6 Harts Polish and Nail Art

Good morning, dear readers! I am on a roll this week with posts! Doing nail art posts that I used to not add to my schedule really threw my postings off for me, so I have a few posts in progress that I really want to get up this week. I picked up Montana Sunrise and Rio Helado from 6 Harts Polish, and I'm excited to share my photos with you!

Montana Sunrise
It's no secret that I love orange polish, so when I first saw Montana Sunrise, I knew I needed to get my hands on it! The burnt orange base boasts beautiful pink flakes to just an extra touch of colour. I used three easy coats for these photos.

Rio Helado
Indoor Lighting
Sunlight
I am crazy about teal polishes, and this dark blue-leaning teal caught my attention as well. It contains some holographic pigment to get a nice scattered holo effect. I used three smooth coats for these photos.

I love these shades, and I knew they needed to be worn together!
I created this simple nail art look using both the shades swatched above from 6 Harts Polish, Color Club Who Are You Wearing?, and the wavy lines vinyl nail decals from KBShimmer. I had a little trouble with one of the decals sticking and not wanting to come off my nail easily, but other than that, I really like the way this came out!

What colours are you wearing this fall? Would you wear either of these shades from 6 Harts? I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
XO!

Cupcake Polish: Welcome to Burlesque Trio Collection

Good evening, dear readers! I'm back already! I have the stunning Welcome to Burlesque Trio by Cupcake Polish to share with you, and I just couldn't hold back any longer! This trio is made for and sold exclusively at Mei Mei's Signatures, and you're going to want these beauties! I really enjoy the movie Burlesque, and I found myself singing the songs while I was swatching these polishes and editing the photos. I can pretty much guarantee I'll be singing them again as I write this post. Haha! Let's check out these lovely colours!

I adore this bright silvery polish, and the pink shimmer adds another fun dimension to it. I used two smooth coats of the Cupcake Polish and topped my nails off with Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat for these photos.

You Haven't Seen the Last Of Me

 I usually like black holographic polishes in general, but this one is filled with green microflakes that really makes it spectacular. It is definitely my favorite black holo polish ever! I used two easy coats plus HK Girl topcoat for these photos.

Show Me How You Burlesque

Sunlight
I've been drawn towards warm gold shades lately, and this flake-filled one is breathtaking. The flakes are much larger and more apparent in Show Me How You Burlesque than those found in the other polishes in this trio, and I am ecstatic that you can see them so easily! Like the others in this trio, the formula was really nice and easy to work with. I used two coats of polish on my nails and topped them off with HK Girl topcoat for these photos.

These three beautiful shades are currently available at Mei Mei's Signatures website. You can buy the colours individually, or you can buy the trio together and save a little money. I really like all three shades in this trio, and I don't think I could pick a favorite!

Do you have any of these colours from Cupcake Polish? Which is your favorite? I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful night!

Elevation Polish Hawaiian Punch Collection Swatches

Happy Monday, dear readers! I hope everyone had a great Halloween and weekend! The highlight of my weekend was taking my toddler trick-or-treaking in his crab costume. We went out last year for his first Halloween, but seeing the wonderment in his eyes at all the decorations and all people that thought he was so cool he could have all the candy he wanted (or at least I presume that is what was going through his little head) was so much fun! I had made a crab hat to wear so we could match, and while I'm sure I looked ridiculous, but it was well worth it! Now let's get to today's post!

I have been really impressed with the quality of polishes from Elevation Polish, and I am thrilled to be sharing more with you this morning. For today's post, I have the new Hawaiian Punch Collection that launches this Friday night. Let's check them out!

Purple Queen Anthias
All the shades in this collection is stunning, but Purple Queen Anthias is probably my favorite. It's a stunning pinky purple with beautiful shimmer! I used two easy coats for these photos.

Kilauea
Lulu makes some of the most amazing cream polishes! I'm really digging this pink-leaning coral shade! The formula is smooth and creamy (ha!), and I used two coats for these photos.

Bromeliad
Indoor Lighting
Sunlight
I'm pretty crazy about this gorgeous berry holographic shade. Like the other shades in this collection, the formula was impeccable! I used two easy coats for these photos.

Kaihalulu
Wowza! Kaihalulu is the perfect black cherry shade for the fall and the upcoming holidays. It also has beautiful microshimmer to make it sparkle. I used two coats for these photos.

Sunset Among the Palms
Indoor Lighting
Sunlight
Sunset Among the Palms is in the same colour family as Bromeliad only a lighter base colour. The holographic effect is subtle, and you can really appreciate the beautiful microflakes. This is my other favorite in the collection! The sun decided to hide from me and barely came out for the sunlight photo showing here. I used two smooth coats for these photos.

Wai'anapanapa
Wai'anapanapa is another great dark shade for fall! The black base is packed with pink and purple flake shimmer for nice subtle pops of colour. I used two easy coats for these photos.

I'm really loving this new collection! The colours are so bright and colourful!

The Hawaiian Punch Collection launches at the Elevation Polish store here this Friday, November 7th at 9pm Central time. You can check out this link to see the current time in Minnesota.

Which colours are you planning to gran this week? I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
