PR SAMPLE I painted my nails again! 😱 this tim PR SAMPLE

I painted my nails again! 😱 this time it's the currently available @bcblacquers polish from January's @theindbox !

You can pick this up at theindbox.com now through February 3rd!

This is actually 2 coats! I thought the polish would be a little a little sheer but I was wrong. :) I an still obsessed with the holo flakies in this one so I have left my orignal post/ review here as well:

I can't get over this one. Holo flakies are my new obsession and I can't get enough. The little pops of purple and red and blue glitters are perfect as well.
This one did apply super easily on a nail wheel and everything laid down nice and flat and the mix of glitters was a nice even spread.
The polish may possibly be a little bit sheer with 2 coats, but 3 may give full coverage!

PR SAMPLE @bcblacquers has 3 different Twilight i PR SAMPLE

@bcblacquers has 3 different Twilight inspired products that will be available as part of this month's @little_box_of_horrors !

"As If You Could Out Matte Me" is now my favorite polish related name and I will never be able to get over it.

This matte top coat will be a part of a duo sold with a quick dry glossy top coat and they go perfectly together!

I used one coat of this BCB matte top coat over the BCB quick dry top coat for these swatches and it left my mani looking perfectly matte. It dried semi quickly as well! Unfortunately, like with the glossy top coat, I did use a peel off base coat so I can't speak to the wear time, but that also usually depends quite a bit on body chemistry and can be different for everyone. 😊

This will be available January 18-30 at www.lbofhorrors.com!

This quick dry top coat will be a part of a duo sold with a matte top coat and they go perfectly together!
I did use one coat of this BCB quick dry top coat over my swatches of "This is the Skin of a Killer, Bella" and it left my nails looking pretty darn glossy! 😊 It did seem to be dry after a couple minutes and this does not contain toluene! It applied super easily and the polish itself laid down pretty flat on its own so I didn't notice any texture with just one coat as well. Unfortunately I did use a peel off base coat so I can't speak to the wear time, but that also usually depends quite a bit on body chemistry and can be different for everyone. 😊

Well hold onto your hats folks, I actually swatched a polish! 😅 @bcblacquers has 3 different Twilight inspired products that will be available as part of this month's @little_box_of_horrors !

The quick dry top coat and matte top coat I used in these swatches will also be available as a duo! Posts on those coming soon!

My swatches are 2 coats of this lovely flakie filled polish! It applied very easily and everything laid down nice and flat. And really I love the polish itself and all the different, but I can't get over the name and inspiration. It's just perfect. 😆

@bcblacquers Mass Effect themed polish for this month's @polishedgamers Box is "Beat the Reapers"!

This fun polish has a very unique mix of flakies! I love these colors together and this polish applied super easily on a nail wheel! Everything laid down nice and flat. I also super love how the gold flakies shine in the bright light and the dark purple flakies glow in low light. 💜💛
