I,A.M...Custom Color Invader Zim Collection (pt. 2)





Welcome back!




I'd like to elaborate on the swatches that I did for Ashlie @iamcustomcolor for the second part of Invader Zim "Let the Nightmare Begin" collection. You can check out I, A.M...Custom Color's blog here. Pre-order as of 9/15/14. Make sure to get your orders in! http://iamcustomcolor.storenvy.com




There is a ton of holo goodness, so prepare your eyes!

First up is "Rise of Zitboy": It is a pearly green color filled with holographic shimmer. Pictures below show the polish in the sun. I'm wearing 2 coats without a top coat. The formula is very smooth and easy to apply.



 




Next is "Tak: Hideous New Girl": It is a gorgeous purple color also filled with holographic shimmer.

Again, captured in the sunlight. For this polish, I applied I, A.M. Custom Color Diamondpro top coat. Great shine and long lasting (but that's another story! :P)This is 2 coats.

You can get away with 1 coat of this polish if you are not looking for complete opacity.








It will still look like a gorgeous, subtle purple tint.



Next is "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars".
 This is a blue/teal holographic polish. Also, best captured in the sun.

This is 2 coats and no top coat.



Here is a little blurry action for ya! 
Look at all the sparkles!!



We are almost done, I promise. Don't worry, it's worth it!

Here we have "Filthy Stink Children" This is one of my favorites from this collection! It is opaque in 1 coat. Im dead serious. It is the perfect sandy/nude color. Of course, it is also holographic. It is a little tougher to capture, but it's there! You can see the proof in the bottle.

I decided to apply 2 coats anyway, as shown here. This formula is very smooth and like I stated above, 1 coat is sufficient.
 I absolutely love this color! 

Lastly, my most favorite of all is the AMAZING black holo. (Told you it was worth it!)
I applied 3 coats for this polish. One coat s like a grayish color. Two coats starts to look black, but 3 coats evens it all out. No top coat, but the shine is incredible!






SPARKLES! O_O



 Look at this bottle shot!






All of the polishes from this collection are fantastic! Each one is unique and the names are adorable!
Again, formula is great on every single one. It is not streaky or lumpy or anything of the sort. Also, as mentioned earlier, these are available for pre-order as of 9/15. Prices will be different after the pre-order period ends. Make sure to get yours ASAP! 1) before they are gone  and 2)before prices are higher!

Loaded Lacquer - Foolish Hearts

This is "Foolish Hearts" by Loaded Lacquer!
You get Holo glitters, hex black and purple glitters, you get black, purple and holo hearts, too!! 
This is such an amazing polish. 
It has a great formula as well.
You get a ton of glitter every time you dip the brush! 
If the hearts sink to the bottom a little, you just need to give the bottle a little shake, or roll it between your hands for a few seconds while holding it upside down. At that point, the next dip of your brush will most likely bring out a lovely heart!


This glitter topper goes very well over a purple base (pictured below), a black, white, grey, red, holo, etc.. Whatever floats your boat!


You can find this glitter bomb and also the purple base called "Fig" at loadedlacquer.com

Hula Girl Collection

These are some of my goodies from the Hula Girl Collection by Loaded Lacquer!

The first is Tiki Torched. It is a taupe/grey crelly color with lovely red shimmer throughout!
I use my cellphone camera to capture these pictures, so i wasn't able to capture the wonderfulness on my nails.. but you can definitely see the red shimmer in the bottle!
I've always wanted a color like this (taupe-ish) and i finally found it by an amazing creator!
This is 2 coats.



Secondly, we have from the Hula Girl Collection, Get Lei'd. It is a bright neon orange/coral crelly base with purple/blue shimmers! I had to capture this picture indoors because it was dark outside, but you can still see a sparkle here and there! This is a polish that no picture or video can ever do it justice!
This is 3 coats.


Last, but not least, we have Paradise Overdose. It is a black base filled with hot pink, blue and purple shimmer/flakes! I love it so much!!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

This is my first blog post EVER. Well, since Myspace LOL!
 I am so happy I decided to start off rambling about Loaded Lacquer's "Innocent Until Proven Guilty".  I have never been as satisfied with a glitter polish as I was with this one!









The base is a clear jelly. It is not thick and clunky like others that I have tried. Therefore, it dries quickly and it is perfect for the "dab-on" method.

The best part about this polish is that it is literally, LOADED with LACQUER!!
There is soooo much glitter packed in that bottle! Every single time you take out the brush, there is enough glitter to cover your nail. You don't have to keep dipping to get more glitter (unless you want a specific shape).

The glitters in this formula range from small to big, squares to lines to stars, round and hex and holographic! Last but not least, pink skulls! I mean, need I say more??

I bought this polish in conjunction with "Cave of Skulls"


Cave of Skulls is also insanely LOADED! (May be a little hard to see in the picture since I used dark base colors. I'll add a picture later of the polish on a clear base coat.)

The base is also a clear jelly.
The glitters range from gold, to purple to blue. Also, from round to hex. And, of course, SKULLS!
This time they are gold colored.

I got this Duo from Loaded Lacquer's shop for $18 USD. 
Check out her shop for this Duo and other duos and potential "on sale" items!


By the way, the packaging for these polishes was sooo adorable and thoughtful!






(I am not being paid to promote this polish. Loaded Lacquer has no idea I'm even rambling about how awesome these glitters are! I simply want to share the love!)


ENJOY!
