Born Pretty Store Feather Nail Polish Swatch and Review

Good afternoon!

If you are into glitter polish at all, then I think you will like this post! Born Pretty has their own take on the microbar glitter trend with 8 versions of the matte bar, some combined with metallic glitters. I haven't seen anything like these anywhere else yet and I think they are my favorites so far!

Lots of pics, so get comfy and enjoy!

As with most polishes Born Pretty carries, these are numbered not named. Also, they are numbered on the site for checkout purposes but come with different numbers on the bottles. For reference, I will use the numbers listed on their site.

#6 has pastel blue and white micro bars as well as small blue hex glitters. This is one coat over Sally Hansen Triple Shine Oyster Bar.

#3 has white microbars mixed with blue and purple holo hex glitters. This is one coat over Orly Frisky.

#1 has white and aqua microbars with light green holo metallic glitters. This is one coat over China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle.

#7 has white microbars and black hex glitters. This is one coat over LCN Some Like It Hot.

#5 has pink and white micro bars with pink, red and purple holo hex glitters. One coat over Sation Super Nail-tural Powers.

#2 is silver holo micro bars. One coat layered over Dr.'s Remedy Passion Purple.

#8 has purple and white micro bars with blue and purple holo hex glitters. This is one coat over Essie Dive Bar.

#4 has orange and white micro bars with red hex glitters. This is one coat over Wet n Wild Inkwell.

 Fun collection, right?! The formula is really good for all of these. The glitter wasn't too sparse and spread pretty evenly. I can see these needing a bit of thinner over time, though.

You can find these glitters *here* for $4.99! Get an extra 10% off by using my code AMG10.

Sally Hansen Triple Shine Swatches and Review

*press sample*

Hey guys!

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I spent a good part of mine reorganizing my makeup and nail polish. I'm probably going to have some additions to my blog sale sooner than later!

Today I am showing you swatches of a few polishes from the newest line from Sally Hansen called Triple Shine. Below is the new bottle shape. The caps pop off to reveal one that's easier to use for application. The top cap rattles around a bit when they are attached which makes it seem a little cheap. However, the brush is very similar to the Insta-Dri brush (which I know some people don't like, but I am a huge fan), but a bit smaller. Makes it very easy to paint on a coat in one stroke.

Ok! On to the swatches...

This is Fanta-sea in 2 coats layered over Zoya Neely. This is a versatile topper and it has a nice delicate feel to it as well. 

Oyster Bar is a metallic, slightly frosty silver. I did 3 thin coats for coverage. The thinner the coats, the less brush-strokey the finish will be.

Next up, Sparks Fly. This is 2 coats over Sation Cast a Spill On You. The base is a sheer blue that makes this better as a topper. I like the big glitters in here because it adds to the bling factor!

And finally we have Twinkled Pink over Zoya Areej. This is 2 coats. With it's iridescent glitters, I bet this would also look good over black.

I've seen the Triple Shine line popping up in Walgreens stores in my area. There is a wide selection with 29 colors in various finishes to choose from.

Have you tried any Triple Shine polishes yet? Any favorites?

Nabi Holo Dark Purple + Nail Art

Good morning!

There was recently some buzz in a polish group I am in about these holo polishes from Nabi. I was able to get 6 for about $20 with free shipping on Ebay. Good deal, I think! While these aren't linear, they are super sparkly and definitely shine in the sunlight.

This is Dark Purple in indirect sunlight. Second photo is with flash.

To add a little something to this mani, I scotch taped off the corners and painted China Glaze Sweet Hook with Sation Fake It Till You Make It on top. Love this glitter topper!

If you want to get your hands on some of these Nabi holos *here* is the link to the eBay seller I got mine from. There are other options to get more or less polishes in different listings.

What do you think of this holo from Nabi?

My Birthday Nails: A Dotticure!

Good morning!

Today is my birthday and I did some simple but fun nail art to celebrate. I chose to use my 2 favorite colors in various shades (mint and pink) for the dots. I used China Glaze Hang Ten-toes, LCN I Love Mint, Sation Plenty of Frogs, and OPI PInk Friday. On top of a simple white base there is one coat of It's All About the Glam from NOPI's Kardashian collection to add a little shimmer. These are such fun nails, perfect for a birthday!

Today is going to be mostly low key, but my husband and I have planned a quick trip to Atlanta next weekend to do a little birthday shopping and get a break from life. I am SO excited!

Sation Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Hi guys!

Today I get to share with you a brand that is new to me but I am sure most of you have heard of it. That  brand is Sation Nail Lacquer. I was super impressed by these. Let's get a little more detailed, shall we?

First up is Front Row Flasher. This is pretty much one coat and has a pretty subtle shimmer. It's a little more orange toned than this picture shows. 

 I layered I Love Miss-Self over Front Row Flasher. One coat is all this took to cover! This is one packed glitter.

I was surprised at how totally gorgeous RV There Yet? turned out to be. Once again, one coat gets the job done.

RV There Yet? got topped off with Twinkle, Twinkle Big Star. A blingy glitter, also packed with a creative assortment of sizes and colors.

3 Free-dom is a lovely light grey jelly! It took 3-4 coats for full coverage, as is expected with this type of finish.

3 Freedom got topped off with Fake It Till You Make It. One coat was all this loaded glitter needed! I am loving the tiny bar glitters...so fun!

Here's a quick recap:

Overall, I am very impressed with Sation's polish. The bottles are large and sturdy, definitely not cheap. The brush is wide- sort of similar to OPI. And the formula and selection of shades/finishes is pretty great too!

Do you own any polish from Sation? Which ones stand out to you from this group?
