Stash Swatch Initiative: China Glaze Riveting

Hello!

I can't believe how long it's taken me to swatch this beauty! It is China Glaze Riveting all the way back from 2012's Capitol Colours collection.

Riveting is a saturated orange polish full of orange and gold glass flecks. It is fiery and gorgeous!

Swatches today are a base of Duri Rejuvacote, two coats of Riveting, and one coat of Seche Vite. This polish has a great formula. It flows smoothly on the nail for a perfect mani. One coat is nearly enough. No issues to report.

It's been quite awhile, but I think I picked this up at Sally Beauty when the collection was newly released. Head2Toe Beauty still has the collection available if you missed out!

I've got some super Halloween nail art using this swatch as a base for my Nail of the Week post tomorrow--see you then! So, more soon! ^_^

Stash Swatch Initiative: Lush Lacquer TGIF

Hello!

Allow me to introduce Lush Lacquer's TGIF!

Lush Lacquer TGIF. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
TGIF is a neon glitter topper with black and white accent glitter. I see small, medium and large hex glitters in neon orange, pink, purple, and blue. There are also short black and white bars, black rectangles, along with tiny white squares. The neon glitters are translucent, which makes this polish really interesting on the nail.

Swatches today are two swiped on coats of TGIF over yesterday's Zoya Trixie swatch. I finished this off with one coat of Gelous, then one of NYC In a New York Minute. This polish was pretty easy to work with -- it swiped on easily with only minimal manipulation of the larger glitters.

I purchased this bottle from Lush Lacquer's store. Right now, it looks like they're having some technical difficulties, so their Facebook page might be the best place to keep an eye out for updates and available polishes.

Stash Swatch Initiative: Zoya Trixie

Hello!

Today I have the fantastic Zoya Trixie swatched up for you!

Zoya Trixie. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
Trixie is a silver, metallic foil -- it looks like liquid metal! It is very bright and shiny. It's amazing!

For swatches today, I've used a base coat of Seche Clear, one coat of Trixie, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. This is wonderfully pigmented and covered perfectly with one coat.

I purchased this super polish directly from Zoya's website. They often run flash sales and give promo codes, and the best way to catch those is to follow their Facebook page.

More soon! ^_^
