piCture pOlish - Festival

Hey guys,

So today I took my puppy to the vet to get her nails clipped, which she HATES, going to the vet makes me just know how my parents felt when they took me to get my boosters as a kid. She's currently in the corner pouting with her beef chew treat she got as a reward... yup I still feel bad.

So I love Picture Polish, it is one of my fave indie brands, so when I found this in my box of goodies from Melissa for Christmas I was stoked. This is a multi coloured flakie, of course it was a jerk to photograph. 
This is 2 coats over black.

Hey guys,

So on Tuesday I got back from an amazing trip to Palm Springs with my best friend and it was amazing we went to Disneyland and to the outlet malls, coming up in the next week or so I will have some polishes I got on my trip and the Disneyland inspired manicure.

This is a purple duochrome polish full of scatter holo glitter.
This is 2 coats.

Rainbow Honey - Pink Cloud

Hey guys,

So first off I'm going to point out I am not thrilled with how the two pinks in this manicure played off of each other, the blue flash in Popular doesn't play nice with Pink Cloud, oh well hindsight's 20/20 and all.

I probably could have built up Pink Cloud, I tried to do a glitter gradient but this was a lot more opaque than I expected it to be.
This was 2 coats on the ring & thumb, with a semi glitter gradient on the rest.

Enchanted Polish - Ice Castle

Hey guys,

A couple weeks ago I went and saw Frozen with my friend, first off AMAZING movie, loved it. So I thought it would be appropriate to wear an aptly named polish to go see it, of course one of my new Enchanted Polishes fit the bill PERFECTLY! 

Ice Castle is a blue/pink duochrome full of holo-y goodness.
This is two coats over black.

Rainbow Honey - Phoenix Down

Hey guys,

So I had these grand plans of "Oh this will be awesome! I will put the polish on and then make a phoenix outline and it will be SO COOL. Nope, looks ridiculous, however you guys know I'm not above showing you my bizarre mistakes.

I'm not sure how I really feel about this glitter topper. I'm sure I just really need to find the perfect base colour to set it off. Anyone have any ideas?  This is one coat over Julep - Dakota.
Oh and thats supposed to be fire on my ring finger... I'm just shaking my head here.

F.U.N. Lacquer - Rapunzel

Hey guys,

Today we have the last of the Princess collection, and what I sure hope is not my last FL polish because these are so amazing. Last but not least is Rapunzel, who is a relatively new princess but is super awesome! I don't know how Tangled can't become an instant classic!

The holo in this polish is perfect, and the colour is amazing. I did however notice that there were bizarre blue-ish black dots in this bottle I don't know if it has something to do with the colour or an ingredient used. This was the only polish that I noticed this with.
This is two coats.

F.U.N. Lacquer - Snow White

Hey guys,

I am slowly coming around to Snow White, I still can't stand the cartoon version but the new movies and not to mention Once Upon a Time character have really started to change my opinion.

This is a dove grey holo that I LOVE. for some reason I had like a death clutch on the bottle in these pictures... but whatever. I like the subtleness of this polish. The holo is pretty weak but I like it.
This was 2 coats
