I have been wanting to try to some polishes from Candy Coat for ages and I finally got three and wanted to share my swatches of them. The formula of these polishes are quite thin and sheer on the first one or two coats, but the shades are beautiful once they're opaque and I love all three of them! The three shades are pale, muted, pastel colours... which are perfect for spring! I applied very thin coats so the pink and blue took three coats and the yellow took four, but if you applied thicker coats you might be able to get them opaque in less coats.

I recently tried three of Essence's new Shine Last & Go! polish collection. The three shades I'm swatching in this post are Millennial Pink, Razzle Dazzle, and Legally Pink. All three of these polishes have a great, gel-shine and quick dry formula. 

04 MILLENNIAL PINK

A lovely pale pink shade. Two coats.

28 RAZZLE DAZZLE

A metallic, shimmer silver. Two coats.

13 LEGALLY PINK

A bright and vibrant red/pink shade. Two coats.

The formula on these polishes are great and I absolutely love both of the pink shades. I can't wait to try more shades from Essence's Shine Last & Go! range.

Essence's website has these polishes listed at £1.60 and they are definitely worth trying. Find out more about these polishes and browse all of the shades at HERE.

I recently got three of the twelve polishes from OPI's Tokyo collection and I absolutely love them, so I wanted to share some swatches of them. The polishes I own are; Rice Rice Baby, How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?, and Suzi-san Climbs Fuji-san. They are beautiful, muted shades that are perfect for spring.

It's really difficult to pick a favorite of the three but I have probably been wearing How Does Your Zen Garden Grow? the most out of the three. I think that the three shade also look really beautiful together. I have been wearing mix-and-match nails in different combos for the last couple of weeks.

All three have a lovely creme formula and were opaque in two coats.

(Swatches are without top coat)

I love this plate! It includes seven full-size nail designs, which are pattern themed as well as many smaller designs of flowers, plants, birds, and insects. I think all of the pattern designs are beautiful and the smaller designs are great for reverse stamping and can be put with the patterns to create really fun manis.
