Essence Aquatix Collection

Hey yall! Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!! Today I have the Aquatic Collection from Essence. There is actually 5 polishes in this collection but I only grabbed 4 because I really wouldn't have worn it. All of the polishes were a bit sheer in the first coat but built up nicely. 

Here's "Finding Dori"


Finding Dori is a blue/green duo-chromeit has a very subtle, but nice shift. It was A bit brush stroke-y. Other than that, good polish. I used 2 coats.

This is "Under The Sea"

A gorgeous light blue holographic polish, who doesn't love a holo?!? Unfortunately, my macro shot isn't very colour accurate.  I used 2 creamy coats for the pics above. 

Next is "Mermaids Secret"

Mermaids Secret is a pretty jellyish polish with iridescent flakies that shift to purple and pink. So pretty! Dry time was really good for this polish but was also the streakiest on the first coat. This is 2 coats.

Lastly is "Underwater Love"


Underwater Love is a dark blue, slightly textured polish. The green glitter in it makes it appear turquoise. Soo hard to photograph! Pics don't do justice! Go buy his polish now!! Great dry time. I used 2 coats. 

Thanks for reading!

New Hard Candy polishes

Hey guys! I have some new Hard Candy polishes to show you! 

First up is "Beach Babe"

This is a red cream polish, not my fave shade of red but it's still pretty and had a good formula. I used 2 coats. 

"Sweet Retreat"

Super pretty light blue cream. Reminds me of Essie's "Find Me An Oasis". Had as an awesome formula and a good dry time. I used three thin coats. 

Next is "Wedding Crasher"

This is a glitter polish in a clear base, has the same glitters as Hard Candy "Black Tie Optional" but with silver as well!! So nice! I layered one coat over Sweet Retreat. 

"Remix Red"


This is my type of red! Definitely a classic shade. Formula and dry time is good, I used 2 coats. 

Lastly is "All Nighter"


This is the perfect vampy,sexy, deep red that I just adore! It's perfection! This is my new fave red. 2 coats 

I found these at Walmart for $3.99 each, definitely a steal. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Influenster Hasbro VoxBox

Hey guys! I have another influencer box box review today! This box had Hasbro's Monopoly Junior..so fun!! I'm a major monopoly fan so this was just perfect for my 5 year old. 

This is how it looked in the box


The game is for ages 5 + and up to 4 players. The 4 tokens it comes with are too cute!
 
They're bigger and easier to hold for little hands. The cash only comes in ones for easier transactions. It includes chance cards, a die, and 12 cut outs of each character to use as property markers, there's no property cards so you simply place your cutout on the property you purchase. The properties have cute names likes pizza joint, zoo, and skate park. The rules are super simple, I highly recommend this game to anyone who has small children. 

My daughter was so happy when she won her first game! 

Thanks for stopping by!
