Hello lovelies,

 

I've been trying Polish TBH for the first time and today I'll show you two shades.

 

"Polish TBH is a 5 free, high quality indie line created by Christian M in Southern California. The line was created out of love and obsession with the Britney Spears Fantasy perfume line and has quickly evolved into over 30 beautiful & unique shades. All polishes are handmade with high quality ingredients."

 

First up is Chocolate Frogs, a brown shimmer base with copper, gold and blue glitter. I like the colour and the glitter combination and of course the name! The formula wasn't as good as I had hoped for. It was thick and harder to work with yet still manageable. i found that using thicker coats helped with the application. The pigmentation was good and two thicker coats provided full coverage. It dried rather average probably due to thicker coats and not completely smooth so I've applied topcoat.

The second polish is Pyskhe, a medium blue jelly with fine magenta shimmer and fine silver glitter particles. The shade of blue is very beautiful and vibrant in the bottle but it is not as well pigmented. I have applied two thick coats to get good coverage but you would need three coats if you prefer thin coats. The formula itself was thicker but manageable. I needed a coat of topcoat to get completely smooth surface.

Just from these two polishes, my thoughts are that the formula could do with some improvement especially the thickness of it. On the other hand I like the colours & glitter mixes Polish TBH does, especially the Chocolate Frogs. You can also expect some nail art with both shades and I'm also testing the Polish TBH cuticle oil.

Hello lovelies,

 

Swiss indie polish brand Cadillacquer has recently released a new collection inspired by Seek The Fire video game and today I will show you swatches of four shades.

 

I have reviewed for Cadillacquer before, you can find swatches of Breaking Bad Collection here and here and other polishes here and here.

Seek The Fire - denim blue crelly base with red glitter. IMO this is the most interesting shade from the whole collection..at least for me. I love the contrast of blue and red very much, it makes the polish unusual. I've applied two thicker coats to get full coverage. The polish dries a bit gritty because of the glitter so I've applied topcoat.

The Woods - green base with gold shimmer and fine flakies. This green seems quite cool-toned to me despite the fine gold shimmer. The formula was easy to apply but I needed two thicker coats for perfect opacity. It dried fast and smooth but I still applied topcoat.

Beyond The Walls - mushroom brown base with iridescent blue and gold sparkles. This shade is looks very elegant in real life, kind of like cool-toned taupe. It applied nicely and two regular coats were fully opaque. The polish dried fast but not completely smooth so I've applied topcoat.

She’s One Of A Kind - pastel grey with magenta shimmer. I really liked this shade, especially with matte topcoat (coming soon ;). It applied well but I needed two thick coats or you could do three thin coats. I just don't like doing three coats. The drying time was good too and I'm wearing topcoat.

Have you seen Cadillacquer Seek The Fire collection before? It is inspired by video game "The Last of Us". They all had good formula and I haven't encountered any major problems.

 

If you'd like to get your hands on Cadillacquer polishes you can purchase them directly at Cadillacquer website and at various international stocklists.
