PR SAMPLE Well get your sunglasses out folks beca PR SAMPLE

Well get your sunglasses out folks because we have a sparkly neon polish from @bcblacquers this month! This @little_box_of_horrors polish features a dash of reflective glitter and a fun mix of glitters and flakies! I did apply this to a nail wheel and I'm pretty impressed with how it applied so easily. I think reflective polishes tend to be a little bit thicker, but since there is only a dash, that didn't affect the texture. I do also feel like my photos just don't do this polish justice. I like seeing it on a nail wheel better than my own photos 🤣 Be sure to check out all the lovely swatches of this one!

This month's LBH theme is 1960s Horror TV/Movies and this polish will be available March 18-30 at www.lbofhorrors.com!

@bcblacquers also has a DC Comics inspired cuticle oil for @hellahandmadecreations this month!

This is a very unique scent! It's like a grown up fancy Sprite is my first take on it. I definitely pick up some lemon / lime but with some sweetness and bitterness too! Nothing horribly bitter, but grapefruit has a little bit of a bitter-citrus scent to me, so that's what I mean. There is a little bit of musk but it's sweet so it's not like, smoky-musky smelling. This was definitely an interesting one to describe!
The oil itself is great like always. I applied it and it soaked in well and left my cuticles looking great.

@bcblacquers is continuing their DC Comics @hellahandmadecreations theme with a polish and cuticle oil release!

Full disclosure I. Love. Teal. So I'm pretty biased about how awesome this polish is. 😎  I will also add that it did apply very easily on a nail wheel and it laid down nice and flat.
I am also obsessed with the purple shimmer you can see in very low light conditions. There is just a ton of shift to this polish!

March's PPU theme is Rainy Days!

Well this is another new to me scent for the books! I actually don't know if I've really smelled figs, but I do know brown sugar and this oil just has a nice subtle sweet and earthy scent. It's not overly sweet, not musky, just nice. There is a hint of caramel, but I think that just makes the brown sugar portion sweet. And as I type this, I accidentally got the oil brush on my nose, so I'm going to be smelling this for awhile. 🤣 I'm okay with that!
The oil itself left my cuticles looking and feeling great! Now I just need to oil more! Lol!

For March's Rainy Days PPU theme, BCB has created {Blurred Lights}

This polish, while a black holo base, definitely leans brown to my eye with all of the fantastic shimmer added 🤩 I also love the mix of holo AND holo flakies--it just adds extra sparkle! I did apply this polish on a nail wheel and it may even be a one coater! Two coats may be needed, but it definitely applied ultra easily and went on smooth.
