Turtle Tootsie Polishes Feelin’ HOT HOT HOT
orange-red neon cream polish with gold shimmer and green/gold/fushcia chameleon flakies.

Not color accurate in photos!
This is bright neon orange. A good portion of fluorescent colors are out of gamut (for monitors and for photoshop) and generally cannot be photographed true to color because they require light to fluoresce. But trust me, this is traffic cone fluorescent orange. Two coats shown with topcoat.






Blush Lacquer Tropical Escape
a minty teal base with a strong pink shimmer that shifts orange (gold and green at extreme angles) and holo flakes.

I took a bottle shot in dim light to show the shimmer off since the bright lighting that I use for color accuracy tends to wash out shimmer somewhat. Shown is two coats with topcoat and again, I am going to mention my love for the brush! It is unique to Blush in the indie world and I can't recall having worn mainstreams with a brush like this. It's soft and shaped perfectly for precise polish application.







Anchor & Heart Summer Princess
a neon pink base with pink to gold shifting aurora pigment, orange/pink/gold shifting iridescent flakies, and pink, purple, and blue holo glitter in various small sizes.

Also, not color accurate!
It is fairly close in my photos but a bit more fluorescent in person. Shown is two coats with topcoat. If texture is bothersome to you, add another layer of topcoat to smooth it out.







Colores de Carol Cheers to the Summer
A light purple holographic with Aurora shimmer and green and purple metallic micro glitter.

Shown is two coats with topcoat. Formula was good and I love those tiny glitters!






If you're on the hunt for bright and beachy shades, look no further! The Seasonal Indie Box is a fantastic combination of colors perfect for summer.

Chaos & Crocodiles: Cheshire Rose

Another from the vault post today for a Chaos & Crocodiles HHC that I absolutely love! I don't recall when it was released, but I do see it around on the 2nd hand market on occasion.

Cheshire Rose is a beautifully done purply based holo with strong red to blue shifting holo flame and shimmer.





I wore two coats, but this one is quite opaque so one coat would suffice in a pinch for a quick paint and go mani.






I hope you've enjoyed the review, even though this polish is not available. And if you haven't checked out the HHC offerings for this month, definitely do that!

Lollipop Posse and Anchor & Heart Polish Con Duo

Press Sample

Dear reader we have a special treat today! The duo from Karen and Taryn for Polish Con!
They are both boy moms and decided to let their boys name their polishes. 30 sets of these will be available at Polish Con on June 16 with special event pricing and then available online June 22.




The Nail Galaxy
a blackened-blue base with green/red/purple multichrome shift, purple/copper/green Aurora pigment, and holographic silver micro flakes.

This shift in this ya'll, it is all over the place and can't decide what color it wants to be! Super reflective too, there must be some sorta metallic magic going on in there.







Red Polish
a maroon base with red/green shifting aurora pigment, a sprinkling of lime iridescent micro flakies, and iridescent/UCC flakies that shift across the gold/orange/pink/fuchsia/green/lime spectrum.

Luscious and squishy and flakie and just, all the things!





Both polishes are shown in two coats, have really great formulas and smooth application. You'll definitely want to snag these if you're going to the event or available online June 22.
