Indie Feature: Dollish Polish

Dollish Polish The Hero of Time

The Hero of Time is a polish created by Dolly in a Zelda Duo consisting of this one, The Hero of Time, and Hylian Princess.

  

The Hero of Time is a representation of Link, a hero in the game The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time.

The colors in this polish represent Link perfectly! Here is Link:

Now I'll show you the polish and let you decide if it's a great representation or not!

What do you think?

Now onto my swatch!

I decided to layer this polish over Icing Shimmer which is a gorgeous nude gold with gold shimmer. I thought it would compliment the gold/yellow glitter in the polish.

As you can see, the glitter consists of multiple shades of green glitter, brown, and yellow/gold.

Dollish Polish can be purchased through multiple online stores as well as through the Dollish Polish store. You can follow Dolly on Facebook as well to get shop updates!

I happened to purchase this polish through Overall Beauty's pre-sale a few weeks back. Overall Beauty shipped these super fast and they were packaged so well!! I will definitely be shopping from there again!

Liquid Euphoria: Euphoric

I recently stumbled across a very old polish.

Liquid Euphoria Euphoric!!!

Liquid Euphoria's are known for their wonderful color shifting pigments! This one in particular was a deep jelly purple with green to teal color shifting. It is awesome!!!

This was such a stunning polish to have on my fingers and it is purely magical!!

Jade Holográfico Gradient

The other day I posted about Jade Hypnose, a gorgeous teal-blue holographic nail polish. 


Today, I have a gradient using Jade Hypnose
Jade Fascino Violeta

Fascino Violeta is a beautiful deep purple holographic color!

Holographic gradients are super easy to do and a great way to spruce up your current mani!! I love how easily the blue and purple blend together creating the perfect marriage in gradient world!

Jade Hypnose

Jade Hypnose is a gorgeous bright teal blue holographic nail polish. These Jade polishes are becoming my favorite!! They are super opaque and so easy to work with!

How gorgeous is that?! I could wear this color every sunny day of the year!

Jade Holo Gradient

I recently did a beautiful Butterfly mani. Underneath the gorgeous butterflies was a beautiful holo gradient.

The colors I used were

Jade Delirio Rosa *base*

Jade Fascinio Violeta

How gorgeous is that?! I couldn't stop staring!

Dollish Polish Random Dancing is a wonderful and fun multicolored glitter polish in a clear base. I layered mine over a white base.

I then chose to matte it with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

Essie Gradient

I have seen quite a few gradients done lately, so I decided to give it a shot and do a full mani out of it.

I used Essie Turqouise & Caicos and Essie Play Date for the two colors.

Happy 4th of July!!
