Discontinued nail polish swatches!

I figured with my 400+ nail polishes I would start swatching a bunch that I've never used or have only worn once in the few years I've had some of these. So let's get started!


These polishes are by Arissa. I've had these for years and picked up the complete set from Cost Cutters. All pics are using three coats with no top coat. There were 4 polish colors for this summer collection, which, consequently work perfect for this season!


First up a color called Feisty. It's a bright neon style pink. I always found the formula of this color to be a bit thick. They dry in a semi matte coat and wear well alone or with a top coat.



Next up is a color called Coral. This has always been the thickest and you have to really watch your coats on this one. Great basic summer color though. It's not to over powering but it's still flashy.
As you can see this polish is extremely thick.



Next it's one of the sheer almost jelly like colors. I enjoy the formula of this one although I'm still not on the jelly or crellies band wagon but I'm trying. I will be working on a 3D pool effect with some sheer coats and jellies tomorrow. The name of this color is Tangerine.
As you can see this is a very sheer after 3 coats. The last of this collection is just as sheer but you will see the definite color difference between Tangerine and the next color. 


Lastly we have the color Electric which is as sheer as the Tangerine but very VERY neon yellow. This is another fun one to wear and goes on so easy.


That does is for this post! Hope you enjoyed these. If you have any others from this brand I would love to hear about them! 

See you on the flip side!

Indie Polish Review: Incidental Twin

    I was incredibly lucky to win a giveaway hosted by Incidental Twin where I was able to pic out a full size polish of my choice! IT TOOK ME HOURS!!!!!! There were so many that I wanted I really started having a mental break down. HOWEVER! I did decide to go with NaNoWriMo. It's a glorious shimmery pale blue with pale blue iridescent very fine glitter in it that compliments the shade beautifully.




Now, the nail color is sheer, especially the first coat. Once you apply your second coat you'll start to see how opaque it gets. I personally did 4 thin coats hence why my free edge is slightly visible. Three  thicker coats and it would be 100% opaque. 




Over all I'm super happy with this product and can't wait together my hands on more!
