Elixir Lacquers - Kandy Krusher

Hooray, it's the weekend! Hope you polish addicts have some fun plans.
Let's start the weekend with some fun glitter polish!


Elixir Lacquers - Kandy Krusher
This awesome glitter topcoat is from the upcoming  Roller Derby Ruckus collection from Elixir Lacquers, which will launch on February 1st.
(Also check out Betty Brutality which I posted a couple of days ago.)


At first I wasn't sure how these glitters would look together when I saw them in the bottle, but on the nail, I'm sold!
There's purple squares, big blue hexes, small red glitter, and some assorted iridescent glitter.
As expected, you do need to give it a good shake to bring up the heavier glitters, but it didn't give me much trouble. Shown is two coats and a bit of glitter-pushing to spread the bigger pieces how I liked.

(The base color is OPI - Russian Navy which I posted about yesterday.)


Totally in love with this! It was a perfect match over the navy blue and I love how unique it is. My glitter addiction lives on.
Check out swatches of the rest of this collection here from Nicole of Elixir herself!
The collection launches on February 1st and you can find 'em at elixirlacquers.com!

Elixir Lacquers - Betty Brutality

Hey guys! Are you in the mood for some rockin' glitter polish today? Of course you are!

Burgundy, blue, purple, iridescent... Awesome! Love the purple squares especially. 


Seriously loved wearing this polish! I found the glitter suspended well and was easy to apply - 2 coats, no extra fishing. Hooray!

Here's the base color alone because it is also awesome:


Maybelline - Cool Couture 
I recently picked up this beauty in a blogsale and I'm super pumped about it. 2 coats. Yum.

Elixir Lacquers - Elixiversary

Good morning everyone! I have a pretty glitter to show off to you today! And it is for a special occasion.

Elixir Lacquers is a year old! And Nicole has created a limited edition polish to celebrate the milestone.


Elixir Lacquers - Elixiversary
Isn't it pretty? There are so many fun glitters in there... Look! Circles!! I'm obsessed with the circles and now I want a polish that is only circles...
There are also squares and diamonds and hexes and tiny iridescent glitters and huge white ones! The mix is really fun and interesting.


This is two coats of the glitter on top of Pure Ice - Touch Me Softly.
You do need to do a bit of glitter-dabbing to get good coverage on your entire nail, but it wasn't a struggle.


Love it!
Elixiversary will be stocked three times - at 1:00pm EST on January 16th, February 16th, and March 16th.
There will be 25 bottles in each restock and after that, no more will be made! Set your alarms.

You can find Elixir Lacquers at elixirlacquers.com. And don't forget to check them out on Facebook.
Nicole also posted beautiful swatches of this polish on her blog, so check those out too!

Product sent for review.

Elixir Lacquers - Lov-a-Bully Collection

Hey guys! Good morning!

Today I'm going to be showing off four polishes from the Lov-a-Bully Collection from Elixir Lacquers.


10% of each bottle of the Lov-a-Bully Collection sold will be donated to the Atlanta Bully Rescue, an organization that works tirelessly to reduce the number of unwanted bully breeds in Atlanta and surrounding areas.


Elixir Lacquers - Spotted and Splotched
This is a clear base filled with small brown glitter and large white hex glitter. Like spots on a puppy! 
Shown is two coats over Essie - Don't Sweater It. The hexes weren't hard to fish out. Spreads nicely. 


Elixir Lacquers - Brindle
Small brown and orange glitter with bigger black hexes, clear base! Two coats shown over OPI - French Quarter for Your Thoughts. The black hexes needed a little fishing to get enough out but it wasn't that hard.



Elixir Lacquers - Blue Coat
A lovely dark blue shimmer! There's some holographic microglitter in there too but my lighting situation yesterday was not having any of it so sadly you can't see it in my pictures. 
The formula of this one is great, it covers in just two coats.

And I've saved the best for last...


Elixir Lacquers - Happy Tears
Love this one! White hex glitter, small blue squares, in a shimmery blue jelly base.
I layered it over China Glaze - Bahamian Escape, and the blue jelly changes the base color just slightly, also adding the cool blue shimmer. 
The glitters weren't hard to get onto the nail, this is two coats. 


Happy Tears over Blue Coat! They make a nice pair!

You can purchase these polishes here from the Elixir Lacquers site, $10 for 15mL.
As always they are Big 3 Free and cruelty free.
Don't forget to also check out EL on Facebook, and Nicole's blog!

What do you guys think? I love polishes that support a good cause!

Elixir Lacquers - Peppermint Barque


Hello darlings! Today I have a super festive polish to show off to you on my appropriately festive blog. Yay!

The lovely Nicole from Elixir Lacquers/Nail Polish Wars created this beauty and sent it to me for review. Let's see it!


Elixir Lacquers - Peppermint Barque
I love Christmas polishes! Here we have different sizes of red and green and white hex glitter in a clear base, plus lots of tiny iridescent glitter.


I layered two coats over Zoya - Dove to show off the bright glitter on a neutral base. It wasn't difficult to get good glitter coverage but I did fish for a few pieces to fill in some gaps.

You can see it layered over lots more colors in Nicole's post! It looks good over pretty much anything. Her post also includes the other two polishes in her Holiday Trio!


You can purchase this polish here from the Elixir Lacquers site, $10 for 15mL. Or get the trio for $25!
Don't forget to also check out EL on Facebook!

What do you guys think? Rocking any holiday polishes yet?

On the subject of the holidays... Check out this Christmas gift I bought myself yesterday:


Cupcake pillow!!! Yes. Can't wait for it to arrive.
