Pretty and Polished Swatches The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway and Girl Next Door

Hello there! Today I have two shades from Pretty & Polished to show you.

First up is The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway from the Winter 2014 collection. This is a blue jelly with tons of silver bling. I used three coats plus top coat. I did have to let the bottle rest upside down for a bit, as the larger glitter had begun to settle.

Up next is a glitter topper, Girl Next Door from the Country Girl collection. Mix of gold, minty blue, and royal blue. I have this layered over Cult Nails Lamestain. I thought it was a great combo except for the fact that the clean up of Lamestain was a major pain that didn't go well. Photos are one coat of Girl Next Door. Really good coverage for a glitter topper.

Both polishes are currently in stock and can be purchased from the Pretty & Polished shop. I hope you enjoyed. Happy Monday everyone.

Pretty and Polished Hameau Swatches

Pretty & Polished Hameau is on the blog today. Hope you enjoy, even though this isn't a new release.

The base is a pale pink creme with a subtle shimmer. Filled with purple and green glitter. There was a nice distribution of glitter without having to fuss. I used three thin coats plus top coat. It was nice and smooth as the glitter isn't overly large. Overall good formula and application.

Spank You Very Much over Victorian Viburnum

Today I have two indie polishes to show you. The first is Pretty & Polished Victorian Viburnum.
Icy Victorian blue with a subtle shimmer. Very pretty, but a bit too sheer for me. Photos show three coats and you can see some patchiness.

Dollish Polish Spank You Very Much is a glitter topper with teal, green and purple glitter. The listing for this polish says it can be worn without undies, but I don't know about that? I am wearing two coats in the photos with top coat. Applied smoothly. Bonus, this polish is currently on sale!

Pretty & Polished Etsy store is here or other store here. I couldn't find Victorian Viburnum in the listings. Not sure whether it is no longer available or just temporarily.
Dollish Polish can be purchased here. As I mentioned above, Spank You is currently on clearance!
Thanks for stopping in today!

Flip Flop Fuggedaboutit!

Flip Flop Fuggedaboutit! by Pretty & Polished.

This polish is a light pink to coral colour changing thermal polish. The Pretty & Polished site calls this a white to salmon pink, but mine didn't turn a truly white. You'll see this in my photos. This polish also contains pink, blue and fuchsia glitter. Full opacity for me was three coats. Topped with a coat of gelous and top coat. Be warned this polish was top coat hungry so you will need something to smooth out the glitter.

Pretty & Polished is available to purchase HERE. And this polish is currently in stock! Thanks for stopping in today :) Hope to see you back soon.

Go Seattle Pretty and Polished custom

To celebrate the Seattle Seahawks still being in the playoffs, I decided to show you my Go Seattle custom polish made by Pretty & Polished.  Once hockey starts up again, I'll be showing off my Canucks custom!

Go Seattle is a medium grey crelly with green micro glitters, blue hexes and matte white squares and hexes. Photos are 3 coats on its own. Some of the blue glitters look like they are curling, but they really aren't. It's just the light. Application was a breeze.

Reminder just click on pics to enlarge

Holiday collection Pretty & Polished

Good morning everyone! Hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday. Todays post contains 3 polishes from the Pretty & Polished holiday collection. P& P's shop can be found HERE.

Xmas Wreath is a dusty green shimmer polish with small gold and red glitters. Some slightly larger red hexes and larger green shredded glitter. I love the shredded glitters. Found it added something unique to this polish. Photos are 3 coats. No top coat. Applied easily. I think this would be great with a matte top coat.

Everybody Loves Penguin is a white creme base with yellow/gold round glitter, black small and large hex glitter. I did have a hard time getting the large hexes out of the bottle. It was possible with some fishing. This could be because it's a mini size bottle. Photos are 3 coats, no undies. Still some vnl, so next time I will definitely layer this over white.

S'no Mans Land is a white shimmer polish with small holographic glitter mixed with larger white hex glitters. I loved this! My favourite of the collection so far. No problems with application. Pictures show 3 coats no undies. You can definitely layer this polish. Still had some vnl, but still loved it anyway! That says a lot coming from me, because I can't stand vnl usually.

Well, what do you all think? Do you have a favourite from this collection?

Happy Holodays Duo

Pretty & Polished Happy Holodays duo consists of two polishes from her holiday line. Ruby and Holodays glitter topper. They were definitely meant to go together!

Ruby applied easily in two coats. I find this colour actually leans a bit more berry in person. Its so shiny! Photos are with no top coat. Please excuse that I didn't do any clean-up. I was doing a swatch fest and couldn't be bothered. I know, sacrilege. On to the pics...

The glitter topper is a mix of holo red and green hexes in a clear base. No problems with application. Everything laid smoothly on the nail.

Don't these look fantastic together. Very festive!

Pretty & Polished can be purchased HERE in Chelsea's new shop. Or if you prefer Etsy her shop there is currently still open ETSY

Pretty & Polish Superstorm

Trying my first post with pics. lol.

Today I have Pretty & Polished Superstorm. The money from the sale of this shade went to the Red Cross for superstorm Sandy relief.

This is 2 coats. Applied very nicely, although I would go with 3 coats next time. I really hate VNL!

Low light to show off some of the colour shift in this polish. Isn't it pretty!

Pretty & Polish is available through her etsy store, but Chelsea is opening a new shop in the next few days. Details will be available shortly according to her facebook page.http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyandPolished
