Glam Polish No Lei-Overs! (LE) Swatches & Review

Hi darlings!

Today I want to show you Glam Polish No Lei-Overs! Collection. It's a gorgeous  six piece collection inspired by the  Hawaiian islands. And yes, it really makes you think of beaches, coconut drinks and palm trees in the sun.

There are four glitters and two holos in this collection. The formulas of all of them are great. The glitters are thick but not too thick and easy to apply. The holos go on so smoothly and levels out perfectly.

I really wish I was at a beach in a tropical paradise. Here in Sweden it seems like fall is already on its way. It's already starting to get colder and darker outside.

Hawaii Kai

Hawaii Kai is a turquoise leaning teal base with blue, turquoise, teal and bright green glitter. This is the Ocean in a bottle. It's absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorites in the collection.
Two coats and top coat.

Lanikai Dreaming

Lanikai Dreaming is pale gold holo with lots and lots of matte pink and white glitter. It's fun, flirty and feminine. Since the base is so neutral this is perfect for both work and a friday night out. The base tones it down while still being really glittery and pretty. The only prolem I had with this one is that even after two coats of top coat the finish was slightly textured.

Hanalei Sunset

Hanalei Sunset is a gorgeous blurple jelly with blue, pink and purple prismatic glitter. It has so much depth. It was super hard to photograph though. This is one of those polishes you really have to see for yourself.

Lei'd in Lahaina

Lei'd in Lahaina is a magenta holo with magenta, pink,  white and even som copper glitter. It sparkles like crazy! Even though there's so much glitter in it one coat of top coat does the trick and makes the finish shiny and smooth.

Hibiscus Hideaway

Hibiscus Hideaway is an orange toned red holo. In some lightings it leans more orange and in other more red. In some it even leans pinkish red. This is my favourite from the collection. I'm a sucker for vibrant reds and this one is perfection. The holo is strong and adds depth to the aready beautiful colour of the base. And, it doesn't stain (!!!) even though it's so pigmented.

One coat and top coat.

Waikiki Wahine

Waikiki Wahine is a berry pink holo with blue and purple shimmer in it. This is very pretty, but the one I liked the least in the collection. Don't got me wrong, I really like it, it's just that I like the others more.

Green and Gold

I'm a sucker for glitter gradient. I wanted to do a Christmas gradient now that the Holidays are just around the corner. Green and gold are perfect colours for that.

The polishes I've used are OPI Christmas Gone Plaid and Smitten Polish Cecil the Lion. Christmas Gone Plaid is one of my favourite greens from OPI and Cecil the Lion is the perfect golden gold, prismatic glitter.

I love the result of this mani.

ILNP I See You

Hi darlings!

Today I'll show you ILNP I See You from the summer collection.

I See You is a pale gold holo with tiny gold prismatic glitter. It's super classy and so pretty. It feels really luxurious. The combination of holo and prismatic glitter makes the polish really sparkly. This is definitely one of my favourite gold polishes. I like that it's so pale and not that yellow type of gold colour.

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is great. It was really sheer at the first coat, but two coats gave full coverage. It dries completely smooth and shiny despite the micro glitter.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of ILNP I See You and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.  

Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy

Hi guys!

This is another post that I was supposed to publish durig Christmas. That never happened so I'll just post it now instead. This is Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy. 

Maple Sugar Candy has a translucent base packed with caramel golden prismatic micro glitters. it's beautiful. I like the colour, it's very unique.  I have no other gold polish like it in my collection.
It's supersparkly. I wore it a lot during the Holiday season. I probably won't wear it during the summer since colour for me is very autumn-y.

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is great. Three thin coats give ful coverage. It dries quickly but the finish becomes slightly textured. top coat makes the finish shiny and smooth.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Glam Polish Welcome to the 60's

Hi!

I finally turned in the last essay of the term. Now I'm free from uni for a little more than a week before I start my summer job.
I feel like celebrating so here's a glitter bomb! This is Glam Polish Welcome to the 60's from the Hairspray Collection. 

Welcome to the 60's is really complex. It's a transparaent base with prismatic gold micro glitter, pink prismatic micro glitter and matte white micro glitter. It's so sparkly! Probably one of the sparkliest polishes I own. Absolutely beautiful! I love how the white matte glitter accentuates the all the sparkly. They're a nice surprise that make this polish unique.

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

Yep, I had to stamp it. I used Mentality Black Opaque and the Creative Shop Stamper. The pattern is from Moyou London Sailor Collection Plate 05. 

The formula is great! Two coats gave full coverage. It dries to a slightly textured finish so if you want it cmpletely smooth, extra sparkly and glossy one coat of top coat will do.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Welcome to the 60's and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Skittlette

Hi guys!

I'll start my new internship tomorrow, so for obvious reasons I have to have amazing nails tomorrow. I love how this skittlette turned out. I've worn a lot of colour on my nails the past few weeks so I wanted something a little more neutral but still fun.

The polishes I've used for this manicure are OPI Lady in Black, OPI You're So Vain-illa, Cirque Sample and Mentality Black Opaque.
I painted my thumb, middle and ring finger with OPI You're So Vain-illa. I then stamped my thumb and ring finger nails with Mentality Black Opaque using the Creative Shop Stamper and a stamping plate from Konad. I added two coats of Cirque Sample, a gorgeous pae gold glitter from one of International Playground's Cirque sample sales, on my middle finger nail. I painted two coats of OPI Lady in Black on my index and pinky.

 

Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights

It's Holo Friday! I have something super sparkly for you today, Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights.

Flashing Lights is a mix of ulta fine micro glitters and more "regular" sized gloden holographic glitter in a clear base. It's amazing and super sparkly. Probably one of the most intense glitter polishes I've ever seen. My camera totally freaked out and it's much more sparkly in real life than in my pictures. It's crazy! I'm definitely going to wear this on New Years. 

The formula was good. A little thick but it's a glitter after all. Applications was easy. it covered in two coats. I'm so glad this contains two types of glitter. The micro glitters give coverage and the bigger gitter just adds depth. It dries fairly textured. Two coats of top coat are needed to make the finish shiny and smooth.
What you see in the pictures are two coats of Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights and two coats of Pretty Serious Aqua Coat.
