Shimmer Nail Polish Review Part 1: Jennifer, Eva, Sonia, Fanny, & Alessandra

Hi there! I have some new Shimmer polishes to show you today!

First up, there's this beauty- Jennifer. This glitter polish has a clear base with a mix of light blue, gold, pink, orange and black glitters. I layered this over a pale light blue (OPI I Vant To Be A Lone Star). The black hexes make this so different....I love it!

Then there's Alessandra, a glitter mix of red and tealish green  glitters in a clear base. I love the combination of teal and red, so I layered Alessandra over Zoya Wenesday:

And then we have Fanny, a purple mix of glitters. I put this over dark purple (Sation Power To The Purple):

Next, a glitter that can be worn by itself- Eva is a burgundy wine tinted base with burgundy glitteres. 3 layers:

Lastly, this is Sonia, a delicious, girly pastel glitter mix. Shown here over a cool toned pink (Nicole by OPI "Naturally"):

 

Shimmer polishes never disappoint me (see my previous review here). They are consistent in quality and uniqueness, and apply beautifully. Be sure to check out Shimmer Polish's store on Etsy, where these beauties can be purchased for $12 each!

Look for my "Part 2" review of even more Shimmers later this week!

Sation Nail Polish (Swatches): Rock-a-guy Blue, Power To The Purple, & Oh My Oceania!

I have some beautiful Sation polishes to show you today! I won these from a giveaway held by one of my favorite blogs,  Of Life and Lacquer.

First up is "Rock-a-guy Blue", a deep, inky blue creme polish:
(2 layers)

Then there's this amazing grape purple- "Power To The Purple".  There's a soft golden shimmer in this one that makes it very special:

(3 layers)

Lastly, my favorite- "Oh My Oceania!", a turquoise-teal-shimmer masterpiece of a polish. I was speculating as to whether or not this was a 'dupe' for Rescue Beauty Lounge "Aqua Lily". A quick Google search yielded this comparison by The Nail Network.  No, they aren't twins, but they definitely look like siblings. With the price difference being so drastic (RBL's go for $20; this Sation, a very reasonable $5) I am more than satisfied with this beauty:

(3 layers)

Aren't these so pretty????!  They are available on Miss Professional Nail's website here. 

Thanks Cynthia, for this fabulous prize!!
