Review: Polished for Days Lochness Monster

Any of you crazies out shopping in the madness?  NOT ME!  I'm home, relaxing and cleaning up a bit from yesterday and getting ready to put out the Christmas decor! YAY!

Today I have a review of a polish I received last month as part of a giveaway prize.  Polished for Days is ran and created by Jenna and is an indie polish brand that is newer to the indie scene.  This brand caught my eye this summer with their super bright, fun neon polishes!  I was lucky enough to be chosen as the winner of their 2.5k follower Halloween giveaway on Instagram.  I chose two polishes as my prize: Lochness Monster and Scaredy Cat.  This review is for Lochness Monster.

This polish is perfect for Black Friday!

Gray Jelly Sandwich + Metallics

I recently did this super easy nail art. It required no tape, no dotting tools, and no paint brushes.  See - super easy!

Sometimes life gets busy, sometimes I get burnt out.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails.  *GASP* Yes, it's true.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails at all.  When I get into these funks, I find some polishes I haven't used in a while and I do something really easy.

Alas, from my funk I give you a gray jelly sandwich + metallics.

Loaded Lacquer: The Jiggles Collection Swatches & Review

Loaded Lacquer is an indie nail polish company owned and created by Heather.  Her shop has only been open for a few months, but she is already very successful in creating and selling her amazing handmade nail polishes.  She specializes in these amazing glitter bombs that are 'inspired by nature' however, she recently released a collection of jelly polishes called The Jiggles.  These jelly polishes were created so that we could all make awesome jelly sammiches with her glitter polish!

What's a jelly sammich?  It's when you layer a glitter polish in between layers of a jelly polish.  Jellies are sheer so you can see the glitter peaking through the layers.  It really is a cool effect!

I recently purchased 2 jellies from The Jiggles Collection.  Here are my swatches and reviews.


Toasted Marshmallow

Toasted Marshmallow is a grey jelly.  The application is smooth and goes on easily.  Swatch is 3 coats, no top coat.  I love how light and soft this color is on its own.  Its also very shiny without a topcoat!

So shiny, so squishy


Island Punch

Island punch is a bright blue jelly.  It reminds me of the blue Hawaiian Punch.  Just like Toasted Marshmallow, the application was smooth and easy to apply.  Swatch is 3 coats, no top coat.  Im sorry my yucky stains kind of show underneath :( But Im loving this bright color! I have several glitters I cant wait to layer with this!  Island Punch is also very shiny on its own. 



I haven't tried a jelly sammich yet with these, but I know once I do it will look gorgeous!  I have several Loaded Lacquer glitters that I can't wait to try it with.  I hope you will go check out Heathers store and buy some of her pretty polishes!  I don't own many indies, but hers are definitely my favorite!
