Recent Haulage or Bottle Spam Porn!

Hey everyone, I thought I'd spam you guys with some pretty bottle shots. Feast your eyes on these babies...

Clusterfrak, Dirtball, Planetary Romance, Attack Ships on Fire

Takko Lacquer To Infinity and Beyond, Kiss the Sky, Jimi's Jacket

Kiss the Sky, Jimi's Jacket
Just look at that shimmer and sparkle! 

Jacob's Protection, Alice Had a Vision Again, Modern Romance, Chic Reloaded and OPI Goldeneye

MyTenFriends and Takko Lacquer are both new indie brands to me. Their polishes are stunningly beautiful. Like what you see in my pictures is nothing compared to how gorgeous they are in person. They are almost too pretty to use! I kind of just want to stare at them in the bottle forever. But seriously. When I unearthed Jimi's Jacket from my package, my heart almost stopped. The golden shimmer and flakes in this is just too pretty for words!!!! And the multi-chromatic shimmer of Kiss the Sky is hypnotizing.

The Essence and OPI I got from Ulta. I had a $5 off $10 coupon so I got all those polishes for $12 and change. Pretty good deal, if I do say so myself!!

You can visit MyTenFriends on Etsy here. The seller is really nice and friendly and ships quickly! I totally recommend checking her shop out.

Takko Lacquer is on Etsy here. Sheryl is a complete sweetheart as well! She restocks on Fridays. So sign up for email notifications if you want to get in on this!

That's all I have for you guys today. Thanks for stopping by!

Essence Blue Ray

Hey there! Today we have my very first Essence. Of course, I've seen swatches and heard all about this brand. But I think this brand is a little hard to get a hold of in the U.S.

Base coat: 1 coat of Julep Nail Therapy
Polish: 3 coats of Blue Ray
Top Coat: 1 coat of Seche Vite

Blue Ray is a shimmery blue with a very, and I mean VERY, subtle purple duo-chrome. I was disappointed in this polish because I had high expectations for the color shift. It looks blue most of the time and the purple barely peeks around the edges. It's still very pretty to look at, just not what I was expecting. I guess I prefer my duo-chromes/multi-chromes to pack a punch!

Formula-wise, I had no issues. It was a decent consistency and I didn't notice any pooling or dragging. I think it did need the 3 coats though, to be to my liking of opacity. Maybe I need to layer this over black. I probably will in the future.

I bought this polish from a blog sale. I think it was a limited edition but you could always check Ebay if you're really wanting this one!

Thanks for stopping by :)
