Different Dimension Polish Review: Part 2

Welcome back to Part 2 and Day 2 of my swatchapalooza review of Different Dimension Polish. Again today I am bring you 4 amazing polishes. Let's go see, shall we? *Warning, picture heavy*

First up we have Un-Teal We Meet Again. This is a lovely glitter topcoat with different sizes, shades, and shapes of teal glitters.

Here is Un-Teal We Meet Again all on it's own. As always (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat. You can see that it's a great top coat but you can use it alone if you build it up with layers!

Here it is in the sun. Look at how sparkly it is! Gorgeous isn't it!? This glitter was smooth and easy to apply without any problems!

I have a created another skittle to show you the polishes over different colors (one coat). (l-r) Essence Romeo, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, OPI Holiday Glow, and China Glaze Custom Kicks.

Next up is Different Dimension Rake, Crunch, Jump! This is a lovely glitter topcoat full of neutral glitters! Who doesn't love neutral glitters! I love them! :)

Here it is all by itself. As always (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat.

This was inspired by the leaves you rake up and jump in as a kid. Heck, if I didn't live in Arizona (we don't really have trees that do this) I would still jump in a pile of leaves!

Here it is with the skittle (one coat). (l-r) Essence Romeo, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, OPI Holiday Glow, and China Glaze Custom Kicks. Rake, Crunch, Jump! Is a perfect name for this polish. It is such a warm glitter that is easy to apply!

Up next is Different Dimension Honest Feels a Lot Like Mean. This glitter is also perfect for fall. Pink and brown glitters of different sizes are a win! (one of my favorite color combos!)

All by it's lonesome goodness! As always (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat. Even in the shade it's so sparkly!

In the sun the pink does shy a way a bit for the camera but in person you can still see the pink! Eek! Gorgeous!

Here it is over the skittle (one coat). (l-r) Essence Romeo, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, OPI Holiday Glow, and China Glaze Custom Kicks. You can really see the pink pop here, especially on my ring finger over OPI Holiday Glow. Again, I had no issues with this polish. The glitters behaved well! (I know, I sound like a broken record but that's a good thing! It means consistency!)  :)

And our final polish today is Different Dimension Warm Fuzzies. A stunning chocolate brown scattered holo! *Swoon* ;)

Shade shot. As always (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat. This polish was inspired by when Missi (the owner and creator of Different Dimension) worked in "worked in customer service for a telephone company the trainer always told us to give our callers 'the warm fuzzies' so hopefully you'll get them wearing this polish!"

Um...yes. I did get warm fuzzies wearing this. Wanna see!? Of course you do!

Bam! Check out the scattered holo and richness of this polish! This is still (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat. This polish applied heavenly. Some streaks are apparent but nothing too bad. But the holo goodness is amazing. This picture doesn't do it justice.

My favorite from today's polishes? It would have to be Un-Teal We Meet Again. I am a sucker for teal glitter! (don't get me wrong, I love them all though!)  :)

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post for my third installment of Different Dimension Polish Review! I'll tell you a secret.....it's all about a certain famous TV show!

Different Dimension Polish Review: Part 1

Welcome Owlets to a three day three part post of a review of some amazing polishes by Different Dimension! I was approached to review some polishes and was given 12 to review! Thank you so much!
Now onto the swatchapalooza! :) Warning: picture heavy! Like 2-3 picture for each polish today! :)

First up is Different Dimension Social Suicide.  This is based on the Movie Mean Girls. This glitter is a mix of black and white glitters of different sizes and shapes....no bar glitter! :)

Here is Social Suicide on it's own. As always: (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat.

Here it is in the sun. So um, if you are looking for a black and white glitter you need this one! This polish applied wonderfully! I had no issues at all and just look at it! Wowza! :)

Here it is in a skittle (one coat)! (l-r) Essence Romeo, OPI Funky Dunkey, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, and China Glaze Westside Warrior. Oh my goodness Social Suicide is great over any color! But I think I am totally loving it over Essence Romeo and Leighton Denny Berry Nice.

Next we have Different Dimension Space Camp. This is a slight silver jelly base with lots of silver holo glitter and silver holo hexes.

Here is Space Camp on it's own. As always: (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat. You all know I love a good sparkle right? Well, Space Camp has that without disappointment. Ready?

Bam! Full on sun! Glorious! This is such a stunning polish, I was blown away by it. And guess what? Super easy to apply! Woot woot!

Here it is in the skittle (one coat)! (l-r) Essence Romeo, OPI Funky Dunkey, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, and China Glaze Westside Warrior. (Yep, I used the same base colors on all these polishes today!) And it looks fabulous over all the colors!

 

Now we have Different Dimension 50 Shades. I think it's safe to say we all know what it was inspired by ;) This is a grey jelly with "black & white shreds, gunmetal & matte grey hex glitter, superfine grey flakies, black hex, holographic silver squares, as well as black, sparkling white, holographic silver ultrafine glitter and holographic grey glitter!" Wow! Phew! That's a lot of glitter! :)

 Here is 50 Shades in the shade! Haha! :) As always: (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat.

Full sun. Here you can really see the grey of the jelly base. Again, another lovely polish to apply. Some of the larger glitters didn't apply as much as others but with more coats you couldn't tell! 

Here's the skittle once more (one coat). (l-r) Essence Romeo, OPI Funky Dunkey, Leighton Denny Berry Nice, and China Glaze Westside Warrior. The grey jelly base to tinge the base color ever so slightly but not too bad that you couldn't wear it over a bright base color! But I am loving it over Essence Romeo!

Final polish today is Different Dimension Roswell. This is a stunning blue/green duochrome that isn't camera shy.

Just check out the duochrome-iness! And in the shade! :) As always: (l-r) 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat.

Full sun. And lovely prettiness! As you can see one coat still has visible nail line. Two coats a tad bit of visible nail line but that depends on how much you gloop onto the brush! I had no issues with this polish either.

My favorite from today? So hard to choose! But probably Space Camp......it's so sparkly! :)

Thank you Different Dimension for these amazing polishes! Stay tune for tomorrow and part 2 of the swatchapalooza!

Lest We Forget.....

Today is Remembrance Day in Commonwealth Countries and Veteran's Day in the US. Since I lived in Canada for about 20-ish years I more tend to associate November 11th with Remembrance Day. It is a day to remember the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

I remember the ceremony at 11am over at the cenotaph in town, freezing in the cold, and the lone bugle playing at the end of the minute of silence (which always seemed forever long as a kid).

"The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war." (wikipedia)
 

In Flander's Fields by Colonel John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
      Between the crosses, row on row,
   That mark our place; and in the sky
   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
   Loved and were loved, and now we lie
         In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
   If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
         In Flanders fields.

So I created a mani with a Remembrance Day poppy. I used Finger Paints Black Expressionism (two coats) and Zoya Sooki.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Round-up!

This week The Digit-al Dozen Did Music. I hope you enjoyed the manis as I have! Here is a quick break down of each day (just in case you missed it!)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music and TGIF - Glimmer by Erica Harvest Moon

Day 5 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music is also TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indy Indie Friday! And so I picked an Indie that I have that is also the name of a song! :) This stunning glitter is Glimmer by Erica's Harvest Moon.

She was inspired by:

the haunting light of the harvest moon. It is a stunning blend of gold, brown, orange, and burgundy glitters. It showcases all of the rich warm colors of fall.

Just love these colors together! It totally is fall in a bottle! Like always: (l-r) is 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, and 1 coat of Harvest Moon.

Here is Harvest Moon (one coat) applied over OPI Skull & Glossbones, OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI, OPI Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window, and OPI Fly.

Harvest Moon applied wonderfully as a top coat. Just like my other Glimmer by Erica glitters I had no issues except that sometimes too much glitter applied. But that's alright! I'll take it! :)

Bottle shot and macro bottle of Spicy Pumpkin.

Please go over to her Facebook page here to be kept up-to date with her news.

And bookmark her etsy page here so that you can buy her polishes! :)

Don't forget to check out Emma's TGIF post over at Manicurity! She is also in The Digit-al Dozen!

This is Harvest Moon by Neil Young. It is used a lot in the movie Eat, Pray, & Love. (Good movie by the way!)

Oh and check out the best photo bomb ever! He (my nephew) was watching me take pictures! :)  (Don't worry, he wasn't there for the application of the polish).

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows

Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music brings us to a specific song: Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbow by Lesley Gore. For some reason (thank you Simpsons) this song gets stuck in my head.....a lot. And I really only know the line that has the title!

And now after watching this, I guess I knew the majority of the song with just knowing the title! :)

So, if you can't tell, my index finger is sunshine! I used Sinful Colors Unicorn (two coats) as the base and stamped using Klean Colors Metallic Orange and Bundle Monster BM301 for the rays. I also added Orly Shinning Star to make it sparkle. (Did you catch that? Shinning Star is also a song title! wink wink!)

Next up are my lollipops! Essence No More Drama (two coats) for the base and  Konad Black with Klean Colors Metallic Green, Klean Colors Metallic Aqua, and Klean Colors Metallic Fuschia for the lollipops. I used Cheeky stamping plate CH9 for the images.

My rainbow is Essie Borrowed & Blue (two coats) using Klean Colors Metallic Aqua, Klean Colors Metallic Yellow, Klean Colors Metallic Green, and Klean Colors Metallic Fuschia with Konad Q1 for the rainbow!

And finally more rainbow pinky finger (I needed rainbows to be plural!) I used Essence Romeo as my base with Essence Hello Holo (two coats) for the shimmery holo goodness!

Just another quick image of the fun colors and rainbow goodness! :)

And here is the clip that forever got this song stuck in my head! You are welcome! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Song Skittle

Day 3 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music. And today I have a skittle that looks totally random but in all actuality, isn't. That's right! There is a rhyme and reason to my madness...sometimes. :)

This mani is a Song Skittle! Well, as close to one as I could get.

First up we have Catrice Browno Mars. So this is the one except to the song name polishes. But I had to use this polish. I mean come on, Browno Mars? It needed to be used in this themed week and in this mani! :) This is two coats and applied like a dream like every Catrice polish!

On my middle finger we have China Glaze Strawberry Fields. This made me think of Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles. Two coats.

On my ring finger we have Catrice Sing: Hey, Dirty Lilah! Which reminds me of Plain White T's Hey There Delilah. I love this polish. This is two coats and still, sadly, the silver shimmer doesn't show up as much on the nail. :( But I still love it! I also stamped a fitting image using Konad Black and Cheeky plate CH27.

And finally for my pinky we have Catrice I Wear My Sunglasses at Night (two coats). Gorgeous black polish with multi-colored glitters! So much fun! Now this song will be stuck in your head! Muwahahaha! :)

So what did we learned today? That Catrice polishes have totally awesome names! And formulas too! :)
