Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Lifetime of Love

Morning all! I hope you’ve had a good week so far. Totally unpaid endorsement: I’ve been using the app Cozi to schedule appointments and share calendars with my hubby on his phone and it is working like a charm! We can share grocery lists (oh that reminds me!), and calendars, and other lists. Bonus: he’s actually using it. haha! 😛 Anyway, I have a custom polish from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics that was made for me a really long while back that I thought I had shown you already, but I guess not!

Lifetime of Love is a polish that was made based on my parents’ wedding photo. It’s a soft grey scattered holographic polish with a mix of black, white, holographic glitters and rusty red shards.

I used 3 thin coats plus top coat. Formula was wonderful.

Okay, gotta go – toddler is up from nap (already!). Let me know if you’ve been using any wonderful apps lately in the comments!

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Empty Night nail polish swatch + review

Hello there and happy Monday to you. 🙂 I just have a couple photos of Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Empty Night to show you this afternoon.

Empty Night is – to my eye – a blackened teal to blue to purple shifting shimmer polish. Formula was good, a bit thin but no flooding or running around.

This isn’t currently available right now but there are a lot more pretties in the shop! Let me know your thoughts on this vampy polish. 🙂

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Debogram swatch + review

Hi everyone! It’s been a busy week here at my house, I hope your week is running more smoothly than mine. 🙂 For today’s post, I have a lovely polish from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics called Debogram.

Debogram is a light silvery purple holographic nail polish with scattered holographic specks.

Formula was smooth, if a bit thin. I’ve used 3 thin coats plus top coat. I wish the sun would have been cooperating more on the day I took photos of this beauty!

Debogram is currently in stock as of this writing at Carpe Noctem Cosmetics. Have a great day, I’ll see you tomorrow!

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Beyond the Clouds swatch + review

Happy afternoon to all my awesome lacquer lovers! A quick post today with Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Beyond the Clouds.

Beyond the Clouds is a grey-green based holographic nail polish with a coppery sheen and multicolored flakes. I wish the coppery sheen was more prevalent in person though!

The sun wasn’t really cooperating with me on the day I took these photos, but the holographic really shows up much better in person.

This was a polish to mark the second anniversary of CNC’s shop being open and it is still available! Isn’t it a beauty? You should go peruse the Carpe Noctem Cosmetics shop at your leisure.

Your thoughts on this polish?

Favorite Indie Polishes of 2015

Hi everyone! I have a huge post today so let’s jump right in. I had such a hard time narrowing down my favorite indie polishes that I showed on the blog in 2015 but I finally got it down to 20…p.s. *phew!

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Drake nail polish

Good morning all! I have a really lovely polish from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics to show you today, called Drake.

Drake is an emerald crelly texture with multi-colored flakes and scattered holo.

This is 3 thin coats plus top coat. Formula was nice, not too thin and not too thick, for me. The flakes provided a really nice depth to the polish that I just really loved.

Carpe Noctem Cosmetics has a really great selection of unique polishes. The turn-around-time can be a little longer than other indie shops, just a heads up if that’s something you take into consideration when buying from an indie.

Let me know what you think of this beautiful green polish!
