Princessly Polish Nail Essential Set

Today, I'm going to share some new products from Princessly Polished. This is the new Princessly Polished Nail Essentials.

Princessly Polished Nail Essential set consists of a basecoat, quick dry top coat, and a nourishing oil that ALSO acts as a drying oil. Making your mani dry even faster! ;)

(Basecoat) "Once Upon a Tip Basecoat": this sheer white basecoat helps smooth out the nail & brightens them. Dries fairly quick and to a satin finish. This basecoat is durable enough to wear alone on the nails while adding a little strength to them. The finish of the basecoat is beautiful!

(Topcoat) "Your Royal Shineness Topcoat": a VERY quick dry topcoat that is extremely shiny. The flat brush of this makes it where you wont streak that nail art you've spent so much time on. This is a 5 free topcoat just like the rest of the PP line!

(Oil) "The End Mani-cure Oil": a nourishing oil that also acts of a drying oil. This is an unscented really light oil. Absorbs into the skin extremely well without leaving an oil shine to the skin like other oils do. This oil is full of anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Ingredients: Mineral Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Jojoba Oil. NOTE: If your brush on this oil is stiff just gently pinch & rub the bristles.

Release date: November 20th.

Okay, enough with the straight to the point info. I'm going to talk a little about my personal experience with this set.

-Basecoat: This is a super creamy formula. A sheer, brightening base coat. I love that this basecoat dries satin because I personally think it acts an extra touch of natural look to the nail. Definitely would recommend two coats + topcoat if you are going to wear alone. If under a mani then just one coat would do the job.

When I wear this alone I prep my nails by removing any dead cuticle, gently buff the nail, apply a dehydrator the nail, sticky base coat, then 2 thin coats of Once Upon a Tip Basecoat. Add topcoat.

-Topcoat: I honestly LOVE this topcoat. Dries extremely quick and a high shine finish like a gel topcoat would. I have not really had the chance to test this topcoat with nail art but will update this blog post when I get the chance.
I have tho noticed that this topcoat has made glitters stay a lot longer than other topcoats. That is a plus!

-Oil: This oil. I have to admit this is a game changer when it comes to swatching. This is the only oil I've used that DOES NOT leave an oil shine to the skin even after absorbed. Absorbs very quick and also no lingering smell. The End Mani-Cure Oil is completely unscented.

Overall, I'm completely in love with this manicure essential set by Princessly Polished. A complete game changer all while making your nails beautiful. If you prefer more color to the nails this still works amazing with a colored polished. I have noticed that my manicure dries a lot quicker than usual & lasting a couple days longer. Extra plus! Now I can make my manicures last more than a week.

Elevation Polish 1st swatches EVER!

Today, I'm sharing 3 swatches from Elevation Polish. 

Polishes: a Limited Edition Duo & a jelly/creme.

First swatch is "Limited Edition: Yeti Crashes a Cranberry Festival".

This polish comes as a duo with a gold flaky/shimmer topper. 

Pictured is 2 coats. Two fingers shiny topcoat, other two matte topcoat.

Next up is "Limited Edition: Yeti Gets Sauced".

Last up is "Pic de Sotllo".

This is an absolutely beautiful cobalt blue! The description on this product says creme but it's a jelly to me. You can easily do a pond mani with this! But looks opaque with 2 coats by itself. So we shall call this a jellyish-creme. 😊 Don't get me wrong I'm still in love!💙

Amazing formula, no streaks upon application, dries shiny. Just overall perfection!

Pictured is 2 coats. Two fingers matte, two shiny.

Elevation Polish- SBP

Hello, hello, hello!

Today I'm sharing 5 swatches from Elevation Polish "Small Batch Prototypes".

*Important* These swatches are old, these polishes are no longer available, and quality is poor. I apologize. This is just part of my normal "moving things off Instagram". Lol

First up is "Sunrise Alpineglow". I'm really not sure how to explain the color its reddish orange but maybe reddish peach/pink. Idk but it's very gorgeous color! The gold flakies all through it tho ehh not so much. They show perfectly in the bottle but fade to almost none existent to the eye on the nail. 😢 I tried matte & glossy topcoat but the flakies just aren't popping like the flakies other Elevation Polishes do. Other than that it's very gorgeous and I like it! There is also a slight red shimmer in the polish. 

Pictured is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.

Next up  is "Mount Kailash". 

This is a gorgeous Tiffany Co. blue color with different colored flakey shimmer. Pictured is 3 thin coats, no topcoat.

Next up is "Mount Bona". 

This is a deep purple with a slight blue to it. Filled with colorful flakies and a medium holo shimmer in it. 😍

Next is "Crescent Peak Spire".

This is a purple/blue duo chrome polish. Pictured is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.✨

Last up is "Blacktail Butte".

 This is a gorgeous purple toned gray with subtle holo shimmer. Honestly, my favorite!! I love this color so so much and have been searching for it until now. 😍 Pictured is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.✨

That is all for the SBP swatches. You can find more of Elevation Polish on the following links.

P•O•P Polish- Clueless Collection

Hi!

Today I'm moving more swatches off my IG onto a blog post. 

I've done this before but as always remember these are old swatches and old lighting. 

I have 6 swatches from Pop Polish Clueless Collection. This collection is UV Reflective meaning it reacts under black light. 

First up is "Sporadically". A minty/teal creme. UV Reflective: a very bright blue.

-

Formula is very nice! Dries shiny, no streaks, self levels if needed to.

-

Pictured is 2 thin coats, no topcoat. 

Next up is "Shopping with Dr. Suess". 

This is a slightly darker salmon color. UV Reflective: Bright Pink.

-

Applies like a thinner creme but very smooth, no streaks, and self levels if needed to. Dries pretty quick and shiny.

-

Pictured is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.

Next up is "Whatever". A gorgeous lavender thinner creme. UV Reflective: a bright but light colored purple

-

 Formula was great, no streaks, smooth and self levels if needed to. Dries fast and shiny too!

-

 Pictured is 2 coats, no topcoat.

Next up is "Cake Boy". This is a light blue/periwinkle creme. UV Reflective: very similar to "Sporadically" just more blue.

-

Cake Boy I thought the formula was great! Very smooth, even, no streaks, no need for self leveling but can if have to. Dries fairly quick and shiny too!

-

 Pictured is 2 coats, no topcoat.

Next up is "Hymeneally Challenge". This is a nice baby pink creme. UV Reflective: (not pictured) is a bright pink.

-

I personally had a little problem. I feel like the formula was a tad too thick for the bottle size. The larger bottle has seem to given none of the other swatchers trouble. That's why I've come to my conclusion with it being the bottle size itself and not the formula. 

   Other than the bottle size to formula ratio this polish is great! A little streaky on the first coat but self levels beautiful. Second coat was fine no streaks or anything. Dries pretty quick and shiny.

-

Pictured is 3 thin coats, no topcoat.

Last up is "UGH, as if!". This is a very pretty yellow! Resembles the color of a freshly sliced mango. UV Reflective: (not pictured) is a bright yellow/peachy color

-

Nothing to say because formula change. 

This formula was changed to be a little thinner. 

-

Pictured is 2 coats, no topcoat.

That's is all for this collection.

Pretty Woman NYC (Polishes)

Hello, Loves! 

Gosh I haven't done an actual blog post in awhile. (Moving things off IG doesn't count) I've been super busy lately with graduation coming up and other stuff. Don't worry I have a few blog posts coming this week & next. :) 

Today, I'm sharing 5 swatches that Pretty Woman NYC was kind enough to send me for reviewing! I'll have 4 other products featured in another blog post because they are nail care products. :)

Pretty Woman NYC is both 5 free & cruetly free.

First up is "Red Ceramic". This is a gorgeous red from the Ceramic collection. 

-Application: very smooth, even, no streaks, self levels if needed. 

-Formula: extremely good! Not too thick or too thin. It's almost like a creme. 

-Drying: dries very quick with a semi matte finish 

Pictured is 1 coat, plus HK Girl topcoat. 

Next up is "German Chocolate". This is a very lovely brown polish. 

-Application: very smooth, even, no streaks, self levels if needed.

-Formula: very nice! Not too thin or too thick, creamy. 

-Drying: dries shiny & fairly quick. 

Pictured is 2 thin coats, plus HK Girl topcoat. 

DUPE ALERT! If you're looking for a dupe of this it looks very similar to Tammy Taylor Gelegance in "Iced Coffee".

Another gorgeous polish from the Nude Collection is "Strawberry Cream". This is gorgeous off white polish with a slight baby pink tint to it. 

-Application. very smooth, even, no streaks, self levels if needed.

-Formula: formula was good! I really like this one & may be my favorite. 

-Drying: dried fairly quick & shiny 

Pictured is 2 coats, plus HK Girl topcoat. 

DUPE ALERT! If you're looking for a dupe of this OPI "Let's Be Friends" is extremely similar in color. 

Next up is "Relationship Goals". This is a too die for pink from the Valentines Collection. 😍💗 I'm obsessing over this color no doubt. 

-Application: very smooth, even, no streaks, self levels if needed.

-Formula: formula was fairly good. Not too thick or too thick. 

-Drying: I found this one took a little longer than the rest to dry. I'm not sure if I'm just impatient or if I'm used to fast drying polishes. Besides that this polish dries shiny and beautiful. 

Pictured is 2 coats, plus HK Girl topcoat.

NOTE: If you follow @gabbysnailart you know she wears this color pink in pretty much every manicure! (Not a bad thing. It's a beautiful color)

Last of my swatches I'm sharing a lovely glitter topper called "Forget-Me-Nots" from the Valentines collection. 

This has white & light pink hexagon glitters in multiple sizes, plus some gorgeous iridescent hexagon glitters. 

-Application/Formula: this has a lot more base than glitters so applying this with the brush wasn't so great. If you sponge on the glitters or do a glitter placement tho it is flawless! 

I'm definitely going to do a few glitter manicures with this beauty.

-Drying: when you sponge on the glitters this dries extremely quick!! 

Pictured is lightly/randomly sponged on over "Relationship Goals" as a base, topped with HK Girl topcoat. 

----------------------------------------

That is all for these swatches and I truly adore them all! They are all very beautiful and great collection pieces to have. 

You can find these on Pretty Woman's Website also in Rite Aid, Walmart, or Party City stores.

Stay tuned for another blog post soon of some of their nail care products.

Supernatural Lacquer Reviews

Good Evening!😘

You already probably know what this post is about. >.<

Well.. More swatches/reviews being posted on here because of me wanting to clean up my Instagram. I'm sorry. 

These swatches/pictures are back from October 24,2015. That's a long time ago!

Naked Nails

Yes my nails are a little stained. Yellow staining is from painting my nails every day or two days. No my nails don't need a break they are completely strong and healthy. Darker staining is from when I was dying my step sisters hair. 😬

Anyway.. Guys this cuticle oil is heaven in a little bottle.  I have the scent "Pumpkin Apple Pie" from Supernatural Lacquer  and oh my gosh it smells so good!😍❤ It doesn't leave a really strong smell behind that hurts your nose like some other cuticle oils but just the perfect amount.👌🏼 My cuticles and surrounding skin by my nails are so soft to the touch. This bottle is a 10ml roller ball so it has extremely easy application! Amazing price for this little guy because I've used it about 10 times and the bottle looks untouched! Stefanie sure knows what she's doing❤️

Swatch of this gorgeous nude holo with green & pink specks called "Shapeshifter".😍😍

This polish is absolutely perfect! This went on really smooth, easy, and NO streaks. Dries fairly quick and shiny!

This is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.✨

*Picture taken with natural sunlight*

Close up of "Shapeshifter".😍

I wanted to show a close up since you can see the specks of pink & green better than just a picture!😊

*Picture taken in direct sunlight*

"We Kill The Sparkly Ones For Free"

This is a holo glitter must have!✨

I put one coat over Kleancolor "Pastel Teal", no topcoat. WKTSOFF goes on smooth and perfect. All the glitter distributes onto the nail evenly and doesn't bunch up like some glitter polishes. Doesn't leave streaks on nail, and dries with a shiny finish. I promise you will move your fingers around all over the place and just watch the holo glitter do its thang.😍✨

Next up is "Grace".

Grace is a beautiful holo topcoat. This went on smooth, even, and no streaks. Pictured is 1 coat of Grace over Salon Perfect "Fired Up Fuchsia". I've always wanted the SP color to be a holo and Grace has let me make that possible! This has a shiny finish and of course that gorgeous holo! I'm ready to find out what other colors from my collection will look good with this topcoat. 😍✨

"We Kill The Sparkly Ones For Free (Silver)".

It's hard to tell which one I like more because they are both gorgeous in their own ways. 😍

Pictured is 1 coat over Essie "Bikini So Teeny", no topcoat. ✨

This glitter topper is exactly like the gold. Both holo glitters, no streaks, smooth, easy to apply and shiny finish. Just absolute perfection!✨ Only thing I noticed is my silver bottle gave me a lot more glitter in 1 coat than the gold but there's nothing wrong with that. Just extra holo goodness 😜

*Picture taken in sunlight for visible sparkles*

Lastly, I would like to note that all Supernatural Lacquer are 5 FREE polishes!! I forgot to mention that in last few swatches.
