Stash Swatch Initiative: Naild'it Candy Corn

Hello!

I've got another oldie on tap today. This is Naild'It's Candy Corn from last fall.

Naild'It Candy Corn. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Candy Corn is chock full of tiny and small copper hexes. There are fewer medium matte yellow, orange, black, and white hexes in there as well, and a sparser smattering of black and white bar glitters and some extra large, white and black hexes. All together, they make up a really great looking glitter topper. Lovely for fall (hey, it's almost fall again! I'm only like 8 months behind...)!

Swatches today are one coat of Candy Corn and one coat of Gelous plus Seche Vite over yesterday's China Glaze Fast Track swatch. This swipes on easily, but I did take care to purposefully place the larger glitters for even distribution and personal aesthetic preference.

If I remember correctly, I purchased this bottle from llarowe... last fall during some Black Friday flash sales. I don't think it's currently available from Naild'It or any of their e-tailers, but check out their Facebook page for any news and updates about upcoming colors or re-releases!

Stash Swatch Initiative: Naild'It Cha Cha Checkmate

Hello hello!!

I have a very awesome polish to start the week off! This is Naild'It Cha Cha Checkmate!

This polish is awesome! It's a pink jelly with three sizes of white square glitter, small black squares, black hexes, and black micro glitter. As you can see, you can build it up to great effect or layer it for a more opaque look.

I started with a base coat of Seche Clear on all my nails. Then to show you what this polish is all about, I used two coats of China Glaze Loves a Beach on my pinky and ring finger nails to serve as undies. Once that was dry, those two nails got two coats of Cha Cha Checkmate. On the rest of my nails, I went straight for the Cha Cha Checkmate and layered three coats of that over the Seche Clear. I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite. Formula was good. The glitter stays in place and comes out of the bottle readily. I didn't have to fish out any of the larger pieces. I didn't make note of any unruly glitters either. All win!

I purchased my bottle from llarowe. As I write this, it's still available over there!

Stash Swatch Initiative: Naild'it Vegas Sands

Hello again!

Naild-It Vegas Sands. Indoors, artificial light, no flash. My camera made the blue too dark here.

This polish was a pretty big lemming of mine until recently. This is my first Naild'it polish and it is Vegas Sands!

Naild-It Vegas Sands. Indoors, artificial light, with flash. This one is more color accurate than the first.

This is a glitter bomb of micro yellow and blue matte hex glitters with some small pink shiny glitters mixed in there, all in a clear base. This is super densely packed--I used three coats of Vegas Sands with no base for swatches today, topped with a coat of Seche Vite and two coats of NYC In a New York Minute Fastdry Topcoat.

Naild-It Vegas Sands. Indoors, artificial light, no flash. Love this mix of glitter!

The formula on this is easy to work with. The glitter stays put, and I did not experience any balding or patchiness when applying additional coats. The three coats I used to get this opaque did build up a lot on the nail, so I'd layer this in the future. Maybe over something like Zoya Robyn? It took a lot of topcoat to get it smooth, but that's to be expected with so much glitter! There's a lot of surface area to cover!

Naild-It Vegas Sands. Outdoors, natural light, no flash. Cloudy day, unfortunately, bet this would be even more awesome in the sun!

I was so excited when this came. I ordered through llarowe. I am not disappointed. The Polish Hoochie, who is one of those bloggers I look up to because she rocks, has a FABULOUS comparison of Vegas Sands with other similar polishes. This was super helpful for me, because I knew I wanted something like this, but I wasn't sure which one was for me. That one swatch comparison photo made up my mind! Check it out over here!
