Cinema Swatch Lacquers Marie's Retreat and Bells of Ireland Comparison

**The products in this post were provided to me by the manufacturer for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

How is it already April?! I'm really confused. I thought Christmas was like 2 weeks ago. Why? How does time pass so quickly?! Well, my daughter's "Spring Break" starts tomorrow. I have to put Spring Break in quotes because it's just a four day weekend. Since when was Spring Break not a week? Nine days actually because you usually get 2 whole weekends. This is ridiculous! Well, I'm taking her out of town to visit her grandmother for 2 days. This will be my last post this week, but when I get back in town I'll have some new packages and some swatching to do! 

On Monday, I showed you all the entire My Secret Garden Collection from Cinema Swatch Lacquers here. When I was doing my swatching, I thought Bells of Ireland looked familiar. I had just pulled out Marie's Retreat to use with one of the Exotic Petals. Sure enough, they looked super similar in the bottle. As I was in the middle of swatching, I figured I would take some comparison shots.

Some similarities. Some differences. Keep reading to find out more!

Cinema Swatch Lacquers My Secret Garden Collection Swatch and Review

Source: movie-roulette

I'm so glad I finally get to show you all the newest collection to the Cinema Swatch Lacquers family. She released it a few weeks ago, then right after I received it, she was called away to be with her sick mother. I put it on hold so that there wouldn't be an influx of sales while she was away. She got back last week, got caught up on orders, and has had time to breathe. 

The My Secret Garden Collection is inspired by the movie The Secret Garden, but instead of characters, witty lines, or scenes from the movie, Rachel opted to name the polishes after actual flowers. She really wanted these to be a big, beautiful bouquet of sorts. There are sixteen polishes in this collection, and can be broken into three different sets, but because she wanted them to stay together as much as possible, My Secret Garden Collection is only available in minis. Normally, I'm not a fan of minis, but with the way she has treated this collection it just makes sense.

You ready?!

OPI Man of La Mancha Swatch and Review

**The polish in this post was purchased by me with my own money through a blog sale. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

YOU GUYS!!!!!! I've been looking for this beauty for so long! I already had the majority (5 out of 8) of the Holiday on Broadway Collection from OPI. I've been hunting for the last three at decent prices. I came across Man of La Mancha on someone's Pinterest sale and squealed from excitement. When it arrived, I placed it on my desk where I could just admire it's beauty until I had the time to really wear it and appreciate it. Now, that I've been able to enjoy it myself, I wanted to show it off to you all.

You ready for this?!

Happy Friday, everyone!! I'm doing things a bit backwards today. I'm showing you all the new Delight Collection from Zoya first instead of the Satins. With how frigid and white it has been lately, I figured some brights were much needed. Don't worry, I'll be showing off the Satins next week! 

You ready to get a look at these lovely pastels?!

It's a gloomy Monday here in Maryland, and I'm home nursing my sick 5 year old back to health so she can go back to school tomorrow. However, I swatched the new Gentle Breeze Collection from Barielle last week, and I knew these just couldn't wait another day. They needed to be up on Monday!

DazzleGlaze Retro Doll Collection Swatches and Review

**The featured product in this post was provided to me by the manufacturer for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

I'm super excited for today's post! I was approached by Candace, the lady behind Radiantly Vivacious/DazzleGlaze, to review her newest collection. When she told me it was called the Retro Doll Collection and inspired by old Barbies I knew I had to say yes! My mom used to collect Barbies when I was younger and I always had a blast hunting for them with her. It turns out a lot of the ones the collection is inspired by were favorites of mine when my sister and I would play together.

It's the end of July already?!?!?! WHAT?! Why is this year going by so fast?! My daughter is starting kindergarten in less than a month. This is just making me depressed! So let's get back to polish. Polish makes me happy. Polish doesn't leave me and run off to school when it turns five years old.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! As you can see, I've got a beautiful collection inspired by the lovely movie Kiki's Delivery Service. (If you haven't seen it, it's worth tossing into your Netflix DVD queue!!) It's a wonderful flick, and really anything from Hayao Miyazaki is amazing and totally worth your time.

Cameo Colours Lacquers Many Spleandored Thing Collection Swatches and Review

**The products in this post were provided to me by the manufacturer for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

It's day 5, and the final day, of Cameo Colours Lacquers Week. To end this wonderful week with a bang, I've got a preview of her new collection that is releasing tonight! The new group of beauties is called the Many Splendored Thing Collection. It's got a fun little story behind it. She mixed up this beautiful topper and her daughter told her it should be called True Love's Kiss. With the way her new website is set up, it's difficult to add single polishes so she decided to work a collection around it. I've had an idea for a polish that I gave her (just wait until you see Soul Mates!!) and it fit perfectly. All-in-all it's a beautiful 7 polish collection consisting of 3 toppers, 3 solids, and one that could go either way.

Introducing the Many Splendored Thing Collection from Cameo Colours Lacquers!!

Nayll

**Press Samples**

**WARNING PICTURE HEAVY**

**2 POSTS IN 1**

Happy Friday, lovelies!! I'm very excited about today's post. I get to show you all a peek into a new company...Nayll. Nayll is a custom "frankening" company. You create your own polishes on their site. Mix pigments together to make your own shimmer based polishes, or mix together some glitters for a fun topper. Not feeling very creative? They also have a range of jellies, cremes and premixed glitter polishes for you to choose from.

Nayll gave me the opportunity to create five polishes (two shimmers and three glitters) of my very own. I was so excited to get started!! I have a creative mind and love coming up with new polish ideas in my head, but when I sat at my computer to get started on this, I had a total brain fart. I had no idea where to start and I had zero inspiration. To get inspiration, I did what any sane person would do...I created a mini collection. Based off my favorite movie True Romance, I created two shimmers inspired by the main characters, and three glitter toppers based off secondary characters and one scene that has always stuck with me.

Essie Spring 2014 Resort Collection

**The featured product in this post was given to me by a friend. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated.**

I've had this mini set for a bit and it just kept getting covered up. Boy, oh boy, how I've been kicking myself for doing that!! Yes, this set of four don't look like anything special, but Essie has stepped up their game and has improved formulas! I was one of the people who shunned Essie for the longest time, only breaking my vow when I saw a color I just had to have. When the press release of the Spring 2014 Resort Collection arrived in my email box, I was done for. I knew there was something special here.
