Cults Nails Thursday

As my co-worker would say, happy Friday-eve! How about some Cult Nails polishes to make it through your Thursday? 

Overall, I do really like Cult Nails' polishes. Formula wise, they are great and when they first came onto the polish market, I would buy full collections at a time. I have slowed down a bit, really only getting single polishes instead of a full collection. There is not anything negative that has led to this, just a general influx of indie polishes that became available. That being said, Cult Nails will put out some awesome sales and promotions, so be on the lookout for those in the future.

 Cult Nails Evil Queen

So shiny and bright, this candy apple red polish is wonderful. 

One of my favorite red creme polishes, definitely my favorite Cult polish.

Cult Nails Iconic

One of Cult's first released polishes, this wine red creme has some interesting 

detailing with gold shimmer and red flakies. 

Cult Nails Princess

Light dusky blue with copper shimmer. 

Cult Nails Scandalous

Coral jelly polish. Very pretty but takes a few coats to build to this opacity.

Cult Nails Enticing

Pale pink jelly. Delicate and ladylike, though not a color I am always drawn toward. 

Cult Nails Polishes can be purchased within their shop here. Updates can be found on their blog here or Facebook page here. 

It's Friday! Spam

Another week goes by and again, I am way too excited for the weekend. I plan on sleeping in, swatching some of my purge pile, and enjoying the (hopefully) nice April weather. Here is a continuation of some random spam to end the work week with.

Takko Lacquer Pucker Up

This is BRIGHT, which I like. 

This is a nice alternative to Orly Hot House Flower but they are not dupes unfortunately. 

Cult Nails Living Water and Sally Hansen In a Flurry

I picked up Sally Hansen In a Flurry at a local Walgreens a few weeks ago and wondered how similar it was to Cult Nails Living Water, so I both to show today.

Living Water is a polish that is beautiful in the bottle and translates just as well to the nails. It has a dark teal blue jelly base with tiny blue and green glitter. This was two coats and applies well, though it will have a gritty finish so at least two coats of topcoat is needed. I rushed application, so there is a some dragging, I apologize for that.

In a Flurry has a dark teal base but it's more blackened, less blue toned than Living Water. It's packed with small glitter particles and though there is a purple shimmer, I wasn't able to capture it in the picture. I dislike the Sally Hansen mop paddle brush and very narrow Insta-Dri bottle opening but those are things that are tolerable when the polish is pretty enough. 

In the photo below, Living Water is on my index and ring fingers and In a Flurry is on my middle and pinky fingers. The bases are similar but the real difference lies in the glitter. In a Flurry is filled with more glitter in varied colors compared to Living Water. I used two coats for full coverage for both polishes. They are not close enough to be called dupes but they are close enough to each other that you may not need to own both.

Living Water is a limited edition polish but it's still available on Cult Nails web store. In a Flurry is a limited edition polish from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line and can be found at various drugstores.
