Dollish Polish: Sweet Dreams Are Made of Glitter

I had the opportunity to pre-buy some Dollish Polish lacquers from Overall Beauty a little while back and one of those lacquers was Sweet Dreams Are Made of Glitter, a shimmery mint-based polish with pink, blue, magenta, and purple glitter disbursed throughout. It arrived in the mail about a week ago and I've been itching to try it out ever since then.

 I started off my manicure with China Glaze Re-fresh Mint:

And added a coat of Sweet Dreams on top:

Dollish Polish: Spank You Very Much

It's Friday, b*tches! Let's get wild, let's get crazy, let's get lacquered up with Spank You Very Much! Anything with the word spank in its name is pretty much guaranteed to be amazing. And Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much fits into that. Even though Ace Ventura does nothing but thoroughly annoy me, I'll allow it to pass.

Spank You is a clear based lacquer with purple and pale blue hexes throughout.

Check out that marco:

And here we have Spank You over a jade green creme. Looks pretty great, huh? Not too much, not too little. Just right.

All photos were taken in artificial light, without flash. For my base coat, I used Essie Incognito, a turquoise/jade creme. This is two coats.

Incognito is one of my favorite Essie lacquers and a go-to color when I don't  know what else to wear and don't just want to wear one of the billions (okay, probably a slight exaggeration)  of vampy colors I own.

I really like my finished result. Incognito compliments Spank You Very Much nicely and doesn't overpower it.

Application was great. Nothing too complicated about Spank You but sometimes you need a little simplicity.

Dollish Polish: The Hero of Time

My brother and I used to take turns playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time all the time when we were younger. And then I got stuck in the water level and had to have him beat the rest of the game for me. But I have a lot of fond memories of Zelda. 

So Dollish Polish's The Legend of Zelda Duo holds a special place in my heart. 

Here is The Hero of Time:

Dollish Polish: GTL (Gym Tan Laundry)

I don't watch The Jersey Shore. And yes, I know it's just Jersey Shore, as one of my friends kindly points out to me whenever I say something gramma-ish like "That Snooki from The Jersey Shore was on TV again and she is really, really orange." (Seriously, these things come out of my mouth. I can't help it that there is a 76 year old woman who lives inside of me).

I don't live completely under a rock, because I know that Dollish Polish GTL makes reference to a phrase that something called The Situation or Pauly D uses to say that it/he is going to the gym, then tanning, then doing laundry. Or something like that. Like I said, I don't watch the show. I don't need to see pseudo-Italians grinding up on one another, urinating in public, getting into fights, being proud of calling each other guidos, and exchanging STDs with one another.

Regardless of the name, I was lucky enough to score GTL from Dolly's last restock. I scored two, in fact, and one of them is included in my 100 Likes Giant Indie Giveaway. The Giveaway ends Friday, so seriously get on it. 

Here is GTL:

Blue Mondays with Dollish Polish: 3 Best Friends That Anyone Could Have

Since it's Monday and I love 80s music and play-on-words, I'm going to shoot for doing "Blue Mondays" every Monday, featuring blue polishes.

And to start Blue Mondays, I have Dollish Polish's 3 Best Fridays That Anyone Could Have:

3 Best Friends is comprised of sky blue and silver hexes, silver holo bars, and tiny silver holos. It is an amazing topcoat.

Here are two macro bottle shots in slightly different lights:

And here she is on the nails! 3 Best Friends is loaded with so much glitter that this is only one coat of it on top of my base colors (more info on that after the jump). Don't you love it?

I wanted to do a little something different with my manicure. I'm not quite at the point where I feel comfortable doing any kind of nail art, but I thought I would change things up a little bit by using two colors. I chose China Glaze Flyin' High and Confetti Lonesome Dove:

I used two coats of Flyin' High and Lonesome Dove, respectively, adding one coat of 3 Best Friends and one coat of Seche Vite to top it off. All photos were taken in natural light without flash.

Application was great and 3 Best Friends was loaded with a lot of glitter, as evidenced by only needing one coat of it.

Dollish Polish: Expecto Patronum

I've been waiting and waiting to try out Dollish Polish's Expecto Patronum.  Expecto Patronum is a highly sought after polish of Dolly's and I'm still not quite sure how I ended up with it in my cart. All I know is that I'm thankful that I did. 

So after sitting on my shelf for far too long, I finally decided to try Expecto Patronum last night. It looked amazing in the bottle and didn't disappoint on the nail!

Expecto Patronum has a white jelly base with turquoise-hued hexes dispersed throughout.  The glitters are similarly sized and colored but the slight variations in both add layers of complexity to this polish.

Application was a dream. I had full opacity in two thin coats.

Dollish Polish: I'm a Material Girl

I was lucky enough to have my first indie polish purchase be from Dollish Polish.  Dolly creates unique, highly desired polishes and sells out very quickly when she does open shop.

One of the beauties I scored was "I'm a Material Girl" -- a collection of black, pink, and white matte hexagon glitters of varying sizes suspended in a clear base.
