Enchanted Polish Malibu, Regal & Petal

Hello my poor little blog! Happy 2015! I hope you have all had a great new year so far - I am back after a much-enjoyed (well, except for when I was sick... never fail to get deathly ill with the flu over Christmas break!) break, and today I have the new Enchanted Polish cremes to share with you.

left to right, up to down: Malibu, Regal, Petal

First up is Malibu, a bright sky/Robin's egg blue creme. I adore how vibrant this one is, my favorite for sure! Formula is great but can be a little runny so be careful or it will pool in your cuticles. Shown is 2 coats with no topcoat.

Next up is Petal, a hot pink/fuschia creme. Formula was great here too! It is similar to Malibu though in that you might pool at the cuticles if not careful - just make sure you don't have too much polish on the brush and that helps a lot. Two coats with no topcoat here - but this one could have easily gotten by with just one coat!

Lastly is Regal, a deep blue-toned purple creme. Formula was good just like the other two. I feel like I didn't capture the color quite perfectly, but didn't want to try to edit the color and mess it up. I think it might be a little less blue though? Either way it's gorgeous! Two coats no topcoat.

Merry Christmas Eve! Lots of Holiday Manis

 Merry Christmas Eve! I have been very busy the past few weeks (first with finals, then with family and festivities and such) so I haven't gotten a chance to post all my Christmas manis - so here are some now!

First up is Chaos & Crocodiles There's Magic in the Air, a bright blue holo with a silvery sheen, from the December Sweet Addictions box. I layered Elevation Polish SBP Peteroa, a mix of various blue and silver glitters, over it. These two went together perfectly - so pretty! I am in love with this C&C.

Next up is Different Dimension Why Am I Such A Misfit?, a white crelly packed with various pink, blue, yellow and purple glitters. Very cute! I am a sucker for white crellies with rainbow-y glitter, so I loved this one.

 Next up is KB Shimmer Sugar Plum Faerie, a warm purple base with various purple, pink, and green glitters. Very pretty!

 Next is Lynnderella Sugar and Ice, a mix of various red, white, green, and a few pink glitters in a sheer white crelly base. I layered it over Essie Marshmallow to help with opacity. Love this one, so Christmassy!

 Last up is Pahlish Ruby Red Wrapping, a bright pink-leaning ruby red holo. I layered Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake, a mix of rainbow and black square glitters, over it. Love this combo!

Candy Lacquer Magical Reindeer Collection - Multichrome Glittery Madness!

Hello hello! Today I have the fabulous glittery multichrome Magical Reindeer collection from Candy Lacquer to share with you! These babies are indeed magic - take a look at the sparkly color-shifting perfection below!

look how sparkly - and you haven't even seen the color shift yet!

To avoid repeating myself, each swatch is two easily-applied coats and one coat of KB Shimmer Clearly On Top topcoat, and descriptions in quotes are from Candy Lacquer :)

First up is Reindeer Games, a "green/purple chameleon glitter with a bit of gold/green, blue/red and red/gold chameleons added, as well." To me it looks like a strong green to purple shift with a ton of gold sparkle. This one may have the strongest shift of all - it is mesmerizing! I am head over heels for this polish.

Next up is Fancy Prancer,"a mix of blue/red and green/purple chameleon and purple super holo glitters." This one mostly looks like a strong blue to reddish-purple shift to me, with a strong holo sparkle thrown in. Love love love!

Next up is Visions of Vixen, "a mix of green/purple, blue/red and red/gold chameleon glitters." This one is kind of hard to describe! It is kind of a plummy purple with green sparkle and a strong orange-y gold shift. So complex and pretty!

Next up is Flash Dancer, a "silver super holo, with some gold super holo and gold/green chameleon glitters." To me this comes off as a super in-your-face almost platinum silver with a hint of gold, but as you can see it can look more silver or gold depending on the lighting. So blingy! This looks like a great New Year's Eve polish to me.

Next up is Comet Chameleon, "a mix of all 4 chameleon glitters including red/gold, blue/red, green/purple and gold/green." A mix indeed! This one truly is a multi-glitter - so much going on it is hard to catch any shifting maybe, but all the more awesome for how many colors are thrown in! Love it. Kind of reminds me of the glitters from ye olde OPI Burlesque collection, or maybe Mad As A Hatter - aka, super awesomeness!

Last but certainly not least is Christmas Donner, "a mix of red/gold and gold/green chameleon and gold super holo glitters." This one looks like a mostly warm brownish copper glitter to me, with a gold shift in the right light. Another one of my faves - reminds me of Christmas candy for some reason - maybe toffee? So yummy!

I am so in love with this collection! Blogging multichromes typically takes so much work that I rarely am motivated to post even one, let alone a whole colletion of them - what with all the extra photos and angles needed to properly show the prettiness off and all. But these reindeer were just too magical for me to resist ;)
