Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to be back into the swing of things! I've had exams all week, so I've been pretty swamped. Today I have three different Makeup by One Direction kits: the Rock Me Nail Kit, the Liquilights Glow Gloss Trio, and the Electro Glam Mascara Trio!

All of the products below can be found at Macy's, Dillards, Boscov's, Stage Stores, Beauty Brands, and Lord & Taylor. Each set retails for $16.50USD.

Rock Me Nail Kit

This kit came with three polishes and three matching loose glitters. The polishes are UV reactive, but I do not have a UV light to test the reactivity. As you can see in the photos below, Happily and Moments have a jelly finish. Diana, my favorite of the three, is a gorgeous silver glitter.

Happily- Two coats.

Moments- Two coats.

Diana- Two coats. 

The kit also came with three loose glitters, which are also UV reactive. I really like the idea of loose glitter, but I always get it everywhere!

Kicks layered over Happily, Star layered over Moments, and Not Afraid layered over Diana.

Liqiuilights Glow Gloss Trio

This trio, like the nail polishes and loose glitter, is UV reactive. I found that these glosses were a bit gritty, as they have glitter specs in them. 

Electro Glam Mascara Trio

These mascaras can be used on your eyelashes or in your hair! I've swatched them on my arm below, so you could get a feel for the colors.

This is the second time I've been sent Makeup by One Direction products to review and I still feel the same way about them. I feel like you are paying more for a name than a product. The products are decent, but I'm not sure if they are something I would pull out of my collection to wear on a daily basis.

GeeWhiz Review: Tidepool & Angels Wear Green

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Happy day before Halloween! Check back tomorrow for my Halloween post! :)

Today I have 2 items to review; a lovely glitter polish, Tidepool, and a loose glitter, Angels Wear Green!

Let's start off with the polish! 

As stated by Jessi, Tidepool is a glitter polish that has "fine halo turquoise with some dark purple, larger matte yellow and pink hexes,and large holo lavender hexes".

 Here I used 1 coat of Tidepool over Zoya Sailor and Essie Big Spender.

Tidepool had a great dry time. I didn't have to fish for any glitters; they came right out. It is also a good coverage glitter for 1 coat. I was very impressed!


Now for the glitter, Angels Wear Green!

Angels Wear Green is a loose glitter with emerald micro glitters along with multi-shaped silver glitters. This is a solvent resistent glitter, so if I wanted to I could have just put it into polish base, but instead I chose to use it to create a mani!

I dabbed the glitter over wet black polish. Here I used Sinful Colors Black on Black.

Here is Angels Wear Green in all of it's sparkling glory!

For never using a loose glitter before I was surprised how easy it was to create a mani!
