Epic Fall Duo by Feenix Polish

How perfect is this duo for fall? It's Feenix Polish's Twigs, with Falling For You (also by Feenix) as a topper. There's a little bit extra at the tips for added interest. I know what you're thinking... "What tips?"... You guys are jerks. I'm really trying to grow them out! I swear! Gosh. :)

Twigs (base color) was a flawless polish, not too thin, not too thick. Easily buildable. I used 3 coats. Ring finger is 1 coat of China Glaze Agro as color comparison. One coat of Seche Vite. Twigs is lighter, more delicate, and has sparks of micro glitter, where Agro is just a shimmer. Had a bit of trouble with my lightbox an blurines. I trust you to get past that, however. Also, small cuticle injury on my middle finger. I hate winter dryness!


 Twigs is way more sparkly and flattering.
 Remember, ring finger is ChG Agro.
 Love these tiny pumpkins. I'm keeping this one til it rots. :)
One of our giant Maple's. I should censor this naked tree!

And now on to Falling For You. Haha, how appropriate:

 Glad I don't have to clean these all up myself!

This polish was a little on the thick side, but it helps to hold the glitter. I don't know where I'd be without Seche Vite, though. Probably still waiting for these to dry! I really globbed it on there thick. he perfect shades for fall! This is where the blurry lightbox syndrome come in. Ugh.





The yummy  duo. What do you think?

Rainbow Polish's Great Blue

Chunky glitter, you guys! The chunkiest! Rainbow Polish's Great Blue is made up of shades of blue, black, and silver holo.You've got hexes, stars, bars, and diamonds. The big hexes look like fish scales! My base is
Nicole by OPI's Respect The World, which was my first "high end" polish (aka cost more than a buck or two). It was like eight bucks, which was a lot, but I couldn't say no. This polish is about 5 years old. Great Blue's formula is fine, you will need to fish around a bit for the good stuff in there. ("Fish" around... Haha. Like fish scales. Moving on....) There's a bit of shrinkage going on in these pics, so ignore that. What do you think, could you see yourself embracing this loud glitter?

 2 coats, 2 coats, 2 coats.

Whimsical Ideas by Pam's Once Upon A Time

My first whimsy! This is Once Upon A Time from her Halloween collection. How could I say no to this one when my fav 2 colors are involved?! In addition, I had Essie Navigate Her and Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac sitting right in front of my when this cutie came in, so I couldn't resist. Just a quick pic. It's blurry but its so pretty! And I figured I'd write up a quick post because Whimsical Ideas By Pam shared it on their page! (Thanks again Pam!!) So it must not be too shabby. This polish is a dream to apply and to wear. Here it is!


Overall Grade:
A

Battle of the Mint To Be's

Check this out! Just realized I have 2 polishes named "Mint To Be"! How cool! :) Similar, but different enough to have both.

When I got the first one, I immediately thought of this awesome lipstick by Lime Crime:
It's also called Mint To Be. :)

Mint is a very popular color this summer, and I have a feeling it might stick around for a while. It's nice and light and pretty. So on the the comparison!

Here is Mint To Be by Serum No5.







MTB by SN5 is glitter packed and will need a few coats of top coat to be glossy. You'll only need 2 coats for full opacity. This is a very easy polish to apply and wear. :)

And here is Mint To Be by Seventh Day Soap Co.






MTB by SDSC is sheer, this is 4 coats total. No topcoat is needed but its shown here with one. Application was perfect, love the bits of holo glitter in there, they really make this polish something special. :)

MTB by SDSC is sheerer, bluer, and it's got holo glitter in it, while MTB by SN5 is greener, more opaque and creamy, and it has silver glitter in it. Compare!

I love where I live.

Enkelini Wrap-up!

So the last few days I've been wearing and swatching Enkelini polishes. Let me tell you, I have not had a single issue. All 3 apply flawlessly and beautifully. I've gotten compliments on all 3 from customers at work. I will be getting full-size bottles of Doynk and Gettin' Jiggy.... they're just too cool not to. How terrible would it be if I ran out? Very. Very terrible. Alright well here they are!


















What do you think of them? Which is your favorite? Will you be buying one of these or another from Enkelini? Let me know in the comments!
