Nothing to Disclose
A couple of weeks ago, or last week, it’s so hard to keep track Pretty & Polished had a pretty awesome sale to “celebrate” Daylight Savings Time. I chose this opportunity to snag up a couple of polishes I’ve been eyeing! It’s been awhile since I had some Pretty & Polished polishes so I was definitely due to add some more to my collection! I wanted to share them with you as they are both still available at Pretty & Polished along with a whole host of other amazing polishes as well as some hand care items! Not to keep you waiting any longer allow me to start this review!
First up is Maleficium:
Palest gray – check! Flakies – check! Wait…Multi-Chrome Flakies??? – check…Check…CHECK! Oh I’m sorry I was just checking off all the ways that you could tell that this was an amazing polish! This stunner is a super pale gray crelly (I initially thought it was white but I really think it’s super pale gray, either that or the flakies are shifting the white a bit gray) with a slew of multi-chrome flakies in all different color shifting colors.
The formula on this is really impeccable. It is a crelly so it is sheer but it builds up to opacity quite nicely. It’s squishy and packed to the brim with the color-shifting flakies. I didn’t have any problems with application such as streaking or dragging and the pictures show three thin coats plus topcoat!
Bonus Macro Shot! I’m working on getting better at these you’ll have to tell me if you like them – I might make it part of my repertoire.
Polishes used: Barielle – Nail Rebuilding Protein; Pretty & Polished – Maleficium; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat
Next up is May Flowers:
Now ya’ll know me and how I’m surprised to find polishes to be thermal when I’m not expecting it well..it happened again! I bought this because of the pretty turquoise color and all the fun springy glitter. So I start swiping it on and realized that the tips were staying turquoise but the polish over the nailbeds was getting decidedly lighter! May Flowers is a turquoise to white thermal crelly polish filled with raspberry and peach metallic dots, lavender matte hexes, green and gold microglitter, and light pink flower glitter. Whew that’s a lot of glitter!
Here are some pictures of it in the warm and transitional states.
Application was really nice…I’ve been pleased with the Pretty & Polished crelly polishes that I’ve tried in the past. Even the jumbo flowers didn’t need a lot of work to come out of the bottle or get on the nail. The glitter spread is very nice and I didn’t have to fish, manipulate, stand on my head, or employ any other drastic measures to get a good coverage of glitter! Pictures show three thin coats plus topcoat!
