Glam Polish - Bad Hair Day

Quick post today.  Today is another untried which sat for far too long, Glam Polish Bad Hair Day. This is a fundraiser shade going to Alopecia awareness.  I picked this up quite a while ago, but it is still available as of today.

This is a lightly tinted blue jelly base, packed with small holo and blue glitter.  The overall color is sort of a deep but dusty blue. Formula wise, this is excellent, going on smoothly and evenly.  This did need three coats to completely cover all spots but it went on so nicely, it was hard to care. You can purchase this polish here:    http://www.glampolish.com.au/product/bad-hair-day-alopecia-awareness-fundraising-shade-limited-edition

I'll continue to try to grow my nails out and post more.  Hah.  See y'all later!

Polished for Days - Hoodie Weather

So it's been awhile.  I hope everyone has had an excellent holidays and is ready for this new year.  Today I have a new to me brand, Polished for Days.  Hoodie Weather is  an aptly named lovely neutral gray with (plenty of) silver and black microglitter.  This also has a mild dose of holo.  I love this! It's great for work because it's neutral at first glance, but I won't get bored with it. I had a real struggle with taking the photos of this (it's a long story, but everything was broken with my equipment), but it's so worth it to share with everyone.  Formula wise, this is really good.  Very opaque; I used two coats but I do think if you do a very thick coat, you could get away with one, which is surprising for such a light color. It stays where it should and is pretty smooth.  This has a pretty large brush, which some will love but I personally found it to be a tad big for my tastes.  This also has those pesky silver glitters that can tend to get all over your skin but this is remedied with a good hand washing.  You can find Polished for Days at http://polishedfordays.storenvy.com/.




One of my goals for the new year is to get better about swatching,whether it be here or on instagram alone. I feel like this might have been a goal last year as well, hah!  We'll see how this goes.  I go through breaks pretty frequently which stops me from swatching.  I'll try my best as I have a TON (not literally, thankfully) that need to be showcased and need to be actually used.  See y'all soon!
