I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) Cutie Pop: Swatch and Review

I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) Cutie Pop: Swatch and Review 

*Purchased by Me*

Welcome to the weekend!! Today, I am sharing an ILNP with you that I have had in my untrieds for a little while. This is Cutie Pop! 

Collection: Spring 2014 Collection

Color/Finish: Rosy pink linear holographic with a tinge of gold. 

Formula/Application: ILNP Cutie Pop was smooth and not too thick or thin. I was able to get it opaque in two coats, and dry time between coats was about 1-2 minutes. It dries glossy, but I added one layer of glossy top coat for some added shine. My pictures were taken under a daylight bulb! 

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! The golden shimmer really brings this pretty pink to the next level, and the holo is strong, yet subtle enough to not gray-out the base color. Add this to a perfect formula, and you are set!

Availability: ILNP Cutie Pop is currently available on ILNP's website for $10.00 for a full size (12 mL) bottle. You can find the listing for it right here!

Fair Maiden Polish Merry Plum Berry and Bright: Swatch and Review

Fair Maiden Polish Merry Plum Berry and Bright: Swatch and Review

*Sent as a gift*

Today, I am sharing a polish from Fair Maiden Polish with you! I received this polish, Merry Plum Berry and Bright, as a freebie in an order that I placed from a destash. I don't have many colors from Fair Maiden, so I was pretty excited to receive this! Let's take a look! 

Color/Finish: Medium plum linear holo with golden shimmer.
Formula/Application: Smooth, even, and buttery! The first coat was a bit thin, but it built up well in three thin coats.
Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 hearts! I absolutely love this shade of purple, and the golden shimmer is a total bonus! The only thing that took away from the fourth star was the thinness of the first coat; I felt like this would be a solid two-coater. 
Availability: Merry Plum Berry and Bright is currently still available in Fair Maiden's shop, and it costs  $9.00 for a 15 mL bottle. You can find the listing for it right here!

Ever After Polish Mrs. Robinson: Swatch and Review

Ever After Polish Mrs. Robinson: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

I feel like it has been a bit since I've posted! Sorry; I'm baaaack! Today, I have a bright, summer color from Ever After to share with you!

This shade is named Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. Robinson was a color that Rachel created for The Indie Shop, which was an indie nail polish event that was held in California in May. Well, afterwards, she made some of the bottles available for purchase through the website, and you know that I had to pick it up! Mrs. Robinson is a bright neon pink with a golden shimmer. The shimmer is a bit shy in pictures, but is definitely apparent in person! 

 

The formula on Mrs. Robinson was absolutely smooth and wonderful, as are all of the Ever Afters that I own! I was able to reach full opacity in two coats of medium thickness. Because of the neon nature of the polish, it dried down a bit matte; because of this, I added glossy topcoat for extra shine, and to bring out that gorgeous golden shimmer! Shown in my pictures are two coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat; these were taken under a daylight bulb.

I also thought that this would be the perfect base for some stamping! One of my favorite color combos is neon pink (okay, any neon color) and black. For this I chose an image from Bundle Monster's BM-716, from the Secret Garden Collection of plates, and stamped using black Konad polish and my clear stamper from Born Pretty Store. Everything is sealed in with another layer of glossy top coat! 

There are still some bottles of Mrs. Robinson left in Ever After's shop, so if you love it, be sure to pick up a bottle! The cost is $10.00 plus shipping, and you can find the listing right here!
