Nail Mail The Holo Hookup Box for February

I always said if I loved all the colors from the Holo Hookup Box, then I would buy it. The February 2017 box did it for me. The Cupcake was the first one that caught my eye, even though those gorgeous silvery colors don't look good on me, I'm drawn to them like a moth to a flame. This one has a pink shift, so it may not be as bad, lol. Then the other colors- oooooh. I knew it had to be mine.

It was rainy and cloudy, so the picture is with a flash. They are all holos, and the Cupcake has flakies in it. These are my first beyond the nail polish (I believe they're a Canadian brand), and my first Glisten and Glow polish (though I love their quick-dry top coat, used to be called HK girl, now it's just top coat, lol). I have a few Cupcake polishes (this makes 5), and with this one I now have 22 Different Dimensions.

These are perfect colors for Valentine's Day - or anti-Valentines Day, lol. Or all year. I really like that the pink isn't a super cool toned pink, and I think the Glisten and Glow will be a gorgeous red. And oh those flakies in the Cupcake!!!!! As I said, those slivery colors aren't always the best with my skin tone, but I am such a sucker for those kind of polishes.


I did buy the December 2016 box, I really wanted the shade Vivien, after Vivien Leigh, who is one of my all time favorite actresses (from my all time favorite movie, Gone with the Wind!), I kept Vivien and Audrey (the Different Dimension), and my friend who got me into nail polish took Grace (the Cupcake polish), and Mae (the Glisten and Glow).

Here is Vivien Leigh, so so beautiful.

And here is the box, just so you can see, picture/swatch by Lakkomlakkom (she has BEAUTIFUL nails!!! #goals!!!). That Different Dimension pink is a cool pink, so not the best for me, but I still love it, lol.

Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails.

Try it Tuesday- Different Dimension Grace

I saw this polish on the Different Dimension website and made sure I got it when I placed my order. I do think their shipping is kind of high, but I was lucky enough to be gifted a free shipping code, and so I bought several.

I like this polish well enough, it was great at 2 coats and no formula issues, but I do think the color is different than what I saw on the website- or the shift is. I didn't really see the magenta on my own nails like in their pictures, I'll show you what I mean.

This is the website picture.

Here are some of my pictures- mine almost looks more brown and orange, vs. magenta red and orange.

Here's another shot in sunlight - the red showed more in the sun, but it isn't the magenta-y red I was hoping for.  Again, it's not like I don't like the polish, but.....

Here's another picture in the sun


And another in the shade

And a macro, because I took one so you need to see it, lol.

I just wish it were more pink instead of brown/rust/whatever.  It really reminds me of Sitting Fireside by ILNP.

Oh well, I hope the other polish I bought from this collection, Alexandria, looks like I want it too, lol.



I do love Different Dimension polishes, and think they do beautiful things.

Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!!

2017 SPAMALAMA Different Dimension Black Friday 2017 Haul

This is another kind of cheatsy Black Friday haul from Different Dimension- someone on Makeup Alley gifted me a free shipping code, so I placed an order. I fell in love with a couple of their Winter 2017 collection, and had to have them.

L-r Alexandria, Grace, Ghost of Jupiter, Lake Shore Drive, Indiana Polish

I'm not always into green polishes, but when I saw Alexandria on Instagram, I instantly wanted it.

I really like Different Dimension, though I find their shipping is a little high. I do like that with each order they send a scratch off card with discounts or free shipping on your next order. Their polishes have always been great, and they do some really unique things.

Try it Tuesday- Different Dimension Collect Beautiful Moments

This is Different Dimension Collect Beautiful Moments. This is such a glowy beautiful purple- it was really hard to capture on camera. I put this down for one of my favorite indie polishes for 2017.

It was opaque in 3 coats, and it was just so gorgeous! A super easy formula, too.  I went to a couple of soccer games this weekend, and couldn't stop looking at my nails.

It was really hard to capture the truly glowing nature of this polish. If you love purples, you NEED this, lol. Different Dimension is a great brand. One of the fun things they do is when you get an order, they include a scratch off card that has various discounts on it- like 20% off an order, or free shipping.

This picture on the left was outside, the rest were under my daylight lights- so hard to photograph!

I don't think this has UP (Unicorn Pee) in it, but is certainly glows and is truly a beautiful polish!!

Fun Halloween Polishes!!!

Most brands put out some sort of Halloween collection. Many Indie polish makers do, China Glaze usually does- OPI has in the past, but I think it's been awhile! So here are some fun polishes I have for Halloween.

First up is Nine Zero. I have Swamp Thing, a gorgeous murky green with gold shimmer,

and Spooky Lights, which is a holo base with purple, green, and orange glitters. This is 3 coats.

Then I there's China Glaze. This is I Love Your Guts- it's a lumpy textured polish, lol, so if you hate those, don't search for this! This first picture is with no top coat- it dries matte.

Then I put a top coat on it.











This is China Glaze's Zombie Zest- this is hard to find (htf), but I got this in a destash for only like

$3! Another murky green, but much more murky than Nine Zero Swamp Thing above.

This one is Different Dimension Once Upon a Midnight Dreary- it was from their 2016 Halloween collection. This is a jelly- I love these squishy polishes with glitters.

And here is Vapid Angels and Demons- a cool thermal polish. The weird holo blob is supposed to be

a cat- it looked better irl, lol.

This one shows the shift. It is a really neat polish!
