honey Pineapple Express

 Pineapple Express is a beautiful primary Yellow creme-jelly. I found the formula on this shade to be really easy to work with. I will say that is a little "thick and sticky", but in a good way. Weird right? Yellows can be so temperamental. I can't quite describe it. Anyhow, ultimately I had no issues with application and it only took to easy coats to reach opacity. Someone with long nails might need one more coat to cover the "visible nail line" (VNL).

Twee & Honey Magpie over Barielle Big Apple Red

 Magpie is a neat blend of varying sizes of Black and White Hexes accented by smaller Teal hexes suspended in a clear base. I pretty much adored how this looked and was tempted to stop swatching and just put this on all 10 nails lol. I love the White glitters that Cleo uses in her mixes, they are different from everything else that is out there.

Twee & Honey Sphagnum Moss over Color Club Editorial

 Sphagnum Moss is a dense blend of rich, Emerald Green, small hexes accented by touches of Gold. This is quite the fabulous blend and once again I found myself wishing that I could have actually worn this. The glitter spread on Sphagnum Moss is fantastic as it is packed with just the right amount of sparkle.

Twee & Honey Yalla Habibeti over China Glaze Running in Circles. 

  So, even my husband commented on this photo. He literally stopped what he was doing and stared at it and said "That is amazing". Yalla Habibeti is a dreamy blend of small Gold prismatic particles suspended in a light honey toned base. The gold particles in this are delicate, almost flake like. Once again I could not get enough of how my nails looked.  

Twee & Honey Hipster Zombie

 I adore this polish based on the name alone! That said, it is also a fantastic color. I read somewhere that Seafoam is supposed to be a big color this coming Spring. Enter Hipster Zombie, a beautiful, delicate shade of squishy Seafoam green creme-jelly. The formula on this shade was really nice surprise as I was expecting it to be an opaque creme. You guys know how much I love me a good squishy polish!! I did Three easy coats for my swatch. 

Twee & Honey First World Purple over Nicole by O.P.I Always a Silver Lining 

 First world Purple is a great blend of Purple, Fuchsia and Silver hexes in varying sizes suspended in a clear base. Once again this polish seems to have just the right ratio of everything making the application so easy. Have I told you guys about how much I love layering vivid glitters over Silver foils? The look is always SO neat! 

Twee & Honey Pinky Top Coat over Nicole by O.P.I Keeping up with Santa 

 This look was SO holiday and just pretty! Pinky Top Coat is a blend of Red, White, Silver and Pink glitters. They are all hex in varying sizes. This looked like Christmas Ornaments on my nails. I could not stop staring at the delicate White particles against my Velvety red base and the perfect Twinkles of Silver.

  I love me some Twee & Honey. The brand's creator is an amazing lady! IDK what kind of magic she has worked on these glitters but they all have such fantastic application and spread. I love that Twee & Honey has a variety of glitter toppers as well as full coverage jellies and creme polishes. Twee & Honey's prices range from $9.00 to $13.00 and can be found on http://tweeandhoney.com/. 

  I don't think I can pick faves but I am in awe of Yalla Habibeti, Sphagnum Moss and Zaghareet. ANDDD how adorable is Hipster Zombie?! Any faves for you in this batch of swatchies?
