Jade Polishes to Cure the Monday BLAHS!

Hello lovely readers! Today my husband is out of town for the next couple of days, so I was having the BLAHS! I miss him when one of us is away!!! Anywho, I decided to play in my polish and swatch some lovely Jade Polishes for you. These have been in my drawer for MONTHS, and they were the first brand of holographic polishes I bought! I think often times they get overlooked as a good holoraphic polish. So, as you can probably guess, I bough these polishes on my own and am reviewing them of my own accord. This post is my honest opinion of the polishes.

First up I have a non holographic polish from Jade. The name of this one is Vestido de Gala. It's a red leaning magenta jelly like polish with scattered tiny holographic glitters. It applies quite smoothly. I used 2 coats. The first coat did drag a little, but it evened out quite nicely in the second coat. I used HK Girl topcoat for all of the swatches.

Next up is Deja Vu. It is a really pretty light pink holographic polish. It applied nice and smooth. One coat may be enough, but I used two for these swatches. You can see a nice orange flash in the close up photo.

Finally this evening I have Hypnose. It is a bright blue leaning teal holographic polish. I had a little trouble with application with this one. I almost think it was perhaps too thick from sitting for so long. It was a little streaky and didn't even out well as you can see in one of the photos. Again, there are two coats for these swatches.

Overall Jade is a very nice polish. The holo is nice and strong in the sun, which I was unable to capture because there was no sun most of the day. The only drawback I can see with Jade is the size of the bottle. The price does make up for that though compared to other holographic polishes.

 

You can purchase these from stockists such as Llarowe, located here: http://www.llarowe.com/

 

I look forward to trying some of their crème polishes. They look really nice. For $5 a bottle the price is pretty great.

 

What do you think? Do you own any Jade polishes? Please leave me some comments with your thoughts on these! Don't forget to follow me! :)

 

Until next time~

Super Dreamy - Aly's Dream Polish

Disclaimer: The polishes reviewed in this post were sent to me by the maker with the purpose of reviewing and swatching them with my honest opinion.

Yesterday I went to my mail box with no expectations of nail mail what-so-ever. When I opened it and found a shiny pink package, I was puzzled. I saw that it was from Aly's Dream Polish and wondered if someone ordered me a present. I could not unwrap it fast enough. Inside was my press package with three beautiful colors inside! I was chosen to swatch and blog about these lovelies! EEEEEK! I was so thrilled!

I have only ever owned one other Aly's Dream Polish. I loved it, but gifted it to someone who was having a rough week and needed a RAOK (Random Act of Kindness).  The ones I received in my press pack were Dark Orchid 55, Sweet Orange 71, and Strawberry 74.

All of Aly's Dream Polish are 4 free, contain polish friendly mixing balls, contain cosmetic grade ingredients, and are cruelty free. Her FAQ states that it could smell good to some, but you should not eat it!

Let's get to the pretties, shall we?

To capture all of the beauty of this polish, this is a photo heavy post, so be warned that it may take a little bit for all the photos to load.

First up is Sweet Orange. This polish is a orange holographic polish and depending on lighting, you can see hints of pink throughout. It wet on very smoothly with no issues of dragging or bald spots. The formula was neither too thick or too thin, and had a perfect consistency for application. The photos of Sweet Orange are all two coats topped with Out the Door fast drying topcoat.

The second polish I am showing you today is Dark Orchid. Dark Orchid is a beautiful shade of purple/orchid that has flashes of pink in certain lighting. The formula was perfection and it applied very smooth. I did not experience any dragging or bald spots upon application. The photos are two coats with a top coat of Out the Door fast drying top coat.

The final Aly's Dream Polish I have for you today is Strawberry. Strawberry is a pink holographic polish that leans coral in some lighting. As with the other two, the formula was perfect. These photos are two coats with Out the Door fast drying topcoat.

Aly's Dream Polish retails for $12. It is really worth the cost. The polish was great quality and application was fantastic. If you are looking for some great holo polishes to try, these are a great start to any holo collection.
