Glam Polish Nicest Kids in Town

Hello! Today I have another polish from the Hairspray collection by Glam Polish. This is Nicest Kids in Town. 

Nicest Kids in Town is an emerald green holo filled with turquoise and green glass flecks.

It's so pretty! I love green holos almost as much as I love red holos and this one is a perfect green. Emerald is my favourite type green. 

This polish is a little bit camera shy. It's more holographic in real life but my camera couldn't capture it properly.

The formula was very good. Two coats gave full coverage and it dried quickly. The finish becomes shiny but top coat really brings out the glass flecks.  The holo effect isn't affected by top coat.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Nicest Kids in Town and one coat of Pretty Setious Crystal Coat.  

Colors by Llarowe Shot Through the Heart

 Hello! I hope your weekend so far is lovely! Today I'll show you. Colors by Llarowe Shot Through the Heart that is part of the newly released Valentine's Trio.

Shot Through The Heart is a cherry red packed with golden shimmer that gives it an orange glow. It's beautiful. It's so sparkle and shiny. It's not a foil, but the finish looks a little like it. 

What I really like about it is that the colour isn't a typical Valentine's colour. 

These pictures are taken in indirect sunlight to show off both the pretty cherry red base and the golden shimmer. The polish looks more orange in direct sunlight.

The formula is good. It was a little too thick for my taste but I'm going to thin it with a drop of thinner and it'll be perfect. It was still easy to apply though. Two thin coats give full coverage but if you do thicker coats it'll probably be enough with just one coat. It dries quickly and the finish becomes semi-matte so to get that super glossy finish you need too coat.

Glam Polish Gradient

Hi lovelies! Today I'll show you another gradient I did using the dry brush technique. The polishes I've used are Glam Polish Can I Love You?, Glam Polish Sweet Heart and Glam Polish Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo! All three of them are favourites of mine. For those wondering, I  have prepared a post for the Mei Mei Signatures Valentines Duo, so I won't be reviewing them now.

I've wanted to do a pastel gradient for so long now, but I just haven't come around to do it until now. Can I Love You? and Sweet Heart are both holographic so the gradient I super sparkly in the sun. These pictures are however taken in indirect sunlight to show of all the pretty colours. 

I'm so pleased with how this mani turned out. The colours are so pretty and the glitter, in my opinion, looks great over them. 

Colors by Llarowe Oh Holy Night

Hello darlings!

Today I'm finally going to show you what I wore on my nails during Christmas! Better late than never, right? My Christmas mani was Colors by Llarowe Oh Holy Night. 

Oh Holy Night is silver polish with a strong holographic effect and lots of gold shimmer that gives it a warm pale golden glow. 

It's absolutely stunning! Breathtaking! I've worn this as a full mani about five times. It's one of my favourites and I definitely need a back up of it. It's neautral, elegant and the crazy strong holo gives it an edgier look despite being such a mute colour. 

The formula is amazing. Colors by Llarowe uses uncut suspension base so sometimes the formula is on the thicker side but this one is perfect. It's neither thick or thin and it applies like butter. Two coats gave me full coverage. It dries quickly and the finish becomes shiny. The holographic effect isn't affected by TC.

ILNP Reminisce

Hello!
It's Green Wednesday and I'll show you ILNP Reminisce. This is another polish I got from my lovely Birthday Polish group.

Reminisce is a multichromatic polish that shifts from green to blue and even purple in extreme angles. It's gorgeous. I love multichromes and ILNP has some of the best ones around.
This is alittle brush stroke-y, but it doesn't bother me. I really like the green base, it's so intense and the blue shift is so pretty.

The formula is good. It's a little sheer but three coats give full coverage. I think you could get away with one coat if you layer it over a black creme. It dries quickly and the finish becomes shiny.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of ILNP Reminisce and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Glam Polish Timeless to Me

Hi darlings!

I took the weekend off from the blog and went skiing for the first time in seven years! It was so much fun. Today I'm back with  Glam Polish Timeless to Me from the  new collection Hairspray. 

Timeless to Me is a ruby red holo with peach and pink glassflecks. It's gorgeous! It appears a little more pink in some lightings than it actually is because of the glassflecks, but they add lots of shimmer and depth to an already beautiful polish. 

This is so sexy and it really is timeless. I love reds and I love red holos even more. Add a little extra sparkle and I'm head over heels. This is a favourite of mine from the collection. 

The formula is impeccable. It's thin but not runny and the coverage is great. I only needed to thin coats tog et full coverage. It dries quickly and the finish becmoes sparkly and shiny. The holo isn't affect by TC.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish TImeless to Me and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. The base coat I've used is Pretty Serious Rock On. 

Celestial Cosmetics Oberon

Hi sweeties!

Today I'd like to show you Celestial Cosmetics Oberon that I got as a birthday gift. I'm in this lovely Birthday Polish Facebook group with 23 other girls. We're a really close-knit group and I love them all.

Oberon is a lime green with a beautiful holographic effect. This is perfect for spring. It's so pretty.
I haven't worn lime green in months now and I've almost forgot how much I love the colour.
This one is bright and absolutely gorgeous. It really brightens up the cold, dark winter days. I love wearing bright colours and neons on day when the winter almost feels unbearable and I can't wait for it to be over. It's so energizing to wear a happy colour like this one.

The formula was amazing. It's creamy and super easy to apply. Two coats gave full coverage. It dries quickly and the finish becomes shiny and super holographic. The holo isn't dulled by top coat.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Celestial Cosmetics Oberon and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. The base coat I've used is Pretty Serious Rock On. 

Colors by Llarowe Temptation

Hi guys!

Today I have another polish to show you from the New Year, New CbL Collection. This one is called Temptation. 

Temptation is a deep red with pink and purple undertones, almost a magenta. It has a beautiful holographic effect and some golden shimmer. It's absolutely, breathtakingly stunning! Leah Ann truly hot out of the park with this one. It's so deep and the golden shimmer makes it glow. I love the colour! I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I wore this. 

The formula is good. Two coats gave full coverage. You'll probably need three of your nails are a long. I try to keep mine short these days due to the cold weather. My nails have suffered this winter and are a little bit brittle. No major breakage yet, and I'd like to avoid it from happening. 

Anyway, the finish becomes shiny and the holo isn't affected by TC.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Colors by Llarowe Temptaion and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Cost.

Sea Shell Mani

Born Pretty Store Shell Studs were sent to me for my honest review.

Hello!
Today I have a quick nail art to show you. I had to do another dry brush mani after I did one the other day. I've completeley forgot how fun they are to do. I did a dry brush gradient with a few CbL's and thought it was a great time to show you some sea shell nail studs I got from Born Pretty Store to review.

I used the dry brush technique to do the gradient. You swipe off most of the polish from the brush and applies the minimal amount that is left on to your nail. You repeat this until the wanted coverage is reached. I had to reapeat it three times with ach colour. The polishes I've used are Color's by Llarowe Refresh...ing!, Colors by Llarowe Young Turks and Colors by Llarowe Seahawks Lime. The top coats used are Pretty Serious Crystal Coat and Pretty Serious Aqua Coat. 

I added the sea shells stud for some extra sparkle. They were super easy to apply with a tweezer. they're fairly flat so they did work alright on my very curved nails. They did stick out a little on the edges, but two thick coats of top coat helped to smooth it out.
I really like te sea shells, they're beautiful, but they do work better for nails that aren't as curved as mine. They can also be reused as long as you're careful when taking them off.
