Graceful Polish California Love Collection Review

Today I've got another review post for you. I was contacted by Grace who just recently launched her nail polish line called Graceful Polish. She asked if I would be interested in doing a review on YouTube for her and I obviously accepted this great opportunity. She didn't ask me to do a blog post, but I thought it would be nice to do. Come take a look at the swatches after the jump!

Essie Fall 2014 Nail Polish Collection ~ Dress to Kilt

It has been so long since I've done a blog post! My YouTube channel (Total Polish Junkie, naturally) has kept me really busy and I'm enjoying making videos a lot more than blogging, so I don't know how much I'll do on here anymore, but I do want to attempt to at least do one every once in a while.

Today I'm bringing you Essie's fall collection called Dress to Kilt. I don't know about you, but I am NOT ready for fall! I feel totally jipped on summer this year, and other than swatching these puppies, I am still going to be rocking the summer manis!

This is a 6 piece creme collection, and since Essie isn't my most go-to brand, I was a little skeptical. HOWEVER! I was put in my place with this collection. I did a live application video for this collection, so if you would rather you can watch the video (linked after the jump)....or you can read on for some pics and color descriptions!

China Glaze Highlight of My Summer

I know it's still spring, but I love summer too much and most of my manis are turning into summer ones instead of spring. Oh well! I have a fantastic color to share with you today! China Glaze Highlight of my Summer is a bright, bright, bright mint green color. It's so stunning! This polish glowed on my hands no matter what light I was in and somehow, someway made my hands look tan. Is that even possible?!? Haha. But really though I love this color. I think it would looks amazing on anyone. Since it is a pastel color and kind of a neon, it doesn't have the best formula, but it is workable! I did notice quicker tip wear/chips with this polish too. But man, that color makes up for all of that. 

I really didn't need to add anything, but I wanted to add some glitter so I used I'm a Go Glitter. The glitters are beautiful, but it was kind of meh for application. I wish the glitter was a bit denser and I picked up more on my brush in one swipe. But obviously it's workable!

Bright Dots!

I absolutely love this mani! It came out so bright, pretty, and different. I really like using dots....so easy to do, so many different looks, and so amazing on the nail! I'm getting into nail art more and more. When I do a "normal" mani I feel so boring, lol. I need some color and life on my nails! I'm also starting to paint my nails more often. For quite a while I was painting them once a week, now I find myself painting them twice a week. I'm getting bored with my polish faster and need a change. Not a bad thing in my opinion, I do have plenty of polish to use!! Onto the polish...

Sally Hanson CSM Summerlime and Blue Crush

I have some limited edition Sally Hansen polishes to share today. I found them both at Walmart which is still the only place I have seen them. I had to give them a shout out though because of how awesome the formulas are.

Summerlime (green) has a strong shimmer to it which makes it a very pretty shade all on its own. You need two coats, but they are smooth, easy to apply coats. Very impressive! I'm not always the biggest fan of the Complete Salon Manicure line, but both of these are starting to change my opinion! 

Blue Crush has an even better formula and is a one coater. The formulas are so easy to work with that I hardly had to do any clean up because the polish went exactly where I put it. 

I decided to do a different kind of mani with these polishes, using a light pink jelly and a green and blue glitter for some added color. I actually really liked the turn out! It's different, but not so different it looks weird. You really need to go see these polishes for yourself! So pretty. 

Sorry for the wonky picture!

Thanks for checking out my post! Much love and polish!
