Seven and Parker Review and Swatches

Hey Polish Lovers!

A lot has been going on since my last post. I moved into a new home. Our satellite internet won't get service at our new house and I am waiting until the first of the year to get another provider. I recently got a new phone and am able to do my blog posts on it (although time consuming and a little frustrating). I will do my best to keep you updated on what's going on in my polish world. I have two reviews that I still need to post but the photos are in my laptop so I will have to figure out how to get them on my phone.

Mitzy from Seven&Parker sent me minis of her Christmas Collection plus base and fast drying top coat.

From left to right: Base Coat, Fast Drying Top Coat, Twinkling Lights, She's Like a Pearl, Blue Spruce, Frost Bite, and Aurora Borealis.

First, I would like to talk about S&P's base & FDTC. They are both very thin, which I love! There's nothing worse to me than an overly thick base or top coat. The base coat did a great job at filling in the ridges of my nails and dried super fast. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who hasn't found a base coat they love. On to the FDTC...I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be. I guess if its a FDTC and it is thin, I shouldn't expect it to do what Seche Vite does. It does dry much faster than a plain old top coat. I think my main problem is patience. I don't usually let the first application of polish to dry before I add a second and I also added the FDTC shortly after applying my second coats. I think if you have patience (and time) to let your polish dry a little prior to using it, it would be great top coat for you.

Let's get on to the pretties!!

Twinkling Lights
Is a clear base with multi-sized gold glitter.

The application of TL was good. It wasn't goopy or too thick. It has just the right amount of glitter. You can add one coat to just add a little bling or use it alone, as I did. This is 3 coats over S&P base coat with S&P FDTC.

She's Like a Pearl

Is an off-white shimmery polish with a hint of holo.

3 Week Review on Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil™

Hey Polish Lovers!

As some of you may know, I did the 3-Day Initial Hydration Treatment with Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil. In short, the treatment is where you remove all polish and apply Pure Nail Oil for 3 days. Every time it is absorbed, you apply more. You try your best to keep your hands out of water and just take it easy. I did the treatment July 12th through July 15th.

Here is my 3-Day review:

When I first placed the order for Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil, I knew I wasn't going to have phenomenal results. My nails were already fairly healthy looking. I didn't have a ton of damage. I got my package in the mail and almost couldn't wait to take a photo before applying. I had to smell it first thing, because so many have said the smell is divine...and it is! It almost smells of summer raspberries with a hint of citrus.. but not a strong, overpowering scent. It's "Crisp"! After my 3-Day Hydration, I am utterly amazed at my before and after photos. I honestly didn't think I would be able to tell a difference, but I can! My nails have actually grown in the last 3 days; they feel smooth and have such a shine! I am in love with it!! Thank you, Ana!!! Simply put: You're awesome!!

This is my before Pure Nail Oil and after the 3-Day Hydration Treatment:

My 3 Week Review:

I have now been using Bliss Kiss for three weeks. I can tell my nails are more flexible. I have bumped them several times and they have bounced back. Before using Pure Nail Oil, when I bumped, I broke. My cuticles and nails always look hydrated now, even when I wake up in the morning and it has been hours since I've used the oil. I have less bruising on my nails. And last but not least, my nails have grown... quick! My nails have always grown pretty fast, but not THIS fast. I am still completely in love with Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil!
