Cupcake Polish: 5th Anniversary Trio

Cupcake Polish and I are excited to celebrate their 5th year in business with a fantastic sale and anniversary trio!
What began as a hobby for Sara, has grown over the years into a standout brand known for their special effect and holographic nail polishes. From fingertips to toes, Cupcake has you covered!

The extra novelties in the photo were sent as part of the press kit, but definitely join the facebook fan group and IG page because a little bird told me there might be giveaways!


Diamond
A multi-faceted iridescent topper packed with multicolored iridescent flakies and platinum silver micro flakies.
2 coats with topcoat, fairly smooth even with all the flake!

I'm speechless. Just get it so you can be speechless with me.
Seriously, it is unlike any other topper I have swatched or bought, indie or otherwise and you need to see it in person to get the full effect.

Celebrate
Blush pink nail polish with an elegant foiled finish
2 coats with topcoat.
Feminine and posh, this pink can be worn in a variety of ways. Whatever your heart desires.

In this photo of Celebrate I am showing a few other ways to wear this on its own. The two nails on the left show Celebrate sponged on for a pave effect and the two nails on the right show it topped with a matte topcoat.

5 Years
Magenta linear holographic nail polish with holographic microglitters and heavy blue shimmer
2 coats with topcoat.
Vibrant and delicate at the same time, is that even possible?

I could not resist topping both Celebrate and 5 Years with one coat of Diamond. They are all stunning together, just wow!
The formula on all three of these is perfect, just like we have come to expect from Cupcake.

Turn of the Tide
a sea blue linear holo with intense pink to gold shimmer

Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Man
an intense magenta purple with deep blue micro flake that gives a deep blue flame

Wow! This polish left me speechless as I stroked it onto my nails. It has a bright blue holo flame and is such a vivid purple. It is my favorite purple so far this year, ya'll. Leah Ann has set the bar high for 2018 bests!
Two coats, could have gotten away with one. Topcoat. Great formula.

My name suggestion was chosen for this polish! I firmly believe this is CBH's big sister or maybe CBH all grown up, so I came up with a name in the same family. I'm honored that Leah Ann chose the name I suggested!

I'm Frond of You
lilac purple prism holo flake with various size aqua flake.
Two coats. Topcoat. Great formula, however; this polish contains ultramarine blue and has the skunky odor that pigment causes. I noticed it most when I first opened the bottle of polish, and much less after topcoat and drying. Because I swatched these back to back, I was only able to wear this polish long enough to shoot photos so I can't speak to whether the odor goes away or not.

189 Feet Tall
a silver linear holo with heavy blue shimmers and silver holo microglitters.

My name suggestion was chosen for this polish too! 183 feet is how tall the Cinderella Castle is from water level, but when measured from the bottom of the concrete moat it is 189 feet tall and is Disney's official measurement. Since the castle is what inspired the polish, I thought it only fitting. I'm honored that Sara chose the name I suggested!
Super sparkly and beautiful! Two Coats. Topcoat. Great formula.

Freshwater Magic
a lilac linear holo with blue shimmer and a sprinkling of gold holo microglitter.
Loving this shade of purple, perfect for the upcoming holiday and springtime! Two Coats. Topcoat. Great formula.

Dusty Romance
a rose colored mauve crème based linear holo wih flecks of silver shimmer
One Coat. Topcoat. Yes, you read that correctly, I only used one coat in my photos! Fantastic formula.

Cupcake: What a Girl Wants


From the Vault!

Cupcake's What a Girl Wants was a polish I won from Crystal's Charity Auctions group on facebook. It is quite a bit darker than the example image in the auction, but I love it nonetheless. :)
Shown is two coats with topcoat. Since it is a glitter, there is a textured finish. If you prefer it to feel like glass, add extra topcoat. :)

The base of this is a blackened purple and it has a navy shifting shimmer and loaded with clear holo glitters.

The very first box guest is Cupcake Polish and she's made a stunner, ya'll! Let's get right into it!

Palm Trees and an Ocean Breeze. Teal tinted neon green with red, orange, yellow shifty shimmer.

I can't wear a bright green polish and not do some stamping! This is stamped with MDU stamping polish and my custom Vivid Lacquer plate VL043. The xoxo was created from my handwriting and the other design are bricks. Topcoat smears make me sad, but those are difficult to see in person - thank goodness!




The May 2017 Shimmer Me Box featuring Cupcake Polish will launch on 4/29 at Noon EDT.
They will be available at www.nativewarpaints.com.
25 will be available and we will go into a one week preorder after the first 25 sell out.
