Proper Polish "Juicy Gems" collection

Press Sample

Hi!! 

I'm back with another awesome collection! Michelle also sent me this collection to swatch and I gotta say that I LOVE IT!

This collection is called Juicy Gems and guess what?! It's a thermal collection! whatttt! LOL.. These are actually the first thermals I try! I've used color change before but the one activated by the sun, not water.

Any who... This collection comes with 5 polishes. One of the many things I love about them is that they are HOLO. 

So let me get started with the complete collection:

Proper Polish Nail Lacquer: Juicy Gems collection

First polish from this collection is Water Berry POP!. A bright neon coral pink when warm to a light coral pink when cold. I used 2 coats for this polish. The change is not too noticeable but it is there. It's such a lovely coral and I love how it compliments my skin tone.. At least I think so.... lol. Cold color changes at 85 degree Fahrenheit or colder.

Second we have Sour Tangerine. I did 2 coats. Love how the formula is with these polishes. Very easy to apply. This polish changes from a neon yellow when warm to an orange when cold. The combination of both colors actually reminded me of that halloween candy in a shape of a triangle.. not sure what you call it...lol. I love how fast this color transitions from one to the other. Cold color changes at 85 degrees Farenheit or colder.

Third of the collection is A Blue Blackberry. I LOVEE this one! One of my faves. This polish goes from blue when warm to a deep purple when cold. This was so much fun to play around with. 2 coats. The holoness is even more noticeable on this polish. It's a beautiful color! Cold color changes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.

Next up is Raisins are Grapes. With 2 coats I was able to achieve the look I wanted. This polish goes from a bright purple when warm to a dark purple. This dark purple is different from the purple in A Blue Blackberry. Its softer. Cold color changes at 85 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.

Lastly, we have Sour Apple. I applied 2 coats for my swatch. This really reminds me of green apples! It's such a lovely neon green. Color changes from a light neon green when warm, to a brighter neon green when cold. You will need to have the cold water at 85 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for the change to take effect.

Overall, I love this collection. I've always wanted to try thermal colors so I was so happy to swatch these for Michelle. She did an excellent job with these. I've heard that working with thermals can be pretty tricky when making polishes, so I am sure she worked extra hard on these!. I love the formula for this collection. Very easy to apply and it went on smoothly.

If you still don't follow her on IG, please do so. I will post her links to her IG and her shop at the bottom. She is always having great sales so be sure to follow for more updates and info. Again, this collection, along with Frankly Awesome, that I also swatched (You can view Frankly Awesome swatches here.) will be releasing on 8/18 so mark your calendars so you won't be left out of these pretties!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Until next mani!

Here are more indie polishes!

I gotta say, that from the minute that Michelle posted pictures of these polishes I fell in love with them and I wanted them! So I patiently waited for their release date! And when they came out, I quickly jumped to snag some! I'm talking about three of the 4 that I bought. The other one I always wanted but it's not from her most recent collection. And she was so kind and generous to gift me two minis from her recent collection! She is such a sweetheart! (Thank you Michelle!)

I couldn't wait for a day off from work so I could swatch these! I was behind on swatching and now I'm a bit caught up so I am happy now! 

Can you believe that I've been dreaming with polishes!? I have it bad! lol.... But hey, polishes make me happy and they relax me from the day to day stress... so.... there! lol

Any way, I know you want to see all these pretties so here are the pictures!

Barbie Crack from Proper Polish

This gorgeous hot neon pink is called Barbie Crack! lol... love the name! I used two coats for this swatch. Love the scattered holo glitter in it! I know you can't really see it but I promise its there! I'm kind of sad that the camera won't capture its true color! But It is a gorgeous neon pink! This is one of the polishes that I fell in love with when she first posted sneak peaks!

LOOOVEE this purple! Like I said before, the camera won't capture its true color... :-/  Like Barbie Crack, it its filled with scattered holo glitter and I used two easy coats! I love anything purple!

What? you want more!? Well, here you go...

Neon Cheese Please from Proper Polish

I'm not much of an orange person, but when I saw this one I was like I WANT IT NOW! Again, it looks so much prettier in person... My camera hates bright colors... I need to fire her!.. But yup, lovely orange! It was love at first sight... Literally! And the scattered holo in it... <3 I gotta say, that with these three, from her latest collection, you can get away with one coat. But I used two! =)

Here's the last one of my purchase...

Midnight Sky from Proper Polish

I love this one! I wanted to get it with my first purchase I made from Michelle but you know... I had to limit myself... lol... So, now I finally own it! This is a black polish filled pretty glitters and stars!! It has a blue shimmer that makes it look sooo pretty! (that's what I first loved about it! the blue shimmer!) I did two coats and no fishing for stars.

Midnight Sky from Proper Polish

You thought I was done huh!? lol... Well, I have two more to show you and these are the two that she gifted to me, they are also from her recent collection.

Solar Flare from Proper Polish

For Solar Flare I used 4 coats but you can do 3. This polish is sooo sparkly... The best part is that its scented!!!! I had totally forgot that she had scented polish and when I started smelling it I thought I was going crazy! lol... The scent for this one is COFFEE! Who doesn't love coffee?? I'm not a big coffee drinker but I do love the smell. I love that!!

Space Dust from Proper Polish

Lastly, we have Space Dust. It looks like a light blue on pictures but its actually a teal color glitter. It also has black and silver triangles and blue stars. Very sparkly and pretty! 

So that is it for this haul! I love all these polishes. Michelle did an amazing job with her new collection and I look forward to more! If you would like to check her out (please do!), her links are below!

Candied Apple Polish

Purchased by Me

Hello Ladies!

It's been a while since I've written a blog post.. oops... sorry.... hehe

Well, anyway, today I would like to share with you my opinion on some polishes I purchased from an indie gal.

This was my first purchase from Alison (CandiedApplePolish) and I gotta say, I love all the polishes I got! 4 to be exact! 

I love how they were all easy to apply and how they didn't require any fishing! And let me tell you, the price for these was amazing! A great deal!

First impressions: I love the logo! It's a cute smiley apple! and the label is clear so you're able to see the color of the polish and all its glitter goodness. So, I have to say that I'll be buying from her again! I'm already compiling a list of the polishes I want next! If you still haven't checked her out, you are truly missing out! I will add links to her IG and her shop at the end! In the mean time, enjoy these pictures!

This is a gorgeous blue with a hint of black glitter. I love how you can use only ONE coat and you're ready! But, I used two coats because I wanted to add more glitter to my swatch! I love how it looks and I love how it was easy to apply!

Hi Ladies!

This is a gorgeous minty green filled with micro hexes in shifting rainbow! I just love how classy this color is.

Sorry the picture looks a bit dark, I tried going outside to get a sun shot but it's a cloudy day... :-( 

This is 1 of the 5 polishes from the Garden of Eden collection. All the colors from this collection are soft and gorgeous! You can't go wrong with this collection.

I am in love with the colors Karen came up with for this collection. She always goes above and beyond when creating a new collection. I am hooked! I always go back to her shop to look at all the pretties she has, even if I already own them, I love looking at the other ladies' swatches! (Link to her shop is here)

So, I did this mani yesterday but didn't take pictures because I had lost the daylight. So I was excited to wake up and snap some pictures of this prettyful polish!

Had to add a little prop! I love how the flower makes the color pop!!

See how you can see the micro hexes??! Again, no sun to show them more but you get the idea!

I always love to include bottle shots! I don't know why... LOL. Maybe because the bottle completes the look!

And last, I'll leave you with this video of the bottle and mani!
