I bought another Glisten & Glow today because it's a beautiful purple holographic - my favorite. This is Wench's Wardrobe, a blackened purple navy holographic that has a tiny bit of green shimmer from the 2016 Pirate's Booth collection.

Today I have a one-of-a-kind polish from Glisten & Glow called A Daughter's Love. This was part of a three-part collection made for me from Jill at Glisten & Glow and Melissa at The Daily Nail after my father died. This is a glitter bomb of pink, purple, and blue glitters in a clear base.

Glisten & Glow Bing Bong Bing Bong

Nothing To Disclose

Today, I have a Glisten & Glow polish from PPU for February 2023. This is Bing Bong Bing Bong, a reference to the Disney movie Inside Out. This is definitely a kitchen sink polish to me with a grape jelly base, iridescent color shifting flakes, holo flakes, and then purple and pink glitter in different sizes. Whew.

Glisten & Glow Kim

Nothing To Disclose
A little change of pace today with the follow up from Glisten & Glow Larry, which was the polish made by Jill in honor of my Dad. Today I have Kim, which was originally a lilac holographic polish but today I realized it's faded to a light denim blue holographic. I actually love this faded look.

Glisten & Glow Spirit of Chicago

Nothing To Disclose

I have another purple holographic for you! This is Glisten & Glow Spirit of Chicago, which was from the "Road to PolishCon Fall 2017" series. It's hard to believe that this was 7 years ago already - I feel like a lifetime has happened since then!

Glisten & Glow Larry

Nothing To Disclose

Today's polish is one that is really special to me. I lost my Mom unexpectedly in 2013 and my Dad in 2016. After losing my Dad, I got a package in the mail from Glisten & Glow that had three polishes custom-made for me by Jill of Glisten & Glow and Melissa of The Daily Nail. Today I'm sharing Larry, named after my Dad, and it's a deep purple holographic polish.

Glisten & Glow Lavender Liqueur

Nothing To Disclose
I am definitely a fan of all things purple. I have a purple Keurig. I have a purple star tattoo. I have way more purple polish than I probably should. Today I have Glisten & Glow Lavender Liqueur. This was a limited edition polish that I picked up at PolishCon Chicago 2016 and it's been hiding in a box. As part of my purge, I decided to try it on. This is a light lavender holographic with some silver holo microglitter. I also just had a huge chop so check out the nubbins below!

Glisten & Glow Doo-Wop & Drive-Ins

Rabbit rabbit - Happy June! I cannot believe we're nearly on the back end of 2018 but here we are! I've been watching lots of Hoarders on TV and it's been motivating me to get my polish moving again. I was doing so good at the end of May and then realized I have to keep it going! Today I pulled out a Glisten & Glow polish called Doo-Wop & Drive-Ins.

As I slowly clean out the rest of my polishes, I'm finding gems in my own collection that I've forgotten about. Today's polish was in a box on my desk and I thought today was a good day to bust it out.

Glisten & Glow Shimmer Me Timbers

Press Sample
One of the more interesting things when cleaning out my nail polish is realizing 1: how many indies I have acquired in the past several years and 2: how many polishes I have that are AMAZING. Tonight I was cleaning out a box that's been sitting by my desk for over a year (sad, I know) when I realized I had this great Glisten & Glow beauty sitting here.

Glisten & Glow Rock n' Roll & Route 66

Press Sample
Today from the 1950s Collection by Glisten & Glow, I have Rock n Roll & Route 66 which is a great robin egg blue with teeny green shimmer. This polish also is great for water marbling and stamping and self levels on the second coat. If you watched my Nail It Instagram Live "Indie Spotlight", you saw that my first coat had a bit of pulling and I think it's from the shimmer in my first coat but it was perfect in two.

Glisten & Glow Hand Jive & Hula Hoops

Press Sample
Glisten & Glow just celebrated being in business for 7.5 years and to celebrate, she went through a little refreshed and simplified packaging! Also launched that day was the 1950s Nostalgia collection which included this beauty, Hand Jive & Hula Hoops. This is a mauve leaning purple creme that not only applies well and self-levels but also is great for watermarbling and stamping!

The Polish Convention NYC Spring 2017

Nothing To Disclose
Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so quiet on my end. I had been focusing more of my attention to social media, especially Instagram because last month, I went to NYC for PolishCon! While there, I got to watch over 34 brands do their hustle to sell beautiful multichrome, holo, creme, and glittery polishes to over 650 people who walked through the doors of the Grand Prospect Hall.

Glisten & Glow Parasail in Puerto Rico

Press Sample
I tried with my acrylics, y'all, but I just couldn't keep it up. I took off my left hand after Christmas and the right hand a week later. It was an ordeal that left me with some sore hands (mostly my fault) and the need for some TLC. I've been wearing Duri Rejuvacote for now but I wanted to add a punch of color for fun.

Glisten & Glow Snorkel in St. Thomas

Press Sample
It's been 83 days since we were hit by a tornado and I'm finally getting my a/c fixed in the main part of my house today. It's been a very frustrating experience. Since I am required to be home for the install, I'm going through my box of items I received at the Cocktails and Colors party in Las Vegas last month. One that immediately caught my eye was Glisten & Glow Snorkel in St. Thomas - a vibrant cyan creme. I used this as a base for some nail art last week but I wanted to wear it entirely on its own as well.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished it with Love Angeline Topped With Love top coat. The first coat was a little thin looking but the second coat self-leveled to a beautiful opaque creme.

Look how beautiful this is! While blue isn't normally a color I reach for, this one is such a happy creme. I really miss cremes sometimes - it's easy to wear, it's easy to come off, you can dress it up with glitter or stamping. It's great. This is one in the 4 part collection called Experience the Islands and is currently listed for $7.50.
