Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier

Shade

Hey all!  Today's polish is one that I thought for sure I was going to love.  Once I put it on though I had mixed feelings about it.  This is Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier.  What you see here is three coats and topcoat.  It kinda stinks that I still had VNL after three coats.  The VNL was pretty visible in the sun and not too bad inside.  The formula was good and easy to control.  It dried with kinda a satiny finish so it needed a good topcoat to be shiny.

This shows the VNL a bit better

I think I would love this polish if I didn't have the VNL.  Maybe next time I need to layer it over a nude polish or maybe a ridge filler base coat?  Not sure.  It definitely deserves a second chance.  It's funny to me that I thought I'd love this one and only kinda like Pacific Coral (here) but it's totally the other way around.  Does that ever happen to you guys?  Have a great night!

Until next time...

Zoya Thandie

Hello!  Today I have a Zoya polish that I almost passed up on thinking it was just another orange.  I'm happy to say that I went ahead and got it (obviously) and it's not just any old orange.  This beauty is Zoya Thandie from the new summer collection.  Thandie is a gorgeous creamy orange that dries slightly darker than in the bottle.  It's a very nice bright color without being a neon.  This is three coats of Thandie with topcoat.  My accent nail is Above the Curve Sunset Skies, an orange jelly base with glitters in it.

I'm quite in love with this orange.  It's just so lovely.  Have you picked up any polishes lately that you were undecided on but ended up loving?  I hope you all have a lovely Thursday.  I'm off to go watch my sisters graduate high school tonight.  Sadly they are at two different schools so our family had to split up between the two grad ceremonies.

*I purchased this polish myself during the Zoya Earth Day promo.  I needed a sixth polish to complete my order and Thandie was it.*

Julep Shenae

 Hello!  Quickie post for you today showing Julep Shenae.  I'm obsessed with mints, all mints.  This mint has a very pretty shimmer that shows in the right light.  You can't see the shimmer inside but I do think it helps give this polish some depth.  I believe this is two coats but I wore this a while ago and honestly I'm not sure.  Sorry about that :)

What is your favorite mint polish?  This one and Zoya Neely are both at the top of my list.  I hope you all have a fantastic day.

Shimmer Polish Jennifer and Karen

PR Sample (sort of)

Sun

Good morning!  A few weeks ago I won part of a massive giveaway from Shimmer Polish.  Along with the polish I won she sent some for review as well.  So that's why I said PR Sample sort of.  Anyway today I have two Shimmer Polishes to show you.  First up is Jennifer.  I believe Jennifer could be built up and worn on it's own but since it's in a clear base I decided to layer it over Candeo Laman Brisa.  This is one coat of Jennifer.  I can't even believe how much glitter I got in one coat!  Seriously you guys the application is amazing.

My favorite photo is the shade picture.  It really shows off the gorgeous glitters.  Next up is Shimmer Karen.  Again the formula and application are outstanding.  Honestly, I wouldn't lie to you.  This is two coats of Karen over Sation Lollipop Goes the Princess.

This was my first experience with Shimmer Polish.  I have a few more to show you soon.  If they are all this good I will be buying so many.  I've never owned a glitter polish that behaved this well.    Take a look at Shimmer's etsy shop here.  There are so many cool color combos.  If you click here it will take you over to Shimmer's facebook page where you can keep up to date on all the latest happenings.  What are your favorite Shimmer polishes?  I'd love to know what you recommend so I can check them out.

Until next time lovelies...

* The Shimmer polishes were sent to me in exchange for my honest review.  All opinions are mine.  My opinion is these rock and you should own at least one or seven.*
