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!
