Sincerely Polish Once Upon A True Love's Kiss Collection Swatch and Review Part 2

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
This is the second installment of the Once Upon A True Love's Kiss Collection from Sincerely Polish.  This fun collection contains 5 glitter jellies and 7 glitter toppers.  This Snow White themed collection is available for purchase now.

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is a glitter topper called Bashful.  Bashful contains teal glitter shards, orange and gold small hexes and orange and royal blue micro glitter.  Photos show 2 coats over Jenna Hipp I Surf With Boys topped with a shiny top coat.

Next is Charming Prince, a royal blue shimmer polish filled with holographic micro glitter.  The color is absolutely stunning.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

Sneezy is next and is another glitter topper.  Sneezy contains gold squares,  and gold, brown and orange medium hexes and gold, orange and brown small hexes.  (Perfect fall glitter topper!)  Photos show 2 coats over Jenna Hipp Mint To Be with shiny top coat.

The last glitter topper to share in this post is Happy.  Happy consists of teal squares, teal, brown, orange and gold hexes in a few sizes.  One of my favorite colors is purple (which makes me happy), so I topped 2 coats over Jenna Hipp's Ain't Life Grape and a shiny top coat.

Shiny Top Coat: Gloss It from www.kraftygurldesigns.com

Loves: The cute collection continues with Snow White characters.  Out of these 4 Sneezy and Charming Prince were my favorites.  I love that these glitter toppers are great fall colors as well.  And as always Sincerely Polish is cruelty free and 5-free, so it doesn't contain 5 of the nasty chemicals that can be in a lot of main stream polish.

Wishes: Still enjoying this collection, wouldn't change anything!

Sincerely Polish Once Upon A True Love's Kiss Collection Swatch and Review Part 1

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Once Upon A True Love's Kiss Collection will be shared for the next few blog posts.  Sincerely Polish has created a fun imaginative collection based on characters from Snow White.  The collection includes 5 glitter jellies and 7 glitter toppers.  I will be separating the review into 3 blog posts with random polishes in each one.

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is a glitter topper called Doc.  Doc contains large yellow circles, orange shards, medium yellow hexes, gold, orange, yellow and yellow iridescent small and micro hexes.  I paired Doc with a navy blue undie (Sailor from Zoya) and it made the glitter pop!  Photos show 2 coats dabbed on with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photo) and Doc water decal (3rd photo).

Next is Poisoned Apple, a gorgeous red glitter jelly.  Poisoned apple contains black and red large circles, red holo squares, and black and red micro glitter.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

Dopey is the next polish, which is a glitter topper.  Dopey contains green, and lavender glitter in several sizes of hexes along with some purple squares.  Photos show 3 coats to get total opacity with shiny top coat (1st photo) and Dopey water decal (2nd photo).

The last photo for this review is Huntsman, a brown glitter jelly.  Huntsman contains teal, turquoise, lavender iridescent glitter.  This is one of the most unique polishes I have ever seen.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and matte top coat (3rd photo).

Shiny Top Coat: Gloss It from www.kraftygurldesigns.com

Loves: Cute collection with fun theme, great color combinations that push the envelope and take risks.  Who would think to do a brown jelly with iridescent glitter?  Karen would!  My favorite of these 4 is a tie between Poisoned Apple and Doc.  And as always Sincerely Polish is cruelty free and 5-free, so it doesn't contain 5 of the nasty chemicals that can be in a lot of main stream polish.

Wishes: Fun fun fun!  Wouldn't change anything.

CDB Lacquer Fanny Pack Collection Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Guess what collection I have today?  It is called the Fanny Pack Collection!  I must admit, I may have sported a fanny pack back in the day....a neon pink one!  This collection from CDB Lacquer brings out all the neon, the glitter and the black light sensitivity!  The Fanny Pack Collection will be available August 29th.

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Shweet, a neon pink glitter jelly.  Shweet contains silver and pink glitters in this brilliantly bright pink jelly.  Photos show 3 coats for total opacity topped with shiny top coat.

Next is Tubular, a teal shimmery glitter jelly.  Tubular has both silver and teal glitters and the one thing I love doing with shimmer polishes is placing them over black.  Photos show 3 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photos) and 2 coats over black (3rd and 4th photos) with shiny top coat.

Gnarly is the bright yellow-green neon jelly with yellow holo glitter and green glitter.  This polish is the most sheer of the 5, so the 3 coats did show some visible nail line.  Photos show 3 coats with shiny top coat.

My favorite of the Fanny Pack Collection is Psych!  Psych! is a fuchsia purple jelly with magenta and purple glitter.  I'm a huge fan of purples and this bright color blew me away and put a huge smile on my face.  Photos show 3 coats with shiny top coat.

The last polish in the collection is Rad, a pretty orange glitter jelly.  Rad has gold small glitters and gold micro glitter.  Formula with Rad, along with all the Fanny Pack Collection was smooth to apply (even with a small brush!).  Cheyenne had provided a large brush and I didn't even need it!  Photos show 3 coats with shiny top coat.

Shiny Top Coat is Gloss It from www.kraftygurldesigns.com

Loves:  Fun bright colors that are black light sensitive.  (Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate a backlight until after I swatched the colors, so I do plan on some additional nail art with the colors using the black light.)  Easy formula to work with and apply.  And of course an added bonus besides being pretty polishes is that they are 5-free and don't contain the 5 of the nasty chemicals that polish can contain.

Wishes:  I wish I had my backlight earlier in my swatching...but don't you fret, I'll get some nail art done and show you the magic in due time.

Kitty Polish August Subscription Box Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I'm reviewing the August Subscription Box from Kitty Polish.  The subscription box from Kitty Polish contains 2 full size, nail vinyls and embellishments.  This month's box includes glitter and nail vinyls and 2 polishes.  I was happy to see that Chelsey (owner of Kitty Polish) also included a mini of her top coat in Ocean Mist Scent.  I've been using her gardenia scented top coat and it smells really good.

Now let's get to some swatches.

First up is Amazeballs, a purple-blue (blurple!) polish that has both blue and purple shimmer in it.  I love this polish because it keeps you guessing on the color.  Photos show 2 coats with Kitty Polish Ocean Mist Top Coat.

The second polish included in August's subscription box #TBT, a shimmery yellow polish, that almost looks golden in the light.  Photos show 2 coats with Kitty Polish Ocean Mist Top Coat.

The glitter included in this box included white and purple holo flowers, purple hexes and yellow dots.      So of course I had to do 2 floral manis!  Chelsey made using the glitter easy!

She also had some nail vinyls made.  I decided to use them along with another type of half moon nail vinyl to get a neat design.

Loves: Fun box that includes 2 beautiful colors and nail art supplies!  Who doesn't love that?  I also love that Kitty Polishes are always 5-free so they don't contain some of the nasties that can be in polish.  The labels make me smile too!  The top coat smells really fresh and clean and leaves a nice shine on your nails.

Wishes:  I wish the nail vinyls were a little larger to truly utilize them in the fashion they were meant to be used.

Beginnails' Sunday Six Week 37

Greetings and Nailutations,

This week I didn't have a lot of time for nail art.  I did have some art in my phone from the week before though, so half my favorites are swatches that are super sparkly!  I can't resist sparkle!

The first mani is a gradient of Shattered Gumballs and Melon Ballin' from Drip Drop Nail Paint with stamping over it.  I really love how colorful and bright this mani is.

Another favorite this week is using Beach to the Bar from Powder Perfect and stamping over it.  I decided to make it looks softer with adding a matte top coat.

Skittle design - different design on every finger using Squishy Face Polish Frozen Margarita.  This mani is bright and makes me want a frozen margarita!

The next 3 favorites are swatches of Daily Hues Nail Lacquer.  I swatched quite a few this last week and these were my favorites.  Ashlyn is a gorgeous sparkly glitter bomb and part of the Fall Collection.

Nina is a soft lavender holo and part of the Fall Collection.

Sea is a pretty teal holo (part of the Seattle Seahawks Trio).

Which is your favorite?
