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!

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. ♥

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.

Nyx - Zoya ~~

Hey everybody!

Today i'll be sharing a beautiful polish for you guys!
Since last night I did my liquid sand, Can't let Go review and I mentioned the Zoya's Pixie Dust collection I decided i'll swing by Ulta and get me at least one of these babies, so I picked up Nyx!



Zoya's Pixie Dust nail polish is 5-free (free of DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor) the bottles are quite small compared to other brands like OPI and China Glaze. The cap has a matte texture to it too, i thought that was a little cute detail.

The base of this color was a light periwinkle blue jelly color and even though in the first coat it shows very sheer the color is build-able.
This polish was really easy to apply and the glitter is perfectly distributed


It's recommended for you not to apply a top coat since these polishes are meant to dry matte, they also say is best not to apply a base coat either, but I feel like applying a base coat makes the removal process easier and a little better for your nails.
You're always protecting your nails from acetone and chemicals in polish whenever you use a base coat.


I personally adore this color and think this collection has many beautiful colors, that I shall get my paws on soon!
I feel like these colors are a little more toned down than the Liquid Sands by OPI, these are just a little more work appropriate, but I am excited to get the Liquid Sand polish coming out with the new Oz collection by OPI.


I hope you guys enjoyed and found my review helpful.
I look forward to getting some followers and people who want me to keep it up with all these posts...
