The Holo Hookup September 2018 | Ch-Ch-Changes

Press Sample of The Holo Hookup September 2018 | Ch-Ch-Changes The months are seriously flying by! How are we already moving into Fall? I was playing the new World of Warcraft expansion and the game booted everyone for an update and now we can’t get back in… so it’s time to do a post! We’re going to be looking at The Holo Hookup for September 2018! As always, I’ll do a quick rundown for those new to The Holo Hookup! This is an all holographic box and each month it will have 3 constant indie makers in it – Glisten & Glow, DIFFERENT dimension and Cupcake Polish. The guest maker this month is actually fairly new to me. I know the brand, but this is the first or second time I’ve gotten to try them… and it’s Spell Polish! Each shade in the box has holographic elements of some sort in it. It may…

Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection

Press Sample of the Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection I had some plans today to get so much done.. and then the power went out. I have about an hour before I’ll be offline, so I’m trying to knock a few out before I go. First up this afternoon is the Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection! This collection is a follow up to the initial collection that launched in February of last year. This is a much softer version though! Usually I leave my lighting alone, but for these photos I used tissue paper to diffuse the light a bit. With my normal lighting it was darkening the polishes too much, so they were far from accurate. That’s why the polish looks “softer” – it’s because they are! Let’s jump in! Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself is a…

August 2018 Indie Pickup | Musicals

Press Samples of the August 2018 Indie Pickup Musicals Good morning! I’m up bright and early (for me) and I have the launch month at Indie Pickup to share with you! This was a little hectic for me since it was the first month, but overall – I think it’s going to be fun! Here is the August 2018 Indie Pickup with a theme of Musicals (yup, just like Polish Pickup!) I am the Blogger of the Month this month for Indie Pickup, but there are more items that will be in shop. It’s the first month and after Polish Pickup ended, not every maker had time to get their item to me (first launch.. it happens) but the items I did get were a nice variety. Okay, so what’s Indie Pickup? If you are familiar with Polish Pickup, then you know it kind of blew up in the last…

Night Owl Lacquer August Creme Of The Month | Wild Summer Winds

Press Sample of Night Owl Lacquer August Creme Of The Month | Wild Summer Winds Night Owl Lacquer has a new monthly polish she’ll be doing… and it’s all about the CREMES! Instead of random monthly polishes with a wide range, they will always be a creme. So today we’re looking at the first shade – Wild Summer Winds. First off I’m going to apologize for my photos. Apparently to kick this off, Night Owl Lacquer decided to go with one of the hardest shades to photograph. This particular shade is harder than most neons I’ve received. It’s teal… but for photos it shows up a muted seafoam… and I suck at photoshop. This is my long winded way of saying my photos aren’t color accurate. I tried. I really tried. But… it didn’t happen. Let’s take a look. I’ll describe it and say what the difference is in person…

Don Deeva August 2018 Releases

Press Sample of the Don Deeva August 2018 Releases Good morning! We’ve got a lot of things coming to the blog this weekend. Next week starts the Back To School insanity, so I don’t know how much time I’ll have for posts next week. I actually have today off work because I wanted to spend the final Friday of Summer vacation with my little lovebug before he starts 7th grade. We’re going to be seeing The Meg this afternoon and then we’ll be heading to either the bowling alley or ghost golf. Ghost golf is an indoor mini golf place with “scary” stuff popping out at you (it’s really not that scary, but Jacob jumps easily so .. it’s kind of hilarious) This morning I have some of the Don Deeva August 2018 Releases to share. In the Don Deeva August 2018 Releases we have 2 Don Deeva Group customs, 1 exclusive…
