Make Up Store ~ Muchion

Today I have a very special polish to share!

Make Up Store ~ Muchion 

Named after the wonderful Muchion! Who's Muchion you ask? Well, she is the lovely lady who was so kind to let me do a group order of holographic polishes and ship them to Canada!

MUS has fantastic shipping by the way. They super packed everything in large bubble wrap and they ship with a hazardous material licence, not like some of those other companies that lie and say they are sending "art supplies".

Now back to the polish...

This polish is like a gorgeous deep shimmery red. It looks fantastic in all lights. 
Above is outdoors in sunlight.

I usually am not gravitated to reds, but this one speaks to me. This is the first red polish I have actually ever worn...I think.

The shot below was taken in a sunlight filled room.
"Muchion" is packed with shimmery, micro-flakie goodness.

Thank-you Muchion for sending this polish to me, 
and thank you Make Up Store for making it! 

How could would it be to have a polish named after you??? Which reminds me that I need RBL Scrangie...

MUS polishes can be bought at Make Up Stores around the world, starting at $14. For purchasing within the USA and Canada visit the Denver store or phone in to place your order =)

Make Up Store ~ Gabriela

Today's review is of an unexpected colour! 

Make Up Store ~ Gabriela
Gabriela is a Barbie-pink creme with a touch of shimmer. This is totally not a colour I would normally reach out to buy and I was hesitant to put it on, but after I tried it I started to like it. I'm a sucker for neutrals, teals and purples, but now pinks are starting to grow on me!

I think this is a really fun colour, perfect for summer!

These pictures don't really do it justice either! It is extremely vibrant in real life,borderlining neon!

This polish was sent to me by the lovely Muchion over at MUS =)

Make Up Store ~ Blenda


Today I have an exciting polish to show you!

Make Up Store ~ Blenda

This is a fantastic polish for layering or wearing as a subtle shimmer on bare nails. Here I have 2 coats layered over the black creme, MUS Mika.

The black base coats bring out the gorgeous shimmery/flakie magic of Blenda. It gives off a blue/grey tint and plenty of sparkle!

I'm excited to try it over other base colours to see how they will transform!

Here's Blenda on it's own // 2 coats

Hope you enjoyed! Any thoughts on what colour should I try layering Blenda over???

This product was sent for review by the lovely Muchion from MUS!

Make Up Store ~ Mika

Hello! Today I have a review of
Make Up Store ~ Mika

Mika is a super
glossy black creme polish. This is 2 coats with no top coat, but you could easily get away with only 1 and have it be opaque.

I think Make Up Store is a fantastic brand, but I wouldn't personally spend this much on a black creme polish. ($14) I'd ratherbuy one of their fantastic holo or shimmer polishes! (
Which I'll also be sharing with you)

Overall, Mika has a great, smooth formula and I also love MUS's bottle design! I'm interested in trying some of their other cremes.

China Glaze ~ Prismatic Collection ~ Swatches + Review

Hello Everyone! I have something exciting to show you today!! Here is the much anticipated China Glaze Prismatic collection! I know after seeing swatches, many people were disappointed that these weren't holographic like the OMG and Kaleidoscope collections, but I still really love them! They are a gorgeous mix of different coloured/sized glitter and a few of them have duochrome, colour shifting properties. I have enough holos anyways...

There are LOTSSS of pictures! Click "read more" to see the swatches as well as the collection over black, and a comparison of similar colours...
So here we have from L-R:
Prism (purple), Full Spectrum (pink), Ray-Diant (yellow-green), Optical Illusion (green), Liquid Crystal (blue), and Polarized (silver)
Blurred so you can see the glitter in action! (w. topcoat)

All swatches have 3 coats over a clear plastic nail swatchsicle
Artificial Light (w. topcoat)
Sunlight Indoors (w. topcoat)

Sunlight indoors (w. topcoat)


Look at the duochrome effect!
Click to see a great close up of the polish texture (no topcoat)

^^^ CLICK ME! CLICK ME!!! ^^^
Comparison of China Glaze Prismatic collection with
the Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe collection.

They are similar colours, but the CC's don't have the different sized/coulours glitters, nor the multichrome effect. The CC's also have some holographic glitter in them. In my opinion, you need BOTH collections! =D

Top Row: 3 coats
Bottom Row: 1 coat over black (colours in reverse order)

1 coat over black (w. topcoat + colours in reverse order)
The black base really brings out the multichrome.


I really like them over black. My favourites so far are probably the blue, the pink, the purple, then the green. Also, did I mention that they are silver caps??? It is hard to show in pictures due to all the sparkle, but with the exception of the silver, all the polishes are quite multichrome! What more could I ask for?? Honestly I think adding any holoness (linear of scattered glitter) would be overkill.



So what do you think?? Even thought they aren't holographic, will you still be picking some up?



ps, I've told myself that I am not allowed to buy polish for an indefinite period of time... I've gone 10 days so far! =D
