China Glaze Cast A Spell

I won this one from Confessions of a Sarcastic Mom; thanks Destany! This is 2 coats of China Glaze Cast A Spell. It's a lovely dark pine green glass flecked polish. It's a little too dark for me though so I'll be passing this one along to a friend.

Abstract Christmas Nails With JENsations JEWEL Tones & LAQA & CO Chubs

Today we have a unique & lovely polish from indie brand JENsations. Here's what she has to say about her products.

★ All of my custom blended polishes are made with a special 3-free base [Toluene, Formaldehyde & Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) Free] that will suspend glitter [glitter won't all fall to the bottom].

★ All glitters used are solvent resistant [glitter won't bleed into polish]. On rare occasion I use a bleeding glitter on purpose to get the perfect shade of base, but it will be noted.

★ All polishes come inside a unique star shaped bottle. 10 ml in size. Contrary to popular believe they are easy to store.

★ Each bottle contains two stainless steel ball bearings [they will not rust or affect your polish] for easy shaking. Pigments & glitters tend to settle over time so please shake gently =)

★ Each bottle is custom made with my very own two hands so there may be a slight variation in each bottle.

I've found all of these statements to be true! This is one easily applied coat of  JENsations Jewel Tones worn over LAQA & CO Chubs. Jewel Tones is large red hex glitter & medium green & purple hex glitter in a clear base with a truly outstanding formula. No need to fish for glitter in the bottle & brushes on in one nice thin coat.

LAQA & CO Chubs

This is two coats of LAQA & Co Chubs. I hate the name but I love the polish. Chubs is a light gold foil that applies easily & dries fast. Metallic foils are one of my favorite finishes. Colors like this are great for vacations since they go with everything. I wore this one for almost a week which I never do. Great polish & gorgeous packaging too!

Sation Under The Miss-tletoe

Sation Under The Miss-tletoe is from their 2012 Holiday Golightly Collection. It's a pretty pearlescent pine green shimmer. The formula is a bit tricky on this one, a bit too thin & streaky. Shown here at three coats but I could have used a fourth. I'm going to pass this one along.

Abstract Modern Christmas Or Accidental Bloody Mary Nails?

I love this combination! Sation I Love Yule topped with Sation Ego Friendly. I thought it looked very holiday appropriate but Will says it looks like a bloody mary. Maybe that is holiday appropriate too! Either way, Ego Friendly is a truly incredible polish!

Sation I Love Yule

Sation Feliz Navi-Doll

Sation Feliz Navi-Doll is from their 2012 Holiday Golightly Collection. It's a beautiful icy pale grey shimmer. I love neutral pale greys & off white polishes. I think they look fresh & modern. I'm definitely keeping Feliz Navi-Doll but the formula is a bit streaky so you'll need 3 to 4 thin coats for even coverage.
I'll post a holiday look with more from this collection soon!

Zoya Paloma

Here we have Zoya Paloma from their NYFW 2012 Gloss Collection, a sheer deep fuchsia-berry with a buildable jelly gloss finish. All of the polishes from this set work better with thick coats. The formula is a bit streaky & sticky but using thick coats made it much easier to use. I only used 2 coats for these photos. I think it's lovely!
