Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Tutti Fruitti"


Hello all ad happy Sunday!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Insta Dri's "Tutti Frutti" which was a fun collaboration with Jelly Belly Jelly Beans.  Look at this insane glitter in the bottle:


"Tutti Frutti" is a really fun light pink jelly with rainbow chunky glitter throughout - it looks amazing!  The formula of this polish is slightly watery which meant it took several think coats to build up the look - but it also meant the glitter had a fun layered look.  After three coats "Tutti Fruity" was entirely opaque and streak free.  Here's how the glitter looks up close:


Overall I really like Sally Hansen Insta Dri's "Tutti Frutti."  This chunky glitter is fun and perfect for Spring and Summer!  I can't wait to wear this polish again soon!

"Boom Box" is a bright cerulean blue creme - perfect for a sunny Summer day!  The formula of this polish is good and applied well to my nails.  While "Boom Box" is a creme it was not as opaque as I had expected it to be, but after three coats it was fully opaque.  There were no streak marks and my nails looked pretty!  Here's how "Boom Box" looks up close:

Dupes: OPI "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes" and Essie "All Daisy Long"


Hi guys and happy Thursday!  Today's post is a comparison of OPI's "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes" and Essie's "All Daisy Long."  Here's how these nail polishes stack up next to each other:

Essie "All Daisy Long" and OPI "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes"

Both polishes are white shimmers, though OPI's "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes" has some additional iridescent micro glitter on top of the shimmer.  Essie's "All Daisy Long" has a warmer red/yellow shimmer while OPI's "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes" has a cooler blue tone.  Formula wise both are good and apply well to my nails.  Both polishes required three coats of polish.  Here's how they look up close on my nails:


If you want to know more about OPI "Dancing Keeps Me On My Toes" or Essie "All Daisy Long" be sure to check out my previous posts!

Overall both Essie's "Ally Daisy Long" and OPI's "Dancing Keep Me On My Toes" are great polishes, however they are not exact dupes.  They are very similar but the additional glitter in the OPI polish just makes it sparkle.  That being said I will keep both in my collection as they make great Summertime polishes!

Cadillaquer "Viserion"


Hey everyone and happy Friday!  Long time no post - June had a lot going on and I needed to focus my energy in other places.  (But I'm back now!)  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Cadillaquer's "Viserion" which I purchased from December 2019's Polish Pick-Up.  Look at this stunning polish up in the bottle:


"Viserion" is a royal purple jelly with purple, blue and red glitter throughout.  This color is absolutely gorgeous and looked great on my nails!  The formula of "Viserion" was perfect and applied nicely.  Since this polish is a jelly I applied three coats to build up the purple base - however it was opaque after two coats.  Look at this amazing indie polish up close:


Overall I am in love with Cadillaquer's "Viserion."  Absolutely everything about this nail polish is perfect and I plan to wear it a lot more!  I also want to get my hands on additional polishes by this fantastic Indie brand!
