Ocean Potion and Sprouse

Today, I have two amazing polishes for you to see! I decided they needed to be layered and I adore the results! First up, I applied two coats of Enchanted Polish Ocean Potion and stepped out into the sunshine and let my fingers glow!

I just love the random glitter piece I have on my middle finger up there ^. 

Such a gorgeous polish!! But you know me, I need more! So I grabbed my trusty Candeo Colors Sprouse....as an aside, things were very amiss with my bottle of Sprouse. I used it one other time HERE...but when I grabbed it today, so much of it was gone!! It was like the clear base evaporated or something...and when I pulled out the brush, it was all shriveled and gross. I shook it all, thinking that might help- it sort of did, but the formula was definitely not the same. I sent Candeo Colors a message about this so we'll see what happens. It was so sad! I LOVE this polish! Yet, I will say, the thicker formula really helped me get more on the nail! It was a little gloopy, but yeah...

Thanks for reading!

Candeo Colors 'Sprouse'

This is one of the first Etsy indie brand polishes I was able to buy. I just think it's the best thing ever that there are people out there mixing up one of a kind glitter and pigment concoctions and starting their own businesses! I feel like it would be a dream job for me! Maybe some day in the future I'll finally perfect my haphazard hobbies like making jewelry and mosaics and make some money with them. Oh, and throw in learning how to make nail polish! ...no big deal, right? HAH!

Sooo...nail polish time! I present to you Candeo Colors Sprouse. This is a clear base polish with some amazing glitter in it! Let's start with a bottle shot!

Is that not amazing, or what? You've got holographic micro glitter that blankets the whole thing! And then there are varying sized hex glitters in a royal blue, white, and black. Lovely!

As this is a clear based polish, I needed to decide on a base color. I had just bought some new Essence colors and they were staring at me and screaming pick me! pick me! I ultimately decided on Essence You Belong to Me- a lovely muted sea green color. 

Pictured above are two coats of You Belong to Me and 2 coats of Sprouse. Sprouse went on the nail beautifully! The glitter for the most part was easy to get out of the bottle and on to the nail. I did keep the bottle upside down before using, so that could have been influential to the glitter application. 

SO MUCH GORGEOUS GLITTER!

I seriously am liking this polish. It can truly be layered over any colored base- it's so versatile! If you'd like to purchase your own, you can find the Etsy shop here. They are currently closed, but should hopefully be open again soon. In the meantime, you can check out their Facebook page here. I can't wait to purchase a few more of these gorgeous glitters!
