PR SAMPLE @glampolish_ is back with their Seventh PR SAMPLE @glampolish_ is back with their Seventh Annual Halloween Horror Shop Event with a fantastic variety of horror inspired limited edition shades! I will have swatches of the Halloween Trio that is a part of this event to show you all! Release Date: Friday September 24th, 2021 Release Time: 11:00 AM PDT / 12:00 PM MDT / 1:00 PM CDT / 2:00 PM EDT Price: Individual Shades will be $12.50 each, the Trio Set will be $37.50 Halloween Trio Promo: For the first 72 hours hours purchase the trio set for $33.75. No Code Required! . . . Be sure to check out my blog @nerdlifenails for all the important release information, more photos, and my full reviews! Up first is this gorgeous purple, "If You’ve Got It, Haunt It" Description: Bright purple crelly with red and green glitter mix and aurora shimmer . . . My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. This bright purple crelly had full coverage in 2 coats! I love the mix of glitters and shimmer and this purple does have me in the spooky Halloween spirit now! The shimmer blends in perfectly with the glitter mix as well! I did only do one coat of top coat, but still felt a little texture so if you want to feel no texture, you might grab your favorite Glitter Grabber top coat and use that. It wasn’t anything crazy though so I just went with the one coat. I felt almost no texture after adding a matte top coat, so that glitter grabber should take care of it if you prefer no texture. 🙂 . . . #glampolish #purplenails💜 #purplenails💅 #purple #halloweennails #halloween #spookynails #fallnails #glitterynails #glitterpolish #glampolishhalloweenhorrorshop #nailsnails #nailaddict #glitternails
PR SAMPLE There is also a new lip balm being rele PR SAMPLE There is also a new lip balm being released as part of the @redeyedlacquer Carnival Collection release! 🍿 Be sure to check out my blog @nerdlifenails for more photos and my full review of the whole collection! . . . Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! This is "Butter Salty and Sweet" Price: $4.00 USD Description: A custom blend of sea salt caramel and good old movie theater butter! Inspiration: Caramel Corn . . . Well this lip balm really has me hungry now. It smells just like caramel corn and honestly it’s blowing my mind a little at how buttery smooth the texture of it is. It really left my lips feeling moisturized for a quite a while. So this lip balm is definitely true to its name AND inspiration! . . . #redeyedlacquer #lipbalms #lipbalmlover #lipbalmaddict #lipbalm #indiebrand #handmade #carnival #caramelcorn

Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! Last but not least is "I Hate This Game" Price: $10.00 USD Description: A topper with blue flakies and a sprinkling of red and gold flakies Inspiration: Clown throwing game . . . My swatches are 2 thick coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. For this topper I see the blue stand out more when looking at the bottle. I did once again do much thicker coats when swatching this topper, so there are definitely more flakies on my nails than my swatches of “Clink, Clink, Fish!”. I love how the blue metallic flakies are the focus in this one (I love blue so much, so I am a little biased). They just shimmer and shine. I also took photos of the topper over black and white as shown at the top of my blog post. This polish applied super easily and everything laid down nice and flat with only one coat of top coat! . . . #redeyedlacquer #metallicflakes #metallicnails #flakienails #flakietopper #nailpolishtopper #shimmerpolish #shimmernails #nailsnailsnails💅🏻 #indienails #carnivalnails #nailpolishlove
PR SAMPLE Up next from the @redeyedlacquer Carniv PR SAMPLE Up next from the @redeyedlacquer Carnival Collection is a shimmery polish filled with an insane amount of shimmer!

Up next is "Bump This" Price: $11.00 USD Description: A yellow base with orange/purple shifting shimmer and purple and green metallic flakies Inspiration: Bumper Cars . . . My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. I’m not normally one for greens (as I probably say too much) but oh my gosh how fun is this one?! The mix of flakies and shimmer is just 100% nuts and pretty dang unique! The mix of green and purple flakies look fabulous together and the shimmer just sets everything off. I’m not sure if I was able to capture just how pretty the shimmer is, so I definitely will say that this is one you will want to see in person! It also applied ultra easily and everything laid down nice and flat. . . . #redeyedlacquer #green #greennails #greenshimmer #greennailpolish #pinkshimmer #shimmerpolish #shimmernailpolish #nailsnailsnails💅🏻 #nailpolishobsession
PR SAMPLE Up next is another Carnival Collection PR SAMPLE Up next is another Carnival Collection metallic flakie topper from @redeyedlacquer ! Be sure to check out my blog @nerdlifenails for more photos and my full review! . . . Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! Up next is "Clink, Clink, Fish!" Price: $10.00 USD Description: A topper with red, blue, gold, and green metallic flakies Inspiration: Goldfish Game . . . My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. For this topper I see the green stand out when looking at the bottle. There definitely appears to be more green when I see it on my nails as well. I only used one coat of top coat and I feel no texture which is great with so many flakies! I also did very thin coats of this topper so if you did thicker coats, I imagine it would have much more coverage like my swatches of the other toppers. OR maybe you just want a thin coat of the topper! It would look great either way. Now for toppers, I always swatch them alone as I love seeing them by themselves, but I also took photos of the topper over black and white as shown at the top of my blog post. . . . #redeyedlacquer #metallicflakes #carnivalnails #carnival #flakienails #flakienailpolish #nailpolishtopper #nailpolishlove #nailpolishlove #nailpolishswatches #nailsnailsnailsnails

Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! Up next is "Eat More Cotton Candy!" Price: $11.00 USD Description: A pale light blue crelly with pink and purple metallic flakies Inspiration: Cotton Candy . . . My swatches are 3 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. What a cute delicate polish!! I actually think 2 thicker coats will get you full coverage but I did 3 just because I felt like I hadn’t done a good job with my own application (nothing to do with the polish itself, just me 🙂 ). I love this delicate light blue / lilac color of this polish though. It definitely reminds me of cotton candy and now I really have a hankering for some! The pink flakies are also an incredible perfect addition. The polish applied super easily (like all REL crellies honestly) and I adore how this polish looks matte! It somehow reminds me even more of cotton candy that way! . . . #redeyedlacquer #carnivalnails #carnival #purplenails💅💜 #purplenails💜 #purplenails💅 #crelly #crellynailpolish #crellynails #flakienails #metallicflakes #purple #nailpolishswatches #nailpolishfreak #nailsswatch

Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! Up next is "Butter Together" Price: $11.00 USD Description: A white crelly with red and gold metallic flakies Inspiration: Popcorn . . . My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. Now I do love popcorn, so this is definitely one of my top picks of this collection! It applied super easily and 2 thick-ish coats was enough for full coverage! I love this white crelly though. It’s almost unassuming–you look at it quickly and may not notice the flakies in it, but look again and there’s just all the sudden a ton of shimmer! This polish is great on its own, or would make a great backdrop for some nail art too! I really can’t wait to wear this one again soon! . . . #redeyedlacquer #popcorn #crellynailpolish #crellynails #shimmernails #carnivalnails #carnival #popcornnail #metallicflakes #metallicnails #nailsnails #nailpolishswatch

Woo! 🍿 There are 3 flakie filled toppers and 3 gorgeous crellies (and you know I love REL’s crellies), along with a delicious (don’t eat it though) lip balm! I am so ready to show these gorgeous polishes off and I hope you’re excited to see them! . . . Be sure to check out my blog @nerdlifenails for more photos and my full review! Release Date: Thursday, September 23rd 2021 Release Time: 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET Price: $60.00 USD for the full collection (this does not include the lip balm), or all polishes are available individually! . . . Up first is "I Ain’t Afraid Of No Heights" Price: $10.00 USD Description: A topper with a rainbow mix of metallic flakes Inspiration: Ferris Wheel My swatches are 2 thick coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. For this topper I see the grey / gunmetal stand out when looking at the bottle, but also the rainbow of flakies. I did actually do much thicker coats when swatching this topper, so there are definitely more flakies on my nails than my swatches of “Clink, Clink, Fish!”. This is a gorgeous rainbow of flakies and really all I see is just sparkle. This is such a fun topper and possibly my favorite of the 3! I also took photos of the topper over black and white as shown at the top of my blog post. This polish applied super easily and everything laid down nice and flat with only one coat of top coat! . . . #redeyedlacquer #flakiebomb #flakienails #flakienailpolish #flakiepolish #flakies #nailpolishtopper #nailpolishwow #sparklynails #carnivalnails #carnival #nails #naturalnails #nailsofinsta
PR SAMPLE This gorgeous flakie filled magenta red PR SAMPLE This gorgeous flakie filled magenta red polish is the final of the 4 @jandberries Star Trek Villains polishes I have to show you all! ❤ This gorgeous quad will release Sunday, September 19th! Release Time: 9:00 AM PST / 10:00 AM MST / 11:00 AM CST / 12:00 PM EST Price: $45.00 USD for the full collection of 4, or all polishes are available individually! . . . Be sure to check out my blog @nerdlifenails for all the important release info, more photos, and my full review! This is "Q Know Who" Price: $12.00 USD Description: A deep magenta base that’s packed with large crystal flakies that shift through red, copper, orange and gold Inspiration: Q . . . My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. Ooooooooooooooooo this polish is “straight fire” as the kids say! The base as mentioned is a deep magenta, but with the shifting flakies, I think it appears to be a little bit of a brighter red. I love it! It applied super easily and I had no issue getting flakies on my nail and full coverage with two coats. I also only used one coat of top coat and I feel no texture for the most part. I do want to mention to give this polish a little bit of drying time before top coating if you did semi thick coats like I did. I did actually smoosh a nail pretty badly because I top coated a little too fast, but it all settled back down and evened out so well that I don’t think you’ll be able to even tell where it happened! It does also appear in my photos like there are some spots without flakies (like on my middle finger), but that is just due to the angle of the photo and my hands. There are definitely flakies there but they blend in well or I didn’t get enough of my nails focused on in my photos. . . . #jandberries #jenandberries #rednailslove #rednail #rednails❤️ #flakies #magentanails #rednails #rednailsdontcare #nailsnailsnailsnails #nailpolishlove #nailpolishswatches #rednaildesign #nerdlifenails #startreknails #startrek
