Sweet Heart Polish Swatches and Review

**Press Sample**

Hello and Happy Hump Day Friends!!! I hope everyone's week is going swell, my week has actually been pretty relaxing! Today I have some beautiful polishes to show you by Sweet Heart Polish! So let's get right into it:)

First up, we have Mermaid's Magic. This is a beautiful "green/blue, slightly holographic shifting polish that shimmers almost teal in the sun, with large turquoise holographic dots, sapphire squares, teal circles, and blue square glitter."

This polish is extremely sheer but buildable. I used three thin coats to achieve the opacity you see. I really love the way it looks on it's own. I topped it with HK Girl Topcoat.

This is so beautiful, and really does remind me of the scales that would be on a mermaid's tail. The shift in this is amazing. I couldn't stop staring at it.

Next up, is Joseph from the Superfine! Collection.

Joseph is "a periwinkle micro glitter with a dash of holographic glitter thrown in." I used two coats for FULL opacity. This baby is jampacked full of glitter. I topped it with HK Girl Topcoat.

This is easily my favorite of the three polishes I was sent. I couldn't believe the intenseness, yes I made that up, of the glitter. It was like a fairy farted on my fingers and left me with nothing but goodness.

I need to have the rest of this collection in my stash, especially if they all have the same intensity as Joseph.

Lastly, is He Loves Me..

He Loves Me.. is " a mix of holographic glitter in all shapes and sizes with cotton candy pink hexes and matte pink hearts in a clear suspension base."

This is again, another winner in my book. I'm not a *huge* fan of glitter toppers, as I prefer crellys. But with this topper there are endless possibilities. I used two coats over one coat of Sinful Colors- White on White. I didn't do any placement or fishing for glitters, what you see is what you get! Topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

This was originally released as part of their Valentine's Day Collection but became a core polish, and I am so glad it did. I love the hearts, and especially the circle glitters!

What do you think of these Sweet Heart Polish's? Personally, I'm in love with every single one and I can't wait to get more. My favorite? Definitely Joseph. But all of them are beautiful in their own way.

You can purchase Sweet Heart Polish on etsy here, and stay up to date with releases on facebook as well as instagram @sweet_heart_polish.

Lastly, what is really important to me about this indie company is that from every bottle of polish you purchase, $1 goes to an autism charity. With Isaac in the works of being diagnosed as autistic, this means the world to me.

Until Next Time!

Zoya Awaken and Monet Collection Swatch and Review

**Press Sample**
Hello Lovelies! Happy Tuesday, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today I've got for you, swatches and my review of the new Zoya Awaken Collection with the new Monet topper.

First up, is Cole. Cole is described as a "full-coverage peach whisper cream." I used 3 thin coats for my swatch here. The formula was a little streaky but the third coat evened it out perfectly. My camera had a hard time picking up the true color of this polish but with a tad bit of editing my photo is pretty true to the color it comes out on the nail. Topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

Next up, we have Rebel. Rebel is described as "full-coverage blue sky metallic with a silver shimmer." I don't see a lot of silver shimmer in the bottle, I pick up a lot of pink and green shimmer as you can see in the photos.

I used two coats of Rebel topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

Next up is Hudson. Hudson is described as "a full-coverage, purple orchid metallic with a silver shimmer." Again, the shimmer I pick up is pink and green. I used two coats of Hudson topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

Next up is Brooklyn. Brooklyn is described as "full-coverage, white-gold shimmer metallic." Oh man, this polish was less than easy to use. The color was extremely streaky and the metallic is more of a frost.

For Brooklyn I used 2 coats topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

Next up is Dillon. Dillon is described as "a full-coverage, green mint metallic with a silver shimmer." Once again, I picked up pink and green shimmer in my swatches.

I used 2 coats of Dillon topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

Next up, we have Dot. Dot is best described as "a full-coverage pink petal cream." I love this pink, it's definitely a great pallet cleanser.

I used three thin coats of Dot topped with HK Girl Topcoat. This one, like Cole, was streaky but evened out after the third coat.

Lastly, we have Monet. Monet is best described as "a multi-colored, cellophane holographic special effect topper."

I used one coat of Monet over Hudson. I love the effect this had. I tried it over several of the polishes but I loved the way it looked over Hudson best.

Overall, I absolutely adore this collection. The colors are perfect for spring, and makes me wish I lived somewhere other than Arizona, since most of the time we go straight from Winter to Summer ;). The ones I loved most were definitely the shimmers, because of how pretty they were and how easily applied. My favorite of the entire collection is Rebel, because it is so unlike anything I have in my collection.

You can purchase the Awaken collection from Zoya here, each bottle retails for $9 and Monet retails for $10.

Do you have a favorite of the collection or be purchasing any of these colors?

Until Next Time!

Sincerely Polish Neon Jellie Collection Swatch and Review

*Nothing to Disclose* Hello and Happy Monday Friends!! It's been a little while since I've posted, I used to disclose what was going on with me and recently I was diagnosed (finally) and told I have Fibromyalgia. I have good and bad days and the last couple have weeks have not been the greatest for me. So I apologize but I have tons of great swatches and lots of new indie brands (to me) coming my way that I can't wait to show you.

Today I am showing you Sincerely Polish Neon Jellie Collection. When I saw swatches of these on instagram I knew I had to have them. The collection consists of 4 white jelly polishes with neon glitters throughout each in different shapes, sizes, and colors. I got the chance to purchase these before the release date from Karen, who couldn't have been a sweeter person. She kept me up to date with everything, including when her new caps and brushes arrived.

First, is Neontastic Love.

Neontastic Love is a white jellie base filled with neon pink glitters in small and large hexes as well as neon hearts. The formula on this was outstanding. I'm not a huge fan of jellie polishes because I don't like my tips to show, but these made my tips look GOOD.

For this swatch I used 3 coats topped with a thick coat of Seche Vite. Please excuse my nubbin of a pointer finger, I suffered a pretty good break when getting Carter out of his highchair and instead of cutting them all back I decided to let that one catch up.

The neon pink glitters were by far my favorite of all the glitters, I couldn't quit catch the real "neon" color but inside the white jellie they really do have a great "pop".

Next, we have Electric Love Crush.

Electric Love Crush is a white base jellie filled with neon pink hexes, squares, and hearts along with neon blue hexes and squares. Again, the formula is spectacular.

For this swatch, I used 3 thin coats with one thick coat of Seche Vite. I think of all of them I had the best glitter pay off with this one than the rest.

Next, is Digital Get Down.

Digital Get Down is a white jellie base filled with neon green and neon blue hexes in different sizes.

Anyone remember N'Sync's Digital Get Down, oh the days when Justin Timberlake's curly top. Mmmm..... Oh, wait, back to the polish. This one was named after N'Sync's song, because, let's face it, who WASN'T an N'Sync fan?

This is 3 thin coats of Digital Get Down followed by a thick coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

Lastly, we have Beyond Supernova. My favorite of the whole collection.

Beyond Supernova is a white jellie base filled with neon pink hexes and stars, along with neon green hexes in different sizes.

It's no secret that I love different shaped glitters, and Beyond Supernova fills that little spot in my heart that I have for them, being filled with the neon pink stars. I think this rounded out the collection perfectly. Once again, 3 thin coats followed by a thick coat of Seche Vite topcoat.


Overall, this collection was fantastic, down to the formulation, to the glitters, and even the white jellie base. I've never encountered such a great white jellie that gives me enough opacity that it makes me feel good about not wearing undies with it.

The entire Neon Jellie collection is now out for pre-order including mini's that can be found at Sincerely Polish and you can also follow them on facebook here for updates and extra photos.

Will you be purchasing any or all of this collection? I can honestly say I am SO happy with my purchase, and the customer service is incredible.

Until Next Time!

Zoya Magical Pixie Dust Collection Swatch and Review

*Press Sample* Hello and Happy Hump Day Friends! I've been away for a short break, my health has kind of been kicking me down lately but I'm not letting it stop me! I received the Zoya Magical Pixie Dust collection today, and couldn't wait to put them on! Let's get started shall we?

The Magical Pixie Dust Collection consists of three beautiful textured polishes packed with holographic glitter in three shades. I really hope that they deepen this line of polishes because HOLY MOLY, they are gorgeous.

The first polish I have to show you is Cosmo. This is described as "a silver crystal sparkle, textured PixieDust with mega hex iridescent particles."

I practically fainted putting these on today. This is a beautiful silver, with chunks of hex glitters making this unlike anything I have ever seen before.

This is two coats of Cosmo with only base coat underneath.

Next up in the collection we have, Lux.

Lux is described as "a rose quartz sparkle textured PixieDust with mega hex iridescent particles."

Again, Lux is unlike anything I've ever put on my nails.

This is two coats, with only topcoat underneath.

Lastly in the collection, we have Vega.

Vega is described as "blue opal sparkle, textured PixieDust with Mega Hex Iridescent Particles."

Vega comes out a little darker on the nail then it looks in the bottle.

Again, two easy coats with only base coat underneath.

When I first looked at these I thought that application was going to be a nightmare, with glitters packed into the base of different sizes and textures, there was bound to be something up with the formula right? WRONG. I was SO impressed with the formula of these, two EASY coats. Vega if I had been careful I would have been able to get a one coater.

Wearing these polishes made me have this feeling in my stomach, kind of like a first crush type of thing.

If there is anything making you doubt buying these, don't let it fool you. These are absolutely stunning in the bottle, on the nail, even when you run your finger over the nail after it's dried. Perfection is one thing Zoya is known for and they didn't fail me this time.

You can purchase the Zoya polishes here.

Which is your favorite from the collection? Will you be purchasing?

Until Next Time!
