Swatch: F4 Polish Who-Ville, Elf On A Shelf and Christmas Wish

Hello Chics,

Continuing our holiday celebrations, here I am with another Christmas Collection. This is from F4 Polish.. 

I did review them previously here. Jenn, Lacey and Lexi created this beautiful Christmas in the City collection. They sent me these 3 beauties to swatch. 

 

First noticeable thing is label.They created special labels for the collection featuring Christmas elements and glitters. Without talking much lets jump to  swatches.

First one is Elf on a Shelf. It's a mixture of green micro glitters, medium red and green with big matte red hex glitters suspended in white crelly base. 

It can be wear on its own but i layered 2 coats of it on a thin coat of white and topped with poshe.

Next is Who-Ville. It is a clear polish with tiny neon green and big red hex wrinkled glitters. 

 Here i layered 2 coats of Who-Ville over Barry M's Spring Green. Topped with poshe. 

Last but definitely not the list is Christmas Wish. Its everything that a Christmas polish should be. It has large white hex, red heart glitter, medium red and green hex and tiny green glitters suspended in a clear base.

Here are two coats of Christmas Wish over black base with top coat. 

All the three polishes are easy to apply, no fishing is needed. Although bottles are jammed packed with glitters but still formula didnt get thick or clumsy. I love F4 polishes. 

all F4 polishes are big 3 Free!!!

These polishes costs $8 and also available in minis($4) upon requests.
Shipping to US and Canada $3 and $5 respectively and for intentional orders PM them on their FB wall.  

You can visit their Etsy store here(currently they are on holiday and will re-open after Christmas).

You can also check their Facebook Page to see all the new announcement, swatches and discounts. 

 Which one you like most.

Winter Holiday Challenge: Day 3- Festival of Lights

Happy Hanukkah!!!

Today's post is dedicated to all my Jewish followers. This  post is specially for you guyz. 

This is day 3 for the Winter Holiday Challenge and the theme is "Festival of Lights". 

For those who doesn't  know much about the Hanukkah like me, its a eight day long Jewish Holiday which is also know as Festival  of Lights. This year its been celebrating during December8 to December16th.

As, i said i dont know much about the festival so initially i thought to go with a Christmas light manicure but then wikipedia come to rescue and told me more about the festival and related elements.

Finally i created this:

 I prepared a yellow orange gradient base using acrylic colors.

On my index finger,I painted the Star of David which is the symbol of the Jewish faith and people(also called Shield of David). 

On my middle finger i made a Menorah which is typically speaking a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah. 

On my ring finger i draw a dreidel which is a four sided spinning top played during Hanukkah.Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which together form the acronym "a great miracle happened there".

 And that's pretty much what all i understood and i hope i have not disappointed you. 

Please do check what other girls come up with and also do comment.

Darling Diva Polish: Holiday 2012 Collection Swatches

Hello Chics, 

How you all doing. Holidays are almost here and  today I am gonna show you 3 of Darling Diva Polish's Holiday 2012 collection.

Beautiful, isn't it.. This is gonna be a picture heavy post :)

Carrie created this collection from being inspired by the movie "A Christmas Story". I am one of those people who haven't seen it yet but I am gonna see it tonight. This collection has 12 polishes. Some of the names are Electric Sex, Frah-zhee-lay, Sheer Poetry, A Christmas Story, Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra etc. :)

First of all Electric Sex. It is the one you really cant take your eyes off. Inspired by the Leg Lamp, this polish is a black jelly polish which have holographic gold hex and bars, small gold square glitters and tiny gold glitters.

 

I wore this polish on its own because i thought its too gorgeous to layered on. 3 decent coats are enough for full coverage. 

 

Next one is Triple Dog Dare.Now this is another beauty, it is a light blue/grey jelly with  pink-golden duo-chrome base and lots of large hex blue glitters, medium purple and aqua blue glitters. 

  In the above pictures i layered it over Barry m silver foil. i just now realized that i haven't took any picture to show duo-chrome base :(

This one above is over Barry M lilac foil. This polish simply reminds me of peacock feather :)

Glitters are easy to apply in the above pics i used 2 coats of Triple Dog Dare. 

And. the last one is Frah-Zhee-Lay. I got to see this movie, the names making me so curious :D

This polish is clear base glitter bomb with loads n loads of  tiny red and green glitters, small aqua green glitters, medium green glitters, large holographic hex and bar silver glitters.

In the above pics i layered it on a sheer green base. I used horizontal dab dab brush stroke for layering this polish and as you can see it made my nails look full of glitters in a single coat.However if you dont like so much glitters than you can layerthem normally like we apply our nail polish.

With black base, and this is the one i am currently wearing.This looks so Christmas-y to me. 

In the below picture i layered 2 coats of both of the polishes over white base.

 Now hopefully on this base you can see the beauty of both polishes.

 Triple Dog Dare showing its blue-ish jelly base.

Darling Diva Polishes costs between $8 -$12 for 15ml bottle and

ships international with very reasonable shipping rates.

You can buy these polishes on her Etsy Store and can contact her on Facebook Page.
