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!

Have a nice night. ♥

Mini Hard Candy Haul.~

Hello Guys!

Last night me and the bf went to Walmart to pick up some bubble wrap, and I was browsing through the make up isle, and saw that they had a display for the Candy Sprinkles Collection and I decided two pick two of these up to review for you guys!

Left to Right: Sweet tooth & Gummy green.

  First we will review Sweet Tooth.♥
Sweet tooth is a soft pastel blue crelly base with pastel microglitters.


This is the first Hard Candy polishes I've got and i'm so not disappointed of these. I'm glad I purchased them and that they're part of my collection now. 
For being only $4.00 these polishes are quite great! I've seen some girls' reviews about the Revlon polishes that are quite similar to this but just by looking at the bottle i'm not sure they're going to be good quality, and now that i'm running out of space everywhere to put my polishes in, I can't afford to buy stuff thats just going to be sitting there even though who am I kidding... i'm an addict! lol I tell myself I put all my polishes to use all the time.. (just my excuse to buy more) haha. So yeah got side tracked.
The formula is great for such cheap price! I though I'd have to layer many coats of top coat to get this to look decent but I was actually happy with the results by itself!


 
As for the glitter I am completely in love, the colors are so soft and perfect for spring!
We got pastel pink blue and white hexagonal micro glitters. I didn't have to fish for these at all, not dabbing application needed, just applied like regular non glitter polish.

Alrighty next up we have Gummy Green..

(Flash Shot)

 Gummy Green is a mint green crelly base with micro glitter.
This one really caught my attention the color reminded me of Mint Condition by The Hungry Asian.
I thought it looked really fun and pretty and also very suitable for the Spring!

 (Artificial Light Shot)

The application of this was super easy as well, I just brushed this on like regular polish.
I'm really happy I found this display at my local Walmart, I think I'll be going back tomorrow for some more of these. 
I liked the little smaller bottles as well, since I have such small space to keep all my polishes these save lots of space!



For the glitter we have micro hexagonal black and white glitter. I love it, I don't own another black & white glitter aside from Whirled Away by China Glaze (which I've never used).
I really like the fact that these glitters don't stick up at all. I don't usually use a top coat when i'm swatching multiple colors, or just swatching and removing my polish because its just a big waste :p

Alrighty guys that's it for today, I like the fact that i'm actually making myself write :)
Still hoping to get some feedback!

Have a wonderful night my polish addicts.
xo.
 
 

 

Polish Addict Nail Mail ♥

Hey Guys!
I'm so sorry this post took this long, when I first started this blog I really wanted to commit to at least writing once a day since for college I need to improve my writing skills a lot if I want to succeed in the career I want.

So yeah I always paint my nails more than twice a day so there's no excuse for my being a lazy butt that's too lazy to just lay down and grab her laptop and type.
But hey i'm doing it now, so I guess i'll get started with the polish talk <3

The polishes I'll be reviewing are both from my fave indie polish maker, Laura Sanchez, her polishes go by the name of Polish Addict, and if you look through my previous posts you can find the 2 post long review I did about my Polish Addict collection.

Alrighty, the first polish I'll be reviewing is called "Spring Prom Queen".
Spring prom queen is a beautiful whitish pink with different shaped and sized glitters.


As you can see this polish has a cute combination of shades and looks perfect for the spring!

For some reason when I tried this color by itself it didnt really look so pink but I was in a rush so didn't really want to wait for it to dry so I could build up the tone so I just decided to use White on White by China Glaze as undies.

I had to fish a little for the glitters but at the end got a good amount and again, if i would've taken the time to do three coats with no undies i'm sure i would've gotten lots more glitter, but I really like how this looks so im satisfied :)

I really like the kinds of glitter Laura put in this polish they all go together so greatly!
The formula of this polish was great! and after a few nails glitter wasn't hard to get out at all.


Now the best part! The glitter of course! This polish contains Neon matte pink glitter and hearts, we also got the medium sized purple hex glitter, white hexagons, as well as white bar glitter,rectangles and squares.
I'm really loving the white bar glitter and the really tiny white hex glitter.


The second polish I bought this time is called "Cupcakes & Kittens"
I'm not really a fan of cupcakes myself but everybody loves kittens :p 
Since Spring is coming up I knew I had to get my hands on this because, this polish definitely screams spring!


 

Cupcakes & kittens, is a really soft pink crelly base packed with tons of cute glitters!


 
 This is 2 coats of cupcakes & kittens of White on white by China Glaze.
I didn't have to fish for glitters at all, I put this polish on just like i would put any plain color on.
This color is seriously so pretty and I wish this picture would've came out a little brighter, so my apologies for that. 

Cupcakes & Kittens is super packed with tons of pastel big and tiny squared and hexagonal glitter.
You have pastel pink,blue,green and lavander.

I'm loving this polish and will definitely wear sometime soon again! I recommend you guys to get your hands on this ASAP its sold on Laura Sanchez' Shop here.


Hope you guys enjoy this post and don't forget to follow for more posts. :3
