Orly "Blend"

Hi guys!  Happy Leap Day!  I like leap years because the extra day is always a nice bonus!  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Orly's "Blend."

"Blend" is a very pretty dusty lavender color that is very natural and neutral.  Formula wise this nail polish is good but leans a bit to the thick side which meant I couldn't get even layers on my nails.  After two coats of polish "Blend" was completely opaque but there were some visible streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Blend" for about three days before there were obvious chips.

Overall I have mixed feeling on Orly's "Blend."  I love the color but it was a bit difficult to apply and it chipped pretty quickly for a polish that took me a while to put on.  I will probably wear "Blend" again and maybe with practice it will be easier to apply.

SpaRitual "Intuition"

Hi all!  Today's nail polish is a new to me brand called SpaRitual which I picked up at my local ULTA store.  The brand retails for around $12 (USD) a bottle and is a five-free and Vegan friendly nail polish.  (Which is nice since I never really thought about how a Vegan may be unable to use certain products, an oversight on my part.)  So without further ado today's nail polish is SpaRitual's "Intuition."

"Intuition" is a gorgeous deep purple nail polish featuring a dark blue shimmer.  Formula wise this nail polish is good, but slightly on the watery side.  After two coats, "Intuition" was almost completely opaque, but there were a few streak marks and uneven spots.  As for chipping I was only able to wear "Intuition" for about two days before it started to rub off the tips of my nails, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall I am slightly disappointed by SpaRitual's "Intuition."  The color is gorgeous and the polish was easy enough to apply but it had streak marks and it chipped very quickly.  Since the biggest problem with "Intuition" was chipping I would be willing to give this nail polish another go, and maybe next time it will last longer on my nails.

Candie's "Disco Chic"

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is enjoying February and looking forward to Spring arriving soon!  Today I decided to pull out a super fun chunky glitter polish and that polish is Candie's "Disco Chic."

"Disco Chic" is a shiny purple chunky glitter polish in a clear base!  Formula wise this nail polish was surprisingly easy to apply for a glitter polish.  As with most glitters it wasn't meant to be opaque and instead was meant to be worn as a top coat, so I decided to test it out over some other nail polishes.  Here's how it turned out:

The nail polish I decided to test out with "Disco Chic" is China Glaze's "Wanderlust" which is a pastel lavender colored polish with a gold shimmer.  The combination of purples turned out fantastic and looked so nice together.

If you want to know more about China Glaze's "Wanderlust" check out my post from earlier this year here.

Overall I am very pleased with Candie's "Disco Chic."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic from the color to the application!  I definitely plan on wearing this nail polish again soon!

Essie "Fall In Line"

Hi all!  While Autumn is long gone and Winter is almost over, I couldn't help but pull out a lovely Autumn colored polish!  (It's kind of fitting though since it is pouring rain in North Carolina right now!)  So today's nail polish is Essie's "Fall In Line."

"Fall In Line" is an interesting dusty grey-green nail polish.  Formula wise "Fall In Line" was nice and easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  Actually "Fall In Line" could almost be a one-coater, which I always love in a nail polish!  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Fall In Line" for about five full days before there were some small tip chips.

Overall I am very pleased with Essie's "Fall In Line."  Everything about this nail polish is nice, with my favorite part being that it can be worn as a one-coater!  I will definitely be wearing "Fall In Line" a lot more often when Autumn rolls back around.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Bold Gold"

Hi everyone!  I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  Here in north Carolina the weather has been in the 50's and 60's this weekend and it feels amazing after a long cold Winter!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Bold Gold."

"Bold Gold" is a fun chunky glitter polish that has black and gold glitter in a clear base.  The glitter comes in small, medium and large hexagonal glitter and some bar glitter.  Formula wise this polish is a bit watery and it was quite difficult to get the glitter out of the bottle and on to my nails.  However once the glitter is on the nail it looks really nice!  Since "Bold Gold" is meant to be worn as a top coat over colored polishes I am not sure how long it would last before chipping off.

With "Bold Gold" being a top coat I decided to test it out over Sephora by OPI's "Iris I Was Thinner."  The combination turned out quite nicely and the purple showed off the glitter quite nicely.

If you want to know more about "Iris I Was Thinner" check out my post from earlier this year here.

Overall I have mixed feelings about Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Bold Gold."  The glitter looked great on my nail and on top of colored polishes but it was annoying trying to get the glitter out of the bottle and on to my nail.  However despite the difficulty I will probably wear "Bold Gold" again once I figure out a better way to apply glitter polishes.

Sephora by OPI "Iris I Was Thinner"

Hi all!  So I was digging through my collection of nail polishes and came across an older nail polish that I have yet to try!  So I decided there was no time like the present, which means today's polish is Sephora by OPI's "Iris I Was Thinner."  Sephora by OPI is a brand of nail polish that OPI used to produced for Sephora stores.  It was discontinued a little more than two years ago.

"Iris I Was Thinner" is a lovely purple colored creme polish.  The formula of "Iris I Was Thinner" was pretty good but it was slightly difficult to apply because the brush is so thin and tiny!  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Iris I Was Thinner" for about four full days before there were some small tip chips.

Overall I am quite pleased with Sephora by OPI's "Iris I Was Thinner."  Most everything about this nail polish is great, with the only minor problem being the tiny brush that has to be used to apply the polish!  But while the brush is small it didn't cause too much of a problem.  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish some more as Spring and Summer arrive!

Sinful Colors "Ring The Bellini"

Hi everyone and a very happy Wednesday!  This Wednesday is a very exciting day because one of my best friend's is picking out her wedding dress!  So here's to wedding dress shopping with today's nail polish, which is Sinful Color's "Ring The Bellini."

"Ring The Bellini" is a bright orange jelly.  (A jelly is a nail polish that is not opaque and is typically extra shiny.)  The formula of "Ring The Bellini" was pretty good and it was easy to apply.  after two coats of polish, "Ring The Bellini" was not opaque  but there were no streak marks.  As for chipping I was only able to wear this polish for about a two days before there were some very obvious tip chips.

Overall I have mixed feelings about Sinful Color's "Ring The Bellini."  Most everything was nice about this polish like the color and formula.  But it was annoying that it chipped so quickly.  Also I'm not always a huge fan of jelly polishes because they aren't opaque.  But I am willing to give "Ring The Bellini" another go.
