Seas and Greetings

Hey Dolls!!! Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving Holiday!!! So today I have the unconventional Holiday Collection from China Glaze:) Seas and Greetings, is a tropical take on traditional holiday classics that will make you want to jet away to a white sand beach with crystal blue waters.

*press sample*

First up is the namesake of this collection, Seas and Greetings. This beauty is a medium purple with an intense pink shimmer. The formula was a little thin but builds up easily:) 

Eat, Pink, Be Merry is a gorgeous pale pink with a bright pink shimmer:) Again formula is a little thin, here are 3 coats.

Joy to the Waves is a serene light blue shimmer, that has a slight metallic quality. 

Let's Shell-ebrate, is a explosion of purple and gold glitter in an variety of sizes in a clear base.  This does cover really nicely, here are 3 coats:) 

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish, is a pale green micro glitter bomb in a clear base:) Again excellent coverage, so full of glitter it almost appears to be a metallic:) 

Good Tide-ings, is a cool blue lavender creme! This one has great pigmentation and great coverage:) Here is 2 coats!

Sand in my Mistletoes, is a pale peach creme. I love this color but, it does something very funny to my skin tone :/

Warm Wishes, is a brilliant watermelon pink with a slight silver shimmer.

Tis the Sea-Sun, is a orange leaning coral creme:) That is brighter in person! Here are 2 coats.

Snow Way, is a beautiful iridescent whiten with a heavy pink shimmer:) If you liked Pearl Jammin' from the Rebel Collection, you will love this!

Partridge in a Palm Tree, is an aqua green with a slight shimmer that has a matte finish:) The formula is a little thick and dries super quick, beautiful but a little hard to work with:(

The More the Berrier, is a metallic magenta with a hot pink shimmer!

I love this entire collection! I like the fresh tropical take on the traditional:) I was very happy with the formulas for most of the colors, but I feel like the shimmers could have been more pigmented, and the matte was very finicky! This collection is available at Sally's Beauty Supply now!!! My faves are Eat, Pink, Be Merry, Snow Way and Tis the Sea-Sun:)

Ellagee Summer Fun

Hey Dolls:) I know I have been MIA for a little while:( right after my last post I pulled 2 muscles in my back:( and well because I'm still nursing my Baby girl I can't take muscle relaxers or any good pain meds!!! So it has been heat and ice 4 times a day and physical therapy twice a week (fun, fun!!!) I'm not at a 100% yet but it is getting better, it just has been taking me 3 times as long to do anything at all (including laundry and dishes).  But enough about me I have 4 awesome polishes to show you today from Ellagee!!! 2 from the Beach Bum collection of sun bleached neon cremes and 2 from the All Summer Long collection of neon glitters in a clear base:)  This is the first time I have ever used Ellagee and impressed is an understatement!!! I am always blown away when a maker takes the time to package their polish up nicely, it just shows that they are super proud of what they created:) And this polish is definitely something to be proud of!!!

First up is By the Sea, a bright bleached out blue that is awesome!!! I think this is my new favorite blue, it really is the perfect summer sky!!! Not to mention that it only took two thin coats for complete coverage, and anybody who loves light or pastel creme polish colors knows what a feat that is!!  Here is 2 coat with a coat of SV

Beach Bum is next!!! Oh what can I say about this peachy neon beauty... I LOVE IT!!!! I love peachy colors but they usually wash me out, NOT this one!!!! I am actually wearing it on my toes right now!!! 2 coat again for complete coverage with a coat of SV.

 Butterfly Kisses is next:) This polish is packed with pink and green neon glitters, with flower and butterfly glitters of various neon colors in a clear base. Now I'm gonna be honest, I have not mastered the art of applying shaped glitter:( and try as I might I was never happy with the end result! I do love the whimsicalness of this polish and maybe with practice I'll get there!!! 1 dabbing coat over white followed with a coat of Gelous.

 Gumballs is the last polish I have to show you:) And I think the best neon glitter topper ever is now in my possession!!!  Neon circle glitters of all colors and various sizes in a clear base is what awesomeness is made out of!!! 1 dabbing coat over white followed with a coat of gelous:)

The sun bleached neons were released on May 9th and the Neon glitters are releasing May 16th (this Saturday @ 3) I have a feeling that these beauties will go quick!!!! You can grab them at www.ellagee.com :) Have an awesome week!!!

Zoya Bubbly Collection

Happy Tuesday Loves:) Hope all of you Mommies had a fabulous Mothers Day weekend!!! I know that I did:)  Anyway, I couldn't wait any longer to show you these fabulous six polishes from the Zoya Bubbly Collection:)  I have been so impressed with Zoya's Summer Collections and this is no exception!!! Bubbly is a collection of  Holographic Glitter infused Jelly's:) 

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own

 First up is Binx, it is described as a orchid purple. I would say this polish is more of a medium purple/pink blend and absolutely Gorgeous!!!! Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV:)

Harper is a Cotton Candy Pink Jelly with a slight gold undertone:) This color is just perfect for Summer toes!!!! Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV:)

 Alma is up next:) This polish is a warm peach/gold metallic and is my least fav of this collection. Don't get me wrong this polish is absolutely stunning but it washes out my skin tone and makes me look sickly:( Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV!!!

 Jesy is one of my favs of this collection:) This polish is a rich coral/orange blend that reminds me of a summer sunset over the water. Perfection!!!! 3 coats and 1 coat of SV:)

 Stassi is a vibrant rich green with a gold sparkle that just sings in the sun!!! This polish should have come out back in March, talk about a St. Patty's day Bombshell!!! 3 coats and a coat of SV:)

 Finally Muse is my absolute fav from this collection!!! This polish is a rich Blue jelly with a very slight Gold undertone. This polish has so many different facets, I really just can't take my eyes off of it!!! 3 coats with a coat of SV:)

This collection is the counterpart to the Tickled collection , both are available now on www.zoya.com:)  you can grab the entire collection for $54 or $9 per color:) What are your favs from this collection???
