Robin Moses Inspired Collection by MDJCreations

Press Sample


Robin Moses Inspired Collection by 
MDJCreations

Let's talk about the fabulous collection that Melissa has created in collaboration with Robin Moses!

This collection, which is inspired by one of Melissa's favorite nail guru, consists of 7 nail polishes. 

They are each gorgeous!

We have:
              -Robin, Hail to the NAW
              -Nameless Client
              -Evil Client
              -Guru
              -Compassionista
              -Mammie
              -Juicy Client

"Robin, Hail to the NAW" is dedicated to Robin and the other six colors were picked and named by Robin in honor of  the clients that she features on her YouTube channel. Each color carries a rich intense pigment, and a load of holo and glitter. Because of all the gorgeous glitters in it, they do dry textured... so be sure to add a nice glossy top coat to smooth it out.

The collection will be available on Friday, January 27th at 5pm CST.

Robin, Hail to the NAW: is shown in two coats. Application went on great and if you use a thick coat, you can get away with one coat.

Nameless Client is shown in two coats. Great application and can also be used as a one coater, just make that one coat a bit thick.

Evil Client (one of my faves) is shown in two coats. Smooth formula and application. Same as the others, can be used in one or two coats.

Guru, shown in two coats is the only one that you must use in two coats. Its a bit sheer on the first one, which also means that it can be paired with different color bases! Great formula and application.

Juicy Client is such a pretty baby blue. This one was almost sheer on the first coat but it builds up nicely on the second coat. Great formula!

Born Pretty Holo Laser Powder-Silver

Press Sample


Hello again!

Do you love a holo look? I know I do!

Today I swatched one of Born Pretty's holographic powder. This is the second one that I swatch from them but the first to put on my blog. 

So I picked a silver powder. It is item number 33368 in #1.

Born Pretty Store Holographic Laser Powder item #33368 (#1)


I gotta tell you that for the price and the wait (it comes from overseas so you have to wait a bit longer to get) it is so worth it. Right now, it is on sale for $1.99 compared to other competitors. The price is awesome. It does require you to use a gel base (unless you find a way around that) in order for the powder to adhere. It's very holo, and thats just indoors. It went on easy and it did not smear/smudge after putting on top coat, also gel.

I started off with a black gel base. I cured it but did not remove the sticky layer on the base. The sticky layer is what helps the powder adhere to my color. The powder does come with a small makeup sponge in which I dipped to grab some of that holo goodness and then just started rubbing it on my nail. It doesn't take a lot of effort to get it onto the nail.

The first time that I used this powder, I was kind of scared that I would mess it up somehow. But I was so surprised to see how easy this was. It is kind of messy, so I did apply a latex barrier, Sexy Cuticles liquid nail tape by MDJ Creations (I will add the link at the bottom). Once my latex was dry then I started applying the powder. 

All in all, I love Born Pretty's holographic powder. They are priced great and they have a big selection of powder types and colors. By this time you must have seen my IG video tutorial for this powder. But, if you haven't, I am giving away one of these! Why? Well, a little back story... So, Born Pretty had asked me if I was interested in reviewing some items, I said yes of course and I made my pick. I picked this powder without realizing that I already had one on the way from them.. oops! my bad! but your win... could be! So, I am sure I have posted the giveaway info by now. And because you were so kind to stop by my blog and read all this, you are entitled to an extra entry! But shhh... Don't tell anyone one else! If someone stops by my blog they will see that they can also get an additional entry. If they don't, well, that's a higher chance you get at winning. ;-) Just read the instructions on my giveaway post and do the same thing twice! See IG post for giveaway instructions. 

Thank you for stopping by and see you on instagram! Don't forget to follow my IG page!

Name Your Poison Collection by Fairytale Finish Polish

Hello ladies!

I'm here to show you a gorgeous collection by the lovely Amanda from FairyTale Finish!

The collection consist of five gorgeous holo polishes! Now, who doesn't love holo polishes?! I haven't met anyone who doesn't... and if you know someone.. they need an intervention.

Name your Poison Collection by Fairytale Finish Polish!

This collection was inspired by those delicious pretty looking alcoholic drinks! Even if you don't drink, these are still pretty amazing! The formula for these are excellent. I love the shimmer and subtle holo effect on them. Perfect colors plus perfect amount of holo, A MUST HAVE collection.

Amanda is new in the indie polish making world and I think that she is doing an EXCELLENT job and she will go far.

Now, on to the gorgeous colors:

Sweet Red Moscato is a lovely holo reddish purple. This is one of my favorites from this collection. I used two coats with top coat for some shine. Like I said before, the formula is excellent, so it went on very smoothly.

Moody Blue Cocktail is a gorgeous dark blue with shimmer and holo. Another of my favorite! I love blues!! and this one is perfect! Two coats with top coat and you're good to go! And again, formula is pretty awesome! I love how the holo just pops! unfortunately, the sun wasn't on my side when I swatched these, so I was not able to get sun shots. I did do videos of these so I will share those on my IG account.

Blue Hawaiian Daiquiri is a lovely light blue with shimmer and holo. This color is sooo pretty! I really love how it looks with my skin tone. I used two coats with top coat. Formula is excellent so you will have a smooth finish.

Appletini is a lovely apple green with shimmer and holo. I love how soft this green is and the touch of holo makes it perfect. For this swatch, like the others, I used two coats with top coat. The formula is great and flawless. I love how with this collection you only need two coats to get to perfection!

Last, but not least, Radiant Orchid Martini. This is an oh so pretty pink! Who doesn't love pinks? At an angle you can see there's a purple shift which makes it even prettier! I also used two coats with top coat. AGAIN, formula is perfect so you will love it even more.

So what do you think of the collection so far? Isn't it pretty? Amanda did an excellent job with these and I'm sure many of you will love this collection as much as I love it. The fact that the formula is excellent makes a great selling point. The colors are lovely and something for everyone. i did two thin coats for all of them. If you want a stronger color, do 3, but 2 is perfect for me. They dry matte so make sure to use a shiny top coat for some gloss! I will post videos of them in the sun so you can see how gorgeous they look. Don't forget to follow Fairytale Finish on Instagram for more info and pics.

This collection will be released on November 1st, so be sure to be on the look out for more info!
