Morning! I hope everyone is having a good Monday morning. I am on my last week of work! Only 5 more days then I get to pack all my stuff up and move back to Waterloo for school for the summer.
Today I have two indie polishes to show you. Last week I got some pretty epic nail mail! A package from Pretty and Polished and Dollish Polish all in one day! As soon as I got the mail I had to use some of them immediately. I picked Valentino and Team Salvatore, as I think these were my two biggest lemmings in the packages.
I started with two coats of Joe Fresh's Apple and a coat of China Glaze White on White on my ring finger. Apple was surprisingly a jelly creme finish, it was beautifully squishy but still opaque in 2 coats. Although this bad boy stains hard. When I took it all my nails are now stained red except for my ring fingers, and I used a coat of OPI's Start to Finish base coat, which has never given me a problem with staining before. For sure double up on base coat if you use this. Then I used Valentino on all but my accent nail, which I used Team Salvatore.
My only issue with this manicure is that I was so excited to put on these polishes that I wanted to wear two coats of Valentino and Team Salvatore. Next time I wear these I will probably only use one coat so that the glitter is a little more sparse on the nail.
I'm totally in love with both of these polishes. They are gorgeous and I am so on the black and white glitter bandwagon.
I love the black and white glitter over red, and Team Salvatore is such an awesome accent to this!
Pretty and Polished can be purchased from Chelsea's Etsy shop. A full size 15mL bottle is $8.50 and a mini 7mL bottle is $4.75. She is not currently stocked with anything, however rumour has it she will be restocking this Wednesday night. You can sign up for an email notification for when she returns to her shop, or follow her on Twitter or Facebook where she will announce shop openings.
Dollish Polish is now on Big Cartel and she will no longer be announcing her shop openings due to the mad rush so check her shop every now and then to see what she has in stock! Her full size bottles are either $8.75 or $9.50 depending on what ingredients are used and the mini bottles are $4.50.
What do you think of the black and white glitter trend? Do you own any of these? What is your favourite Black and White glitter out there?
Sincerely Stephanie
