Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer and Paint Box Polish Destination Duo King's Cross Station, London Swatches and Review

This month, Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer and Paint Box Polish have teamed up for the regular collab series Destination Duo. These polishes are inspired by the same photo, taken by one of the makers. This time it is Pam of Paint Box Polish, who took a shot of King's Cross Station in London that provided a mix of nuanced grays and taupes with flashes of color. I already featured the BEGL shade yesterday, but let's have a look at both together!

Lou It Yourself Polish Con 2016 Limited Edition Polishes Swatches and Review

I had the privilege of meeting, hanging out, and even shipping large containers of polish with the mastermind behind Lou It Yourself this past weekend at Polish Con 2016. Lou is even more hilarious, sparkly, and fun than you can imagine in person. And she makes a mean polish in addition to vinyls and bath and beauty products. I employed a discriminating methodology to deciding which of her Polish Con 2016 Limited Edition Polishes to buy. It is called the "Clean Sweep Method." I simply stick my hand on the shelf and sweep all of the colors into my bag to purchase. I will now share with you the results of my haul, since a couple of these are available as over pours right now on the site.

Literary Lacquers Limited Edition Birthday Polish 2016 The Edge Swatches and Review

Every year Amy of Literary Lacquers releases a special limited edition polish for her birthday - this year it is called The Edge, after a quote from Kurt Vonnegut's 1952 novel Player Piano. 

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you can see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Let's have a look at how Amy interpreted this!

HydroPeptide On-the-Go Glow Travel Set Review

Travel always raises a ruckus with my skin and any easy solutions instantly catch my attention. HydroPeptide has designed the On-the-Go Glow Travel Set specifically for those of us who know we need to take products along, but get frazzled with the idea of decanting everything into cheap jars that may leak. The kit also doubles as a nice way to grab a selection of new things to try. Let's have a look!

GelMoment One Step Gel System and LED Lamp Review, Demonstration, and Swatches

The system we are going to be looking at today is GelMoment. It is sold through independent distributors - my kit was from Sheila Molles of Napa Gel. I also made an accompanying video to demonstrate prep, application, and removal as well as some tips. Let's get started!
