OPALLAC GEL POLISH PASTEL PALETTE - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Spring is here, which means it's time to bring out the pastels! Treat yourself to a lavish pastel mani with the NEW Opallac pastel palette!

Opallac is the Australian gel nail innovation promising glamorous salon quality gel nail colour; designed to last up to 14 days. The unique Opallac Gel formula glides on like normal nail polish and sets instantly like gel when cured by the revolutionary Opallac LED nail lamp.

NO dry time! NO chipping! NO smudges! It's easy, AND it can be done at home! Opallac is also proudly Vegan, Cruelty free and 10-free!!

I have the NEW Opallac Pastel Palette, made up of four perfectly pastel gel polish shades, to review for you today :)

 FROSTED 

Frosted is a pastel blue gel polish shade.

Who doesn't love a dreamy pastel blue? I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be obsessed with this shade. Gorgeous!

 MARSHMALLOW 

Marshmallow is a pastel pink gel polish shade.

Nothing too unique about the colour, but you can NEVER go wrong with a pastel pink, and this is a good one! So pretty!!

 LOVENDER 

Lovender is a pastel purple gel polish shade.

It's pastel. It's purple. Need I say more?.. You need it!

 BUTTERMILK 

Buttermilk is a pastel yellow gel polish shade.

Now, I don't generally rock yellow nails, as I personally think they make me look jaundice, but this one is super wearable! Such a lovely tone of yellow and has an amazing formula! I suspect this shade will be a favourite for many. Would also look great on darker skin. 

*  *  * 

I am OBSESSED with this palette! Opallac have seriously nailed it again with these perfectly plush pastels. 

As per usual, the formulas of these lavish pastels are lovely. I love how smooth and evenly Opallac polishes apply as well as how easily opaque they are - you would think that these kinds of lighter pastel shades would be difficult to apply, but all four pastels apply beautifully, are opaque in two thin easy coats, and cure perfectly under the Opallac LED nail lamp.

As always, I highly recommend trying out Opallac and I am not being paid to do so! I just genuinely rate their products. 

A fantastic option if you're looking for a quick and easy salon-quality DIY gel manicure you can do at home - literally no skills required for application or removal!

For more information on Opallac, I have an honest and detailed Blog Post reviewing the Gel System, along with some of my tips and tricks to achieving the perfect gel manicure at home, linked here - I wrote that review in 2016, and maintain every word!

JESSICA COSMETICS PHENOM SWEET TALK SPRING TREATS COLLECTION - SWATCHES & REVIEW

 A 'phenomenal' evolution in polish technology, exclusively formulated for salon professionals, PHENOM is JESSICA Cosmetics' answer to gel nails with no UV / LED light; promising up to 10 days of lasting colour and gel-like shine.

It's fast, it shines, it lasts and it can be achieved in in 3 easy steps.  
Here's how it works - 

STEP 1: BASE COAT

Apply two thin coats of any JESSICA base coat to prepared nails (nails completely free of polish, oils, etc) - this will ensure maximum adhesion and wear.

STEP 2: PHENOM COLOUR

Apply two thin coats of your desired JESSICA Phenom colour - apply just like regular nail polish. 

STEP 3: FINALE SHINE

Apply one thin coat of the JESSICA Finale Shine top coat over the colour - this sets and cures the colour giving it a gel-like shine (no lamp needed! It hardens with natural light exposure!)


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


All JESSICA nail colours are Cruelty Free, Vegan and 7-Free which means they are free from nasty chemicals like Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, DBP, Camphor, Xylene and Ethyl Tosylamide - so they are gentle on you and the environment!


I have the JESSICA Phenom Sweet Talk collection to try and review for you today :)

  U HAD ME AT HELLO  

U Had Me at Hello is a coral pink nail polish shade.

I say you can never go wrong with pink nails. This one is perfect for the warmer weather. Would also make for a cute pedicure. 

Opaque in one thin coat!

  SMOOTH TALKER  

Smooth Talker is a baby blue nail polish shade.

I always enjoy this tone of blue. The formula of this one is quite possibly the best I've tried for this kind of shade. A crowd pleaser for sure!

Opaque in one - two thin coats.

  TELL ME MORE  

Tell Me More is a a taupe grey/purple nail polish shade with a super fine pink-blue shimmer scattered throughout it.

Now this one has me starstruck! Super pretty! The shimmer is definitely apparent in person and literally glows off the nails.

Opaque in one - two thin coats.

*  *  * 

As per usual, JESSICA Cosmetics have nailed this collection - the colour selection and formulas of these polishes are simply perfection!

JESSICA polishes are available in classic and trend-setting shades with a huge variety of finishes including; creme, matte, metallic, glitter, opalescent, sheer and frost.
I cannot wait to try out some more! Definitely recommend!
