Double Review: "Ravenclaw" & "Slytherin" from Above the Curve

Hello Readers:

I have two polishes to show to you today. Both are from Above the Curve's Harry Potter inspired collection, and as a huge Harry Potter fan we know I'm over the moon for this collection. I honestly love that Shawn and Angel have put their own spin on things rather than the straight out obvious color choices seen in the movies, not that I mind collections like that (I own some like that) its just nice to see a new take on things.

First up is the house polish for Ravenclaw.

"Ravenclaw" is deep blue polish with green-blue-purple-pink color shifting micro glitter and navy micro glitter and a linear holo.

The sun peeked out for a minute finally

 

I think the overcast weather is here to stay, but at least I get little intervals of sunlight. I had some trouble capturing the awesome colorshifting glitter but I think the more shaded photos at least give you a glimpse of it. The holo is definitely intense. Everything about this polish is a win! I love love love it! I had no application issues, I used two coats of polish over a clear base coat, no top coat.

 

 

Next up is the house polish for Slytherin.

 

"Slytherin" is an olive green to gold duochrome with green shimmer and scattered holo.

At first I wasn't sure I would like "Slytherin" because I'm usually not a fan of chrome polishes, but this one is just fabulous! I REALLY didn't want to take it off! I found that the gold duochrome seemed to be more of bronzy gold but I still love it, and I'm a huge fan of scattered holos. I had no application issues either, two coats of polish over a clear base coat and no top coat. Also, apologies for the water droplets in the photos I thought I had dried off my hands entirely before photos but apparently not.

 

Seriously everything about these polishes are fabulous and I could never stop staring at my nails with either color! Whether your an Harry Potter fan or not I think this colors definitely need to be on your "must have" lists.

If you'd like to check out Above the Curve's Harry Potter inspired collection or just their wonderful polishes in general you can check out their Etsy Shop. Also, don't forget that not only do they have great polishes they also donate $1 of every bottle to charity. ^_^

 

Until next time.

Review: "Heart Of Gold" from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics

Hello Readers:

The week is flying by, September is almost over. Fall is definitely starting to take hold. I need to put away my summer clothes, and take out my winter ones.

Today, I've got a lovely polish from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics.

"Heart of Gold" is a soft pink to gold duochrome polish with gold shimmer.

 



Such a great polish! I'm not really one for duo/multichrome type polishes, but when I saw this one in Emily's shop it called my name. I had to have it, and am so glad I did! This polish is beautiful! I think it's a great shade to transition from warm to cold weather (or vice versa). I used two coats of polish over a clear base coat, and a clear top coat. I had no application issues.

If you'd like to have this lovely polish you can get it (and other wonderful polishes) from the Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Etsy shop. Currently the website is down for maintenance, but it should be back up by Saturday.

Until next time.

Review: "Good Life" from Enchanted Polish

Hello Readers:

I'm sorry this post didn't get put up yesterday, as I said on my FB page, my internet crapped out on me yesterday so I was unable to get this up. Today's post feature's a polish from Enchanted Polish's Go West Collection.

"Good Life" is a bronze to gold duo chrome holo with red shimmer.

Full Sunlight

In The Shade

 

I know this kind of shade isn't everyone's cup of tea, but boy is this polish enchanting (no pun intended haha)! I think this is such a great shade for autumn, and I think I'll be wearing it to the hubby's office xmas party this year (if it ends up going with my outfit). "Good Life" went on beautifully, no application issues. I used two coats of polish over a clear base, no top coat.

 

Enchanted Polish is currently out of stock of this color, but if you sign up for their newsletter on their website you can keep afloat of their next restocks. There are also random restocks from time to time.

 

Until next time.
