Haze Glaze - Texas Walrus

Hello~

I've got another Haze Glaze polish to show you. This one is called Texas Walrus. This is  a new polish that has not been released yet, but if a lot of people are loving, it Hazel (the creator of Haze Glaze) will certainly start selling it.

This polish is a dark gray jelly full of glitters. They are gold, green, blue, and silver and are of different shapes! The polish can either be worn on its own with 3 coats or layered over a base color. I will show you both possibilities.

First I tried it on its own. 3 coats were necessary to reach full opacity.

Can you see this strange shape glitter on my ring finger (1st from the left)? :D

Then, I layered it over Rivka Jenny, wich is a gorgeous charocoal holo I got from my swap with Rafa from Nail Ink. This polish is incredibly gorgeous and I'll show it in more details in a future post :D 

For this mani, I used 1 coat of Haze Glaze Texas Walrus over 2 coats of Rivka Jenny.

I got the idea of super close bottle shots from Stefels! :D

Final verdict: A gray jelly full of gorgeous glitters!! Yay~ This polish is really pretty! I love the different shapes of the glitters: you've got hexagons, diamonds, a some hexagons that have been cut in a strange shapes (see for example the 1st and 2nd pictures). The colors go well together and the base color is also really pretty. You can wear it on its own or layered. It dries with a matte finish. So a top coat is required. The glitters tend to quicky settle at the bottom of the bottle so you have to put the bottle upside down while you prep your nails to be able to have a good repartition of the glitters. Also shake it well. I personally prefer it layered. It's more easy to achieve this look and it looks better in my opinion. It think the combo with Rivka Jenny is a killer combo. What do you think?

Haze Glaze Glinda

Hello~

I will show you today the last polish from Haze Glaze's Wicked Glitter nail polish trio. I previously show you Elphaba and Fiero. You can click on their name to be lead to their swatches.

The inspiration behind this trio is the musical "Wicked".

The last polish from this mini colleciton is Glinda, which is described by Hazel, the creator of Haze Glaze polishes as follows.

Glinda is a pink jelly based glitter bomb packed with fine silver and pink glitter, raspberry, gold, lapis hexagon glitter and silver diamond shaped glitter. Sparkly and bubbly just like Glinda.

Let's go to the pictures!

1-2 coats of Haze Glaze Glinda over 2 coats of OPI My Address is Hollywood.

Haze Glaze Glinda
Final verdict: What a girlie polish! It's pink, it's full of glitters and it sparkles in the sun! There are a lot of tiny silver and pink glitters but also medium gold, large blue hex glitters, and pink diamonds glitters. The large blue and diamonds glitters came easily on the nails, which is great. I really appreciate the large blue glitters because they give more depth and interest in the polish. Then, it's a matter of opinion, but I'm not a super fan of lots of tiny glitters. However, I like how it looks in the sun! I also love the diamonds glitters! There are not so common in nail polishes so it's a real plus to have them here!  Overall, it's a lovely polish that I will wear again. On these pictures, I used 1-2 coats.

The base color

As a base color, I used OPI My Address is "Hollywood" from the Touring America collection (Fall 2011).

2 coats of OPI My Address is Hollywood. Picture taken in the sun.

My Address is Hollywood is a beautiful dusty pink creme with a subtle gold shimmer in it. I really love this polish! Pictures taken in my lightbox are not accurate for this polish. It looks too coral. Sunny pictures however are accurate!

I was super lucky to win this polish when Crystal from Crystaliciousss hold a giveaway for her 30th birthday! If you don't know here blog, run over there cos she always have nice articles with good pictures!

HazeGlaze Fiero

Hi~

As promised yesterday, here is the second polish from HazeGlaze's Wicked Glitter Nail Polish Trio. The inspiration behind this trio is Wicked the Musical. To see the first one I swatched, Elphaba, go here.

This polish is called Fiero. Fireo is described by Hazel, HazeGlaze's creator, as follows.

Fiero is a blue jelly based glitter bomb packed with gold, blue, green hexagon glitter, teal fine glitter and gold bar glitters. So Regal just like Fiero

Let's go to the pictures.

1 thin coat of HazeGlaze Fiero over 2 coats of H&M No Mambo Jumbo.

Haze Glaze Fireo

Final verdict: Fireo is a sheer light blue polish packed with lots of different sizes of hex glitters along with small bar glitters. The main colors are blue, green, gold, teal and silver. I like the variety of glitters. They spread well on the nails and are really pretty together. This is a nice combination. On the pictures here, I used 1 coat of polish and wiped the brush lightly on the bottle neck to avoid bringing to much glitters on the nails. In my frist attempt, I skipped this step and ended with too many glitters on the nails IMO. I'll show you pictures below. Overall, I'm pleased with this polish! :D

Here is the 1st combo I tried, without wiping the brush on the bottle neck and it ended with too many glitters placed in a random way...it's a bit messy IMO. I prefer the other version (cf pictures above). Some people will perhaps prefer it with lots of glitters, so I also show you this version.

1 thick coat of HazeGlaze Fiero over H&M Blue My Mind.

The base colors

I'll also show you the base colors I used for this manicures.

For the 1st one, I used H&M No Mambo Jambo.

H&M No Mambo Jambo is a gorgeous shimmery teal polish. It's more green than blue and almost a metallic polish. Application was a dream. I used 2 coats for a perfect look. I'm in love with this color. On the pictures with the HazeGlaze polish, the color of No Mambo Jambo is not accurate but it is in the picture below. I think I will reuse it a lot!

Second base color is also a H&M polish, it's called Blue My Mind.

H&M Blue My Mind is an awesome medium blue creme with a prefect formula. I really love how shiny and smooth it looks! I used 2 coats.

I received these 2 H&M polishes as a Xmas gift from the lovely and sweet Claudia from Nailing This! Thank you so much, Claudia!! Btw, she has a great blog with super early information on new collections! Go and visit it :D

HazeGlaze Elphaba

Hello!!

Do you remember the HazeGlaze polishes I showed you in a previous  post? If you don't, you can see them here.

Today, I have some swatches of Elphaba, one of the polish of HazeGlaze's Wicked Glitter Nail Polish Trio. This small collection is made of 3 polishes in mini format. Each polish is inspired by Hazel's (the creator of HazeGlaze) favorite musicals of all time - Wicked the Musical! I will show you the 3 polishes but I'll start with my favorite, Elphaba.

This polish is described by Hazel as follows.

Elphaba is sheer slightly green glitter bomb packed with fine green and holographic glitter, copper, emerald, light green, olive, gold and black hexagons in various sizes. So unique and beautiful just like Elphie herself.

1-2 coats of HazeGlaze Elphaba over 2 coats of Zoya Holly.

Haze Glaze Elphaba

Final verdict: I really love this polish. I think it's my favorite from the wiked glitter trio! It has a lot of different colors of green hexagon glitters but also gold ones. And some  green and gold square glitters are also present! All these glitters are suspended in a sheer green grass base. Concerning the size of the glitters, you've got tiny ones, medium but also large hex! I like the variety of sizes and the different colors of green and gold go well together! Application was nice. The glitters spread rather well on the nails. I used here 1 or 2 coats. For some nails, I used only 1 coat but for other I replaced/added larger glitters with a second coat. In conclusion, that's a really nice and interesting polish. I REALLY love the glitters! Maybe a clear base would also have been nice because the actual green base is too sheer to be worn on its own but when you layer it, you've got the sheer green coming out. For my current mani, it's no problem, but if you want to layer it over white or a light color, the green will show up. It can be nice or not...depending on your base polish.

I'd like to know your opinion, guys. Do you like sheer base colors or do you prefer glitters suspended in clear polish? I'm curious to know because I'm not sure myself what I prefer!lol

I will show you Fiero and Glinda, the two other polishes of this trio soon. So stay tuned! :D

Zoya Holly

The base color I used for this mani is Zoya Holly. Holly is part of Zoya Gems & Jewels Holiday 2011 collection and I was lucky to get it thanks to a swap I did with Traci. Holly is a deep electric green metallic polish. It has this glow-from-within touch that adds so much depth to the polish! I did 2 effortless coats but it was already near opaque after one. Application was a really dream, super easy! That's a polish I will wear a lot!

2 coat of Zoya Holly.
