Sea Lore Polish Sea-son's Treatings Collection

 *press sample*
 
Hello readers! Sea-son's Treatings to you as well! Today's post features the new Christmas collection from Sea Lore Polish. I'm so excited to share these with you because they are all such perfect Christmas polishes that you absolutely have to grab before Christmas is over! Let's not delay any further, and let's get to the polish!
 
First up is "Gingerbread Bay", which is a holographic gold glitter polish with gold and bronze shimmer, and green, white, and red glitters scattered throughout. If you have known about Sea Lore Polish for awhile, then you may know the sister polish to this one, which is "Crystalbration". It's still available in her shop if you haven't snagged that one yet either. I love this polish because its all things holo sparkly goodness, with added beautiful shimmer that just blows my mind. Love it! Formula is great and super easy to work with despite being packed with glitter. I used three thin coats and then decided to dab on an extra coat with a sponge to get just a bit more glitter coverage. I stamped some Gingerbread men using Uberchic Christmas 01 plate as well and filled them in with acrylic paint.

Next up is "Hot Cocoa Cove" which is a chocolate brown polish with a iridescent white shimmer. Yes, yes, yes a million times over. This brown polish is a perfect representation of hot cocoa. Makes me want to eat my own nails while I'm wearing it. Formula was great here too. I used two coats with top coat for my pictures. I also stamped some cocoa mugs using Uberchic plate and white polish. I'm just getting more into stamping... so they aren't perfect, but I'll get there ;-).

Next up is "Mermaid Merry Mint" which is a green jelly with green shimmer and emerald green holo throughout. This green will make the perfect Christmas tree green for your Christmas mani's, so I definitely think you must snatch this one up asap! Formula is great here too. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures. I also stamped some mermaid scales using Mash plate 39 and Color Club "Harp On It".

Next up is "Divinity Isle" which is a white crelly with white shimmer and various gold glitters throughout. Love this white polish to be able to use as a base for all your Christmas mani's, which I did, and you'll see at the end of this post. ;-) Formula was great here. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures. I stamped some candy canes using Girly Bits "It Was The Fireball" and Uberchic Christmas 01 plate.

Lastly is "Cherry Cordial Coast" which is a cherry red jelly with red shimmer and red and silver holo glitters throughout. Perfect Christmas red polish. Not just Christmas time red though. I am dying with how this look on my nails. I'm not much of a red person, so I don't own many of them, but this one is definitely a must have in your collection as that staple, go to red. Great formula here as well. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures. I also stamped using a white polish and Uberchic Christmas 01 plate for adorable Christmas sweater nails.

I also wanted to show all of you how well all of these polishes work together to form the perfect Christmas mani. I used all five polishes for this look (The gingerbread man is filled in with "Hot Cocoa Cove"). The possibilities are endless when you have the entire collection to play with.

So there you have it. The entire collection I feel is a must need if you are any kind of a Christmas fanatic like myself because they are perfect for this time of year. They are also perfect for anytime of the year as well though, so if you're not much of a Christmas person or you don't celebrate Christmas, you can wear these all year long! If you'd like to pick up any or all of these beautiful polishes, you can do so in the Sea Lore Polish shop here.

Sweet Heart Polish Black Friday Trio

Hello my lovely readers!! I'm back from an awesome vacation with family in Florida and Georgia, and I'm ready to get back to my nails!! So today, I'm coming back with a beautiful trio of polishes from Sweet Heart Polish as well as a bonus polish that was only available if you purchased the trio on Black Friday. These polishes are still available, so after reading my post, make sure you go grab yours!! No more delaying.... Let's get back to the polish!!

First up is "All That Glitters", which is a beige shimmer holographic polish with platinum silver flakes. Are any of you aware of my obsession with nude/neutral polishes? I know I talk about pinks and teals an awful lot, but I am a HUGE sucker for a good nude too. This is not a good nude, it's a GREAT nude!! Formula is perfection, and it catches the light so beautifully. I love it! I used two coats with top coat for my pictures.

Next up is "Twinkle Twinkle", which is a black jelly base with platinum silver and bronze flakes, as well as rainbow flakes that really make this polish look like a night sky on your nails! Galaxy nails anyone? This base would be perfect for that! Formula is great here as well. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures.

Next up is "Polar Party", which is an indigo jelly polish with a mix of micro glitters and teal holographic glitters. Such a pretty blue Jelly! When I look at this polish, the name and the polish itself make me think of a bunch of polar bears plunging into the icy waters of the Arctic and having themselves a party. It represents icy waters to me perfectly! Formula was great here too. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures.

Lastly is the bonus polish that was only available if you purchased the trio on Black Friday. This polish isn't available for sale, but I wanted to show it anyway, because it's so pretty. "Thankful 2015" is an icy light blue jelly with purple shimmer and blue and silver holographic glitters. This polish is so sparkly and gorgeous on its own, but you could definitely layer it over another color for a different effect as well. I chose to do three coats of "Thankful 2015" on its own with top coat for my pics. I love how this polish looks just like an icy winter day. Which is why I also stamped over it with black using Uberchic Beauty's Christmas 01 plate for the snowflakes. So pretty!
