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!

GLOSSome Polish Swatch & Review!

Hello My Sweets and Happy Sunday! The weekend seemed to fly by, I may be posting on and off for the next week or so, I'm dealing with some personal issues and I'm having a hard time making it to the computer today.



Today I have for you a new indie brand. My friend Angela has started up GLOSSome polish and let me tell you I am LOVING these. The first one I am showing you is Neon Nation.



Neon Nation is a light pink base full of bright pink, purple, green glitters along with some neon pink hearts to fill in the mix!



The formula on this was absolutely incredible, especially for an indie. It was almost flawless, with most of my indies I found myself adding thinner to them to make them more usable. I tried this without to test the formula, and no thinner needed! The glitters came out in abundance! I used 2 coats of Neon Nation over two coats of Orly - Lollipop.



I love the labels, I'm a big sucker for anything homemade. I feel like a lot of indies are going to the professional labels (which believe me look great also) but I do love that extra touch.



Check out all of those neon glitters! I love that this is in a pink base, I think it gives it a lot of depth!



Next up, we have Pop Rock.



Pop Rock is a milky nude base, with purple and yellow hexes, and matching micro glitters! This is SO gorgeous, in real life it has so much more character.



I used 3 coats of this with no undies, with this one you definitely want to wait for coats to dry completely or you could get a little bit of dragging, the outcome was SO worth it.



You can find GLOSSome Polish on etsy, or you can follow her on facebook or instagram @glossomepolish. Angela is one of the sweetest people I've met and her customer service is outstanding. She kept in contact with me (even before she started selling!) Her polishes are beautiful and I see big things for her in the future.



What do you think of GLOSSome Polish? Do you have a favorite? They both carry a special place in my polish heart.

Until Next Time!

Polish Addict- 80's Baby

Hello & Happy Sunday! The weekend went by far too quickly. Anybody do anything fun? I spent time with the boys and that is good enough for me<3 Today I am going to be showing you a pretty amazing polish made by my friend Laura at Polish Addict.



80's baby is an insanely packed glitter topper full of "matte neon glitters in various shapes and sizes"



This had a GREAT formula, I was so impressed, I had to do no digging or fishing for glitters and had smooth coats unlike a lot of other glitter tops I've used.



Laura is such a sweetheart, and I've had great joy in getting to know her and I just recently purchased lots of goodies from her shop, including some FAB smelling cuticle oil, cucumber melon is the bomb.com.



I layered two coats of 80's baby over two coats of China Glaze- Egniting Love. PERFECT match for eachother. The orange neon in EL didn't let the orange glitters in 80's baby a chance to play, but they were definitely there in full!



I just spoke with Laura a couple of days ago and she has something really awesome coming to her shop that I am really excited for! So make sure to keep in touch with her on facebook along with her IG @polish_addict_34 and also my facebook and IG @glitznglammerxx to keep updated on what's coming!



Make sure to check out Laura's shop as well, she just listed some of her spring collection and NEW CUTICLE OILS:)

Until Next Time!
