Pretty & Polished - Spring Sonata Collection & Stay Classic


Hello Everyone!!  Happy Happy Friday!! :-)  And March 1st too!  Does anyone else agree that 2013 is flying by!???  But I suppose that's a good thing because that means Spring is coming!!  And with Spring comes...

Spring Sonata by Pretty & Polished!!  Gorgeous Spring colors with a glitter topper that looks amazing over each shade!!  These gorgeous polishes will be available today!  You can purchase Pretty & Polished on Etsy or Pretty & Polished on MyShopify. You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished - Facebook and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/. I highly recommend taking a look around. There are so many different options, I feel like Chels, the owner, does a great job of mixing it up to keep everyone happy!

I have lots of pictures to show you....

*****UPDATED with Stay Classic at the bottom!******

First up, Candy Carnation.


This is two coats of Candy Carnation with Wicked Fast top coat.


This is a gorgeous pink with shimmer through it.  It applied perfectly!



Close up!


Next we have Lady Lavender.


For Lady Lavender, I used 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.  I did place upsidedown for a minute to bring the hexes to the brush easier.


This purple is packed with the medium purple hexes and microglitter in purple throughout.  It almost twinkles as you move.



Close up!


Next we have Victorian Viburnum.


Victorian Viburnum reminds me of OPI I Vant To Be A Lone Star, but slightly more green/blue than the pale blue.  This is 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.  The second coat I applied a little thicker.


This applied beautifully and the pearl to this gives it an elegant finish.



Close up!


Next we have Delightful Daisy.


This is two coats of Delightful Daisy with Wicked Fast top coat.


Yellow can be a hard color to buy because it can be sheer and need lots of coats.  Delightful Daisy is perfect in application and the pearl in this one also gives a great finish to the color.



Close up!



Next we have Bashful Bouquet.  I have 1 coat of Bashful Bouquet over each polish, topped with Wicked Fast top coat.

Bashful Bouquet is over Candy Carnation.




Bashful Bouquet is over Lady Lavender.




Bashful Bouquet is over Victorian Viburnum.




Bashful Bouquet is over Delightful Daisy.



 
Next we have Stay Classic, which is apart of the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes collection!


I started with 1 coat of Sphere by Pretty & Polished!  This is an oldie but a goodie!


My light box doesn't show off the stunning shimmer, but this still looks awesome!


Here is the shimmer!!  Sorry the lighting makes my skin look weird!  I tried to adjust, but then I lost the color and shimmer.


The shimmer shifts red to green, reminds me a little bit of Clarins Unicorn Pee (230)!!




I layered one coat of Stay Classic over Sphere, and topped with Wicked Fast.  I think it kind of looks like galaxy nails, but an easier version LOL!!


Love the tiny little multi colored glitters in this.




You can sort of see the shimmer in Sphere in this lighting!


Close up!

Enchanted Polish - Love A Lot of Glitter - Part 2


Sorry for the delay on Part 2 of the fantastic Enchanted Polish collection, Love A Lot Of Glitter!!  These are based on the Care Bears.  You can see part 1 - Here!  As I mentioned, I won these through Chelsea, the owner, for her birthday giveaway!

I love this collection!! The base is a bit thicker, but done on purpose to help the glitter stick to the brush. It applied perfectly for me! I love the coverage with one coat of each glitter.

You can purchase Enchanted Polish at http://www.enchantedpolish.com/, and stay up to date with Enchanted Polish on Facebook. I recommend checking out the Llarowe and Harlow & Co. shops to see other pretties by Enchanted Polish! There are some amazing colors available, but a lot are out of stock! They restock quite a bit, so make sure to follow them on Facebook for shop updates, Llarowe - Facebook and Harlow & Co. Facebook.



I'll try to keep this short since it's very late and there are a ton of photos anyway ;-) lol

First up, Tummy Time.  I layered this over 3 of Magical Mystery Tour, which you can see my original review, HERE!  I then topped with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.



I absolutely love this combination because it reminds me of a galaxy!!  It might be the stars, bars, or shards that remind me of that, but I love it!! And I didn't notice the hearts at first glance, but love how it snuck out onto my pinky ;-)


Love Magical Mystery Tour!!  All the different colors that it shifts brings out the glitters in Tummy Time!




This is Awesomeness.  It is so awesome, that it freaked out my camera.  I tried to get as color accurate as possible, but my skin tone looks a little weird haha!  This is ONE coat with Wicked Fast top coat.  How amazingly awesome is that?!




I then applied 1 coat of Daydream Surprise and topped with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.  These are a bit off in color :-(  I couldn't get them to work, but they are slightly more purple.  I do think the glitters look accurate though!  As like the rest of the collection, there are the beautiful iridescent glitters in there!





Here are a couple in the bedroom lighting that show the purple a little better.



Next we have a favorite of mine, Ballerina Sprinkles!!  This is 2 coats.




It is a gorgeous light blue with a pink/gold shimmer along with gorgeous holo!!  The holo didn't want to photograph, so I used a flash!
 

I then applied 1 coat of Tender Heart along with Clearly On Top top coat by KBShimmer.


This combo is gorgeous!!!  In person, the holo is more noticeable and it just shimmers in the light with the iridescent glitters of Tender Heart.


I love all the diamonds in this too!  So pretty!


Flash to show a bit of holo!
