TOY NAIL POLISH - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Add a burst of colour to your day with TOY nail polish. 

TOY nail polish have great formulas and are highly pigmented, they're super shiny and glossy and are not streaky.

They also dry extremely fast! According to TOY it only takes approximately fifty seconds for the first coat of polish to dry and one and a half minutes for the second coat of polish to dry, with a total hardening time of only seven minutes - awesome!

I tried out some TOY polish manicures for a full week, without a topcoat and it resulted in some minimal chipping and just some general tip wear - amazing! With added topcoat it could even last double the time. 

Some other things you might be interested to know are that TOY cares for you and our planet. TOY nail polishes are not tested on animals and are 100% cruelty free. Their polishes are also 3-Free / free from commonly used toxic ingredients including Dibutyl Phthalate, Formaldehyde, Toluene, Camphor and acetone, and the actual nail polish bottles are made of recycled glass! How awesome is that?!

Here are some nail swatches of the colours i tried.

ROSADO NEON
Rosado Neon is a bright electric neon pink nail polish colour. This polish covers amazingly well and takes only one coat of nail polish to look opaque, provided you use a thick enough coat, otherwise two thin coats of polish will achieve full opacity - i find that the more coats you apply and build up, the more vibrant the colour looks. 
This polish colour is highly pigmented and has a perfect smooth and creamy formula, which is awesome especially for a neon polish. 
I love how bright this colour looks on the actual nail without needing a white base colour for it to look as bright as it does in the bottle (unlike most neon polishes i have tried in the past). The polish, like most neon polishes, dries semi matte but still looks great. You could go either way with this polish - leave it as it is or top it off with a matte or shiny topcoat depending on your preference. 
It's such a fun and bright colour great for summer.I seriously cannot say enough great things about this polish, definitely a 10 / 10 in my eyes - love it!  

LIMA
Lima is a creamy pastel green-yellow nail polish colour - the colour kind of looks like the inside of an avocado to me. This bold polish is highly pigmented and has a nice smooth and creamy formula. It only takes two thin coats of polish to achieve full opacity. The formula is perfect with even coverage with each coat of polish. 
This colour really has me stumped... it isn't a nail polish colour i would normally gravitate towards but i kind of like it...it just works. It's a colour you could get away with wearing all year round without it being too bright or too dark for a season in the year. 

AZUL CLARO
Azul Claro is an electric neon blue (kind of Aqua) nail polish colour. This polish has a nice smooth formula but appears a little more thin and runny compared to the other polishes - however this was not an issue as the polish applied perfectly, it was just a little more sheer. This polish takes two - three coats to become opaque depending on how thick your application of the coats of polish are. This polish is super glossy, even without a coat of topcoat. I love this colour, it's so vibrant and great for summer and spring to add a splash of colour to your day. When i wore this polish i got so many compliments and i totally understand why - it's gorgeous! 

DORADO
Dorado is a beautiful gold metallic nail polish colour with silver shimmer running throughout it. This polish has an amazing smooth formula that glides onto the nail. It only takes two coats to achieve fully opacity. The polish covers evenly with the two coats of polish with no issues of streak marks or patches. 
I'm a sucker for metallic polishes so i've tried a lot of them, but this has one of the best metallic formula's i have ever tried - i love it!
This is a great polish colour to add some bling and shine to your day. By even just painting one accent nail with this polish, it will surely add some sparkle to your day.

DIAMOND COCKTAIL - SHINY TOPCOAT 
Diamond Cocktail is a gel-like shiny topcoat...it actually is really shiny and glossy.  
This topcoat is so smooth and effortlessly glides straight onto the nail. One coat of topcoat applied to any manicure sets the colour, smooths the nail, assists in the longevity and wear of a manicure and provides instant shine. It is super glossy which i absolutely love and dries incredibly fast. Once your base nail polish colour has dried, the topcoat won't smudge any nail art or pick up the colour, creating the perfect shiny manicure. 
Your nails will literally glisten like a diamond - love love love it and definitely recommend! I've found my new go-to topcoat. It's just perfect!
