It Girl IG103 Stamping Plate Review Part 2

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I have the second half of the review of the new stamping plate IG103 from It Girl.  It Girl is based out of Tacoma, Washingtong (my home state!) and has the 3 initial plates on their store. One thing I noticed first off is that the surface of the plates isn't as reflective as others, which I prefer as it makes taking photos a LOT easier!  I was able to capture each image and get a macro of each.

Now let's get to some manis!

Super Nails: LDR Thermal Collection Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I'm sharing a fun thermal collection inspired by Lana Del Rey songs from Super Nails.  So if you are a fan of thermals or Lana Del Rey, this is the collection for you!  (And if you love both, then this collection is perfect for you.)  One thing that was new for me to experience with this collection was thermal glitter.  Yes, that is right, you read that correctly....THERMAL GLITTER!  At first I was apprehensive about it....I mean, can it really work?  YES...YES IT CAN!

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is my favorite of the three, Blue Jeans.  Blue Jeans is a blue-purple (blurple) glitter crelly that changed to a soft magenta when warm.  It contains blue hexes, teal diamonds, red, pink and turquoise small hexes & pink butterflies.  This thermal was very sensitive and I didn't need to use cold or hot water to get the transition photos.  While I swatched the other polishes, I kept this on upside down to encourage the larger glitters to move to the top of the bottle and when I went to swatch it, there was no glitter fishing.  Formula was easy to work with and applied nice.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

Next is a glitter topper called Brooklyn Baby which contains thermal glitter.  The change is subtle, but the peach matte hexes change to white when warm.  Brooklyn Baby also contained iridescent teal, magenta and purple glitters to really make it sparkle.  The thermal glitter was also sensitive and all photos were taken with no warm/cold assistance other than room temperature and body temperature.  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on over Rimmel Black Satin and topped with a shiny top coat.

Gods and Monsters is a plum crelly with small pink hex glitters and black stars and when it's warm it changes to a pink.  Formula was easy to work with and applied evenly.  There was zero glitter fishing  for the stars.  This polish wasn't as sensitive as the other 2 and did need a little thermal assistance with an ice pack to get my tips to turn plum.  I love the accent of the black stars.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

The last thermal is called Diet Mountain Dew.  Diet Mountain Dew is a dark forest green glitter crelly that shifts to a lighter green when warm.  It contains green hex glitter in a few sizes and shades.  This polish was sensitive as well and required no temperature assistance.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com

Loves: I love the sensitivity and colors of Blue Jeans and the butterflies are the perfect touch.  I also loved my first experience with thermal glitter.  I am now intrigued by thermal glitter and want to play with it more!  I also love the green shades of Diet Mountain Dew.  Super Nails products are also all 5-free, so they don't contain 5 of the harsh chemicals that can be found in polish.

Wishes:  I love this collection!  I almost wish it was a full CD full of songs....because I would love to see what KC (owner of Super Nails) could come up with!  I'm glad I did pick up some of her other thermals...which you shall see later!

Super Nails New Releases Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Press Sample*
Today I am sharing four new glitter toppers from Super Nails.  Super Nails has a ton of new glitter toppers recently released, and there is something for everyone.  As with all of Super Nails polishes, they are 5-free and cruelty free.

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Conversation Hearts, which is the perfect glitter topper for Valentine's Day!  Conversation Hearts contains matte glitter in the shape of hearts, hexes and micro glitter in yellow, light blue and pink.  It is shown here over Dashing from Lavish topped with shiny top coat (1st, 2nd and 4th photos) and matte top coat (3rd photos).

Next up is Diamonds Are Berry Gorgeous, a bright glitter topper that contains circles and diamonds.  Diamonds Are Berry Gorgeous has purple, teal and magenta glitters.  I have it shown here over a gradient of Jenna Hipp's I Surf With Boys and I Cast A Spell On Blue topped with shiny top coat.

Something Blue is a cute glitter topper with light blue and blue hexes and squares in two sizes.  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on over a gradient of Purity from Virtuous, Winter Clouds from Johas Love Nail Polish and Ciate Talent Scout topped with shiny top coat.

The last polish I have to share is called Pot of Gold.  Pot of Gold has large gold circles, hexes and micro glitter and a random assortment of green, blue and red glitter.  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on with glitter placement of the circles over Vivacious from Lavish Polish with shiny top coat.

Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com

Loves: I would have to say that Conversation Hearts is my favorite in this group, but I also really loved the dimension of Pot of Gold and the color pop of Diamonds Are Berry Gorgeous.  I am in love with these color and shape combinations.  And of course all Super Nails polishes are 5-free so they don't contain any of the nasties that can be found in polish.

Wishes:  I wish for all of you to go check out her store!  I guarantee you will find one that is perfect for you!!

Super Nails Feline Glitter Topper Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Press Sample*
Today I am sharing a few glitter toppers from Super Nails.  KC, owner of Super Nails has quite a few new releases and they have fun glitter shapes and color combinations.  As with all of Super Nails polishes, they are 5-free and cruelty free.  I received 7 glitter toppers and combined these 3 together for a blog review because they are all feline related!

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Me-ow! a fun glitter topper with leopard spot glitters!  Me-ow! contains silver and gold holographic squares, hexes in two sizes and micro glitter as well as leopard spots in gold, silver and black.  This polish is very versatile and works well with any color undie.  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on with leopard spot glitter placement over Liquid Frosting Pretty Pink Bikini topped with shiny top coat.

Next is Purple Kittens, a cute glitter topper with kitty heads!  Purple Kittens contains purple circles, rings, micro glitter and kitty head glitter.  The little kitty heads are adorable!  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on with glitter placement of all chunky glitter over Ciate Sugar Plum and Apple and Custard topped with shiny top coat.

The last glitter topper I have to share today is called Jungle Nights.  Jungle Nights contains black hexes in a few sizes and squares as well as an assortment of other colors in squares and hexes and of course some perfect white leopard spots that really make the glitter topper to a new level.  I dabbed on 2 coats with glitter placement of the spots over Drip Drop Nail Paint #2000 and Liquid Kandi Beach Ball topped with shiny top coat.

Shiny Top Coat: Diamante Glam Hi-Gloss Top Coat from Dainty Digits

Loves: I adore cats (I have a couple at home) so I can't pick a favorite of these three polishes.  They are all so fun and purr-fect!  And of course all Super Nails polishes are 5-free so they don't contain any of the nasties that can be found in polish.

Wishes: I now want all the kitty related polishes!!!
