Polish Addict Nail Color In Bloom, The Prince & The Showgirl and Vanellope Von Schweetz

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been away, just finished moving to a new place! Laura and Crystal released some re formulated polishes from last year, I grabbed 2:In Bloom and The Prince & The Showgirl (part of the "She's a Legend" trio), plus Vanellope Von Schweetz!

**Just to warn y'all, this post is somewhat pic heavy :p **

The Prince & The Showgirl is a beautiful blue holo with what appears to also be somewhat of a chrome. 
    Indoor lighting. 
    With flash
    Another flash shot. 

I unfortunately wasn't able to get a sun shot because it's been so rainy and gloomy here. 

   This macro shot shows the chrome. 

I used 3 coats and topcoat for the above photos. The application was thin on the first coat but built up nicely. As always, great formula and dry time! I really want the rest from this collection. If you're a polish and Marilyn Monroe fan, you need these!!

Here's "In Bloom"

    Indoor lighting. 
    
This is a pale green crelly LOADED with all sorts of glitters. Stars,flowers,assorted sized colors and sizes of squares, and assorted sizes and color circles. Also, matte and holo! I'm not much if a green fan, to be honest, so I only ordered a mini size which in now regretting. Everyone needs this polish in their life, seriously. I didn't really have any issues grabbing glitters except for the flowers and stars which is to be expected and I didn't mind  at all lol. This is 3 coats and topcoat, great formula too. 

I used In Bloom with a matte topcoat and Sally Hansens "Mint Tint". 


It looks awesome matte!! 

This is "Vanellope Von Schweetz"
    Indoor lighting. 
    Macro shot!

First off, this polish is super fun! I love the random glitter assortment. Microglitters, tiny bars, squares, hexagons and circles of various shapes and colours. Some are matte and holo too! Flawless application and had no problems at all getting some of the bigger glitters. This is 3 coats and topcoat.

Nicole by OPI "Party Bus"

Hi everyone! If you had spring break, how was it? I enjoyed 2 weeks off school and now I don't want to go back tomorrow! Hahah! Anyways, I seen at walmart some of nopi's polishes from the Carrie Underwood collection and they are gorgeous! I picked one up called "Party Bus". 

    Direct sunlight 
    Shade

This is a holo glitter in a clear base. It has assorted sized dots and flower shaped glitters! Fun! It's so pretty and sparkly! I had to fish these glitters out but I recently used it and left the bottle upside down for a few minutes and had no problems grabbing lots of flowers! I layered this over Essie "Spin The Bottle". 

There are so many other beauties from this collection. I highly suggest taking a look at them!  

Thanks for stopping by and you can also find me on Instagram @polishednubs for more random swatches. :)

A England Fated Prince

Hi guys! Today is going to be just a quick blog post on one of the most gorgeous holos I own. It's also a colour I probably wouldn't buy for myself, so I'm glad it was sent to me because I'm in LOVE!!  It's A England's "Fated Prince". It's a dark, almost olive-y colour. 

    Natural light


    With flash


All photos above have a coat of HK glisten and glow topcoat too!
That's it for now! I just thought this deserved it's own blog post :)

Polish Addict Nail Color

Hey guys! I recently received 5 Polish Addict Nail Color polishes from a friend. They're soo beautiful! It was actually a Mystery Box and it came with 4 polishes, plus my August birthday polish, cuticle oil, spectraflair topcoat, and a bunch of other nail goodies! 

First up is "Pool Party"
    Natural light

This is a super sparkly, multi-coloured glitter topper in a clear base. It's fantastic! This 2 thin coats over Essence's "Break Through". 

Here's "Anna". 
    Natural light. 

This is a pretty, frosty pink polish with scattered holo! 
    With flash. 

Ooooh!!!! So girly! I love it! I used 2 coats for the photos. 

This is the August birthday polish

    Artificial light. 

This is a blue/grey base with fun glitters in different colours and shapes! It's like confetti!! I'm just so happy that I was able to get this! Laura and co owner Crystal make special birthday polishes for people who order the Mystery Box. For example, this month would be a secret December polish for people with December birthdays! How cool is that?!! 

Up next is "Beauty & The Beach" 

    Natural light

Oooh! A light green base with assorted sizes and shapes of funky coloured glitter! I actually didn't think I was going to like this, but after I put it on I didn't want to take it off! Lol! One of my fave PANC I own. It even glows in the dark! 

    
My phone camera couldn't pick up the glow as well as it actually is!  I used 3 coats for these photos. 

This is "Island Girl"

    Natural light

This was another polish I didn't think I would like. Wrong! I love it! It's a pinkish/nudish base with purple,grey,pink and gold glitters. The name definitely suits this one. This is 2 coats.

Wicked Polish

Hello!! So about over a year ago, I joined the nail community on Instagram and discovered Rylee, AKA, Wicked Polish. Ever since then, any of her polishes have been a lemming for me lol! I finally got two thanks to my nail mail buddy! 

Here's the lovely "Drunk In Public"
    Natural light. 

This is a white crelly with assorted coloured neon glitters. This totally reminds me of cupcake icing! This is two coats with no topcoat. 

Here's "Prowling" 
    Natural lighting

This is seriously soo sparkly in real life, it's crazy. This is a blue jelly with holo glitters and stars. It glows faintly, but I wasn't able to capture it. The formula was a bit thick but didn't effect the application. This is two coats, no topcoat. 

If you're interested in purchasing from Wicked Polish, you can go to @wickedpolish on Instagram or go to wickedpolish.com.
