Nail Hoot "Love Birds"

***Press Sample***

I've got a super cute polish to show you today from Nail Hoot! This one is called "Love Birds" and is a Valentine's Day special polish ^_^

Love Birds is a lovely rosy pink holographic polish with beautiful iridescent glitters throughout. I am wearing two thin coats in the photos above, though this would likely be opaque in 3 coats. On the accent nail is Octopus Party Nail Lacquer's "Milk & Honey" with some freehanded love birds (awwww).

I really love this polish!! It's well known at this point that I'm not a huge fan of pinks (I am SO picky about which ones I will wear), but this pink is that gorgeous Victorian/vintage rose color that I absolutely adore! And the iridescent glitters really set this polish apart and make it very unique. The glitters and holographic pigments complement each other so nicely. All around, a really fantastic polish, especially for Valentine's Day!

Love Birds is limited edition and available for purchase now HERE! And here are some Nail Hoot social links for you:

What do you think of this polish? Let me know in the comments below! <3

Polish was sent to me by the maker for swatches and a review. All experience with the polish and opinions are my own and remain 100% honest.

Sassy Polish & Scrubs Fright Night in Wonderland Collection

***Press Sample***

Normally, when it comes to Sportsball, this is me:

However...there is only one time I am actually supportive and pay attention, and that's when the Seahawks are playing - especially when they are playing against a team that almost my entire family on my husband's side supports.

Hehehehehehehe...... *insert devilish grin here*

Alright, enough Sportsball - onto polish! I've got swatches of one of the two new Halloween collections released by Sassy Polish & Scrubs! This collection is called Fright Night in Wonderland and there are 6 polishes in total.

Note: For all of the photos, I am using a basecoat of OPI's Nail Envy and a quick-dry topcoat by Frenzy Polish.

We'll start with "Axe Murderer Alice:"

Axe Murderer Alice is a lovely royal blue jelly full of red, white, and black microglitters, as well as a scattered holographic effect. Shown above in 3 thin coats.

Next up is "Ghostly Cheshire Grin:"

Ghostly Cheshire Grin is a steel grey/blue subtle duochrome with a scattered holographic effect and a purple/teal/fuchsia shift. Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Next is "Queen of Ripping Out Hearts:"

Queen of Ripping Out Hearts is a deep red jelly packed with a gold shimmer, scattered holo, and red, black, and white micro glitters. Shown above is 3 thin coats.

Here we have "Terrifying Tweedle Twins:"

Terrifying Tweedle Twins is a bright neon green/yellow (depends on your lighting) filled with yellow red micro glitters and a scattered holographic effect. Shown above is 2 thin coats.

This is "White Rabbit Witchcraft:"

White Rabbit Witchcraft is a white/grey creme with black and blue microglitters, white shimmer, and a subtle holographic effect. Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Lastly is "Zombified Hatter:"

Zombified Hatter is a grey/dark green shifting (depends on lighting) polish with purple micro glitters and a subtle holographic shimmer. Shown above is 2 thin coats.

Overall, this collection is really fun and quite clever! Sometimes I noticed I had a bit more of a textured finish due to the microglitters (like with Terrifying Tweedle Twins), but with a good thick topcoat like Pahlish's Magic Mirror would have smoothed things over just fine.

You can purchase the full collection HERE at $50.00 for the 15ml full size - 5ml mini sizes are also available individually on the website. And here are some social links for you:
