Marbles for Polish - The God and The Mechanic

Happy Hump Day folks! Has spring weather arrived where you live? It sure has here in South Carolina. We have had amazing temps in the high 80s and low 90s for the past 4 days!
Today I have swatches from a new indie polish maker: Marbles for Polish.

The God has a sheer black jelly base with silver shimmer, small blue round glitter, small red hex glitter and gold shards. The formula was nice and glitter coverage was great with no fishing required. I layered two coats over one coat of Wet n Wild - Black Creme, and sealed with top coat.

 The Mechanic has a cherry red jelly base with small round and hex shaped gold holographic glitter. The formula was great with this polish and is opaque in two coats.

Marbles for Polish can be purchased on Etsy here and be sure to like their Facebook page.

Arcane Lacquer - Respite Love and Locked in Limbo

So if you follow me on the facebook fan page you know that November 2013 was the officially renamed "Buy All The Polish" as fare as my paypal account is concerned! I was getting 3-5 packages per week last month! It was insane but there were so many amazing sales and new restocks I just couldn't resist!

One of the newest brands I have discovered in my hoarding period is Arcane Lacquer based out of good ole' Australia. I purchased them from Llarowe who had a great 50% off of clearance polishes so I picked up Respite Love and Locked in Limbo.

Locked In Limbo is described as a light grey crelly with blue to magenta flecks. I was able to capture all the lovely blue but not the magenta, which are very faint. The formula was good. This is two coats with no top coat.

Respite Lane is described as a bright blue was with green shimmer. The formula on this one was just okay. For some reason i'm not loving the shimmer in this one but love the base color. This is two coats with no top coat.

I am definitely liking this brand and plan on purchasing more of their polishes. Arcane Lacquer can be purchased at Llarowe. Let me know what you think in the comments and thanks for stopping by.

Geek Glitter - River Run

*this polish was provided for review from another blogger but I paid shipping*

Hey i'm back again! I know, two posts on Sunday! I wanted to quickly bring to you a pretty interesting polish by Glitter Geek from the Game of Thrones collection. 

 

River Run is described as green, blue, turquoise, and holographic gold glitter in a shimmery navy blue jelly base. This is two coats alone. The formula was pretty thick and a bit streaky from the shimmery base. I've seen a couple swatches on others and it looks much better but this definitely isn't my favorite combination for polish. The shimmery base seems to be competing with the glitter, the shimmer makes some of the glitter disappear or muddies the color of the glitter.

If you do like this polish the shop is unfortunately closed due to hiatus with no definite reopen date. So what do you think of this shade? Share in the comments and thanks for stopping by.

Not Too Polished - Pyke, Tangerine and the Eyrie Review

*these items were provided for review from another blogger, I paid shipping costs*

Happy Sunday! Hope you've had a good weekend so far. My past two weekends have been spent thrifting looking for essentials for the new house and it's been so much fun! Today I bring to you three glitters from Not Too Polished .

Pyke is described as a black jelly filled with multi sized gold and gold holo glitters. This is one coat over Wet N' Wild black creme. No problems with glitter coverage here, it's jam packed so you get even glitter distribution. The formula on this one was a bit thick and chunky because of so much glitter that I had to layer it over a base color because when trying to build it up to opacity on it's own it was just too chunky.

Tangerine is described as a a golden, iridescent peach base and is packed with medium metallic orange hexes, small matte white hexes and large white hexes (credit for this description goes to Deuce Beauties as this polish is no longer available for sale). This is two coats over Sinful Colors Anchors Away. Great even glitter distribution and the best formula out of the three.

The Eyrie is described as a sky blue jelly polish loaded with white snow flurries of matte white glitter in small and extra large, as well as silver holo glitters. This is two coats over Wet N' Wild Teal Slowly and See. I adore this polish. It has a great formula, great glitter distribution and coverage and it's squishy! I definitely recommend The Eyrie.

So which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments and thanks for stopping by!
