Try Again! Glitter Bomb Polishes

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice fall, even thought in the state I live in the weather has been very weird, like yesterday and today the weather has been in the 70's, which is not normal for where I live. Anyways today we are going to give two polishes that I purchased from Live Love Polish another go. These polishes have a lot of glitter in them and where kind of tricky to work with, even the second time around. I wanted to give these polishes another try because I felt like the first time I did not apply them correctly and these polishes are so pretty, I just felt like I did not show their true beauty the first time around.

Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream and Powder Perfect Forbidden City

The two polishes that we will be retrying are Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream and Powder Perfect Forbidden City.  

 

 Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream first try.

We will first start off with the beautiful glitter bomb that is Million Dollar Dream! As you can see in the photo above when I just polished on each coat it still look patchy.

    Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream second try.

The second time around I did what Live Love Polishes website said to do on applying this polish. I polished on the first coat, then for the second coat I took a makeup sponge and polished some on a sponge then sponged on the polish. You do have to do this a few times to get full opacity. 

 

  Powder Perfect Forbidden City first try.

The next polish that we will retry is Powder Perfect Forbidden City. The first time I applied two layers of the polish (with base coat under that polish) and I used my favorite top coat Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat, which is a thin top coat, this made the polish still not look smooth and as shinny even after three coat of top coat.

  Powder Perfect Forbidden City second try. 

The second time I applied this color with a thicker top coat, OPI RapiDry. This was suggested by the person that runs Live Love Polishes Facebook page, I had commented on this polish saying that I couldn't get this polish to look like the photo on the website, and they suggested to use a thicker top coat like Seche Vite. 

Final thoughts:

 

   Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream

As for Fun Lacquer Million Dollar Dream, I love this polish! From the moment I first saw this on Live Love Polish and even the first time I polished this on my nails I thought this color was amazing, and in the sunlight it looks even more amazing if that where even possible for this polish. I do say the second time around it did look even better not patchy. I did sponge on the polish a few times and it did seem to get a little thick. Due to this polish being a dense glitter it will be hard to remove, it was the first time and probably even more so now that it is sponged on. I would suggest using pure acetone, cotton and foil on your nails (the same way you remove gel polish) to remove this polish.

         Powder Perfect Forbidden City

As for Powder Perfect Forbidden City, this polish is also very pretty. This polish has a very thick formula on it's own and adding a thicker top coat definitely makes it even thicker. I do say the second time it looked better, but still not like the photo on the website on, on the website this polish looks very smooth and shinny. In the photo above I used a base coat, the Revlon top coat (which I should not have done that), and two coats of RapiDry. I am not sure why I decided to use the Revlon top coat with the RapiDry because this made the polish look to thick. I should have just used only the RapiDry, but oh well their is always next time.

Live Love Polish- Review Time

Hello everyone! Today I have a kind of long over do review of some polishes that I purchased back in February, from the online company Live Love Polish. They are a polish company that has a lot of indie brands and some mainstream brands as well, they of course sell nail polishes, nail care items, even some lipsticks.

 

   Here is the cute pink box that your polishes will be shipped to you in. A long with a cute card with a message in it, my card said Thanks Christina Happy Polishing! 

The card was a nice touch!

 When you open the box you can see your polishes are protected by some foam and will come to you in good condition. 

Now let's take a closer look at the four polishes!

 

 Pretty & Polished- Donut Ever Let Me Go

First we will start off with one of the two Pretty & Polished polishes that I purchased, Donut Ever Let Me Go. This polish I wore in Who Wants Dessert tutorial, I have only wore this polish for this tutorial not on it's own as of yet.

Donut Ever Let Me Go is a pretty strawberry/ light pink crelly polish that has a lot of multicolored bar glitters in it. Do to this polish being a crelly it is kind of sheer and took three coats to be opaque. The glitter in the polish was easy to get out, you don't have to fish to get any glitter out, a lot comes out on the brush. I really liked this polish, it is unique and after all it does look like icing on a donut, which makes it so cool!

Here is a link to purchase this polish:

Pretty & Polish Donut Ever Let Me Go  cost $12.00

 

 Petty & Polished Double, Double Toil and Truffle 

Next is Pretty & Polished Double, Double Toil and Truffle, which unfortunately is unavailable on the Live Love Polish website, but maybe if you keep looking they will bring it back. This is another polish that I only wore with the Who Wants Dessert tutorial.

Double, Double Toil and Truffle is a chocolate brown crelly polish, with small and large hex gold glitter in it. This polish also was kind of sheer and took three coats to be opaque. 

If you have been following the M.M.M blog for a while, then you know I don't really like browns and neutral polishes, and you may wonder why I got this polish? Well as you may know I love unique looking polishes and this one reminded me of chocolate, which is so cool, so I just had to purchase it and give it a try.

Double, Double Toil and Truffle I also really liked, it is a pretty chocolate looking polish, and if you love chocolate and nail polish like me then this polish is perfect for you.

As stated above this polish is unavailable right now, but here is a link to the Dessert for nails collection that you can check on to see if it will come back.

Double, Double Toil and Truffle was $10.99 when I purchased it.

 

Powder Perfect Forbidden City

The next polish I purchased was from Powder Perfect Forbidden City. This polish is a burgundy or red wine colored polish that has a lot of micro glitter pieces in it, which makes this polish very textured. This polish took two coats to be opaque, and had a very thick formula due to all the glitter.

This polish for me was sadly a let down. When I looked at the photos on the website and online this polish looked amazing! Yes this polish goes on very textured, but when I applied it on the nails it was very dull. In the photo above I applied two coats of top coat to try and get it to look glossy like the photo on the website, but it just was not working and I really didn't want to add anymore layers of topcoat.

With this polish maybe if you used a thicker topcoat or applied maybe three generous layers you could get it to look glossy and shinny, like the photo on their website.

Forbidden City looks very pretty in the bottle, but was just not working out on the nails. Do to me spending a lot on this polish I will give it another go, maybe with a different topcoat or more coat of my favorite topcoat.

Powder Perfect-Forbidden City cost $12.50 

 

 

       Color Club Crystal Baller

Last but far from lest is Color Club's Crystal Baller. This is a denim blue or a blue/ with some purple, linear holographic polish. This polish goes on very smooth in two coats.

As you may know any holographic polish I love! After all it's like having a rainbow on your nails and they look amazing in sunlight! Just be careful when driving on a sunny day while wearing a holographic polish, they can become very distracting. 

As you may have guess I loved this polish, all of the Color Club polishes I own have great formula and apply very well. Really any holographic polish applies very well (well at lest the ones I have.) 

As soon as I wrote this blog post the next day this polish was sold out (sadness), but it has come back before so if you are interested keep a look out for it, it is very popular and sells out very fast when it is back in stock.

Another alternative would be Color Clubs Over the Moon a blue holographic polish  

Color Club-Crystal Baller  cost $10.00 (keep looking for this one!)

As far as Live Love Polish goes, I do recommend them. They have a good selection of unique indie brand nail polishes (along with some main stream.) Shipping was also very good it did not take a long time to get, I chose the free shipping option, if you are ordering from the US and  your order comes to $39 or more, which can easily be done you can get free shipping. A lot of their polishes are kind of pricey, but I feel that if they are unique enough I will pay a little bit more for a unique looking polish. Also if you are a first time buyer at Live Love Polish you can get 10% off, and their has been a few time that they have sent me 10% in my email as well.

Lastly out of the four polishes I purchased my favorite is of course Color Clubs Crystal Baller, then Pretty & Polished- Donut Ever Let Me Go and  Double, Double Toil and Truffle. I recommend all three of these polishes.
