Pretty Jelly 3 Year Anniversary Shades

*I received the following products in exchange for my honest review. 

I have more Pretty Jelly goodies to share with you on this Friday. This collection consists of three colors to celebrate Pretty Jelly's third anniversary. One of the best new trends in indie polish that I'm head over heels about this year are multi-chrome flakies, rainbow flakies, and metallic flakies. I'm a blingy girl, and these flakies take bling to the extreme. These three anniversary shades all have rainbow flakies in them and are blingtastic to the max!

Transcendent Triennium

Transcendent Triennium is an opaque gold holo glitter and rainbow flakies with an emphasis on the
pink/purple. Note: My camera really picks up on the pinky/purple flash on this, but in real life this does have an overall golden look to it as you can see on the sides of my nails.

Celestial

Celestial is an opaque silver holo glitter with rainbow flakies.

Amore

Amore is an opaque pink bronze glitter with pink, red, gold, and blue flakies

Collection: Pretty Jelly 3 Year Anniversary Shades 2015

Colors: These are all three absolute stunners. I love all the shades and they all offer something different. Celestial is cool toned, Amore is warm toned, and Transcendent Triennium kind of falls in between. You're getting different tones in all of these and the color shifts and flashes from these flakies are incredible!

Formula: Excellent opaque glitter formulas. I used 3 coats on all three and got full opacity. I think some of you could get away with 2. These glitters cover the nail easily and evenly.

Price: This is going to be releases as a set on on Monday 10/26. You can buy the set for $32.40 (10% off) between 10/26-11/2. These will be available for individual purchase on Pretty Jelly's anniversary 11/10 for $12 each. You can purchase these from Pretty Jelly's etsy site.

Overall: These are incredible glitter/flakie combination colors. I love the depth and complexity each of these shades have. Again, another thoughtful collection from Pretty Jelly. If you love glitter and flakies you will not be disappointed by these shades. They're a must have in my book!

My Rating: 5 out of 5 *Golden* Paint Splatters

Happy Friday!

Indie InLinkz: Halloween Mani

It's time for another Indie InLinkz post. Indie InLinkz is a group of bloggers who do an indie-themed mani every month. This month's prompt was Halloween. I realized how few Halloween polishes I have especially in indie. I love Halloween, but for some reason I have very few Halloween nail polishes. I think it's because I don't really wear orange nail polish a lot, except Halloween. I tend to weed those out when I do my yearly nail polish purge, because I really only wear them once a year. 

I did manage to find some other Halloween polishes or well, made some polishes work for Halloween to do my mani. 

Polishes Used: Pretty Jelly I See Dead People, KBShimmer The Grape Beyond, and Sindie Pop! Jinkies! 

I like it. I'm not sure any of it really goes together, but Halloween isn't really a sophisticated and done up holiday. It can be mix matched and silly!

Check out my other Indie Inlinkz friends Halloween manis below!

Pretty Jelly Halloween Glitters

*I received the following products in exchange for my honest review. 

I have the second part of Pretty Jelly's Halloween collection to share with you today. These are 2 Halloween themed glitters that are right up my alley. I can never pass up a glitter! Both of these glitters are a unique twist to typical Halloween colors.

Pumpkin Carousel

 Pumpkin Carousel is black jelly base with orange, green, purple, and teal holographic glitters. Also
contains shimmer like gold glitters that shift green.

Werewolf Tricks

Werewolf Tricks is a vampy red-orange flakes in a black jelly base filled with bronze and gold
holographic glitters.

Collection: Pretty Jelly Halloween Glitters 2015

Color: These are great Halloween glitters. They're really fun takes on traditional Halloween colors. Pumpkin Carousel has the orange glitter and the black base, but it's filled with green, purple, and holo graphic glitters. Werewolf Tricks is an amazing color shifting glitter. This is packed with amazing glitters that look more pink-purple or gold-amber dependent on lighting and angle.

Formula: The formulas on both of these was good. I only needed 2 coats for each swatch. Pumpkin Carousel you may need some extra care getting those orange glitters out. They tend to want to stick to the sides, so let your bottle sit upside down for a bit will help. It also dries to a bumpy finish, so 2 coats of top coat would be idea. Werewolf Tricks was an easy breezy 2 coater that applied beautifully.

Price: These are $10 each on the Pretty Jelly etsy site.

Overall: I love these glitters. I love creative and thoughtfully made nail polishes and these both are exactly that. I love when makers create colors I couldn't imagine or think up myself. These are both fun and festive colors of Halloween and the fall season itself!

Pretty Jelly Halloween Holos

* I received the following products in exchange for my honest review. 

I have some Halloween inspired polishes to share with you today by Pretty Jelly. Pretty Jelly is an indie brand created by Liz. I reviewed some of her first polishes a few years ago. This collection is inspired by some famous horror movie taglines. I have to be honest. I like Halloween, but I like cutesy fun Halloween. Scary Halloween isn't my thing. I'm a big chicken. The "Don't Blink" episode of Doctor Who had me up 2 nights in row without sleep with all the lights on. I'm too easily scared!

On to the scary themed polishes!

I See Dead People

 I See Dead People a strong black linear holo with strong red shimmer inspired by the Sixth Sense movie poster.

Here's Johnny!

Here's Johnny! is a blood red linear holo inspired by the color of Johnny's red jacket from The Shining.

They're Here

They're Here is a pale blue linear holo with blue shimmer inspired by the pallid glow of the TV screen in The Poltergeist.

Collection: Pretty Jelly Halloween Holos 2015

Collection: This is a great collection of colors! They all have a strong holo effect, and I like that they're not traditional Halloween colors. I love the added red shimmer in I See Dead People it really elevates just your standard black holo. Here's Johnny is a great blood red. They're Here is a beautiful icy blue holo that I am in absolutely in love with. I am going to be wearing this color a lot this winter.

Formula: All of the formulas in this collection are excellent. They're opaque holos that I only needed 2 coats for each swatch.

Price: These are $12 individually or $36 for the set. You can purchase them on Pretty Jelly's etsy site.

Overall: Beautiful holo collection. The inspiration of these polish is scary, but they polishes are not scary. I love that these are not traditional Halloween colors. I can see myself wearing these colors during different times of the year. The holo effect in these is great and the formulas are on point.

Pretty Jelly Polishes: Swatches & Review

Pretty Jelly is new indie polish brand on the block brought to you by Liz behind the blog Liquid Jelly. Liz asked me if I would be willing to review some of brand new polishes for my blog, and I gladly agreed. These first 2 polishes are currently available now in her Etsy shop. These polishes are part of her Holiday 2012 collection, and are $9.00 each.

Confetti Countdown over Cult Nails Nevermore

Confetti Coundown is a mixture of a micro holo silver glitter, medium blue hexes, medium gold squares, medium silver holo squares, and larger silver holo star glitters in a clear base.

This is a playful and fun glitter. It is clearly perfect for New Years or another holiday celebration. It really is like confetti on the nails! The formula on this was easy to work with and applied evenly. I used 2 coats of it here.

Sugar Cookie over Milani White on the Spot

 Sugar Cookie is a mixture of small white, red, and green matte glitters in a clear base.

This is a perfect name for this polish. It looks exactly like the sprinkles on Christmas cookies. I love it! This polish like Confetti Countdown was easy to use and applied well. I used 3 coats here.

----------------

The next polish I'm going to show you has not been released yet, but Liz wanted me to test it out. Liz is working on a releasing line of holos for her shop. She says these holos will have a scattered-linear hybrid finish. She plans on a selling the minis (6ml) for $8, and the full size (15ml) for $16. The holo I have to show you today is a test version of a teal holo.

Diamond S-teal-er

 Diamond S-teal-er is a soft teal holo.

This is a super sparkly and bright holo polish! I love the color, and it applied nicely. I used 2 coats.

I'm all around pleased with Pretty Jelly polishes. The holiday glitters were well made, easy to apply, and fun polishes. I'm looking forward to the release holos because there can never be enough holos out there!

Confetti Countdown, Sugar Cookie, and 3 other holiday polishes not seen here (Berry X-Mas, Secret Santa Affair, and Skate Date) are available for purchase now on Pretty Jelly's etsy shop for $9.00 each. The holos will be released in the near future. The minis will be $8 each and the full size will be $16 each.
