Constellation Nail Art
Hello readers,
It's spring outside, but I couldn't resist trying out one of the new vampy sample shades I recently bought from Lucky 13 Lacquer. Bright stars were the perfect addition to the inky blue shade.

Different Dimension Topaz 2.0 Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I had a super sparkly polish from Different Dimension Let Them Eat Glitter to share you. Thank god for peel off base coats because though this polish looks amazing, I wouldn't want to tackle removing it the old fashioned way.

Purple And Orange Floral Stamped Nail Art
Hello readers,
Today I have some fun bright stamped nail art to share with you. I finally figured out a nice combo of stamper and technique to get my UberChic plate to cooperate with me. The peach base is Ceramic Glaze Urbane which I topped with a coat of Different Dimension Tinselitis. I used an abstract floral patter from UberChic Beauty plate 4-01 and Hit The Bottle Call The Plumber stamping polish to add the purple design on top. A coat of Gelous smoothed out the glitter and a coat of Girly Bits Glitter Glaze sealed everything up. Photos were taken in daylight spectrum lighting.

Black and Pink Bubble Nail Art
Hello readers,
It's nail art time! I started out with a base of Trust Fund Beauty No Filter, a pale blush creme. Then I used Cheeky jumbo plate B, China Glaze Liquid Leather and Different Dimension Mystery Villain #2 Lady Tremaine to create the black and silver bubble decals for my middle and ring finger. Finally, I stamped my index and pinky fingers with a different circular pattern from the same plate using Color Club What A Drag. A coat of Girly Bits Glitter Glaze sealed everything up.

Different Dimension Mystery Villain #2 Lady Tremaine Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have polish from the Different Dimension Mystery Villain series to share with you. I'm sorry in advance, you can't snag this polish from the shop any more. I got it when the 'mystery retired villain' polishes went on sale. Even grab bag offering from Different Dimension are great. If the name Lady Tremaine doesn't ring a bell, you may know her better as Cinderella's evil stepmother.

Nude And Black Lace Stamping Nail Art
Hello readers,
Today I have some stamped nail art to show you. This lacey looks feels kind of vintage to me and I love it. I started out with a base of Different Dimension Solar Flares and then stamped the lace pattern using China Glaze Liquid Leather and Moyou London's Bridal Collection 07 plate. Finally I sealed everything up with a coat of CND Super Shiney top coat. Here's the finished look in daylight spectrum lighting.

Different Dimension Solar Flares Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have a polish to show you from my last Different Dimension haul. I can never resist a good sale.
Solar Flares features a taupe base packed with pink flecked shimmer. The formula was a little sheer at first but layered up nicely becoming opaque in three coats. Otherwise the formula was very easy to work with. It dried somewhere between shiny and matte so a glossy top coat is recommended if you want shine. Though the pink shimmer does show in the photos below, it is even stronger to the naked eye. Photos show three coats of Solar Flares with one coat of CND Super Shiney top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Different Dimension Stronger Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have an icy blue holo to show you that matches the minus double digit weather outside.
Different Dimension Stronger features a light blue shimmery base with a strong holo and a violet flash. The flash was super difficult to capture and is even more prominent in person. The formula was great and I used three thin coats to reach opacity. Photos show three coats of Stronger with one coat of Nubar Diamond top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
I really like this polish. The violet flash adds a little unique touch to this pretty polish. You can find Different Dimension at:

Summer Of Untrieds Day 8: Glitter With Colored Base - Lucky 13 Lacquer Dragon Rise and Different Dimension Never Grow Up
Hello readers,
Another day means another untried polish, or in the case of today, two! Today's theme was glitter in a colored base so I pulled out two glitter filled polishes I haven't yet tried.
Dragon Rise features an aqua crelly base with a soft shimmer and two sizes of silver hex glitter. The formula was fantastic and went opaque in two coats. Never Grow Up features a white crelly base with white, silver and blue shimmer a glitter in a variety of shapes and sizes. The formula on this one was a little more finicky. I did have to dab some of the glitter to get it spread out properly. I used three coats and it is 90% opaque. Photos show the two polishes with one coat of HK Girl top coat in natural lighting.
I did notice a bit of white pigment settling at the bottom of Dragon Rise but it doesn't seem to have affected the polish application at all so I'm not worried. I'll just sit it upside down in the drawer to help mix it back up.
Happy polishing,
Michelle

Different Dimension Mr. Grumble Swatches & Review
Hello readers! I'll admit it. I'm not usually a fan of thermal polishes. I personally think the ones with very drastic colour changes can look a little bit tacky. However, there are some that catch my eye. Different Dimension's Mr.Grumble is one of them. I love the flecked shimmer and the fact that the colour change stays within the same 'colour family'.
Mr.Grumble is a very shimmery flecked polish. When cold it's a medium blurple and when warm it turns to a pink and gold duochrome. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. The formula was fantastic. No issues with streaks or sheerness. Photos show three coats of Mr. Grumble with one coat of CND Super Shiney top coat in natural lighting.
This is my kind of thermal polish! I think my favorite of the two states is the cold colour (which is good, because thermal polishes lose their ability to change colour over time). You can find Different Dimension at:

Different Dimension Lapis Lazuli Swatches & Review
Hello everyone! I had a super busy long weekend so didn't have time to do many post. Time to make up for that now. Today I have Different Dimension Lapis Lazuli on my nails. This was a polish that I flip flopped about buying. I already have so many blue polishes... do I really need another? The answer is yes. This polish has some amazing micro flakes that I haven't seen anything like before. It was inspired by the stone of the same name. Lapis Lazuli features a cobalt blue jelly base packed with translucent microflakes that have a purple-copper shimmer.
I used three coats of this polish and reached about 90% opacity. Where there are more flakes it ends up more opaque, so you can't see a clear nail line, you can just see that some spots are a little lighter than others. I don't mind this as it lends itself to the look of a stone. If this is something that bugs you then you can just layer Lapis Lazuli over a similar coloured creme polish. Application was very easy but I did find it did take longer than average to dry.
Photos show three coats of Lapis Lazuli with one coat of CND Super Shiney top coat in natural sunlight. This polish is very unique. I hope the photos give you an idea of how cool the microflakes are. If you'd like a bottle of your very own check out the Different Dimension Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/DIFFERENTdimension. I think this would also look amazing layered over a very dark navy or black polish. Yet another thing to go on my polish 'to try' list.
