Nailed It Nail Polish - Missing Spring Collection

Hi loves,

I hope you are all having a great day!

I wanted to bring to you a review and swatches of Nailed It Nail Polish Missing Spring Collection. I've been wanting those polishes ever since I saw them. Basically, ever since they came out. I just kept putting it off. But finally, I decided to make the purchase.

I had the pleasure of working with Tia from Nailed It Nail Polish, after the US Postal Service messed up my delivery. They claimed they could not find the address. I tried calling them so many times but I had no luck. When I reached out to Tia, she immediately emailed me back saying she'd put another package in the mail for me. I was so grateful that she was willing to find a solution to the problem the US Portal Service had created. Her products are amazing but her customer service is OUTSTANDING.

Nailed It Nail Polish has a customer for life! They're based in Hawaii so that means, their nail polishes are made in the US. All nail polishes are hand-shaken and hand-crafted. They are also 5-free. That means, they do not contain any Formaldehyde, Toluene, Dibutyl Phthlate, Camphor and Formaldehyde Resin, which are known to be harmful chemicals.

There is one small thing I have to mention. For some reason, the brushes were not quite working for me. It could be that my nails are too narrow. I usually have to use smaller brushes to avoid flooding my cuticles. :) But other than that, everything was great!

Let the swatching begin!


First up is my very favorite of all three. For those who follow me on Instagram, you know I LOVE pink but in this case, purple is my favorite color. Blooming Orchid is a purple crelly loaded with micro-glitters for a holographic effect. I know my camera did not do any justice to this beautiful color. The formula is easy to work with and the color is very opaque. It only took two coats to get the color in the bottle. It dries semi-matte so you'd definitely need a top coat.

Next is Dusty Rose. I think its name says it all. This is a vintage-looking rose color in a crelly base with the subtle shimmers. . It is soft enough to use it as a nude color. I didn't try matte-fying it but I think it would look GORGEOUS. I love matte nudes.

Dusty Rose



Last but not least, is Blue Daisy. This is a bright pastel - if that makes sense with very subtle shimmer. You have to add a top coat because it dries semi-matte as well. The formula is easy to work with as well. It covers well with two coats.



Make sure to check out Nailed It Nail Polish and get your hands on this awesome polishes.

XOXO,

Forever & Always

I wanted to share this gorgeous color with you. This is  "Forever and Always" by indie brand Fairytale Finish Polish . It is a glitter nude crelly. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, this was limited edition, however, I think you can still find at least one if you contact Amanda directly on the IG page (Linked above). Let me know what you guys think.







Hugs,
