Pretty & Polished day 5, Swing!

Hey guys! Day 5, as in the last day of my Pretty & Polished posts *womp womp* :( Today's post is about Swing, an oh my gosh I have have have to have you polish. For my newer readers, my favorite color is pink, so there is NO such thing as too much of it for me. So when Sarah from Chalkboard Nails posted about Swing I was like "gahhhhh!!!"

Now it's supposed to be a red jelly, but it's never really looked red to me, I see it as a hot pink, maybe just because my eyes aren't huge fans of red? Hm...yea no idea. But none the less this is a gorgeous polish!  It's a jelly base, which means different depths of glitter, which is oh so lovely! I'm going to admit I had an issue getting the bigger glitters out BUT and I say that with caps, it was all my fault! I left this polish in the "I need to be added to your stash list but you just wait too long so you put me in here with the others that need to be on the list too" basket. It was on it's side so all the huge lovely hex glitters were like, we are just gonna take a nap over here on the side, k? And I was NOT patient enough to wait until the morning to wear this beauty!

So after my rambling, we had a red jelly base that looks hot pink to me, it has white, silver and black glitters in different sizes through out. I used two coats and a top coat and I am seriously in love. I do think this is my favorite of the polishes I own of Chelsea's this far.



What do you guys think? Which one of the 5 I've posted was your favorite?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Pretty & Polished day 3, Elvis's Pink Cadillac!

Hey guys, day 3 here we go! Today we have Elvis's Pink Cadillac. Here's a picture of the real deal for those of you that are curious ;)

This polish isn't like anything else I've seen, just like all of the polishes Chelsea over at Pretty & Polished makes. It't a pale pink with micro black glitter, and black hex glitter as well. I liked it in the bottle but was afraid the pink would wash me out since I'm so pale! But I was super happy to see it worked well with me :D

This is two coats, although one seemed to do the trick I wanted to make sure I was good to go coverage wise!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Pretty & Polished day 2, Sand Art!

Hey guys! Day 2 of Pretty & Polished polishes, and today we have Sand Art. So I realize some of you may have had deprived childhoods and not even know what sand art is, so I'll link you to give you an idea! Most of the time it's stuff like this. Growing up at the beach I'm very familiar with it, so seeing Chelsea's polish I just had to have it!

Because this polish is jam-packed with micro matte glitters it is very thick, I don't mind it because I love the outcome, but I know some people are picky about that. In order to get a full coverage with what I saw as no bare spots I used three coats, and a top coat. Let me tell you it took forever to dry and I had some dents in them as well, whoops.

So here's what you came for!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Pretty & Polished indie week! Day 1 Party on my Yacht!

Hey guys! I know I know, I've been MIA, and no real reason why, just been busy. BUT as an I'm sorry I'm doing 5 days of Pretty & Polished polishes! Some of you know of Chelsea already, but if you don't make sure to check out her blog and Etsy page!

I was lucky enough to get in on a recent pre-sale, and I ordered 5 polishes, I wanted more but didn't think the old man would be too happy with me ;)

Day one is starting with Party on my Yacht. This is two coats and a top coat. It's a white base with small purple, green and gold glitters, right up the New Orleans alley! It went on easy in the two coats, but was a HUGE pita to get off just like any other glitter is, but since I have acrylic overlays now I can't use acetone *womp womp* yep I'm over it now ;)

 Onto the pics!

Until next time! happy painting!
