Painted Polish Rise & Grind Quartet + Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio


Press Sample


Hello lovelies! Painted Polish is kicking off the Autumn season with two gorgeous new collections! First is the Rise & Grind Quartet which consists of four neutral polishes filled with holo microglitters. Although I don't drink coffee, I can appreciate anything inspired by it because I love the smell and love the rich brown shades! The second is the Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio, consisting of two tawny orange shade with different elements and a gold holo glitter topper. The formulas were all easy to work with except for the glitter topper which takes a little more finessing. Let's take a look..

ORLY Desert Muse Fall 2020

 

*press sample

Hello lovelies! My kids have been back in school for a couple weeks now (!!!) and it feels so good to be back on a schedule again! I have been getting a lot accomplished around that house. Maybe I'll get more blogging done too? My two year old is still an absolute terror though, so I'm not counting on it. 

ORLY has released a Fall collection that consists of six cremes. The formulas were all perfectly smooth and easy to work with. I recommend this whole collection if the color story is up your alley. Let's look at the swatches..

Indie by Patty Lopes Dark Experiments. is a sheer gray crelly with red round glitters, iridescent flakies, and more. This is a very sheer base and you won't get full opacity. Shown is three coats plus top coat.




Indie by Patty Lopes Meet Me in Montauk is a topper with blue/purple/pink/green shifting aurora shimmer with multichrome flakies and holo pigment. Shown is one coat over ORLY Gotta Bounce.

Rogue Lacquer Rainbow Ice Ice Baby is a creamy white base with a rainbow of metallic flakes. Shown is two coats plus top coat.




Rogue Lacquer Take It Off Soy Based Nail Polish Remover is just what the name suggests. This was a first more me, I've only ever used acetone to remove polish. It doesn't dissolve the polish nearly as quickly as pure acetone, but this is a great non-toxic alternative. It's also hydrating for your skin and cuticles. It’s very lightly scented with a tart margarita, grapefruit, and cherries, and is in a travel size 2.0 oz bottle.


Zombie Claw Water Bear is a sheer light pink base with red/gold/blue/green aurora shimmer and delicate holo shimmer. Shown is three coats plus top coat. Price: $13
