Friday Favorites – Empties Part 1

Kandy colors Spiced apple cuticle oil

I love the smell of this cuticle oil it smells of Christmas its slightly fruity with a hint of spice. I felt like this oil was on the thicker side which I quite liked because you don't need a lot of product and its super conditioning, the oil sinks in nicely there is no greasy film left around your cuticles. I loved that this products applicator was it a pipette it was super easy to use I just would of liked the bottle to be bigger.



Paint the rainbow cuticle oil

This cuticle oil is ok I did feel it was slightly greasy and it does take a little while to sink in. I wasn't to sure about the roller ball applicator to start with but I actually liked it, I found the product applied easy with the roller ball applicator. This cuticle oil had no scent which is ok but I prefer a scented oil.


O.P.I Avojuice Spiced persimmon hand and body lotion

I liked this hand cream it is a lighter lotion rather than a creamy rich hand cream which I like. This hand lotion sinks in fast and leaves your hands feeling smooth and moisturized, the smell is lovely it smells like sweet orange with a hint of spices. This is a lovely hand lotion it would be perfect in a handbag because it sinks in fast.


Loccitane Shea butter hand cream

This is a thick and creamy hand cream this product is super moisturizing. I would say be careful when applying this product because if you over apply it your hands will feel super greasy for quite some time. I do like this hand cream it is super moisturizing but it doesn't sink in fast so I would say this hand cream isn't the best for your handbag I would apply this before I go to bed, the scent is just a lovely clean scent but its not in your face.


Nails inc Albert bridge topcoat

This is an ok topcoat nothing special its not particularly glossy but it does dry fast. This topcoat is a nightmare when your near the end of the product, the topcoat goes super thick I did add thinner and it worked for one manicure, also when you near the end of the product it starts to apply uneven and stringy which is not what you want from your topcoat.


Perfect formula Pink gel coat

This product isn't empty yet but its so thick now, I tear my hair out while applying this. The application is so uneven and stringy I have tried thinner and it doesn't thin the product at all. This product annoys me because the finish of this product is nice it makes your nails look better it makes the whites whiter it makes your nails look perfect. Before this product got super thick this product helped my nails grow, nothing major but it did help.

Kandy colors - Orgasmic & Ménage a trios

Orgasmic

Orgasmic is a raspberry pink/red holographic polish, I'm not a big red polish lover but I prefer them when they have a lot of pink to them which this polish has. This polish is a one coater, yes its fully opaque in one coat there is no patchiness and no visible brush strokes the polish applies so smoothly, I'm really impressed with the formulation of these kandy colors polishes. The holo part of this polish isn't as dramatic as some of the other polishes from this collection but the effect and finish is still lovely,unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar. 


Ménage a trios

Ménage a trios is a silvery sky blue holographic polish, I think this polish looks silvery probably because of the holographic but this polish is packed with holo so it makes the polish look almost silver. Again I sound like a broken record but the formulation is great, the polish applies like butter it doesn't streak or apply patchy its a lovely formulation thank you kandy colors for the formulation because it does really help when you apply the polish to your nail . I could see nail line after applying the first coat of this polish but the second coat covered everything, unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.

Kandy colors - Mayhem & Romance

Mayhem

Mayhem is a pistachio green holographic polish, I have to say this polish isn't my favourite from the collection only because of the colour and that's just my personal preference I do think this colour will be a hit or miss only because I don't think it will suit every skin tone. The consistency for this polish is good it wasn't to thick or thin, I would say depending on how thick a coat you apply you will need 2-3 coats with this polish.



Romance


Romance is a platinum grey holographic polish, this polish had really good coverage on the first coat, I thought because the lightness of the colour it would apply patchy but it didn't which is a plus. I did need to apply to two coats of polish because you could see slight nail line on the first coat, the consistency of the polish was good like the majority of the polishes from this collection the polish applied smoothly the polish didn't run of the brush.

Kandy colors - Apple Martini & Blackjack

Apple Martini


Apple Martini is a vibrant apple green holographic polish, I love this colour its so bright and a perfect colour for summer. This polish is fully opaque in one coat it doesn't apply streaky, I would say I don't feel the holo is as strongly visible as some other holo's in this collection but the subtleness of the holo works nicely with the colour. This is a lovely polish it applies lovely and is a pretty colour I am glad to have it in my collection.





Blackjack


Blackjack is a graphite holographic polish, this polish is jam packed with holo's you can see the holo's in or out of light. The first coat of this polish was slightly patchy but nothing major the second coat of polish covers all the patchiness. The consistency of the polish is the same as the majority of the polishes in this collection the polish applies lovely and smooth the polish wasn't to thick or thin, unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.

Kandy colors - Lovers nest & wedding chapel

Lovers nest

Lovers nest is a mustard yellow holographic polish, firstly I wanted to say I love the colour of this polish because sometimes yellow polish is hard to wear depending on the shade of it and this yellow looked nice on my skin tone so thank you kandy colours for making a nice shade of yellow polish. The consistency of this polish was good slightly on the thinner side but nothing major it still applied nicely there was no overflow onto the cuticles, the coverage was good I could still see slight nail line on the first coat but the second coat covered everything. The only minus I have for this particular polish was that the holographic wasn't strong to me I felt it looked more like a silver shimmer was running through the polish, but the polish still looked lovely,unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.
 



Wedding chapel


Wedding chapel is a unique colour it is a silvery beige holographic with a slight hint of blush pink in certain lights. I was not blown away by this colour in the bottle but when I applied it on the nail I fell in love, its like a neutral polish with a hint of something extra special. The formulation for this polish was great, this polish could be a one coater there was no visible nail line no streaking or patching, the consistency of this polish was lovely. I really have not got a bad thing to say about this polish its lovely the only thing is I'm regretting not getting the full size,unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.

Kandy colors - Burlesque & Lust

Burlesque



Burlesque is a mauve pink holographic polish, this holographic is in your face you will be able to see the rainbow affect without being in direct light . The coverage of the first coat was good I could still see slight nail line but the polish was fully opaque in two coats. This polish would be perfect for a night out because even the colour is not in your face the holo would look amazing under the lights trust me you will get complements when you are wearing this polish,unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.



Lust


Lust is a lavender lilac holographic polish, the consistency of this polish is good not to thick or thin the polish applied smoothly no streaks and no patching, I would say it wasn't fully opaque on the first coat I could still see some nail line but the second coat fully covered that. The holographic in this polish really shines through you don't even need to be in direct light and you can see the holographic, this is just a lovely polish if you are looking for a purple holo polish that has a amazing formula I would highly suggest this one from kandy colors,unfortunately this polish is no longer available but I'm sure if you look on the site you will find something similar.

August Indie month

This August as you can guess by the title will be indie month. Before I started this blog I knew nothing about indie polish brands, I only owned polishes from the mainstream polish brands, but by doing this blog I am learning more about nail polish, I have came across some amazing indie polish brands, I swear these indie brands make more unique and sometimes even produce better quality polishes than their mainstream counterparts. This month I just wanted to showcase some of the indie polish brands I have purchased from, there are many more out there and I will defiantly feature more on the blog so keep a eyes peeled for that. If you would like to check out the brands I am going to feature this month I will link their sites down below so please check them out.
