Happy Breaking Bad day everyone!! Today is the season premiere of the final episodes of Breaking Bad and I can't wait to see what is in store for Jesse and Walter aka Heisenberg after that absolutely insane cliffhanger of an ending! Rainbow Honey created a special Limited Edition polish just for this very occasion that in no way resembles a certain blue glass substance *cough* Ummmm yeah....no resemblance at all. This polish is absolutely perfect and is definitely up to Mr. White's high standards of quality.
Heisenberg is a beautiful mixture of silver, blue, and holographic glitter in a clear base. Formula wise it was good and was not goopy at all. It was easy to apply and the glitter coverage is great. I believe you could get this opaque on it's own in three coats but I chose to apply two coats over Cult Nails Party Time to help give it an extra blue tint. This glitter isn't a topcoat eater either and was smooth after just one coat of Seche Vite. I did add an extra one just in case because sometimes it takes a while for the topcoat to get eaten.
Heisenberg is the Limited Edition polish of the month over at Rainbow Honey and is available on it's own for $10 a bottle or will come free with a purchase of $50 or more.

NOTD Stamping with Zoya Sunshine
So another obsession I have had lately besides texture polishes is stamping over texture polishes. For this look I started with a base of Zoya Sunshine and decided to go for a romantic scene so I used Sinful Shine Wisp to stamp cherry blossom branches and a cute little couple under a tree onto my nails. The branches and flower are from a Born Pretty Store plate and the accent finger of the tree and little boy and girl kissing is from Winstonia. The pink blossoms of the flower are Zoya Jolene.

Zoya - Sunshine
I have a slight obsession with texture polish but that isn't anything new so when the new fall Zoya pixies were released I kinda had to have them all right that second. The one I knew I had to try first as soon as I ripped open the package? Sunshine! My two favorite colors are sunshine yellow and blue anything for nails so a gorgeous blue Pixie Dust with the name Sunshine? Yeah, that one was made for me! Sunshine definitely didn't disappoint either. It was completely opaque in just two coats and had a quick dry time. Like all pixies it wore like iron and had the same great sparkle you come to expect with pixie dusts.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Butterfly Stroke
Butter-Fly Stroke is a great yellow polish from the Insta-dri line. I found it a few weeks ago at Target on clearance and since I have a yellow addiction I just had to pick it up. Even though Insta-Dri polish formula are usually great coverage in one to two coats this one did take three but still wasn't that bad considering yellows usually suck when it comes to formula. The first two coats were streaky but the third coat fixed it. I topped it off with a layer of Seche Vite. Yellow polishes are one of my favorite colors to wear so I am glad to have found another good one for my collection. I can't wait to try it as a stamping polish either and will make sure to post here the results.

Wet n Wild Pop Art collection swatches
Recently I found the new Wet N Wild Pop Art collection at Walgreens and had to pick up all the colors. Well I picked up everything except the white one because I think I have more than enough white polish for now. As a bonus surprise these were all on sale for $ .69 each! The color names are starting with the thumb and then moving from index to pinky are: Teal Slowly and See, Stand the Test of Lime, The Clock Strikes Orange, Listening to Blue Reed, and What is Ultra Violet?
Formula wise these aren't perfect. Both of the blues were the best with the orange and purple coming in a close second. Those four really aren't that bad once you get the hang of each formula. The dark blue was the best of all with no issues at all. The others were a touch thin or streaky but corrected after a couple of coats. The green however was thin and sheer and had problems with balding. I think this may be the reason the white was in the collection because I think it would work much better with a white base. Overall I really do like these and for the price they are definitely worth it.

NOTD Cult Nails Riot + Mayhem + Pueen = LOVE!!
Today I still have on Cult Nails Riot but I also added their holographic topcoat Mayhem to it. I will post tomorrow what those two look like on their own together but I just had to share this picture right now. I just got my set of Pueen plates in the mail and immediately had to test them out. I stamped using Mash black stamping polish and Pueen plate 24.

Cult Nails Riot
This is Riot from the new Cult Nails collection Road Trip, Anyone? I LOVE this
color!!! This is three coats and then topped with Cult Nails Wicked Fast
topcoat. It would have been two coats but I goofed and smudged a finger
and had to keep them all even. Application was really good. If you apply the coat too thin it goes a little streaky but don't want to overload it either so two nice medium coats are just perfect. This color was also a beast to capture right with my camera but maybe a touch more green in it than it comes across in the picture.
