Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer!

Yes. You read that right. That was a Frozen reference. I love that movie so much, it was adorable. Speaking of adorable movies if you haven't seen The Lego Movie go see it now. I'll wait. It's so worth it. Anyways, on to the polish!

Today I have the first collection from a new indie brand called Heather's Hues. 

Floralia
Very pretty shimmery pink with so much glitter! Seriously so much glitter! Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat. 
I love the glitter in this, it's perfect for spring. 
Because of the shimmer this polish looks different in different lighting, which is awesome if you ask me. 

Aurora's Awakening
Another very pretty shimmer with loads of glitter. Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat. 
I really enjoy this golden color! It reminds me of the sun rising in the morning. 
That macro! Dead!

Springtime Muse
This blue is such a beautiful color also! All I can think of is the lake during the summer. Gorgeous! Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat but it was good at 2! 
If I remember correctly there was some iridescent glitter in there too!

Lastly, Luna's Lullaby 
Holy. Moly. So about this polish. You need it, now. Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat.
And matte because it's a jelly and that's what you do with jellies. 
I can't stare at this for too long. It hurts my heart it's so pretty. 
Wow that is an awesome picture to end on. 

The quick and dirty: I love this collection. I love all of these polishes and normally I don't like shimmer polishes with glitter so that surprised me! Formula was a touch thick for my preference but it was definitely manageable as I didn't have to thin any out.

Jellies, jellies everywhere (Laquerlicious)

I, and I think everyone else in the world, loves a good jelly. And today I get to show you some gorgeous ones by Laquerlicious. 

Caught Red-Handed
This was 3 coats with glossy topcoat! Those that know me know that I don't really like red polish but I think this may have converted me. I enjoy this to the moon and back!
Here's a macro of that gorgeous squishy goodness. 
I also used Laquerlicious matte topcoat because everyone knows how gorgeous jellies look matte. 
Here's the matte macro. 
There's tons of holo glitter in this so it's very sparkly in person. 

These next two I had swatched when my nails were longer.

Born In The Purple
Three coats with glossy topcoat but it was opaque at two. I just wanted more glitter, always more glitter haha. Purple and blue polishes are my weakness and this was no exception, I love it so hard! 
Circle glitter that makes my heart flutter. So much circle glitter. 
I used Laquerlicious matte topcoat again (quickly becoming my new favorite matte topcoat). Matte makes the glitter pop so much!
Check out how smooth that is, I'll have to do a comparison between matte topcoats soon. I just have to say that I normally use Butter London's matte and it is very matte but I find that it chips quickly. With this one I can wear a mani for a few days and it's just as beautiful as day 1!

Lastly is In Like Flynn
Three coats with glossy topcoat. I can honestly say that in my stash this one is completely unique and I love it. 
I love love love the mix of green/pink/fuschia glitters in this! 
With Laquerlicious matte topcoat. Again, it looks stunning matte. 
There's some super sneaky flakies going on in here and I had no idea until I did the macro, but it adds so much depth to this polish. 
Again, there's tons of holo glitter in there so it's super sparkly!
Do you like them matte or glossy better?
The formula on all three of these polishes is perfect, buttery and smooth, just how jellies should be. I love every Laquerlicious polish I've used so far. The matte topcoat is wonderful, full review of that will be up in a few days!

Royal Polish Glitter Grenades and Jellies

Just a quick post today on some new Royal Polish polishes since I'm super busy. 

Cobalt
Cobalt is a brilliant blue jelly that's super squishy. 3 coats with topcoat and OPI Which Is Witch? Sandwiched in between.

Morning Glory
Morning Glory is pretty sheer, this took 4 coats with topcoat and Euphoric Lacquer The Power in between. 
Isn't that just delicious?!

Glorious Explosion
This is one coat over white with topcoat. It's a dense glitter topper with blue, silver, and pink hex in different sizes. 
Is it just me or are the tiny blue glitters teeny tiny little diamonds?! That's do adorable to me I can't get over it haha.

Take A Pow! 
I love this one. Seriously, so much! This is one coat over OPI Gargantuan Green Grape. On a side note I'm pretty sure my bottle of GGG used to be green but now it's the ugly blue color. 
This is the perfect comic book glitter. I'm just dead, I love this one and want ten bottles of it. 

Positive Pinking
2 coats over white. This is so girly! So I did a super girly accent nail to go with it. 
I love those holo circles!
Here's a close up on that accent nail because I love it. 

Lastly, Melting Forests
This was one coat over OPI Samoan Sands with topcoat. This one is one of my favorites of the glitters that I received. It's so pretty and sparkly!
Check out that macro, ugh. I wore this mani for 2 days. That's how much I loved it haha. 

So which is your favorite? The Jellies and The Glitter Grenades launched earlier today, so head over to royalpolish.storenvy.com to check them out. Make sure you follow Violet on Instagram (@royalpolish) to keep up to date with the latest Royal Polish news!

Royal Polish

I have 5 polishes from the Happily Ever After collection from a newish (new to me at least) indie brand called Royal Polish. 

The first one is Shining Armor, a yummy black jelly with silver hex in various sizes. 
This is two super easy coats with topcoat. It was so buttery smooth and easy to work with. The combination is so subtle and classy, I love it. 
Mm, jelly squishyness. 
The depth in iust two coats is so gorgeous. 

This is Ball Gown, the most perfect steely blue with pink shimmer. 
This was 3 coats with topcoat. 
This seriously reminds me of Cinderellas gown in polish form, it's gorgeous. 
The pink shimmer is much more pronounced in person, but it's very pretty!

Crown Jewels is my favorite of the whole collection. 
Gold holo glitter, pink holo glitter, and dots. Seriously, no wonder I love it. 
One coat over Kleancolor Green Grass. One coat! So much glitter! And so insanely sparkly! I love pink and gold glitters so it's no surprise I love this one too. 

Once Upon A Time
This looks like a plain red in pictures but there is so much gold glitter in this, it's very prominent in person. 
I don't normally like reds on me, but this one is very wearable, it's a really warm red color. 
See there's the gold glitter!

Prince Charming
This was one coat over OPI Live And Let Die and a gradient with topcoat.
This is so sneaky, I thought it was just blue, white, and gold shreds but there's also blue hex glitter that sparkle like mad! 

Which are your favorites? I like Crown Jewels (obv) and surprisingly Once Upon A Time.
