Pretty and Polished Princess Piggy
Today (and for Easter) I'm wearing Princess Piggy from P&P, this is from her PJ's polish for kids line and is only available in mini bottles. This is three thin coats smoothed out w/orly smudge fixer and topped with SV. I really like the combination of glitter in this polish, but I'm not sure that this shade of pink works with my skin tone...

Nailventurous Humble Bee
In the mad dash that was the NVL restock the only polish I was able to snag was humble bee. I got it in the mail today and threw it over yesterday's mani. Humble bee dries matte with a very interesting texture, it's perfect for layering but would probably take some work to get to opacity. This is one coat of Humble Bed over nails topshop hidden treasure, no topcoat.

Nails Topshop Hidden Treasure
Today I've got something special! I was recently given the most fabulous gift as a part of a secret bunny swap on a nail board that I'm a member of. One of the polishes that I received in this exchange was Nails Topshop hidden treasure (HT). HT is a Chanel peridot dupe and it is absolutely stunning!!! It's literally three different colors at the sane time! I've never worn a polish with such a string multi chrome effect and have spent the entire day staring at my nails! This is three thin coats and one coat SV. The formula was very nice, easy to work with, the brush was great, and I didn't have any problems with streaking.

Lynnderella the Telltale Heart
Today I'm wearing the Telltale heart over Zoya juicy. Juicy is fairly sheer so I used two coats and about 1.5 coats of telltale heart. I used gelous + SV to make it smooth.

Dollish Polish Hip Hop Hippity Hop
HHHH is a polish that dolly had originally intended to be an Easter LE. It sold so well that she decided not to make it LE after all... It was such a beautiful polish, pastel pink with bright green, pink, and purple glitter.
For some reason the original version turned into glue balls and most of us were unable to use it. Dolly reformulated the polish and put it back up for sale. I have both versions and while the colors of the first seem a bit brighter I much prefer the second, the glitter is smooth and subtle and the formula was perfect.
First two pictures are version 2, 2 coats with SV.
2nd two are the original version, no topcoat.
Last is a comparison bottle shot, original is on the right

Lacquer Convention Poptart
Today I've got a (new?) indie seller lacquer convention. I really like glitter in milky bases and tend to buy every one that I see. I was a little worried that this would be dupey for jawbreaker but it's completely different. Jawbreaker had larger, crisper, bright glitter while poptart has a much whiter base and smaller glitter in softer more candy like colors. 3 coats plus SV

This is perfect passion fruit, it's a screaming bright neon coral jelly with white, pink, and purple neon glitter. This is 4 coats as I wanted it opaque. Easy to apply, hell to remove... No shrinkage with SV
