M Polish To Have and To Holo/ Frost comparison

Hi lovelies!

Today I have a comparison post of M Polish stamping polishes, To Have and to Holo and Frost. 

To Have and To Holo was the first holographic stamping polish released to the public by M Polish. Frost is from the Winter 2015 Collection, see my review here. You might be debating whether you need both or not. In my opinion you need both because they're not the same.

To Have and to Holo is a linear holographic stamping polish while Frost is a holographic polish with scattered platinum microflakes throughout. It can also be worn as regular polish.

My swatch below shows To Have and to Holo stamped on index and middle nails. Frost is stamped on ring and pinky nails. Both are stamped over one coat of Salon Perfect Oil Slick (black). Excuse the awkward hand pose!

You can really see the difference between the two. I think they're different enough to have both. They're both gorgeous! To Have and to Holo I purchased myself as soon as it was released because holo! What do you think of these?

M Polish will be restocking THATH and other collections for cyber monday so don't miss out! The Spring Collection will be retiring so get those before they're gone! You can see my swatches of the Spring Collection here. Warning I was still a newb at blogging and swatching back then! lol


Thank you for reading! Happy stamping :)

This collection is perfect for stamping or for wearing as traditional polish. Formula is thick but not difficult to work with. It's opaque in one easy coat or two coats if you prefer thinner coats. It dries to a dull finish but comes to life with top coat so don't skip it! This M Polish collection certainly didn't disappoint! I love them and can't pick a favorite. Which is your favorite?

Collection is available now in full size and mini. There will be a restock soon and there will be a cyber monday sale of 25% off so get ready!

Stamping on Cindy

Hi guys!

I have a special guest today. Meet Cindy, she's behind all the pretty manis you see here. She finally has the spotlight on her because she gets very neglected.

This week's prompt for #twinsietuesdaynailart on Instagram hosted by @99probsbutmynailsaint1 is to show Cindy (the hand that does all the work and never gets any love). 

Mine is pretty rough. My nails are always breaking so they're shorter than on my left hand and sadly they're peeling. My clean up still needs some work too. And can I just say how hard it is to pose and photograph this hand is!

Pet'la plate Romance

For this look I was inspired by a wallpaper found on Pinterest (pictured below). It reminded me of a Pet'la plate I have, Romance. 

I did a black base of Salon Perfect Oil Slick then stamped with MPolish Pish Plashin' Around and Dancing in the Streets. Topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.

Here is another look at my right hand right side up. What do you guys think of this look? Have you ever shown your Cindy hand on any of your social media accounts?

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading :)

Gold stamping over Sinful Colors Hot Chili

At first I didn't like this polish that much but after wearing it for a few days it kind of grew on me. It chipped so I took it off only to paint my nails with this same polish again lol. 

I give you Sinful Colors Hot Chili!!

Sinful Colors Hot Chili outdoors

This is two coats plus a generous amount of Seche Vite top coat. It looks bumpy on the nail but it's not. I think it's because the base isn't a cream but more of a metallic type finish. I love the glitter in it.

Sinful Colors Hot Chili

It has small gold holo hex glitter and some micro glitter in it. Those shots were taken in direct sunlight.

Here's an indoor shot under daylight bulbs.

I stamped over it with M Polish Guilded from the Metallics Collection using an image from Pet'la Plate Golden Russian.

What do you think of this look? Do you like Sinful Colors?

Sinful Colors is one of the mainstream brands I enjoy using. They're inexpensive and their formulas are usually really good. If you have Walgreens around you they usually have sales and you can get Sinful Colors for .99! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. See you next time!

MPolish

Hey there!

I decided to share some swatches from MPolish. If you haven't heard about MPolish then you've been living under a rock! Lol.

MPolish is an indie polish line designed for stamping. They are to be used over dark colors for a better result. I was sent a press sample of three minis from her spring collection last month. I didn't have this blog up yet though.

I decided to buy the entire line in full size. I'm so glad I did!

Left row: Starflower, Apricot Delight, Snowberry

Right row: Sweetclover, Bells of Ireland, Apple Blossom

These are like magic in a bottle. They change depending on the color of the base you choose. They look better over dark bases but you could use a lighter base for a subtle look.

I used them over Essie Licorice, black base. Plate is from Moyou London Pro XL-09

First up is Starflower. I was dying to get this one! It glows! Super easy to work with!

Next up Sweetclover. This one is like wow! In the bottle it's a yellow-gold and on the nail over black it's a light green. Love it!

This one is Apricot Delight. Another color changing polish! In the bottle it's s peachy color and on the nails looks gold almost copper!

Here's Bells of Ireland. This is one I got to use first since it was part of the press sample I received. I loved it and I fell in love with the entire line after using this one. It glows!

Here's Snowberry. A metallic white almost silver. So beautiful!

Last but not least is Apple Blossom. It looks like a sheer light pink in the bottle but on the nails it pops! It's so vibrant!

They're all my favorite! So easy to work with! It's better if they're used with dark colored stamping heads for better and precise placement. 

Here are some looks I did with three of them before I improved my lighting.
