Sensationail - June Colors of the Month

Hello there,

It's been a nice start to June so far. I've been busy at work and my gel nails have been my best friends. I will do a review on another item this week so I won't wear any gel during that time. But, that doesn't mean I won't share my swatches of the month with ya'll.

The colors I got for the June colors of the month are Island Oasis, Tropical Punch, Barely There, Golden One and Sun Kissed. I loved all five. However, three of them are my absolute favorite.


 Let's begin!

This color caught my eye as soon as I opened the box.  I knew I had to swatch it right away. Island Oasis" is a opaque creme gel. I must say, it took me some time and a ton of camera setting changes before I was able to capture a shot that is closer to the true color. It is simply marvelous! I went to the pool yesterday and my nails were a hit. They went so perfectly with the scenery. It was sooooooo hard to take this color off. I rocked it for a whole week.

My second favorite color is "Tropical Punch." This is shimmery coral-y -pink shifting color.  The formula seems sheer but you can still use only two coats for full coverage.  It reminds me of a jelly polish but more opaque, if that makes sense.

This next one is "Barely There." I can see myself wearing this with a French tip, decorated, obviously! This is perfect for this look as the polish is sheer. Also, if you love rocking nude nails, then, this is for you. I used three coats for this swatch.

This next color is called "Golden One." I have no idea how to describe it. Honestly, I don't know where it's a metallic or a super-mega-extra shimmery gold. This is such a captivating color that when you go outside, your nails will have the perfect bling.

CAUTION: You MUST wear sunglasses or the polish reflection will leave you blind. :)

Last but not least is "Sun Kissed." This is a duplicate color I received but hey, no complaining here because this is one of my favorite ones. :) I will use one for my toes and one for my nails. Nice plan, huh! Since I had already swatch this on my previous post, I just used the same picture for this one.

I hope you like the swatches! Let me know if you would give any of these beautiful summer colors a try.

Sensationail Gel Swatches

Happy June loves,

I hope you have had a fantastic half of the year so far! I been so busy at work that I haven't gotten a chance to share with ya'll the awesome gel colors I got as a Sensationail Ambassador. So here they are. Don't forget to share in the comments which color is your favorite.

You will see me say "opaque/opacity" A LOT but there is no other way to describe these amazing forumulas. I know I totally sound bias but I can honestly tell you I own about 20+ gel polishes from other colors and I need at least three or four coats to get full coverage. But not with Sensationail colors. I will be doing a few 'live' swatches to prove this. But that will have to be on another post. :)

Let the swatching begin!

First up is 'Sun Kissed.' A jelly color that would compliment every skin tone. Bright enough to rock in all summer long. You can wear it alone or with nail art. These swatch was done with three coats.

Sun Kissed

'Cabana Boy' is my absolute favorite  Sensationail color I own so far. Very opaque and perfect for summer as well.

A super cute yellow color. 'Beat the Heat' and a perfect color for summer. Needless to say, the opacity is incredible as well.

'Blue Yonder' is a one coater my friends. This stunning dark blue is so opaque you can get away with just ONE coat. Obviously, you can do two for an extremely flawless manicure.

Look at those shimmers!

'Wedding Pearl' is a sheer color-shifting gel polish. Without a doubt, a very interesting color.

'After Five' is a light grey with subtle shimmers. I've posted a macro of this color so you can see how fine the shimmers are.

This is another personal favorite. "Cool Breeze' is one of the Pantone colors of the year. Two cats for this mani. You can wear it alone or under nail art. Very beautiful lavander-ish blue.

"Tangerine Glitter' is a dark orange glitter with some holo accents. The glitters are a little smaller so you need more coats if you want to wear it by itself. You could also sponge it over to get the best look. Another wonderful look for this is sandwich it with a jelly, just like my girl Lo (@bruisedupdollie) did here.  You can also see another gorgeous wear of this baby in Jolene's (@allglazedover) mani here.

Now, this is one of the best glitter polishes I've tried. Why? Well, simply because  "Gold Glitter' is super loaded with (you guessed it) glitters. This swatch was achieved with only two thin coats. This looks amazing all on its own but you can absolutely pair with other colors, textures, decorations, etc.

Gold Glitter

A nice metallic gold color. I am not a big fan of metallic polishes so I wouldn't really wear this on its own, BUT it would look amazing with some black or a burgundy. I will brainstorm a look for this beauty.

Little Gold Dress

This is another one of my absolute favorite ones. 'Bubly Champagne' is one of the few colors I think would compliment every skin tone. I am positive this color can be as eye-catching (on its own) as an elaborate work of nail art. The best part is that you only need two thin coats to achieve full opacity.

Bubbly Champagne

'La Creme' is my least favorite color, not because it doesn't have a great formula or opacity, it is because it does not go with my skin tone, I don't think. However, my darker skin toned ladies would rock this color. I am completely sure! Please prove it to me if you own this color and you have a darker complexion, I wanna see.

La Creme

When not sure, go nude - nude nail polish that it. 'Crystal Avalanche' is a lovely opaque enough nude. you can rock it by itself.

Crystal Avalanche

'Mauve Maven' is another color I think looks good on everyone. Two coats for this swatch.

Nice red with some shimmers can describe 'Barefoot Berry." Two coats for this as well.

Last but not least, here we have 'Royal Ruby.' This could be your go-to red gel color. Only two coats are needed for coverage.

Royal Rubi

Thanks for sticking around until the end. I hope you enjoy this swatching session. Let me know if you've tried any of these colors and what you think of them. If you haven't, would you give them a try?

Love,
