Holo Holiday: Snow is in the air!

Hi Everyone!! ^_^ This week is going to be a week of Holographic Holiday manicures. Today's post polish was a lovely gift from a friend. I actually received a few Holo's from her all of them to die for. Ladies! I swoon over the holo's I was given because they are truly amazing. This is 3 coats of Red. 

The first two pictures where taken inside with a flash and the other two outside.


 I have a few fimo sticks from Bundle Monster and I picked out the Snow flake stick and cut up a few. I know they might look a bit large but they really aren't.


I really liked how this turned out.

Pure Ice Diamond Couture Review

Hey everybody:) Today I have 6 of the Pure Ice Diamond Couture Collection for y'all. I think that these polishes are perfect for those Christmas and Holiday parties I know y'all are attending this year. Your nails can make that statement and sparkle for you all night while you are getting your party on!

First up is Silver Lining. You may have seen this polish in my other review but I wanted to show y'all again.  A clear polish with silver glitter and silver diamond large shard flakes. This polish is amazing alone.




The Family Jewels is up next. This polish has gold shards along with gold glitter. This polish really went on thick and the shards came out in bunches, but after a little spreading I got my mani the way I wanted it:)




Material Girl is a rose pink polish with pink glitter and shards. This would really rock all those black cocktail dresses and give you that pop of color. 




Party Of Five is next. This polish has green glitter with green shards. This color I had to wear around for a while for it to grow on me (y'all know I'm not a huge green fan). I think with the right outfit and maybe just a accent nail this color could be fun.




Tinsel Town caught my eye when I opened the package. This polish has tons of blue glitter and shards. I thought this color covered better than the rest.




Hot-Rocks is up last. What a great polish with black base and silver glitter and shards. This polish really hits the spot with going out and having fun. It really makes your nail pop with all the glitter.




And with all Pure Ice Nail Polishes, all the polishes in the Diamond Couture collection are free from formaldehyde, toluene and DBP. And are available at Walmart stores nationwide for $1.97 each.

Final thoughts on these glitter bombs. I love how these might be a better choice than dawning that cocktail ring or big piece of jewelry. I think if your looking for that extra sparkle for the holidays this is a great deal for $1.97 and you can go conservative with a accent nail or all out bling with all over coverage for your mani.

P.S. Have you checked out our Facebook page? We have a great little giveaway going on over there, here is the link:  https://www.facebook.com/SouthernSisterPolish/app_228910107186452 

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away

Hello all today I have for you a few polishes from China Glaze's Cirque Du Soleil Worlds Away collection! Beautiful bold colors that are amazing! I was caught by surprise by my favorite which I will share at the end of my post here. So shall we get started?

Bend Over Backwards is described as a " pepper red shimmer"... This is 2 coats that went on perfectly and the shimmer just SHINES. 


Creative Fantasy is described as a "grape neon" and it doesn't disappoint! This is 3 coats of Creative Fantasy which dried matte.


Get Carried Away is described as " Multi-sized black and red collage glitter with black creme". I put two coats of Get Carried Away over China Glaze White on White on my index, middle and pinkie and 2 coats on on my ring finger by itself. 



 Hanging in the Balance is described as "Cerulean blue creme". This is 2 coats of Hanging in the Balance.

And this is how I wore it! I took China Glaze Deviantly Daring and White on White and my nail art brush and a doter...a few swipes of Deviantly Daring and then I did the same with white! Loved it!!!

 Igniting Love is described as "Hot tamale red creme". This is 2 coats of Igniting Love.


Water You Waiting For is described as "Shimmering blue green purple". You really catch the colors when you turn your hand this way or that..this is 3 coats of Water You Waiting For and on my ring finger has Hanging in the Balance with one coat of Water You Waiting For.


These colors are really lovely and to me so capture Cirque Du Soleil! My favorite polish was really a close call with these between Water You Waiting For which is no surprise as I love blue polishes that shift to green and purple! The surprise for me is that I absolutely fell in love with Bend Over Backwards!
