Silly Bee's Chickadees Goodly Granizados Collection Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I have 4 polishes from Silly Bee's Chickadees Goodly Granizados Collection.  This collection was inspired by the tasty treats found in Costa Rica on Melissa's (owner of Silly Bee's Chickadees) trip last winter.  What I love about Silly Bee's Chickadees, is that her products always have a portion of the proceeds go towards a good cause that center around empowering and improving the lives of women, youth and children.  Currently, a portion of the proceeds will be going towards a non-profit called Polished Girlz.  Polished Girlz was started by a teenager, who wanted to make little girls who have to stay in hospitals for an extended period of time feel pretty by painting their nails.  It has now spun into an organization across the country that caters to many hospitals and also fund raising events (cancer walks, etc).  This is a fabulous organization!

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Naranja Granizado, a glitter topper that contains orange hex satin/matte hexes in a few sizes and iridescent micro glitters.  It is soft and pretty when over a similar color, and strikingly bright over a dark color.  Photos show 1 coat dabbed on over MPolish Apricot Delight and also over Rimmel's Black Satin topped with shiny top coat.






Next is Limón Granizado, a glitter topper that contains neon green hex satin/matte glitters in a few sizes and iridescent micro glitters.  This one is perfect for spring and reminds me of fresh leaves over a lighter similar color and neon lights over a darker color.  Photos show 1 coat dabbed on over MPolish Bells of Ireland and also over Rimmel's Black Satin topped with shiny top coat.





My favorite of the collection is up next and it is called Sandia Granizado.  Sandra Granizado contains light pink hex matte/satin glitters in a few shades as well as iridescent micro glitter.  It is so soft and perfect for work over a similar light color and is amazing over a dark color.  Photos show 1 coat dabbed on over MPolish Apple Blossom and also over Rimmel's Black Satin topped with a shiny top coat.






The last glitter topper of the collection is called Piña Granizado and contains yellow matte/satin hexes with iridescent micro glitters.  Photos show 1 coat dabbed on over MPolish Sweetclover and also over Rimmel's Black Satin topped with a shiny top coat.






Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from Dream Polish

Loves: Great formulas, that make application super easy!  These polishes are also 3-free so they don't contain 3 of the nasty chemicals that can be in polish.  I also love that when you purchase polish from Silly Bee's you know you are supporting a good cause.  The combination of matte glitters with iridescent really creates a great look and I love them over a dark color to really make them pop.

Wishes:  I'd love to see these looks in other colors as well (lavender, light blue, grey/silver).
