Hello lovelies!

Oceania:

Two coats plus top coat. This polish has small circle and square glitters and fine micro glitter through out in a blue jelly base. Definitely reminds me of ocean water.

One coat over a black base plus top coat. This is a flakie glitter topper. Has flakie glitters in various shapes and colors. Reminds me of the fish scales in Rainbow Fish.

One last look at all the macros together


Overall I really liked and enjoyed this collection. Even though these are minis I had no problem with the formula on any of them. I didn't have to fish (lol fish) for any glitter on any either. My favorite is Oceania. I was very excited about swatching that one and I was not dissapointed at all. I have plans for doing nail art with these so keep an eye out on my Instagram for that :)

What do you think of this collection? Do you have a favorite? Will you be purchasing your own on release date?

Collection will launch on July 11th. Full size collection (12ml) will retail for $30, individuals for $7. Full collection in mini (5ml) will retail for $15 and individuals for $3.50.

Babewatch:

Neon pink crelly with blue hex and circle glitter. It's very bright but I couldn't capture that! I did two coats plus Seche Vite top coat. No fishing for glitter here either.

Macro



All Twerk & No Play:

Neon orange crelly with light blue? Silver? Hex glitters in various sizes. Two coats plus Seche Vite top coat. Another super bright hard to capture polish. But you can see it made my skin tone darker so that should tell you that it's bright!

Macro



Cheers Comes The Sun:

Neon yellow crelly with blue/teal hex and circle glitter. So bright! I did three thin coats plus Seche Vite top coat.

Macro



Just Take It Breezy:

Neon green crelly with matte white and pink glitter in various shapes and sizes.
Two coats plus Seche Vite top coat.

Macro



Turn Over A New Reef:

This one is a bit brighter in real life. It has neon green matte glitter in various shapes and sizes. I did two coats plus Seche Vite top coat.

Macro



Dazed & Enthused:

Pretty purple crelly with matte glitter in various shapes and sizes. I did two coats plus Seche Vite top coat.

Macro


And there you have it. The complete Life's A Beach Collection. I can't decide which one is my favorite! I had no problems with the formula or with fishing for glitter. It's a different take on neon polish for sure!

What do you guys think of this collection? Do you have a favorite?

Glam Glaze Graffiti Collection

Hey there lovelies!

Today I have for you swatches of Glam Glaze Graffiti Collection. This collection consists of 6 neon creme polishes and 1 glitter topper.


For all these swatches I did 3 thin coats plus top coat. No white undie. I tried to get color accurate photos but that's a bit tricky with neons.



Paint-Eater Pink:
This is a neon hot pink creme polish. I did three thin coats on it's own plus top coat. 

One-Liner Orange:
Super bright orange creme polish . Three thin coats on it's own plus top coat.

End to End Yellow:
Super bright yellow with slight shimmer in it. Three thin coats on it's own plus top coat.

Getting Up Green:
Bright green creme. Three thin coats on it's own plus top coat.

Back to Back Blue:
This is actually brighter in real life. I couldn't get a color accurate photo of this one. I used three thin coats on it's own plus top coat. Two coats would've been fine.

Piece Purple:
This one isn't color accurate either. Much brighter in real life. Three thin coats on it's own plus top coat. This would've been fine with two coats also.

Graffiti Topper:

This glitter topper has a mix of black and white glitters in varying shapes and sizes. I used only one coat over the watermarble accent nail.

Oh yes they watermarble beautifully! I actually don't have anything that watermarbles this great, except for 4 of the Maybelline bleached neons from last year.

You can find Glam Glaze on Instagram. Her shop link is in her bio or you can search for her shop on storenvy.com

I recommend you get a full size as I find the minis a bit tricky to work with.

Check out my Instagram @anas_manis or check back here tomorrow for some nail art with this collection :)

See you soon!
