Hey! I hope everyone’s holiday shopping has gotten off to a good start! I also hope you left room in your budget to treat yourself. I have 3 multi-chrome, magnetic, flakie polishes to share with you that I am pretty sure you are going to need. Shall we?
Gemini “is a black jelly polish with green-gold-red shifting magnetic flakies.” The base for these polishes are sheer but they all build up nicely. The formula is smooth and applies wonderfully. Pam shared a blog post with me that helped me immensely with these magnetics. I will link it at the bottom. I followed it to a T, so if you have any questions please check that out! I used 2 thin coats with a 3rd thicker coat and glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. Gemini will be $13 USD.
Perseus “is a black jelly with gold-red-violet shifting magnetic flakies.” This one turned out to be an unexpected favorite. For me, this one had the most shifty-ness. The flakies seem a little bigger in this polish so maybe that’s why. Either way it is fabulous. Again, the formula is flawless. I am REALLY starting to be spoiled by all these amazing polishes lately ❤ I used 2 thin coats with a 3rd thicker coat and glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. Perseus will be $13 USD.
Orion “is a black jelly polish with violet-blue-green shifting magnetic flakies.” This was the one I thought would be my favorite. I still love it, don’t get me wrong, Perseus just stood out to me ❤ This is the exact multi-chrome I always go for. The purply-blue-green one 🙂 Now I have the option to magnetize it and I am super happy about that! Super smooth look once its dried down. Formula is spot on. 2 thin coats with a 3rd thicker coat and glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. Orion will also be $13 USD.
You can get these polishes singly at the prices listed above or you can purchase them as a set for $36 USD. There will also be a variety of magnets to purchase as well starting at $3 USD! “A portion of proceeds for the last quarter of 2018 will be donated to GirlStart, a non-profit based in Austin, Texas that has after school and day-long camps to help young girls develop a love for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Black Friday and Holiday deals… We will lower our free domestic shipping threshold from $50 to $25 Black Friday – Cyber Monday. No code required. We will also offer a free upgrade to domestic priority shipping December 14th-19th. December 19th is the last day to order with arrival by Christmas.” Overall, I am extremely happy with these. I wasn’t into the magnetic thing until I had them on. It really is a 3-D look that is mesmerizing. Don’t miss out! Links below 🙂

I missed Black Friday 😦 I have been sick for a few days now. I really thought I could push through it to get things done in a timely manner. I usually don’t get sick so my time management was terrible and I apologize. Without wasting anymore time, let’s check out Pam’s LE Holiday Duo!
Rosé Til Champagne “is a luxe rose gold metallic foil polish with shining silver flakes.” Luxe is right! This polish feels so high class on the nails. So flashy and eye-catching. It lays flat on the nail and dries smooth. It is pretty opaque without being thick or clumpy. The silver flakes are the absolute perfect touch to this polish. I used 2 coats plus glossy and matte top coats. Rosé Til Champagne will be $13 USD.
Merlot Ho Ho! “is a rich burgundy red with a unique holographic shimmer.” This color is the definition of black cherry. Like a perfect exact color match ❤ I love this so very much. Formula is impeccable and it pretty much polishes itself. 2 perfect coats with glossy and matte top coats. Merlot Ho Ho! will be $13 USD.
The LE Holiday Duo is available now through the end of 2018. You can get them singly at the prices listed above or you can get the set for $24 USD. “A portion of proceeds for the last quarter of 2018 will be donated to GirlStart, a non-profit based in Austin, Texas that has after school and day-long camps to help young girls develop a love for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

Hi polish lovers 🙂 Do you see these? FLAKIES! Each polish here has a different type of flakes and Pam knocked them out of the park ❤ This is The Nutcracker Trio. Sit back and enjoy some flakie goodness.
Sugarplum Fairy “is a delicate, pale lavender crelly with red-green-purple iridescent flakies and green-yellow shimmer.” This one is super delicate and feminine. The flakies give a soft glow from within. They are like little flecks of pastel colored glass. Just breathtaking. It is a little sheer but has a great formula. 3 thin coats plus glossy and matte top coats for my swatch. Sugarplum Fairy will be $12 USD.
Mother Ginger “is a bright blue jelly polish with red-orange-blue iridescent flakies and green-yellow shimmer.” Holy mother of everything ❤ Do you see the flakies in the bottle?!?! I couldn’t stop moving my fingers while swatching. The shift is just intense! The squishy factor is off the charts ❤ For a jelly, the formula is phenomenal! I used 3 thin coats plus glossy and matte top coat for my swatches. Mother Ginger will be $12 USD.
Herr Drosselmeier “is a pale grey crelly packed with red-orange-yellow iridescent flakies and red-gold shimmer.” Yup, this one is my favorite. It’s just simply stunning. It’s shifty, flakie, and has a base color that goes with everything ❤ I don’t really have words for this one. I just love it!! 3 thin coats with glossy and matte top coats for my swatch. Herr Drosselmeier will be $12 USD.
Can you tell that the last nail art is a nutcracker? As I have said before, I am definitely not a good artist lol. Ugh, I just looked again and wow… I suck 😦 The Nutcracker Trio will be available on Black Friday (November 23rd) at Noon EST. You will be able to buy these as a set only through December 7th for $33 USD. “A portion of proceeds for the last quarter of 2018 will be donated to GirlStart, a non-profit based in Austin, Texas that has after school and day-long camps to help young girls develop a love for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

Finally! Fall is on it’s way ❤ I am so stoked. Fall and winter are my favorites so I am so ready for the next 6 months! We also are starting to see the new fall polishes coming out. Pam from Stella Chroma chose to take the matte route and it was an amazing way to go! I’m sure you will agree so let’s have a look.
Pumpkin Everything: “What fall collection would be complete without a perfect pumpkin orange? This is a matte medium orange with a strong green shimmer as a nod to gorgeous pumpkin vines.” LOVE this polish. I noticed that if you hold your nails at an angle, the shimmer will turn purple. Only at extreme angles but still you should buy it and check it out. This polish formula was super nice to work with. I used 3 thin coats plus glossy top coat for my swatches.
You Blockhead: “This shimmery yellow matte was named by Mr. STELLA CHROMA himself. He looked at it and said, “That’s the yellow of Charlie Brown’s shirt. It should be called You Blockhead!” He’s totally right, isn’t he?” Yes he is! I am always a little nervous with a yellow polish. Yellow has a horrible record for a bad formula. FEAR NOT! This is a smooth easy yellow 🙂 I used 3 thin, very smooth coats plus a glossy top coat.
Gala: “Apple picking is a traditional fall activity, and this matte red stunner is bright like the skin of the sweet Gala apple!” Apple picking is a tradition in my family ❤ Then we all go back to my dads and make a few apple pies and some apple crisp! Ugh, I’m hungry lol! The best part about this polish is definitely the shimmer. It’s also more opaque than I was expecting. I used 2 fabulous coats with a glossy top coat for my swatches.
Flannel & Boots: “Our favorite flannel shirt is this gorgeous shade of teal. What says fall like flannel shirts, leggings, and boots? This lovely matte polish is highlighted with white and blue flakies.” I love love love this color. This one is a little more crelly like in formula. Super easy to use! I used 3 thin coats plus a glossy top coat.
Perseids: ” The Perseids meteor shower occurs every fall, peaking in August. This matte navy harkens to the night sky and the holo flakies sparkle like stars on your nails.” MY FAVORITE!! It really is the night sky on your nails. It’s a jelly base so its squishy and has layered flakie depth. Just breathtaking!! I used 3 thin coats plus glossy top coat for my pics.
Cinnamon & Spice: “Warm brown tones are complimented by copious amounts of pink shimmer in this matte beauty that reminds us of all of the delicious cinnamon treats that pop up in the fall! Apple dumpling, anyone?” Did I mention that I’m hungry?? This color is like putting on a sweater. It just makes you feel warm and cozy ❤ The pink shimmer is such a compliment to the base color. This could be a 1 coater if you polish on the thicker side. Great formula that is totally opaque in 2 coats. I used 2 coats plus glossy top coat. Extra macros to show the shimmer shift!
Now for the info; “The collection will release Saturday, Sept 22nd at noon EST. They will be $12 per 15 mL bottle. For the first two weeks after release (until Oct 5th), the full set of 6 will be available for $64.
“A portion of sales from Sept-Dec will go to Girls Who Code. January will be GirlStart.” I love the word donate. I always love to help when I can. I am sure you feel the same so buying these will help you support a cause ❤
*Note: Matte top coat was not used at all in any of my pictures. The matte finishes are all natural to the polish.
