Trust Fund Beauty

Hi guys! I recently won a giveaway on Instagram from Trust Fund Beauty and I'm going to share my winnings with you today! Trust Fund Beauty is a newer Canadian Indie polish company based out of Montreal. The polishes have sassy names such as "Nip Slip", "Do You Know Who My Father is?", and "I Look Good Nude". They also have funny captions to go with the descriptions. 

Both the polishes I received had awesome formulas with no issues at all and quick dry time. The packaging is super cute, each bottle comes in a box. 

First is "Gossip Mag"

    Artificial lighting

The caption for this on their site is "Let them talk! It's not your fault you're so interesting. Besides, everytime they buy a mag with your face on the cover, you get a thrill. The people need to be entertained, and who are you to deny the world your sexy self?" This is a red orange and almost a one coater. I used two for the photos above with no top coat. Look at the shine!!

Lastly, "Is He Rich?"

    Artificial lighting 

    Shade

The caption on the site reads "A question that is often asked, and the answer is always the same. Obvi! Why waste your time otherwise?"  This a a deep turquoise. Unfortunately, my camera hates me and I couldn't get an accurate colour shot. :( two coats, no topcoat. 

I highly recomend checking this company out. You can find them on Instagram at @trustfundbeauty or trustfundbeauty.com

Essence Beach Cruisers Collection

Hey y'all! Today I have the Essence Beach Cruisers collection for ya, well actually only 3 of the 4. I have bad luck when it comes to finding a complete collection lol. This collection consists of 4 textured polishes with a shimmer. The one I'm missing is a gold one. The formula and dry time were good for 2 of them, I'll get to the third after the jump. 

First up is "I ❤️ Summer Break"

    Artificial lighting 

This macro is the most colour accurate, it is a red-orange texture with red and gold shimmer running through it. This is 2 coats no top coat. 

Here's "Keep Calm And Go To The Beach!"

    Artificial lighting

This textured polish has gold and green shimmer in it and is my favourite out of the collection! This is 2 coats no topcoat. 

Lastly is "Girls Just Wanna Have Sun!"

    Artificial lighting. 

Nice peachy colour with orange shimmer in it. This is the polish that have me a little bit of trouble during application. It just seemed a bit thick so I had to use 3 coats. Other then that, no issues.  

Overall, nice collection with cute names! For only $2.49 a bottle, why not give em a try!

OPI Glitter Off

Hey guys! Today I'm reviewing OPI 's Glitter Off base coat. I heard it's being discontinued, so if you don't have it yet and want it, grab it when you see it! 

I'm sure most of you have been hearing a lot of buzz lately about using Elmer's white glue as a base coat before applying a dense glitter polish for easy, peel off removal. That's pretty much what Glitter Off is, it doesn't smell like polish. It smells exactly like white glue. 

So this is what it looks like as it's drying. My pinky nail is completely dry. The drying seem to begin at the tip of the nail. That's why it looks like I have major shrinkage going on lol. It took about 3 minutes to dry completely. 

Here's a comparison of the brush next to a normal brush from opi

Instructions say not to use base coat under this and I recomend that as well. I tried that and wrinkled the Glitter Off. It was really weird! 

Here it is completely dry. ( please excuse my stained nails! )

I used Essie's Ignite The Night. It's a really dense glitter that's opaque in three coats. It came off super easy, I used a orange stick to pick at the side of the nail and it pretty much popped off! (PS- this is an old pic I was saving for this blog post, that's why my nail shapes don't match!)

Hope that was helpful!

Essence Cookies & Cream Collection

Hello everyone! Today I have 3 of the 4 polishes from Essence's limited edition collection, Cookies & Cream. This collection is neutral shimmers, I think! 😜 

Each polish came with a little pack of decals! 

First up is "Last Night A Cookie Saved My Life"

    Artificial lighting 

    Macro

I used 2 coats for the photos above plus topcoat. Of course I had to apply one of the cookie decals the polish came with! First coat was a bit streaky, but the second cleared that up. One thing all the polishes did was it showed all the grooves in my nails. Oh well! 

Here's "Macron, C'est Bon!"

    Artificial lighting 

This is probably my fave of the collection! It's so pretty! I used 2 coats plus topcoat.   The application and dry was good. 

Lastly, "Yummy! Yummy!"

    Artificial lighting

This was also opaque in 2 coats which is awesome! The macro isn't very colour accurate, unfortunately. I used 2 coats plus topcoat. 

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Opi Ford Mustang

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been super busy. I finally found 2 polishes from OPI 's Ford Mustnag collection!! I was so excited when I seen them lol

First is "Girls Love Ponies"

    Shade

    Sunlight

Guys... Best.pink.evaaa!! Seriously haven't been so happy with a pink polish in a while! Formula and dry time was good, nice and creamy. 3 coats plus topcoat for the photos above. 

Lastly, "Queen Of The Road"

    Sunlight

    Macro shot

This polish is stunning! It looks blackish but when I removed it, the pad was dark green lol so I'm stumped! It also has these beautiful specks in it. It dries somewhat matte. This is 2 coats, no topcoat. 

I'm hoping to grab the rest of this collection soon! What do you think of it?

Baked Mini Collection from Orly

Hey guys! To my canadian friends, I hope you all had a great Canada Day! To my American friends, what are your plans for Independence Day? 

I recently got a mini Baked Collection from Orly which consists of 4 polishes. I think there's 6 all together but I may be wrong. 

First up is "Saturated"

    Sunlight

    Shade

This is a gorgeous deep purple, almost jelly like and dries to a semi matte finish. I used 3 coats plus topcoat. 

Here's "Tropical Pop"

    Sunlight

    Shade

My camera FREAKED OUT taking these pics. These were the 2 best lol. It's an awesome neon but, unfortunately, gave me the most problems while applying. Other than that, great polish! 2 coats plus topcoat. 

This is "Hot Tropics"

    Sunlight

    Shade

Soo pretty!! Bright Fuschia with gold shimmer, love it! Formula was good. 2 coats plus topcoat. 

Lastly, "Ablaze"

    Sunlight

    Sunlight

    Shade

This bright coral with gold shimmer is my fave from this collection. Absolutely lovely! Formula was good for this one as well. This is 2 coats plus topcoat. 

Thanks for stopping by!

OPI Coca-Cola Collection

Hey guys! Today I have the 10 Pack Of Style from OPI (Coca-Cola Collection). It came with 8 of the polishes out of the collection except one (the one inspired by Fanta Orange). It also came with a nail envy and top coat. It came in a pretty neat box as well. 

All photos were taken indoors with 2 coats of polish plus topcoat. 

    Front 

    Back

It also has a flap that opens and gives a description of the polishes. 

This set came with one duochrome, one metallic, one jelly, and 5 creams. 

Here's "Coca-Cola Red"

So this was inspired by Coca-Cola! It's a beautiful classic red. If you're a red lover, this is a must have!! Application was super creamy. 

Here's "Today I Accomplished Zero"

This is inspired by Coke Zero and is a fun black jelly with red glitters. For a jelly, this built up very nicely in just 2 coats. Application was great as well. 

This is "My Signature is "DC""

This here was inspired by Diet Coke. 

This a silver almost foil like polish with silver shimmer. I'm not a huge fan of these polishes but dry time was really nice. 

Next is "You're So Vain-illa"

This is inspired by Vanilla Coke. I know I always say this but this is my fave beige at the moment! Everything about this is perfect. 

This is "Sorry I'm Fizzy Today"

(Please excuse the nick :( ) This, too, was inspired by Vanilla Coke. Don't exactly know why though lol. Gorgeous creamy pink. I had a bit of application issues suck as streaking but nothing worth not buying this polish if you like it!

This one is "A Grape Affair"

Inspired by Fanta Grape, this is a vampy purple. It's quite lovely. In darker lighting it could be mistaken for black for sure. Awesome creamy formula. 

Here's "Green On The Runway"

This was inspired by Sprite and is also a duochrome! I normally despise duochromes ( I don't know why) but there was something about this one that I love. It shifts to brown under certain lighting and was really hard to capture on camera. It wasn't streaky either which I love. 

Lastly, "Get Cherried Away" 

This is inspired by Cherry Coke. It's a beautiful deep purple/red but formula was a bit thin. Next time I will use three coats for sure!

What do you guys think of this collection? If you've tried them, what are your faves? Thanks for stopping by!
