Delush Polish - Downton A-List Collection

Hello Everyone!  I'm so excited to share this new brand with you that opened on Etsy recently called Delush Polish!!  Adrianna, the owner, was kind enough to send me some of her gorgeous creations for my review!  She included this awesome scratch card!!


Even though I wasn't a winner, what a cute way to give out promotional codes!!! Adrianna describes it as: "Each order comes with the opportunity to scratch your heart out by revealing if you are one of the lucky few that have the opportunity to get anywhere from 10% to 50% off, buy one get one free, or free shipping on your next order.  You may even get the chance to name the next collection or polish!"  Isn't that awesome?

You can shop for Delush Polish HERE on Etsy.   To stay up to date on Delush Polish, you can head to Facebook, Twiter - @DelushPolish, and Instagram - @DelushPolish.

I have a few from the collection Downton A-List, which was inspired by one of Adrianna's favorite shows, Downton Abbey, ans id based on 12 of the show's characters!

First up, we have Unlucky Edith!


For Unlucky Edith, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


This blue is gorgeous!!  It has such a beautiful shimmer to it!  And the pastel glitters add beautiful little pops of color!


Adrianna's description: Unlucky Edith! (Inspired by Edith Crawley).

Edith is the middle child who always seems to get over looked in the Crawley household. I see Edith as a hopeless romantic who unfortunately is unlucky in love, the flecks of pale yellow, aqua and delicate iridescent shapes swim in a creamy sky blue base represents her wishful spirit, with the hope that one day she will find true love.


Close up!  See the shimmer!?!


Next, we have Treacherous Thomas.


For Treacherous Thomas, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 


I recommend another coat of top coat to make sure it's glass smooth, since this polish is loaded with awesome glitters!  It is extremely worth it though, because this polish is stunning.  My camera couldn't pick up all the beautiful holo mircoglitters, plus all the other fun glitter pieces in this too!  I think this is a very unique mix and would make a perfect addition to anyone who loves black polishes!
 

Adrianna's description : Treacherous Thomas (Inspired by Thomas Barrow)

Thomas, the character everyone loves to hate! No surprise that the base of this polish is a mysterious dark black with various holographic, shimmering shapes and sparks of red and teal flecks to symbolize the fireworks he is always causing and the constant mischief he is up to!
This next picture is in my kitchen lighting and blurred to show some holo!
 

Close up!


Next up, Forever Young. 


For Forever Young, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


What a gorgeous white base!! The light teal and red hearts contrast beautifully with the white and iridescent glitters!  I like it by itself, but I think this might be cool layered too, since a darker color might make those iridescent glitters pop!!


Adrianna's description:  "Forever Young" (Inspired by Matthew Crawley)

Matthew was taken from the show unexpectedly but will be forever remembered. He not only stole Mary's heart but he also stole ours with his sincerity and his down to earth nature. Forever Young features a beautiful creamy white base with iridescent shimmer and floating red hearts ♥


Close up!  Love those "hidden" glitters in there!


Next, we have The Matriarch.


For The Matriarch, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


This is a frosted purple base, which reminds me of a satin with the red, black, holo silver squares, and purple squares!  So pretty!


Adrianna's description: "The Matriarch" (Inspired by Lady Violet Crawley)

The Countess of Grantham is known for her dry sense of humor, quick wit and her ability to make each of her screen appearances memorable! The deep purple base is inspired by her name of course with sparks of red, violet and black shapes reminiscent of the sparks her remarks often make!


Close up!


Last but not least, Free Mr. Bates!


For Free Mr. Bates, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer top coat.


What a beautiful shade of blue!! And I loved the diamonds and purple squares in this!  It really makes it look unique!


Adrianna's description: "Free Mr. Bates!" (Inspired by Mr. Bates)

It was the perfect Downton romance until Mr. Bates was wrongfully accused of killing his estranged wife! Although times have been rough and some may say he has definitely been feeling the blues, there is hope at the end of the tunnel. The deep blue base hosts holographic shapes in different colours that represent the flicker of hope that one day Mr. Bates will be free to reunite with his beloved Anna.
 *btw I'm a sucker for a good romance ;)



Close up!

WonderBeauty Products - Roxie Hart

 
Hello Everyone!! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!  Today I have Roxie Hart by Wonder Beauty Products, and a very special polish, Stellar Blogger, which I received as an award in November for being a Stellar Blogger!! How sweet is that!!! :-)
  
For this mani, I started with two coats of Zoya Harley, which is a silver with a slight light purple shimmer to it.  I then added 1 coat of Roxie Hart by Wonder Beauty Products.  I didn't use a top coat, because Wonder Beauty Products has a great base, but I do recommend a top coat to increase the wear for this mani!  :-)
 
You can purchase Jen's products on Etsy, at Wonder Beauty Products and at Llarowe's shop. Polishes range from $10-11. Also, you can also see upcoming colors and get updates from her Blog and Facebook! I also see Jen, the owner, do a lot of fun giveaways too, so I would follow her to stay up to date on information!! She's on Twitter too - @WonderJenProd.
 
In the above picture, you can see one of the holographic shards in the bottle!  There are silver and red bar glitters, along with silver hexes and black heart glitters!
 Close up!
This next one is the special award, Stellar Blogger November 2012!  
 
For this mani, I started with 2 coats of OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest.
 
It has a slight purple base to it, which makes this so unique looking! 
 
Here is my bedroom lighting, where you can see that gorgeous shimmer!
 
I then applied 1 coat of Stellar Blogger.  I love the little stars in this, like on the pinky!!!
 
I think the dark base really makes the gold, black, and white glitters pop, along with the iridescent glitters!
 
The very special part about this is that it is engraved!!! How cool!!  This shows the Nov 2012.
 
 
And this shows the Crystal's Stellar Blogger!
 
 
And a close up!!
 
A very special thank you to Jen for this amazing award and polish!  I absolutely love it and am sorry I couldn't show you sooner!  I had been so busy that this beauty has been waiting a while to make an appearance! ;-)  I always love Wonder Beauty Products, and Jen always makes business a pleasure, as she is a sweetheart!

Wonder Beauty Products - Blue Sterling & 1 Dozen Heart Bouquet!


Hello Everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!  They always go quick, but things are starting to slow down for me at least!  ;-) 

Today, I have Wonder Beauty Products to show you!! First up is Blue Sterling!
 
Those first two pictures are using my light box, but the rest are in my kitchen lighting.  I wanted to make sure you could see the holo in this beauty!!
 
This is 2 coats along with Clearly On Top by KBShimmer.  I absolutely love this polish!  At first I thought it was going to be sheer and need 3 coats, but the second really applied nicely covering my nail line.  I think this might be sheer enough to layer though!  This would be a stunning top coat!
 
 
You can purchase Jen's products on Etsy, at Wonder Beauty Products and at Llarowe's shop. Polishes range from $10-11. Also, you can also see upcoming colors and get updates from her Blog and Facebook! I also see Jen, the owner, do a lot of fun giveaways too, so I would follow her to stay up to date on information!! She's on Twitter too - @WonderJenProd.
 
 
I love this shade - it's like a dusty blue and the holo is gorgeous.  In some lighting you can see the silver color to it as well.
 
This applied so nicely!  I can see myself reaching for this a lot!
 
 
Close up!!  See all that holo!?
Next we have 1 Dozen Heart Bouquet!  For the men out there, it's not too late to show some love to your lady with this beautiful polish! 
 
I used 2 coats of OPI Just A Little Rosti At This, then 1 coat of 1 Dozen Heart Bouquet, along with Clearly On Top by KBShimmer.
 
I love the little pops of green shards in here!  They were totally unexpected for me.  The pink and red hearts with pink, gold, and red hexes all mix together to make this a gorgeous glitter topper.
 
 
I almost put this over Mod About You, but I like the darker red with this to pop the lighter colors!  I do think this would be very pretty over lots of colors!  It almost reminds me of spring and flowers blooming!
 
 
I also this this is such a cute name too :-)
 

Close up!
 
I hope you enjoyed this look at Wonder Beauty Products!!  I have a couple more to show you soon!!!
