Sally Hansen 'Skys The Limit' (Easter Number 5) Blue Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Hi everybody! This is getting really serious; we are half-way through this series already! Whaaaaat? How come that happened? But it's also pretty exciting, coz' we're getting to the real point end of the list here; this is the top 5 (before I babble on any further I will provide some background information for anyone that is unfamiliar with this series here).  Only adding to my excitement is the fact that one of my favourite TV shows started airing a new season last night; any more excitement and my computer may explode!Today we will be looking at another nail polish by Sally Hansen, but this time from the complete salon manicure range, which has a base and top coat built right into the polish itself; pretty cool right?


This specific polish right here before your eyes is Skys the Limit! This is a Sky blue polish, and I just love shades of blue like this, especially for Easter time, because it's so bright and cheerful! It's like a beautiful clear blue sky!


I feel that with a light blue colour like this one there is a chance that the formula might be pretty sheer, BUT this isn't the case at all with this polish! The formula on this is just so great! It got to full opacity in two coats, and the first coat was much more opaque than I would anticipate for this kind of colour and the formula gave me no problems whatsoever!


 Both the bottle and brush are almost exactly the same as the Miracle Gel range, which means that this bottle is still pretty, but very big and difficult to store.


The biggest difference between the two bottles is probably the lid, this one is plain silver with a band of black wrapped around the lid, whereas the other lid was black with a band of colour matching the colour of the nail polish wrapped around it.


The fantastic wide-paddle brush is once again the same as the Miracle Gel range. That's really great, because I love this brush!

This polish has got to be one of my favourite blue nail polishes in my collection! The beautiful bright colour is balanced by an equally great formula and brush making application a breeze and this polish an awesome pick for this Easter!
May your nails be good

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea
