ABC Challenge: P is for Painted Sabotage
Howdy, everyone! Another Wednesday evening, another ABC Challenge post! Today's letter is "P" and I've got a new-to-me indie brand to show for it. I found Painted Sabotage via Manicure Addict (whose blog you should definitely be reading if you aren't already) a few weeks ago. I immediately fell in love with Gargle Blaster and knew I had to have it!
Nice little bottle shot there, but on to the nails, yes?
GB has everything you could want; fuchsia squares in two sizes and small fuchsia hexes, silver hexes in three sizes, micro glitters in silver and gunmetal all in sheer minty blue/green base with a slight shimmer. Seriously, this polish is so pretty! It's quite sheer, but application was a breeze and it built up nicely in 3-4 coats. I used it here with no undies and you can see in the photo below the depth this beauty has.
I used Sinful Color Outrages (not a misspelling, that's how it's printed on the bottle) for the accent nails and half moons here. Outrages' creamy fuchsia shine was a perfect complement to GB.
I'll be picking up a few more Painted Sabotage polishes when my beauty budget opens up a bit. Speaking of which, did anyone snag one of the Allure Beauty Boxes this time around? I was super lucky and snuck one in, so be expecting a review on it in a few weeks!
Thanks so much for reading and be sure to check out the other lovely ladies in the ABC Challenge, you can find them via the links below!

This mani looks so lovely! I love the combination and that glitter is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI've never heard of Painted Sabotage before, that polish is sooo cute! I understand why you had to buy it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely love at first sight! People have got to stop blogging about all these fantastic indies though...my wallet can't take it!!
DeleteI love the name Gargle Blaster!! What does that even mean, lol? I love this design!
ReplyDeleteOh, I meant to put that in there. Gargle Blaster is a reference to the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. PS's etsy listing describes it like this:
Delete"The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox, a major character in Douglas Adams' novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The effect of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon, wrapped 'round a large gold brick. It has also been described in the novel as the alcoholic equivalent to a mugging; expensive and bad for the head."
It's a book that's been on my "to read" list forever. Much like my polish list, it grows and never seems to get any smaller lol Thanks!
Wow, that is just jammed packed with glitter. Looks fantastic with that fuchsia creme you used.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have got to stop reading all these great posts about wonderful indie brands though. I won't have a place to store polishes if I spend all my rent money on them first lol
DeleteI love this! I really need to grab some PS polishes. This one is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm really digging her polishes, I've ordered a couple. Oh, and I'm expecting my first order from Daring Digits...I'm so excited to try them out! Thanks, Kimber!
DeletePainted Sabotage is to die for :D OMG! Love this one!
ReplyDeleteShe does great work over there, doesn't she? Thanks :)
DeleteThat glitter is oh so pretty! I really like it it looks great on you and the combo you did works just fine!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePainted Sabotage rocks something serious. I adore Gargleblaster. Big fan, and you've paired it up in a creative and bold way. Love what you did here.
ReplyDeleteYou know...this is the first I've heard of those Allure Access boxes. I've been living under a rock. It looks cool. Can't wait to hear whatcha got and whatcha think! :)
Got the box yesterday and holy wow! was it totally worth the 40 bucks! I'll put up a review in a day or two. Thanks!
Deletevery nice! I like the colors together :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the half moons idea and I agree the colours are awesome together!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simona! I really dislike doing half moons cuz I'm just no good at them. These took me forever so I'm glad they look alright!
DeleteWow, what a nice indie glitter, it builds up well!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I don't have any Painted Sabotage polishes yet. Maybe I should try and get my hands on some :)
