Review: Different Dimension Ditz & Comfortably Numb

Hello lovelies!

Today I have a very special post for you, featuring my first review for an indie polish! Missi of Different Dimension was looking for bloggers to review her polishes, I submitted a request to be given the opportunity and imagine my surprise when I got an acceptance email!

This is a 2 for 1 review! First of I should mention that I purchased Ditz myself but Comfortably Numb was provided for an honest review. Links after the photos to help you get your own Different Dimension polishes!

First up are some photos of Ditz on it's own. Ring finger is Zoya Purity. Ditz is from The 80's Baby Collection and is a hot pink scattered neon holographic nail polish. I used 2 coats although I could have gotten away with 1.




So gorgeous! Next up I added on Comfortably Numb. CN is from the Pink Floyd inspired Echoes Collection. I am a huge Pink Floyd fan so I was super excited to see this collection! CN is described as a clear base with pink shimmer, hot pink and yellow glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes. Even though the pink glitters almost blend in with the undies the yellow looked so amazing that I had to pair these two together! I kept a white accent nail so that you could see how gorgeous the glitters are on their own! This is one coat of glitter, to get the payout that I wanted I wiped the brush off on the neck of the bottle and then recollected the glitters on my brush before dabbing on.












I seriously love this combo! The wear has been amazing, I am on day 3 and still no sign of tip wear!

Different Dimension polishes can be purchased directly from Etsy or from these retailers: Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signatures, Edgy Polish and ledouxnuage.

You can also find Different Dimension on Facebook and Instagram!

What do you think? Do you own any Different Dimension polishes? If so what are your favorites?

NOTD: Orly Fresh & Candeo Fully Loaded

Hello lovelies!

Here is the 2nd installment of my birthday polish manis! I started with a base of Orly Fresh. Love this green! Application was beautiful and it dried quickly to an almost rubber like finish. I couldn't leave it alone though so I topped it with a coat of Candeo Fully Loaded! I had to dab a bit to get the glitter placement where I wanted it but overall I was super happy with how easily it applied and didn't have to dig around very much!







I really love how this turned out! Black, silver, holo, SQUARES, love this glitter topper!
