Navni Beauty: Rhodolite Garnet

Rhodolite Garnet from Navni Beauty is my latest "treat" to myself. When I saw this polish, I had to have it. It's my favorite color, sparkly, and holo. It is everything I hoped it would be! Take a look:



It is described as a highly pigmented fuschia base with various purple microglitters and holo shimmer. It is part of the Hidden Gems collection, which has an array of shades with similar finish as this one.



I mean, just look at the close up!



What do you think of this polish? What's your favorite finish?

KBShimmer: Beach Break Collection

PR Sample

Let the KBShimmer Beach Break Collection take your imagination to the tropics. Nine beautifully crafted polishes in a variety of color and finish ready to whisk you away! Available now at kbshimmer.com




Knot Today
Features colorful shifting metallic flakes in pink, green, blue and gold floating within a creamy white base

I'm impressed by the non-streaky, super smooth creamy formula of this!






Isle Drink To That
a sparkly metallic shade full of holo bits and platinum flakes.

So much sparkle, gotta wear shades!






Lovers Coral
Hues of bright pink, gold and green shift with different lighting and angles adorned with a rainbow of linear holo sparkle.

Loving the contrasting shimmer in this one!






Sun Kissed
a bright and bold multichrome featuring a sunny lemon-yellow giving way to softer hues of orange, gold and blush

Where do I begin with this? Such a unique shade and shift - loving it!






Mermaid In The Shade
A pale, violet-purple base is boldly accented with a shimmer that shifts in a rainbow of hues. In the shade, see pops of pink, copper, gold, lime, blue and indigo. In brighter lighting, the gold and greens shine through. Extreme angles reveal a pop of deep purple.

Obsessed! I could not stop taking photos of it. Ya'll I'm shook. There just isn't anything else quite like it.









Turtley Awesome
A metallic shade loaded with lime flakes that also flash gold. A scattering of holo glitters
$2.00 from each bottle will be donated to The Sea Turtle Conservatory

How cool is that?! Beautiful polish and a donation!






Water Relief
A pale mint crelly is loaded with color-shifting flakes that shift from a soft, orangey copper to bright gold and lime shades

Also looks fantastic matte! I love how matte polish feels like porcelain, and shades like this look like porcelain when matte!







The Tide Is Right
a bold aqua color dances with a bright emerald shade. A change in lighting or angle reveals navy and royal hues that give way to indigo and purple

That aqua flash tho!






Where My Beaches At?
A bold orchid thermal polish loaded with flakies in green, pink, orange and gold. Extremely reactive, a light orchid quickly appears before fading into a pale violet and almost white.

Ya'll..how vibrant this is cold and the polar opposite when warm it looks like an opal! Its finish is matte and has a cool effect that way too!





I'm impressed with this collection, such an unusual color palette! All polishes are shown in two coats with glossy topcoat. The formula for all of them was good.
what do you think of these? Have you ordered yet?

China Glaze: Grinch Collaboration

Press Sample

I was asked by China Glaze to review their latest collection, The Grinch. I'm excited for the opportunity to share the polishes with you because of the variety of finish and color. There is bound to be something here that you'll love!

Straight from the top of the naughty list, #TheGrinch takes over China Glaze this holiday with a limited-edition lacquer collection. Stealing inspiration from the wonder of Who-ville, the Grinch collaboration makes your heart grow three sizes with a transformative palette of eight frosty shades alongside shimmering glitters and cool crèmes. This season is looking to be deliciously wicked...

#ChinaGlazexTheGrinch collection is available NOW at Sally Beauty, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, JCPenney, and other beauty retailers nationwide. #ChinaGlaze

First, I want to share the box set that China Glaze sent to me. It's a huge box with foam padding that each polish and nail set fits into. I took a closer shot of the nails since I do not wear enhancements. I won't be reviewing those but wanted to share what they look like. The nail art on them is fun and is sure to please! This also shows the two bottles of each of the topper polishes as well.






There are two topper type polishes in this collection, so I've shown them in one coat each over several of the other shades in the collection. The rainbow multi-glitter topper is called Resting Grinch Face and the iridescent sparkling topper is called Lukewarm Wishes. Both of them are beautiful and go well with this whole collection. I've also shown the gold micro-glitter polish called Merry Whatever, but its quite opaque and not really a topper style polish.

Grinchworthy
A very sparkly lime green microglitter, barely noticeable texture. Shown is 2 coats with topcoat.






Deliciously Wicked
A sky blue frosty base packed with holo glitter. 2 coats shown with topcoat.
I was excited when I first saw this polish in the bottle because I thought it was a jelly base like Dorothy Who? It's definitely not a jelly, but a frost.







Ho Ho No!
Tomato red cream with pin pricks of gold glitter. 2 coats with topcoat shown.







Merry Whatever
Akin to Grinchworthy, only a soft golden shade. 2 coats shown with topcoat; although this one is quite opaque in one coat and could be worn that way for a quick mani.







Who Wonder
Vibrant hot pink loaded with shimmer. I really love this finish and shade. It's rich and has depth. 2 coats with topcoat shown.







You're A Mean One
A purple jelly with red shimmer and my favorite of the collection. It reminds me somewhat of Clarins 230, but without the green shift. 2 coats with topcoat shown.






The formula for all of these was good, fluid and consistent except for Deliciously Wicked. I found it to be a bit on the thick side, and I think it's because of all the shimmer and glitter in it. A few drops of thinner would make it more fluid.

I enjoyed reviewing and swatching the China Glaze Grinch Collection, and I look forward to building a new relationship with China Glaze. You can find them at the links below, as well as beauty supply stores.
