Cupcake Polish Sweet Addictions Box: October Edition

Good evening, dear readers! I hope this post finds you well, and you have been having a wonderful week thus far. For tonight's post, I wanted to share the new Sweet Addictions Box for the month of October. For those of you that are not familiar with this box, it is a monthly box that is coordinated by the lovely Sara of Cupcake Polish. Each month, the box is given a theme and contains an exclusive to the box Cupcake Polish nail polish in addition to polishes and products from two other independent brands. The other indies are guest brands that rotate into the box at any given point. The theme for October's box is Think Pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. Let's check out what is in the new box!

As expected with this theme, everything is pink and definitely gorgeous!

Cupcake Polish

Fight Like a Girl

Indoor Lighting

Sunlight

As if a lovely fuchsia base wasn't enough, Fight Like a Girl has additional holo microglitters that really make this polish sparkle. This is one stunning polish! It applied very easily with two smooth coats. It dries a little unevenly because of the microglitters, but it smooths out nicely with a coat of topcoat. I'm crazy about this polish, and I am glad to see it in the box!

Bear Pawlish

Paws For Ta-Tas

Indoor Lighting

Sunlight

Paws For Ta-Tas is an intense neon pink holographic polish, and it is very lovely. This is my first experience with Bear Pawlish, and I am quite pleased with the formula of this polish. It applied very easily with two smooth coats, and the colour is amazing! The name is also really cute and makes me giggle.

Smitten Polish

In October, We Wear Pink

Indoor Lighting

Sunlight

In October, We Wear Pink is a beautiful sparkly bright pink microglitter polish. This shade of pink makes me think of strawberry candy, and I am definitely loving this polish too! The formula was nice, and I used two coats of this polish. I then topped my nails off with HK Girl topcoat to smooth them out. It's another fabulous addition to the box!

Heart Charm

This month's box comes with the cutest heart charm, measuring slightly under 3cm tall. This charm was actually made by Sara's mother for this box, and I am honored to now have my own heart charm. I had the pleasure of meeting Sara's mom (and the talented Sara as well!) while attending Cosmoprof North America in Las Vegas this summer, and she is so sweet! I think I'm going to pick up a satin cord to wear with it as a necklace. Now to decide if I want more pink...

The October Sweet Addiction's Box is every pink lover's dream come true! Even though each polish shares the same colour, they all have their own unique spin to them that makes them look very different from each other. All the polishes had wonderful formulas, and the heart charm is simply adorable!

The October Think Pink Box is scheduled to launch this Sunday, September 28th at 11AM CST at the Cupcake Polish website. A blanket donation of $250 will be made this month for breast cancer awareness, regardless of how many boxes sell. It truly is a fabulous box, and I suspect it is going to sell out quickly. Be sure to mark your calendars so you don't miss out!

Do these polishes inspire your pink manicures for October? I'd love to hear what you're planning!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful night!

DIFFERENT dimension Spooky Spooky Halloween Collection

Good morning, dear readers! I hope this post finds you well and you have been having a wonderful week thus far. For today's blog post, I have the new Limited Edition Spooky Spooky collection that the lovely Missi of DIFFERENT dimension is releasing for Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I look forward to it every year. I was thrilled to learn that Missi had created a Halloween collection in addition to a fall collection that I will be showing you soon! Let's get to some pictures!

Dragula

Textured

With HK Girl Topcoat

Dragula is an orange jelly based texture polish with black and orange holographic glitters throughout. Opaque in 2 to 3 coats- can also use topcoat for extra sparkle and shine.

The song may be 16 years old (yikes!), but it still makes me roar a fierce YEAH! The name is so fitting for this awesome textured polish, and it is, by far, my favorite textured polish ever. I think all I need to do is add spikes and I'll have the most bad@$$ nails for Halloween this year! I used two easy coats of polish for the top photos and added topcoat for the bottom photos. To help make removal a little easier, I applied it over a layer of watered down glue so it would peel off easily for me. Dragula is the most unique polish I've seen for Halloween, and it is definitely a must have!

Thriller

Thriller is a dark violet jelly polish with added shimmer. Opaque in 2 to 3 coats.

Another fabulous shade names for an awesome song! The base colour alone is beautiful, but the additional shimmer makes it glow. Not in the dark, of course, but it does add a gorgeous depth to the polish. I may be wearing this one every day on my toes all next month! I used three coats of this polish for these photos. It applied so nicely for me!

Werewolves of London

Indoor Lighting

Outside in the Sun

Werewolves of London is a holographic orange polish. Opaque in 2 to 3 coats.

Werewolves of London is only the most perfect pumpkin orange holo polish is existence. I love a lot of different polish colours, but there is something about orange that makes me so happy. I squealed out loud when Missi told me she had made an orange polish for her Halloween collection, and she certainly created one beautiful shade! I used three flawless coats for these photos.

Monster Mash

Layered over Werewolves of London

Monster Mash is Missi's personal definition of the perfect Halloween glitter topper- orange, black, and white glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes with holographic shimmer.

I like that Missi created a glitter topper to go with this collection! Even though removal isn't the easiest, I still love glitters, and this one is perfect for Halloween. The assortment of shapes is fun without going overboard and becoming too crazy. I didn't have to fish for glitters, and they spread out nicely over my nails. I used about a coat for my middle, index, and pinky fingers, and I used two for my ring finger. I then smoothed my nails out by adding HK Girl topcoat for these pictures.

Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is a light neon orange crelly with iridescent glitters. Glows orange in the dark, can be intensified by layering polish over white. Opaque in 2 to 3 coats. May require an extra coat of topcoat.

Ugh, my camera just could not handle the awesomeness of Ghostbusters! The colour of the polish is pulling slightly more yellow in these pictures than it does in real life, particularly in the brighter areas where the iridescent glitters blew its mind. The camera did weird things with my skin tone, but let's ignore that and focus on how incredible this colour is! It is magic in a bottle! It glows a pretty orange shade, as you can see in the last photo. I'm still working on getting good glow in the dark images, so I apologize for the graininess! I used two coats of Ghostbusters over Zoya Purity (white). I topped it off with two coats of topcoat to smooth my nails.

The Spooky Spooky collection is awesome, and I cannot pick a single favorite. Each shade is perfect for it's own reason, and I love that Missi included a variety of finishes; there truly is a polish for everyone in this collection!

Cuticle Oil

Candy Corn

While not exactly part of the Spooky Spooky Collection, I wanted to share the new Candy Corn cuticle oil that will also be launching September 26th. I am in love with Missi's cuticle oils, and I really like this style of bottle. The dropper is perfect for putting a little oil under the free edge of your nails, and her oils have kept my nails from drying out with all the swatching and nail art I've been doing recently. Other seasonal scents being released include Pumpkin Caramel Latte, Cake Batter, Candy Apple, and Pumpkin Cheesecake. YUM!

The Spooky Spooky Collection launches this Friday, September 26th at 9pm EST. This particular collection is limited edition, and it will only be available until the end of October. Missi has closed down her etsy shop, and you can now shop with her on her new shop over here! At the time of this post, Missi is still finishing up the new site, but it should be live soon. Be sure to follow DIFFERENT dimension on Facebook and Instagram for shop announcements and lots more photos!

Is there a favorite polish from this collection you are excited about? Did you make it through this post without singing any of these songs, at least in your head? I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day! XO!

Polish TBH Pathos Review

Good morning, dear readers! I have another beautiful polish by Polish TBH to share with you, this time the gorgeous red Pathos. This polish is more complex than your regular red creme. It starts with a lovely rich red base and contains blue pink shimmer and a dusting of gold micro shimmer. I had a difficult time capturing the shimmer with my camera, but it is definitely there!

I like my red polishes to have a little something extra to them, and Pathos is perfect! The formula was really nice, and I used two coats plus top coat for these photos.

You can order this and other beautiful Polish TBH polishes by visiting the website here. I have really liked the couple that I have, and I definitely want more!

Until next time dear readers, have a wonderful day!

XO!
