Greetings and Nailutations,
It's another installment of 3 empties, where I review 3 products I have used up and express my opinion on how well they worked, how they smelled, their packaging and if I'd make a repeat purchase.

3 Empties: Dream Polish Gem Glam Top Coat, Fortune Cookie Soap Whipped Cream and Sunny's Body Products Hand Lotion
Greetings and Nailutations,
It's another installment of 3 empties, where I review 3 products I have used up and express my opinion on how well they worked, how they smelled, their packaging and if I'd make a repeat purchase.
The first product is my go to top coat from Dream Polish, Gem Glam Top Coat in the scent of Clovers and Dirt. This was a limited edition spring scent and it has become one of my top scents. Right now I would rank them as Melon Baller/Summer Melon (tied for 1st), then Clovers and Dirt and then Pink Sugar. Gem Glam Top Coat is also 5-free, so it doesn't contain 5 of the harsh chemicals that can be found in polish.
Smell Test: smells like earth, or grass on a spring morning. So refreshing and clean (even though the word dirt is in the name!)
Feel Test fast drying
Packaging Test: easy application, due to the wide brush
Buy Again: Of course! I have a drawer dedicated to Gem Glam Top Coat scents!
The next product I used up was from Fortune Cookie Soap. I purchased a Whipped Cream, which is their whipped body lotion in the scent of Krispy Cream. I have become obsessed with Fortune Cookie Soap's Whipped Creams and they are one of my favorite products in their shop.
Smell Test: super sweet, like a glazed donut. My husband LOVED the scent, but it was a bit too sweet for me.
Feel or Look Test: Smooth, light and buttery feeling. Makes my skin feel so moisturized.
Packaging: Nice pot, with screw on lid and see-through jar.
Buy Again: YES! I love the Whipped Creams, but will try for less sweet scents.
Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?
Happy Polishing,

The last product was a product that was in Sunny's Body Products Exclusive Spring Box. It is Sunny's On The Go Hand Lotion in the scent of Breezes and Sunshine. I was looking forward to the Spring Box because all the scents were described as clean - and I love clean scents.
Smell Test: soft, clean floral scent. I'm sniffing my hands after rubbing the last of it on my hands and I smell lilies and fabric softener sheets in the fresh outdoor scent.
Feel or Look Test: I loved this lotion! It absorbed very quickly, which is important since I kept this at my desk at work and I don't like greasy finger prints on my keyboard.
Packaging: it came in a 1 oz plastic bottle, which had a flip lid. I liked the shape and look of this container.
Buy Again: Yes she carries over 400 scents! I would order this scent again, but it was exclusive to the Spring Box.

3 Empties: Krafty Gurll Designs Gloss It Top Coat, Fortune Cookie Soap Body Wash and Sunny's Triple Thick Body Cream
Greetings and Nailutations,
It's another installment of 3 empties, where I review 3 products I have used up and express my opinion on how well they worked, how well they smelled, their packaging and if I'd make a repeat purchase.
The first product is a fast drying top coat from Krafty Gurl Designs called Gloss It! Gloss It! creates a fantastic shine, doesn't smear nail art and is UV resistant. I originally received this as a press sample with a review of one of her duos.
Smell Test: smells like polish.
Feel Test fast drying
Packaging Test: easy application.
Buy Again: I loved the shine on Gloss It. It didn't dry as fast as a few other indie brands I am currently using, but the fact it does't smear nail art is always a reason to come back to Gloss It!
The next product I used up was from Fortune Cookie Soap. What is it? You ask...well the label disintegrated in the shower...I know our water is hard, but I'm pretty sure the label should be a little more water proof. Right? This was the Body Wash in the scent of 'Tis The Season To Be Mary. Yes....I know I am still using up the massive amounts of products from the Winter line, but when things are 50% off, you can't blame me for going a little nuts. It has a flowery fruit smell.
Smell Test: fruity and refreshing
Feel or Look Test: Foams and bubbles up easily with the use of a loofah - love the actual product.
Packaging: I was a litte disappointed that the Body Wash label dissolves in the shower. It should withstand any water damage...it's body wash. Aside from the label, the bottle was easy to use.
Buy Again: I will most likely pass on future Body Wash products from Fortune Cookie Soap, unless the label changes. But there are plenty of other products I love from them (soap, whipped creams).
Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

Smell Test: soft, clean floral scent, with almost a smell of candy.
Feel or Look Test: made my hands soft and moisturized.
Packaging: it came in a 1 oz plastic bottle. The only thing I struggled with was trying to get all the product out when it was almost gone. I had to open the lid to dip a finger in. Must use all the lotion!
Buy Again: Yes, but I will explore other scents as well since she carries over 400!

3 Empties: Smokey Mountain Lacquers Cuticle Oil, Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream and Sunny's Body Products Sugar Scrub
Greetings and Nailutations,
It's another installment of 3 empties, where I review 3 products I have used up and express my opinion on how well they worked, how well they smelled, their packaging and if I'd make a repeat purchase.
*Press Sample*
The first product I used up is a cuticle oil I received from Smokey Mountain Lacquers. Kim's (owner of SML) cuticle oil contains all the essential oils needed to moisturize your cuticles, skin around your cuticles and nails. I received a polish bottle full (0.5 oz) of unscented cuticle oil. When I first received it, I reviewed my first impression and I loved it aside from the packaging (I'm clumsy, so I prefer spill proof packaging). Kim was quick to start carrying it in handy spill-proof applicators and also sells it in several scents as well! I ended up placing the cuticle oil in a travel applicator and kept it at my desk for handy use!
Smell Test: Unscented - which was a nice change, so I could enjoy the scent of my hand lotions without the "scent fighting" between lotion and cuticle oil.
Feel Test: absorbed quickly and left my nails and skin soft and looking healthy!
Packaging Test: originally the polish bottle was too large and the brush applicator was stiff, now she has a roll on applicator that makes it perfect for keeping in your purse, backpack or pocket!
Buy Again: YES! But I want to try some of her scents! Especially vanilla!! YUM!
The next product I used up was sample size of Whipped Cream from the Winter Box from Fortune Cookie Soap Company. I received in my box the scent of Jello Surprise (this box was inspired by National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation). The lotion was like whipped lotion, nice and thick and moisturizing. It went on great and was used up so quickly that I had to buy a larger 8oz container!
Smell Test: Fruity sweet scent, loved it!
Feel or Look Test: great texture, like whipped lotion
Packaging: Since it was a sample size, I can't complain too much...but I would have loved larger container! haha
Buy Again: YES! I loved the texture so much, I ordered a full size in a different scent to try it out!
Have you tried any of these products? Did you have similar or different experiences than I did?

The last product I used up was a sugar scrub from Sunny's Body Products. Her products come in at least 400 scents. The one I used was in the scent of Sparkling Snowflakes. It had a clean, minty scent which I LOVED! It made my hands feel refreshed! I also LOVE that her sugar scrub is made with fine sugar. Most sugar scrubs seem to be too harsh to use daily, but Sunny's sugar scrub can be used daily without damaging my hands.
Smell Test: YUM! clean, crips, fresh with a hint of mint
Feel or Look Test: Left my hands soft and moisturized
Packaging: Comes in 2oz container with a small plastic spoon to get the perfect amount.
Buy Again: YES! I have at least 4 in my hand care basket! No other scrub has met the quality of Sunny's.
