Pretty & Polished - "Save the Dauphine" Collection

Hi all!!! I know it's been a while since I have posted but you know how things are around the holidays! So hectic!!First my husband was sick on Christmas and I have been battling a head cold ever since. Ugh. Anyhow, I recently had a chance to review a new collection from Chels over at Pretty & Polished. This is scheduled to be released for sale mid-January. It's called the "Save The Dauphine" (aka Marie Antoniette) collection. There are 4 polishes in the collection:

First up I have Hameau which was the name of a cottage built for Marie Antoinette, and this polish was meant to resemble the cottage and the flowers surrounding it. This is a milky based polish with green and blueish-purple glitters. Gorgeous! This is 3 coats of Hameau with a top coat of Seche.

Application was flawless. No streaks or unevenness. This one is probably my favorite of the collection!

Next we have Let Them Eat Cake which is another milky based polish. Let Them Eat Cake is the rumored comment said by Marie Antoinette during a bread shortage in 1775 and 1788. And this polish sure resembles yummy cake! This polish has lots of fun glitters in it, yellow, orange, pink and white. Delicious! This was 3 coats with a top coat of Seche.

Gosh I have such a weakness for white based polishes. Love this one too! Once again, application was perfectly smooth. No fishing for glitter.

Third we have Louis Louis which was made to represent King Louis XVI of France. This is a gorgeous gold polish with lots of red and blue glitter. Very royal looking. This is 2 coats with a Seche top coat.

No fishing for glitter here either. Smooth application and was pretty opaque in just 2 coats!

Last up is The Diamond Necklace Affair. The Diamond Necklace Affair was an incident that placed blame on Marie Antoinette in a crime against the Crown Jewelers.  This one is just sooooooooo pretty in the bottle. I think this polish is best as a layering polish, although you could wear it alone. I couldn't decide what it would look the best over so I went with 4 different polishes. 

Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Revlon Minted, China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, and China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. And of course, it looked good over all of them! This was one coat of The Diamond Necklace Affair over 2 coats of each base and topped with Seche.

So pretty and iridescent!!! I can't even choose which color I like it over the best!

These polishes will be out January 16 in The Pretty & Polished Store. Also go check out her facebook page HERE!

Anyhow.....I have another fun Christmas polish to show you today from Jen at Jindie Nails. She sent this to me as a gift in my last order since it was the only Christmas polish from her that I didn't own!! And i'm sooooo glad she did! Love love love this one!  It's called Yule Love This(which I do)hahah. Here is a bottle shot:

So festive and cute! This one is a white crelly polish with round red, green and gold glitters in it. There are also some tiny multicolored glitters thrown in there too. It applied really smoothly and evenly. This is 3 coats on it's own.

I wore this to my husband's family's x-mas party last weekend and all of the girls kept checking my nails out!! And I stopped in the liqour store and the cashier said it reminded her of christmas cookies!

Today's post is a polish I have had for a while and can't believe I haven't tried it before now! When I purchased this polish it was from the etsy store D&R Apothecary, but since then they have changed the name of their polish store to Hit Polish. You can go check out their fabulous polishes HERE. The name of this polish is Aquarelle. This polish has so much fun matte glitter packed into it! There is matte white bar glitter, matte light pink squares, mini matte aqua hexes, and tiny matte lilac hex. Pastel goodness!

I decided to layer this over China Glaze For Audrey:

This is 2 coats of For Audrey and 2 coats of Aquarelle. The application was perfect. Lots of glitter on the brush each time with  no fishing! So pretty!!!
