Did you guys know that milky glitters are my new Pokemon? I want literally every single one I see. It's not a finish I would ever have predicted that I would like, but there is just something about them that I absolutely love. The newest addition to my growing collection is Candy Coated from Pretty & Polished.
Yeah, it's pink. I know that approximately two posts ago I said that I didn't really like pink, but that is the power of the milky glitter. I want them even in shades I wouldn't normally wear!
Purple and pink glitters in varying sizes suspended in a milky pink base. I was afraid that it would be really sheer, but what you see here is three easy coats. I did use Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat as my base for this since it is colored and I find that it helps under more translucent colors to sort of soften the visible nail line.
Candy Coated dried fast even at three coats, and the formula was perfect - not too thick, not too thin, and I didn't have to fish for the larger glitters at all.
I love this so much that I wore it for three days. Yes, I wore a pink polish for three days. o.O And I'm pleased to say that it looked just as good on the third day as it did when I put it on, no chips or tip wear in sight.
Pretty & Polished is available on Etsy. As with most of the indie brands right now, there is a cycle of the shop being open, quickly selling out, then closing again while she processes orders. She's scheduled to open again on Wednesday, 4/25.
Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteI just am powerless to resist them! Powerless!
Deleteso delicate & pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! =D
DeleteI accidentally created a milky glitter by topping my nerd lacquer with zoya Sabrina. Not that I think you own a lot of frenchie type of colors but you might want to stick one of the new OPI ballet colors as a top coat?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I actually don't own a lot of Frenchie type colors, but I want some of the OPI Ballet collection specifically for making milky jelly sandwiches! =)
DeleteBeatiful! And I agree, milky glitters make every color look better. Love your taste in polishes and the fact that you're a Missourian from (sort of) my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's the weirdest thing. I saw an orange one and yellow one the other day, and I totally got grabby hands! =)
DeleteThank you for the sweet compliment and yay, Missouri! =D
Aaaahhh, this is gorgeous! I just had to snag a bottle in my last P&P order because of your wonderful pics. I don't know whether to hug you or throttle you LOL
ReplyDeleteMm hmm... now you know how I feel about pretty much every polish you own. LOL
