Pretty and Polished Pool Party and a Party on my Yacht combo!



I hope everyone had a great weekend!!  I had a girlfriend over Saturday night and we painted nails!!  ;-)  I showed her how I do my tape mani, which there are pictures below of my mani!  Her nails will be on a post soon too!  I love girl time, especially with a glass of wine and manis!! ;-)

Today I want to show you Pool Party!!! This was a special polish that Chelsea listed on her shop Pretty & Polished.  I'm not sure if she'll have more, but hopefully if the demand is there, she can still get the supplies to make it!  I think if you love glitter, love blue, and love jelly polish - you need this!  Honestly, even if you don't, you probably need this color! ;-)  Pool Party applied perfectly!  The glitter just went in place and is layered perfectly through the blue base!  I used 3 coats for the pictures.  It dried very well though, so it was quick to paint on!  I used no top coat in the pictures!  The glitter is in bars, squares, different size hexagons - it really is a party!  And the blue is perfecly pool like.  Stunning polish!  So glad I could pick this one up!

Keep an eye out on Wednesday, April 4 for her shop to be restocked!! You can find that HERE!  Because of the base shortage, so does write a note about not being able to stock as much as she normally does.  I sincerely hope all the Indie Brands can find a way to keep their shops open by another supplier!



sunlight - look at that bottle!!!

 

 

 

 

And below is the tape mani I did.  Party on my Yacht was a favorite of my friend, Dolly, so I knew I had to show her it!  I went through looking t see what to pair it with.  I almost did a blue (which probably would have been extremely pretty too), but ended up seeing Orly Ancient Jade at the last second!  I couldn't have picked better!  I absolutely love how this turned out!  It is just so - Spring-like!  I used 2 coats of Orly Ancient Jade, then used Poshe to dry, and did 1 coat over of Party on my Yacht!!  Finished up with some Wicked Fast Top Coat by Cult Nails.

I hope you loved seeing a new Pretty and Polished and a twist on an oldie but a goodie!!  The best party about the Party on my Yacht base is that it is transparent and is GREAT for layering!!  I can't wait to try out some other combinations with it!  Pool Party could probably make an awesome combo too!  I have nothing but praise for Chelsea's work - she is truly amazing!

Hope you all have a great week!

Much Love,

Pretty & Polished Party on my Yacht

I've had so many things to post for you guys, I thought I'd throw this as an extra, random post!!! Pretty much because I can't stop talking about this polish and it's creator!  Today I'm shoping you Party on my Yacht, which is what led me to Chels Marie.  You can find that HERE, which is on Etsy.  Chels Marie's shop is called PrettyandPolished.   Full size bottles (below) are $8 each.  She does have a full duo for $15.  She also sells minis, which are $4.50.  There is also a really cool one for $4.35 called The Amazing Technicolor TopCoat - find it HERE.  She describes it as:

This polish is all over the place and completely loaded with color. Every single bottle of the Amazing Technicolor TopCoat is different. The size, shape, and colors are never the same. It will even have a tint to it sometimes because of pigments. The glitters that I use in all of my polishes will end up in this top coat. Making polishes can be a messy job and I always get glitter on my work mat. I always scrap my glitters into a container at the end of the day and save them for this top coat. It's a fun surprise in a bottle!

So where do I start?!  This is 3 coats in the pictures.  I think even 2 would have been ok if you don't mind the sheer look.  I am personally a huge fan of milky white polishes (future posts will prove that).  But this is just like a confetti cupcake - for my nails!  There are gold, green, pink, and purple glitter prices along with teal bar glitter.  This base is so nice and thick too - but in a completely good way.  The glitter applies itself, and almost evens out without any effort.  Finished product is completely smooth.  I only used 1 coat of Wicked Fast top coat.  I can't say enough good things about this polish.  It was love at first brush stroke.

Below are the other 2 I bought from her shop.  And actually, after I tried PomY, I ran back to her shop and bought 3 more haha!  Can't wait to see them!  I believe the shop is stocked quite often, so hopefully you'll find what you're looking for!



I left all the pictures really big so you can sit and drool like I did over pictures.  Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed one of my new favorites!  I don't know why I'm so hooked, but I seriously can look at these pictures all day! haha  I also love how the glitter sparkles in certain lights.  I noticed the colors come through different depending on the lighting!  OH and the milky white base helps suspend the glitter so it does look nice and 3D.  Just perfection in my opinion.  I've tried other white with glitter polishes, but this is by far my favorite.

Thanks for stopping by!

Much Love,
