Spring 2017 Seasonal Indie Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review
Hey guys and gals, for today I have a new collaboration box to share. This is the third Seasonal Indie Box, featuring permanent contributors Anchor & Heart Lacquer, Colores de Carol, and Turtle Tootsie Polishes, with special guest Heather's Hues in this time. 

The Spring Seasonal Indie Box will be available starting April 2nd through April 9th in Turtle Tootsie Polishes' shop. Pricing will be $35 plus shipping which is a great price considering the box includes four full sized polishes. 

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Sunshine & Pansies 
Three coats
Mellow gold toned yellow crelly with green shimmer, gold and silver micro-shreds, and larger glitter in violet, magenta, gold and silver.
My lighting brightens this just a bit, in person it's slightly duskier, definitely more a "mellow yellow". I like the subtle contrast from the various colored shimmer and glitter. It's not quite opaque in two coats, three coats worked out better for me.



Colores de Carol Jade Vine
Two coats
Turquoise linear holographic with gold and holo flakes and fine neon green glitter
Such a refreshing shade of turquoise green! The added flakes and holo will make it sparkle in the sun. Application was easy, I needed just two coats for coverage. 




Heather's Hues Hydrangea
Two coats
Lavender pastel with periwinkle shimmer and purple and indigo micro-flakes
I love purple hydrangeas and seeing them among the spring time blooms always makes me happy. This inspired polish is a lovely interpretation, though it is thicker in formula than I prefer, likely due to its pastel nature. Thinner coats worked best, I applied two here for coverage. A drop or two of nail polish thinner would likely help with that if you prefer thinner style formula. 




Turtle Tootsie Polishes Carnation 
Three coats
Bubble gum pink scattered holo with flashes purple with pink micro-flakes and iridescent rainbow flakes
Soft pinks are made for spring sets, amIright? The flash of purple adds some subtle loveliness, as do the various flakes. No issues with application, though with the first coat, it will look somewhat sheer, three coats though be opaque.

The Holo Hookup January 2017 Box: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review
Hey all! I have the Holo Hookup Box for January for today. Along with polishes from Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow, the guest maker for this month is Colores de Carol. The theme is 'New Year, New You' with the inspiration pic is below. 



The January 2017 Holo Hookup Box will be available during a week long pre-order window from December 21st at 9 pm EST until December 28th at 9 pm EST only in the Holo Hookup shop

The box is $40 plus shipping which will be available domestically and internationally.

Cupcake Polish  Happiness 
Two coats
Light green linear holographic with pink shimmer
The color is a fresh and lovely. The formula is what I expect from Cupcake, so a thicker style, this time a creme based holo, and opaque in two coats.

Different Dimension Simplify
Two coats
Light lavender linear holographic with blue shimmer
I love the mirrored quality this has, with the metallic tone of the polish. Application is very easy, with barely two coats needed for coverage. This has a higher density holo.

Glisten & Glow Love
Two coats
Light pink linear holographic with light rose and pink micro-flakes
Are you seeing a theme with the colors? Another lighter toned shade to the set, this time a metallic pink one and the super high density holo flame is wonderful. Slightly thinner consistency in the formula but still opaque in two coats.

Colores de Carol The Extra Mile
Two coats
Medium blue linear holographic with gold and blue shimmer plus gold flakes
And here is a nicely done blue polish to round out the collection. The flakes and shimmer give it a bit of depth and application wise, I had no issues.
