Polish Addict - In Bloom and Anna's Garden

Hello Everyone!!  I hope you all are having a great week!  Luckily, this week has gone by pretty fast for me!  Since last weekend was so busy, hopefully this one will be lots of swatching! ;-)

Today I have two Polish Addict polishes that I was sent for review!  Both have flower glitter and are great for spring!

Laura and Crystal, the owners, have a shop at www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com, however the shop is currently closed in order to restock and will reopen in a couple days! 
Make sure you check back, because they have some beautiful creations available!!

This is In Bloom!

For In Bloom, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I love love love the shade of this pale teal along with the green glitters, plus the pops of purple, white, and pink!  There are squares, hexes, stars, bar (very slight curling, middle finger), and flowers!! Such a beautiful mix!



This is Anna's Garden.


I started with 2 coats of Cult Nails Feel Me Up.


I then applied 1 coat of Anna's Garden along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


What a gorgeous glitter bomb!  And with the yellow, it's a perfect pair in my opinion!  The base of Anna's Garden is slightly tinted a light orange jelly color.  I love all the flowers in this too!  There are multiple colors of them, as you can see on the nails, of pink, yellow, and red.  Also there are blue, green, white, yellow/gold, and purple glitters all mixed through. 


The base doesn't look orange, but it was over paper that it tried the orange-ish color!  I was going to try this over white, which I think would be really pretty too!  There are a few gold bar glitters that I noticed were curling, but nothing that took away from the mani!  With all the glitter, it's not too noticeable. 


Close up!

Different Dimension - Spam-a-thon!!

Hello Everyone!!! I'm so excited to share some beauties by Different Dimension!!  I always love what Missi, the owner of Different Dimension, comes up with!!  I was so excited to receive these and have more for another post later!  So many pretties!!!

Lots of pictures to show these beauties off!! I thought the formula was great for all of them and the holos were drool-worthy!!!  Let's get started with Irish You Well!


This is two coats of Irish You Well with Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails.


I love the milky white base with the golds and greens!!  Plus the gold circle glitter!!



Close up!


Next, we have Whatever.


This is 2 coats of Whatever with Wicked Fast top coat.  Love this in the bright sun!


But in the shade, it looks so cool too!!  It reminds me of the Zoya Aurora & Storm holos, but such a vibrant neon purple!! LOVE it!!  I think the color is pretty accurate for sun/shade.


This is in the light box.



Close up in the sun!


I then added Yours, Mine, & Flowers!


This is 1 coat of Yours, Mine, & Flowers over Whatever, topped with Wicked Fast.


Loving the flowers with the pastel glitters!  But I am just SO in love with the iridescent glitters too!  When you spin the bottle, you just see little flashes of blue!  You can see a few in the bottle.



Close up!  See the blue glitters?!  Love this mix!


Next we have Wide Awake!


Wide Awake is shown here with two coats and topped with Wicked Fast.


Isn't this one amazing!?  The bottle almost looks like silver with a pink sheen, but in the sun, the holo comes out!!  It is such a gorgeous light pink/rose color!


Here is the shade, isn't that gorgeous too!?


Here is in my light box.


And a close up in the sun!


Next, we have Stronger.


I used 2 coats of Stronger with Wicked Fast top coat.


This is a similar style as Wide Awake, but blue!


Here is Stronger in the shade.


And in my light box!  This also has a flash of purple to it!  Isn't that stunning?!  It's better in person!


Close up in the sun!


Last, but DEFINITELY not least...Black Dahlia.


Ok, don't drool all over the keyboard ;-)  This is 2 coats of Black Dahlia with Wicked Fast top coat. 


Yum!  It's holo and grey with a purple flash, along with holographic glitters!  Definitely amazing!  I can hardly capture all the beauty, but here is a blurred picture below!


And in the shade!  LOVE!


Here is a picture in my light box!

Pretty & Polished - Sunday Best & Speckled and Freckled

Hi Everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!!! :-)  Did anyone drink any green beer!?? lol

Today I have two gorgeous polishes sent to me to review from Pretty & Polished!!  They are perfect for Easter!!
 
You can purchase Pretty & Polished on Etsy or Pretty & Polished on My Shopify. You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished - Facebook, on Twitter @prettynpolish, on Instagram @prettyandpolishd and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/. I highly recommend taking a look around, as Pretty & Polished always has awesome creations and an amazing formula!
 
Up first, we have Sunday Best over Cult Nails Tempest!


I used 2 coats of Cult Nails Tempest and 1 coat of Sunday Best.  The tiny glitters look white in the bottle, but for some reason over Tempest, it makes them have a slight light blue tint!  I loved the combo though!!


Described by Chels: Sunday Best is a lovely Springy mix in a clear as glass top coat. You will find different shapes, sizes and colors in this polish that are reminiscent of the Spring dresses you'll see when people are wearing their Easter Sunday Best!


I think the white really shows off the purple flowers!  And I love this mix of glitter!


Close up!

I also tried Sunday Best over Pretty & Polished Delightful Daisy!

I used three thin coats of Delightful Daisy and 1 coat of Sunday Best with Wicked Fast top coat.


The yellow makes this look really Springy!!  


The glitters almost remind me as satin!  They are very pretty and I like the shimmer in Delightful Daisy with them!


Close up!


Next we have Speckled and Freckled!


For this mani, I used 2 coats along with Wicked Fast top coat.



Description by Chels:  Speckled and Freckled is an amazing mix of Spring colors released just in time for Easter! The idea behind Speckled and Freckled was to have something that will make your nails look like speckled malted milk eggs!


I do want to eat my fingers with this on! LOL but it is So pretty!  I love the bright white with the bold blue, purple, pink and green!  Here is a bottle shot!
