Forget Me Not Friday: HARE POLISH - Down the West Coast

Hare Polish Down the West Coast

CONGRATULATIONS! You made it to Friday! :P It's once again, Forget Me Not Friday - the post where I grab something out of my never ending basket of untrieds haha. This week I have Hare Polish Down the West Coast to share with you. It's been a few months since I swatched a Hare, so lets' chance that haha. Check it out down below!

Hare Polish Down the West Coast

Hare Polish Down the West Coast

This polish is from the VIVA LOS ANGELES Collection from last year. Down the West Coast is a "rosy pink jelly with more of a 'marbled' effect", it also has "blue flakies, gold flakies & gold shimmer!"  Marble and granite is exactly what I thought of! My husband has a bowling ball that has this same kind of effect to it. While the glitter is obviously suspended in the base, they are nearly one when it comes to this polish. I don't find this polish to be a jelly... more of a crelly.

I did 3 coats of Down the West Coast. Although the polish is packed with tons of flakies, it had a nice smooth application. It was easy to work with and gave me no issues. Dry time was great and very quick. I had to head out the door right after I swatched it, no time for Seche Vite, and I didn't even mess it up :P

Forget Me Not Friday: I LOVE NAIL POLISH - Summer Stargazing

I Love Nail Polish Summer Stargazing

It's FRIDAY! Forget Me Not Friday, actually. If you're not familiar with FMNF, I pretty much have a huge box of untrieds by the side of my desk (that never ends) and each Friday I swatch one or two of them.This week I have a pretty blue polishes from I Love Nail Polish called Summer Stargazing. Check it out down below!

Summer Stargazing is a vibrant royal blue with strong holographic awesomeness and teeny blue flakies. Indoors it's a wonderful polish and a great color, really loving this shade of blue, but once you step out doors this polish really packs a punch!

I did 2 coats of Summer Stargazing. The application was opaque, but also on a little on the thick side - which I'm not used to with strong holo polishes. It wasn't difficult to work with by any means just... different. Although the formula threw me off, the dry time was on point - quick and no issues.

So there ya have it! I really enjoyed this sparkly deep blue polish. I totally forgot I bought it, so it was a nice surprise to pull it out of the box LOL. I wonder what next week's polish will be :P


XOXO,

I bought this myself. Is that good enough for you, Federal Trade Commission?

OPI DS Titanium

OH HAY STRANGER! Long - 4 day - not talk! I'm back from Seattle with a swatch of something glitter via The Beauty Clutch. This is OPI DS Titanium, which I believe is my first DS polish. This came out last fall but is still super easy to find! It's so sparkly and pretty, it's hard to pass this one up!

OPI DS Titanium

OPI DS Titanium

This is a semi-sheer, medium grey with a crazy mix of silver, holographic and iridescent glitter and flakies. While grey polishes aren't my favorite, I couldn't pass up the gorgeous colors and sparkle in the polish! I mean look at that macro, can you blame me!

I did 3 coats of DS Titanium sans top coat. This would be a great polish to layer over undies, but I chose not to. It had a nice smooth application and was quite easy to build up. I didn't run into issues with dry time either.

It didn't look or feel rough to me. However, I tried to stamp some black polish over it and you could see the texture from the glitter. So if you're going to stamp, top coat before (which you should do anyways :P).
