Polish Addict-Pretty in Pastels.


Hello Everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my most recent purchase from Polish Addict by Laura Sanchez!
This beautiful polish goes by the name of Pretty in Pastels and it's definitely a MUSt have for the spring♥


(The polish i'm holding is not Pretty in Pastels)


Pretty in pastels is a light mint green crelly with different kinds of pastel glitter.


 This polish was quite sheer, in the picture I'm wearing 4 coats with no undies. I totally adore the color base and the end result. I love how I can use this polish over different blue & mint colors.





 Even with this polish being so sheer the final result isn't a bulky fat nail. I love it when I can apply my indies just like regular polish and not have to worry about having to smooth surfaces out. 
The glitter in this polish spreads out on the nail very evenly making the application very smooth.




Now onto the glitters, we have pastel baby blue matte hexagonal glitters, purple big hex glitters,micro pastel baby blue glitters and some green hexagonal glitters.

You guys can purchase this polish at http://www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/
but her shop will be closed for the next two days.
I should be having two more polish addict polishes to be added to my collection and swatched here, so if you like what you see don't forget to follow :)

 :Love you all! Goodnight<33

Polish Addict Nail Mail!!

Hello Everyone!

As you guys know i'm a huge fan of the indie brand Polish Addict, well the amazing Laura Sanchez Sent me this polish for me to review,it goes by the name of "Southern Belle".




Southern Belle is a white crelly base with tons of different kinds of glitters.

 
 Flash On

The glitters make the white base look a little lilac-ish to me. I was amazed with how great the formula was.
The application was also amazing and no fishing was required, I completely love polishes like that, in my book it gives them an automatic +10 ;).


Shade

Okay now i'm going to talk about the glitters:
This polish is fully packed with orange,blue,white,silver and light blue holographic hex glitters. We also have violet triangles that are also holographic,we have some holo blue diamond shaped glitter,as well as the micro holographic glitter,some medium sized squares and bar glitter!!



I'm so excited to add this polish to my collection, its such a variety of glitter and there's just tons and tons of it. I really recommend you guys to purchase this polish it's definitely a must have!

Orly-Miss Conduct.


Hey Everyone!

Today I broke one of my nails when I had planned to do some tribal nails :c so now that my nails are recovering, i'll be just swatching colors instead of doing nail art.

My nails have been growing pretty fast lately though so hopefully I'll be back at my good length soon.

Alrighty here's Miss Conduct.






Miss Conduct is a bright raspberry pink base with scattered holographic glitters.





The holographic effect isn't that strong but this is still a gorgeous color!


The application of this polish is great and it only took me two coats to reach full coverage.
All the pictures are two coats, no base coat and shiny top coat.

I believe this polish came out with the Naughty or Nice holiday collection.
It took me a while to find this polish, every time I would go check the sally's near me this color would be sold out.
I believe you can find this easily at Ulta, and it costs about 8.00 USD.


China Glaze's Avant Garden Collection Swatches.


Hey everyone!

I hope you guys are doing fine today.
I have two colors from the Avant Garden collection by China Glaze.

The first one will be Fancy Pants.


Fancy Pants is a medium toned blurple (blue-purple) with a very bright purple shimmer to it.


Fancy Pants is one of the 12 shades from the Avant Garden collection. I bought mine at Sally's Beauty Supply. The application of this color was quite awesome. Two coats gave me full coverage and the shimmer shows great, just not on camera.






The shimmer was really hard to photograph but you can kind of see it here under the China word. lol
This is the best picture I could get out of like 100 I took.

The second color I have today is Passion for Petals


Passion for Petals is a bright raspberry pink cream polish. I didn't think I would like this color but just in the rush of leaving the store with something I picked it up randomly.


I don't regret buying this polish at all, the formula was good, in the picture I used two coats, I feel like I should've put a third coat.

I might pick up some other colors from this collection later on, but honestly none of them really catch my eye.


If you are a blogger and would like to me check out your page just leave the link on the comment box.
I would love to expand my circle on the blogger nail community!



Don't forget to follow for more reviews & swatches. If there is any color in specific you would like to see leave a comment as well!

Have a nice night. ♥

China Glaze - Atlantis

This is a polish from the "Specialty Collection" glitters from China Glaze, this polish is honestly breath taking.

Atlantis is a medium blue/teal/aqua jelly base with tons of holographic glitter.
The more coats you apply the bluer the color will appear.


This polish will feel kind of gritty if you don't apply top coat on, however in the pictures I didn't because I was only leaving the polish on while I took the pictures for this post.
Whenever I wear this baby for a while i'll definitely be putting a thick gel top coat.


I took a blurry picture so you guys could see just how strong this holo effect is.
This polish is one of my favorites now! I wish removing glitter wasn't such a hassle or I would wear this all the time.

I apologize for this being the macro shot of the bottle and not the actual nail I totally forgot about it, and remember when I had already taken the polish off. i hope you guys can bear with me.
The application for this polish was easy this is a very sheer jelly with one coat so I used three for the pictures.
Like i mentioned before the more coats the darker or bluer the polish is going to look like.

I wanted to take a sun shot of this polish but today wasn't very sunny outside so i'm just using inside artificial light for it.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and if you're wondering were I got this color from because i've never seen it in stores, I got it from ebay for a cheap 7 bucks :D

I'll catch you guys later, love;
Polish Junkie.

My Polish Addict by Laura Sanchez collection **part 2**

Haha, okay I didn't want to make just a huge long post but i'll do this review the same way as part two, so lets get started :)

First we'll have "Unicorn Love".

This beautiful polish is a pastel blue, it looks greyish as well and its packed with microglitters.
This is the only Polish Addict mini I have and I totally regret not buying a full size, i adore this polish!


 This is two coats of unicorn love, no top coat in this picture.
The formula is just as great as the other polishes. Obviously no fishing required to get the glitters, you will get tons every time!





We have neon green,yellow and blue micro glitters and also red ones.
This polish looks gorgeous in the sun light, maybe i'll post a picture of it later on because I couldnt get a good one when this pictures were taken.


"Laffy Taffy"






Laffy Taffy is a Light pink jelly base with tons of glitters and micro glitters. Laffy taffy is my favorite kind of candy so I kinda had to get this for the awesome name!


My nails were a little shorter in this picture so i apologize about that. lol
The application was a little tricky for me but once again i'm not pro. lol
I tried dabbing all the glitters then smoothing it out with another coat.
This is three coats of laffy taffy in the picture and top coat to smooth it all out.







You can see that there's tons of yellow,blue,teal,purple,pink,red and orange glitters and then we have micro holo silver glitter
I like this polish a lot but like all Glitter Bombs it is a hassle to take off. so I've only worn this two times, which is not bad considering I have tons of polish sitting there that haven't been tried but that's kind of the point of my starting my blog, I will have something to push to use all my colors ( and an excuse to keep buying new polish ;) ).

And last but definitely not least....Drunken Elephant! 





 First of all  how awesome is this name? haha I love it. This polish is a white cream polish with lots of different crazy glitters. This is one of my coolest polishes ;) I don't know why I relate the big black dots to elephant feet? LOL im always trying to fish for the elephants feet in the bottle.


You have to kind of dab the polish on so you don't brush off the other glitters but I promise that you will get crazy combos of glitter on each nail!

I would also recommend to leave the bottle upside down for a little while before you paint your nails to make sure the glitter isn't sunk at the bottom :]

I can't really describe the shapes of these glitters because they are just so unique and crazy! but the only ones you can obviously spot are the "elephant feet" i was talking about earlier. The big black dots are just awesome!


Okay that completes my collection for now, I will definitely be purchasing lots of her polishes and I recommend you guys to check all her pages out and purchase some of her polishes!
I believe Her new collection will be released on March 1st, but there's lots of polishes you can purchase now at her store.

 the link to her shop is http://www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/
 you can also follow her on Instagram @polish_addict_34

Hope you guys keep in touch i will be reviewing and swatching more polishes in the future so stay tunes ;)

Untried-*. Sally Hansen - Rockstar Pink

Polish Junkie here ✌
Today's untried color is Rockstar pink by Sally hansen. I looked for this polish for quite a while, none of my local cvs or Walgreens had it until one day I found it at some Walmart.

This baby spent a few months on my rack without being touched, I honestly thought it looked crazy similar to Emily de Molly's "Warrior Princess" but I found out that this is a way different color, Rockstar Pink is more of a plum color with pink, gold, blue and orange micro glitters.

I tried taking a blurry picture so you guys could see how sparkly and shimmery this polish is. Under the sun light it's amazingly gorgeous!





Application was easy as usual with any Sally Hansen polish, they've got a great formula for the xtreme wear line for a really cheap price! 
I was afraid the polish will drag to the bottom of my nail since its so glittery but surprisingly that didn't happen.

I'm glad I'm taking this polish off of my untrieds list because I am loving it!





If there's any specific colors you'd like me to review, or any ideas for tutorials an more posts let me know in the comment box I'd be glad to bring all of you readers' ideas to life.

keep in touch lovelies, more swatches, reviews and nail art coming soon💋

.xo. PolishJunkie.
