K is for Kismets Pajamas


I am still behind in my challenges, and haven't gotten caught up yet, so today I have another swatch beginning with the letter of the week. K is Kismets Pajamas from Whimsical Ideas by Pam. This is a beautiful black base with different size silver and purple glitters. I used 2 coats and it went on easily with no fishing for glitter. Love this color, its amazing!

ABC challenge I & J


 Happy Thursday! So glad tomorrow is Friday. Today I have both I & J for the ABC challenge, I have gotten so busy with things that I completely forgot about this last week. But, both of these go together so its ok :).

For I, I have China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard, the neon green from the summer collection. This is 2 coats, to wear on its own I would probably add a third, but since I was layering 2 was good enough.


Over this, for J, I have 2 coats of Spooky Bones Jake & The Leprechaun. This is a clear base with different sizes and shapes of silver glitter and shreds. It's part of the Are You Afraid of the Dark? collection.


And yes, if you noticed, these pictures were taken at different times. The bottom one was taken over the summer, and the top one was taken last week while swatching Glitzology polishes.

Check out the other ladies taking part!

Glitzology review

Today I have for you some polishes by a new Etsy seller, Glitzology. Stacy is the creative mind behind the brand, and is lovely. When she asked for bloggers who wanted to review her polishes, I jumped at the chance, and she asked which polishes I wanted to review. After looking at everything she had, I had a short list of about half the shop! I was finally able to narrow it down to 6, but couldn't go any further, and left the decision up to her. I was surprised when she sent them all! I expected at most maybe 3 of the 6. So, yes these polishes were provided to me for review, but the opinions will be honest! Lets get to it shall we?

Ozotic Sugar 902

Happy Wednesday! Today was a half day at school for teacher conferences so that means no work for me! And we are out of school until next Tuesday woohoo! Got lots of swatching planned, but first for today I have a brand new to me brand. I will say up front that this polish was provided by Kim from Overall Beauty for review purposes. I will still give an honest review.

So I received Ozotic 902, one of their Sugar polishes. My favorite color is purple, so I was glad to receive the purple one. The formula was good, a little on the thin side but still manageable. FOr the swatches I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Black Out on my index and ring fingers and 2 coats of Sally Hansen White On on the middle and pinkie. I then layered 2 coats of 902 to show the difference you can get out of this polish over the different bases. I much prefer it over the black as it is bolder, but over white it has a very pretty delicate look to it. I had tried swatching this on its own so you could see it, but even after 4 coats it wasn't opaque and just was not showing up in pictures. Definitely a great layering polish.



I am very happy with my first Ozotic, I would like to get a couple more of the Sugar colors and even a couple of the Beam colors, but they are a little pricey for me so they will have to be saved as a treat or something I might use gift money for.

If you have never shopped with Overall Beauty and Kim, check her out. I have had nothing but wonderful customer service from them, and she ships everywhere! Good way to be able to get your hands on some indies and other brands that dont ship international themselves.
