I have 5 polishes from the new limited-edition Pixie Dust collection from Glam Polish to review for you today :)



WISH UPON A STAR

Wish Upon A Star is a multi-chrome nail polish shade which shifts between pink-purple-blue-green, with iridescent flakies and holographic glitter scattered throughout it. 
The colour shift is incredible! So STUNNING!!!

The formula is fantastic - it's packed with glitter and flakies that distribute evenly to the nail (with no need for glitter fishing) and it doesn't lay too thick on the nail. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers really well and builds up beautifully to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


TALE AS OLD AS TIME

Cinderelly, Cinderelly is a sky blue crelly nail polish shade with iridescent flakies, unicorn shimmer (that flashes gold-pink) and fine holographic micro-glitter scattered throughout it.

*  *  * 

These are the first polishes from Glam Polish that I have tried and I am OBSESSED! 
The unique colours / mix of glitter, multi-chrome, holographic, iridescence and flakies is AMAZING and seriously perfection! I also LOVE the Disney name references! 

Formula wise they're all literally flawless - they're easily opaque and apply effortlessly. They're so jam-packed with glittery goodness that they dry down slightly textured and a little dull, so applying shiny top coat over the top would be ideal. 

These polishes are so unique and fun. It's a HUGE thumbs up from me!
I definitely definitely definitely recommend trying Glam Polish!
You will not regret it!

I will most definitely be expanding my Glam Polish collection - 
I'm really keen to try "Part Of Your World" and "A Girl Worth Fighting For" which are also a part of the new Pixie Dust collection, as well as "Son Of A Beach" and "Shell No!" from the Mermaid Tails collection. Which shades will you be picking up?

OPI INFINITE SHINE GREASE COLLECTION 2018 - SWATCHES & REVIEW

OPI joins Paramount Pictures in celebrating the biggest and most iconic movie musical of the 20th Century - Grease!
OPI captures the movie's classic, fun and energetic spirit with a collection of retro, bright and deeply saturated summery hues, that are sure to look good on every skin tone
- I got chills and they're multiplying! ;)

The limited-edition Grease collection is offered in both regular nail lacquer and Infinite Shine formulas. Infinite Shine is OPI's answer to gel nails with no UV / LED light, promising up to 11 days of lasting colour and mirror shine in 3 easy steps.  
Here's how it works - 

STEP 1: PRIME

Apply one thin coat of the OPI Infinite Shine Primer base coat to prepared nails (nails completely free of polish, oils, etc).

STEP 2: LACQUER

Apply two thin coats of your desired Infinite Shine colour shade - apply just like regular nail polish. 

STEP 3: GLOSS

Apply one thin coat of the OPI Infinite Shine Glossy top coat over the colour.

*APPLICATION TIPS: Apply thin coats of polish and ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next coat. 


I have all 12 limited-edition OPI Grease Infinite Shine shades to review for you today :)

A beautiful and classic shade of red. 
Nothing too unique about this one, but it's a good'un! 

The formula is perfect! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail.

HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO OPI

Hopelessly Devoted to OPI is a pastel coral-peach-pink nail polish shade. 
I am "hopelessly devoted to" these kinds of shades. 
A lovely everyday nail polish colour that will look amazing on all skin tones. 

The formula is nice. 
It applies a little patchy, but is still easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats, depending on application and personal preference (my swatch shows two coats).


FRENCHIE LIKES TO KISS?

Frenchie Likes To Kiss? is a pale lilac purple nail polish shade with a subtle purple shimmer scattered throughout it.
I am obsessed!! The shimmer is barely-there on the nail but it's a lovely shade of purple nonetheless!

It has a crelly formula, and applies ever so slightly patchy. 
Application is still effortless and it glides onto the nails nice and evenly.

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats. 


DON'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILKSHAKES

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milkshakes is a vanilla white nail polish shade, with a green undertone to it. 
I love a good white nail polish, and the slight green tone gives this one a little something extra. Really digging this one!

The formula is fantastic - much better then I was expecting!

It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats depending on application and personal preference (my swatch shows two coats).

MEET A BOY CUTE AS CAN BE

Meet a Boy Cute As Can Be is a pale buttercup yellow nail polish shade. 
Literally the first yellow nail polish I actually like and doesn't make me look Jaundice! 
I could see myself wearing it! It's such a pretty tone of yellow!

The formula is really nice, especially for a yellow (yellow nail polish are notorious for having bad formulas). It applies ever so slightly patchy, but application is still effortless and it glides onto the nails nice and evenly.

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats, depending on application and personal preference (my swatch shows two coats).


WAS IT ALL JUST A DREAM?

Was it All Just a Dream? is a pastel turquoise green nail polish shade. 
Love love love this colour! A crowd pleaser for sure!

TEAL ME MORE, TEAL ME MORE 

Teal Me More, Teal Me More is a pigmented teal green nail polish shade. 
LOL at the name of this one - I can hear the song in my head!

The formula is perfect! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well. 

It's super pigmented*, covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one thin coat! AMAZING!

*It's so pigmented I would definitely recommend wearing and couple of coats of base coat to avoid green staining. 
For the record, it didn't stain my nails, but I would still wear base coat just to be safe (no one likes Smurf hands!)

CHILLS ARE MULTIPLYING!

Chills Are Multiplying! is an ink blue nail polish shade with a beautiful lighter blue shimmer scattered throughout it. 
I always love icy sapphire blue nails! I have to admit, this one does look nicer in the bottle than it actually does on the nail (in my personal opinion), but it's still super pretty. 
You can catch the pretty shimmer in direct sunlight and it's glorious! I think this one would look lovely matte.

The formula is fantastic! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats. 


DANNY & SANDY 4 EVER

Danny & Sandy 4 Ever is a shimmery metallic charcoal grey nail polish shade with silver, blue and purple shimmer scattered throughout it. Very similar in concept to OPI Coalmates from the Love OPI XOXO collection from last year (it's not an exact dupe). 
Very very pretty! The shimmery particles look so cool! I'm getting serious leather jacket vibes. 

The formula is lovely! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well. 

It covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats, depending on personal preference. 

*  *  *

I think this collection encapsulates the movie Grease perfectly - the names and the colours are seriously perfection! I am really enjoying the colour palette and loving the retro, yet modern, vibes it gives off. 

The formulas of the polishes in this collection were generally good, I had no issues with application, and they build up to opacity beautifully.
I also really enjoy the Infinite Shine three-step system and do experience substantially longer-lasting manicures when using it. 
Definitely recommend... - let's be real, I'm hopelessly devoted to OPI ;)

I really like every shade in this collection, but my personal favourites are; "You're the Shade That I Want", "Pink Ladies Rule the School", "Frenchie Likes To Kiss?", "Don't Cry Over Spilled Milkshakes", "Meet a Boy Cute As Can Be" & "Chills Are Multiplying!". 

I am sure there is a shade in this collection for everyone!
