Hi everyone.
I was very excited to finally find the new Sally Hansen Color Foils in store. I picked up three to try. So, today I will be sharing Leaden Lilac with you. I really wanted to try these because I heard that they stamped well. Generally I'm not a fan of foil finishes. I did combine stamping with the swatches.
Leaden Lilac is by itself on the ring and index fingers. I started with a ridge filler base coat and used two coats of Leaden Lilac. It isn't horribly streaky, but still streaky. This is really a fault with most foils, in my opinion. A lot of polish stays on the brush. I recommend trying to get most of it off first. It covers well, so you don't need much. I almost got away with one coat, but was trying to see if I could hide some of the flaws.
The stamping is done using plate MoYou pro 08. Stamped over Cult Nails Nevermore and Tempest. Stamps very well over black, which is a huge plus in my books. Excuse the bad stamping over the white. It is my super curvy nail, but for some reason I couldn't get my squishy stamper to pick up the polish. I had to use my Konad stamper and it doesn't like the curve. So yes, this polish does stamp. And it stamps very well!
For me, I prefer this for stamping and not a straight up polish. It was too streaky for my liking. This is just not a finish for me. How do you feel about these polishes? I purchased this at Shoppers Drug Mart for $8.99 cdn.

Simplicity and No Love Lost - Emily de Molly
My first 2 Emily de Molly polishes. This is another Aussie brand now available to the rest of us! I'll add links to shops after pics. All polish is 3 free.
SIMPLICITY is a lilac crelly with holographic micro shimmer. Small squares and medium matte white hexagons. Photos show 3 coats. No issues with application or formula.
NO LOVE LOST is a cherry red jelly with various size and shaped red and pink glitter. Formula is fantastic. Totally in love with this polish. It's just squishy goodness in a bottle. Photos show 2 coats.
If you live in Australia, polish can be purchased directly from the Emily de Molly Etsy shop. If you live outside Australia, you have three choices for shopping. Llarowe, Shoppe Eclectic, or Norway Nails. You'll have to figure out which is best for you. Prices vary depending on retailer.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed as much as I did!

The Polish Bar Butterfly Kisses swatch and review
This is my first polish from The Polish Bar! I love discovering new brands!
The Polish Bar store can be found here. Shipping is currently only available in the United States and Canada. As I write this Butterfly Kisses is in stock.
BUTTERFLY KISSES is a clear base glitter topper with lilac, blue, white, and holographic glitter in square and hexagon. Also some silver butterflies. Photos shown are 2 coats of Butterfly Kisses over Essie Play Date. The base used in this is thick, so be careful when applying. A good top coat is needed to smooth it out.
Make sure to follow the Polish Bar on facebook for information on re-stocks and new releases.

Enchanted Polish Hey Jude
Enchanted Polish makes amazing holo's. I only have 3 of them in my collection. I need more!
Hey Jude is described as a multichrome holographic polish that shifts from greyed khaki lilac to teal green to purple. I tried to capture this in the photos, but I couldn't do the shift justice. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it. Applied very nicely. Photos are 2 coats.
Enchanted Polish can be purchased through their big cartel store here. They can also be found at Harlow & Co and Llarowe.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed today's polish.
