Stash Swatch Initiative: China Glaze Sun-Kissed

Hello!

I have yet another neon polish from last year's China Glaze Summer Neons Collection. This one is Sun-kissed.

China Glaze Sun-kissed. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
Sun-kissed is a super neon yellow with a matching shimmer. This yellow leans a little green, and it is eye-searingly bright! Unfortunately, I chose to wear this one when the sun was hiding, so no direct sunlight shots to show. On second thought, that might have been a blessing in disguise because I'm not sure my camera would've handled it anyway!

Swatches today are a base of Seche Clear, three coats of Sun-kissed, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. Formula on this is pretty good. It dries fast, and it does dry matte. No issues to report.

I can't recall where I purchased this bottle from, however, it was likely Sally's. Sally's won't have this one in stock anymore, but head on over to Head2Toe Beauty because they still have it available along with the rest of this collection!

Stash Swatch Initiative: Hare Polish The Teen Queen

Hello!

I have a gorgeous Hare Polish on today! This is The Teen Queen.

The Teen Queen is a glitter topper in a clear base. The base is loaded up with some very sparkly, blue shimmer. In addition to that, I see: Matte, pink hexes in three sizes, plus big squares; and two sizes of satiny, blue hexes.

Today's swatches are one coat of the Teen Queen over yesterday's OPI Bubble Bath swatch, plus one coat of Gelous and one of NYC In A New York Minute. Great formula on this polish! I just swiped this on, taking care to place a few of the larger glitters purposefully.

The shimmer in this is fabulous! It's my favorite part!

I purchased this bottle from Llarowe, during a flash sale for $5! Woohoo!

Stash Swatch Initiative: OPI Bubble Bath

Hello!


This polish was one of the first things I went out and bought when I first got into nail polish. It's a versatile polish, and the perfect base for a lot of nail art I've done. It is OPI's Bubble Bath.

Bubble Bath is a sheer, baby pink jelly polish. It is simple... and timeless... and quite lovely. I love the clean, delicate look this gives my nails and hands when worn alone.

Swatches today are a base coat of Seche Clear, three coats of Bubble Bath, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. I have no issues with this polish at all. It self-levels and is, therefore, easy to apply.

If I remember correctly, I picked this up at a Regis Hair Salon while out doing some mall-crawlin'.
