Bliss Polish Velvet Rope

Hey all! Yay for Monday! Not so much, right? Monday's are pretty boring for me, luckily. But nothing cures a boring day like a gorgeous polish!

Today, I have a polish from one of my fav Indie's - Bliss Polish. Since working with Yvette almost from the beginning, I have been able to watch the brand develop into something really amazing. With each new collection, I am instantly impressed. And after seeing today's beauty, you will be too!

Bliss Polish Velvet Rope

Velvet Rope is a blurple (blue/purple) jelly with red shimmer and micro flakies. It is in the same family as Takko Lacquer Kiss The Sky, and Cult Nails Flushed. The big difference is that Velvet Rope has the micro flakies! I think that makes it so much more interesting! Since it is a jelly base, it is one the sheer side. I needed 3 coats for full opacity, which is pretty standard for most jellies. The VNL you see in my pics is not so visible in person. Blame it on a 24 mega pixel camera! Formula was on the thicker side, but not problematic. Again, because it is a jelly, a slower application is needed. But oh so worth it.

Excuse me while I swoon over the flakies! Seriously, this polish is just too beautiful for words. Yvette has created a total stunner with Velvet Rope! The full size bottles are currently sold out at the moment, but minis are still available. Be sure to follow Bliss Polish on Facebook and Instagram from restocks and new collection info!

Bliss Polish Valentine's Day Collection

Hey guys and gals! So Valentine's Day is a little less than a month away! While I'm not one to go crazy over the holiday, I don't mind it so much. I don't need a special day to show my husband that I love and appreciate him, but I have no problem with spending a day focused on love and kindness rather than something negative!

Today I have the Valentine's Day themed collection from the fabulous Bliss Polish. I really think this is the best collection Yvette has created and I am thrilled to share it with you guys! Also, I want to apologize to your wallets before hand. Because they are gonna cry after you see these swatches!

Bliss Polish - Mint 2 Be

Mint 2 Be is a soft mint green with a linear holo effect. As soon as I unpacked all the polishes, I immediately swatches Mint 2 Be. It is frickin gorgeous, the color is perfection and the holo effect is amazing. Formula was a bit on the thicker side, but not problematic. If you don't prefer thicker polishes, a couple of drops of thinner is all you need to make this beauty work. This is 2 coats (I didn't add thinner to mine) of minty holo goodness. Dry time was a little longer than average due to the thicker base, but if you wait in between coats, you shouldn't have any issues.

Bliss Polish - Wine And Dine

Wine And Dine is a cranberry red with a linear holo effect. No body makes a red quite like Yvette! You guys know how I feel about reds, and I seriously love every single red shade I have swatched for Bliss Polish. Wine And Dine is no less beautiful! The holo is not as strong as Mint 2 Be, but it is still very pretty and gives such a nice depth to the polish. This is 2 coats, and the formula was a perfect consistency.

Bliss Polish - Kismet

Kismet is a squishy bright lavender with a gorgeous blue iridescent shimmer. It leans a touch more red than my photos, my camera likes to turn purples very blue. I love this one so much! It is bright and fun and super cute! The jelly base has the perfect amount of squish and the shimmer is amazing! Formula was awesome. 2 coats for full coverage and no issues at all with cuticle drag or streaks. LOVE!

Bliss Polish - Destiny (Matte)

Destiny is a bubble gum pink with silver micro flakies and dries to a soft satin finish. It is soft and delicate and at the same time bright and bubbly. If you are a pink lover, this shade will knock your socks off! I still can't decide if I like it better matte or glossy. I think both ways are super pretty, and you can see different sides of the polish each way. Again, this is 2 coats with a good formula.

(Top Coat)

Bliss Polish - Smooch

Smooch is a raspberry jelly filled with pink, brown and gold hex glitters in various sizes. Holy crap this is an awesome polish! As with Kismet, Smooch has an amazing squishy jelly base and the glitter mix goes along perfectly with it! I love the unexpected brown bits, they add a really interesting dimension to the polish. @ coats, great formula, awesome.

Bliss Polish - XO

XO is the teal counterpart to Smooch. It has the same glitter mix, swapping out pink glitter for blue. And I love this one just as much! The teal base color is frickin gorgeous! I did have a problem with the glitters sinking with this one, and ended up doing 3 coats to get enough glitter to my liking. Other than that, it was a great polish.

I honestly cannot pick a favorite, or recommend one over another. The entire collection is great and there is something for everyone! Like I said, Yvette has really outdone herself and I am so impressed by every single polish in the set! So break out your wallets, kids, and have fun picking out some gorgeous colors!

Bliss Polish SOA Collection

Hey y'all! Hope you are ready for a new collection from Bliss Polish! If you can believe it, Yvette has created another batch of beauties and this time, they are all inspired by Sons Of Anarchy. The collection has a little bit of everything going on; mattes, glitters, holos, and even a thermal and a duo chrome. I have four out of the seven colors from the set.

 

Please Note: Products shown were sent to me by the company/creator for review purposes.

 

 

Bliss Polish - Gemma (thermal, cold state)

 

Gemma is an oxblood thermal with gold shimmer and scattered holo micro glitter. In it's warm state, shown below, it transitions to a bright cherry red. I love thermals, even though this is only my second one. The transition is great and really noticeable. The formula is a little on the thicker side, but not problematic. 2 coats for full opacity.

Bliss Polish - Tara

 

Tara is a fuchsia pink duo chrome that flashes to a warm orangey pink with a bright purple shimmer and tiny iridescent flakies. The color shift is really nice, and I was really surprised how much I liked this one! A tiny bit brush stroke, but no other issues. Almost a one coater, but I added a second to give the shimmer a nice boost.

 

 

 

Bliss Polish - Jax (matte)

 

Jax is a gunmetal silver that dries to a matte finish. It has the tiniest holo shimmer, but completely gets swallowed by the pigment. Even with a glossy top coat, it was very hard to capture any of the holo goodness. Kind of a let down. The formula was less than stellar as well. First coat was very patchy, a thick second coat did smooth everything out.

Bliss Polish - Mayem

 

Mayhem is a black crelly (cream/jelly hybrid) with scattered holo glitter. I was unable to get any decent picks of this out in the sun due to some (wonderful!) rainy weather. The holo is very subtle indoors, otherwise. Formula was similar to Jax, patchy and streaky on the first coat, with second to smooth it all out.

 

I'm not a fan of Son's Of Anarchy, so I can't comment on the interpretations, but I do love Gemma and Tara - the polishes. Funny since red and pink polishes are not at all thing I usually like. These four, along with the rest are in stock and ready for you to snag!

Bliss Polish Behind Closed Doors

Hello lovely readers! One of these days, I will get back to a regular blogging schedule. I am not liking this business of posting once a week. Today, I have more swatches from Bliss Polish for you guys! The newest collection - Behind Closed Doors - features five (plus a bonus grey shade if you buy the full set) dark, vampy shades with a suede finish. As the collection name hints at, these beauties have a bit of a naughty side!

 

Please Note: Products shown were sent to me by the company/creator for review purposes.

 

All of the polishes have the same formula and application, so I will go over that before hand. Like I previously mentioned, these are a suede finish, which means they dry matte. They all contain holo micro glitter as well. With the matte finish, the glitter does create a textured look. Each polish applies super smooth and needs two coats for full opacity.

 



 

 

 Bliss Polish - Bite

 

Bite is a deep cranberry red. If you know my blog, you know that I am no red lover. This, however is gorgeous. It is deep and sexy and so not what I typically wear, but I am in love! Definitely my favorite from the set.

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

 

Bliss Polish - Spank

 

Spank is a creamy nude. It has a golden shimmer that really stands out with a top coat added. Also a favorite of mine!

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

Bliss Polish - Lick

 

Lick is a rich sapphire blue. If you are a blue lover, this is one you need in your stash. It is really beautiful!

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

Bliss Polish - Tease

 

Tease is a dark forest green. Again, another gorgeous color! This is the only one out of the batch that has no shimmer. It is also a bit darker in person.

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

Bliss Polish - Please

 

 

Please is a deep eggplant purple. Another fav and such a stunning color!

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

 

Bliss Polish - Cuffed (Bonus Shade)

 

Cuffed is a light grey polish, and is a free bonus when you purchase the entire Behind Closed Doors set. As with Bite, I am really loving this polish. It is so soft and delicate.

 

 

Matte

 

Top Coat (Glossy Glam)

 

The whole collection is fantastic and perfect for fall! I prefer them with a top coat, as opposed to the suede finish, because the holo and shimmer stand out so much more with a good shiny top coat. My picks are Bite, Spank and Please. But I think they are all worth getting, especially since you get Cuffed when you do!

Bliss Polish Breaking Bad Collection

Hello lovelies! Happy Monday, and Happy Labor Day to my American pals! Since my husband works today, we spent yesterday with my mother-in-law and her partner, swimming, relaxing, drinking a few beers and nomming on tacos (Portobello for me). Pretty much the best way to spend a weekend/holiday, IMO.

Today, I have a collection from a brand new Indie polish to share, consisting of three milky glitters and two creams with holo shimmer! Even better, it is inspired by the most awesome Breaking Bad.

Please Note: Products shown were provided to me by the company for review purposes.

 

Bliss Polish - Crystal Blue Persuasion

 

Crystal Blue Persuasion is a baby blue crelly (cream/jelly hybrid) with metallic blue and silver holo hex glitter and holo micro glitter shimmer. It's so pretty, I love this blue! It looks so squishy, and the glitter looks like it's floating. Perfect jelly sandwich! Nice thick formula, and 2 coats for full opacity, which is awesome for a lighter shade crelly. Application was a breeze, no need for fishing for the glitter. Topped with Glossy Glam to finish.

 

 

 

Bliss Polish - Chemistry

 

Chemistry is a grassy green with a holo micro shimmer. Best green ever! Definitely an easy favorite. The shimmer adds an extra bonus, little twinkling rainbows in different lighting. Super smooth formula and application, 2 coats, no issues.

 

Bliss Polish - Jesse Pinkman

 

Jesse Pinkman is a soft pink crelly with metallic pink and silver holo hex glitters and micro holo shimmer. So gorgeous and delicate. The shimmer really stands out in this color, I love it! Formula was the same consistency, but a tad bit more sheer, needing 3 coats. The glitter was a little harder to get, but that actually worked out to be the best, since I needed the extra coat.

 

 

Bliss Polish - Cooking

 

Cooking is a sunflower yellow with a micro holo shimmer. I love yellow, and this one does not disappoint! No streaking at all! So hard to find a yellow that doesn't take a million coats to cover. This was 2 easy coats, wonderfully smooth.

 

 

Bliss Polish - Mr. White over O.P.I. - MBSW

 

Mr. White is a white crelly with grey, white and silver holo hex glitters and micro holo shimmer. I had to layer it over MBSW for the photos, but it reaches full opacity on it's own. My camera kinda freaks out over solid white polishes, and wasn't able to pick up the glitters at all when I swatched it by itself. The glitter is deceptively interesting. The grey and white glitters create such depth and the holo glitter and shimmer shines over the white base. Sadly, my camera refused to get that little detail. But it's so pretty in person! Formula and application was identical to Jesse Pinkman, 3 thinner coats for full coverage.

 

 

The whole collection fits so well with the show, my favorite is definitely Chemistry. If you purchase the entire set, you will receive a limited edition black/holo glitter called Bad Bliss as an extra bonus!
