Dandy Nails Chilled Down

I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last posted. How time flies! I had a great time at the LA Kings hockey game with my dad on Saturday, even though they lost. I can't wait to go back another time. Anyway, I still have a few Valentine's Day themed manis that I want to post but I wanted to take a little break and do something else. I went for my bottle of Dandy Nails Chilled Down, which I had been wanting for the longest time before buying my bottle in a blog sale. Here it is!


Dandy Nails is an off white creme that has nude tones and is packed with beautiful blue and gold flakes, which are not shy at all. I absolutely love the look of this polish. It's gorgeous but subtle at the same time. The colors together makes me think of the beach or even granite. The application could not have been more easy. It was opaque by the second coat but because of a few bare spots, I opted for a third coat. What I love the most is that I didn't have to do any clean up! Don't you just love when that happens?



Chilled Down is everything I hoped it would be. It's gorgeous but on top of that it has a wonderful formula. If you don't already own it, I highly suggest getting yourself a bottle. It's even better in person.

Hit Polish Antique Rose

I've been wanting to wear a lot of girly and romantic manis lately, especially with Valentine's Day coming up. Today I have one that I absolutely love! Here's Hit Polish Antique Rose layered over OPI My Vampire Is Buff.


Antique Rose is without a doubt one of my favorite polishes by Hit Polish. It's a very beautiful combination of gold and rose hexagons, in various sizes, and circle glitter. I used My Vampire Is Buff as my base because I love that it's a creamy, light nude and it's mellow, in comparison to a stark white. Both polishes were easy to apply. I used two coats of My Vampire Is Buff and Antique Rose had great glitter coverage in just one coat. It dried surprisingly smooth for a glitter, so I just needed one coat of top coat.


I don't know why but my pinky looks so weird in most of the pictures I took, so I had a hard time choosing what ones to add for this post. Oh and try to ignore the top coat that looks like dry skin. I didn't realize until I was editing.



Polishes like Antique Rose remind me why I love Hit Polish so much! Though they are closed, they still remain to be one of my favorite indie brands.

I don't have many plans for this weekend, but I am definitely going to be waching the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks game that's taking place at the Dodger Stadium tonight. My dad's actually going to it with one of his co-workers! I'm so jealous. Well, I hope you have a fantastic weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Sation Chocolate Chip Resistant

Every time I take off my polish, it's super hard to decide which one to wear next. I was almost tempted to wear another indie after taking off Darling Diva Bitches Have Birthdays, but I decided that I should stop neglecting my drugstore/mainstream brands. Therefore, I finally settled on Sation Chocolate Chip Resistant.


Chocolate Chip Resistant comes from the Candylandia collection and it's a peachy nude with gorgeous but subtle shimmer. It was the shimmer that made me want this polish when I first saw a swatch of it, even if it is hidden. But it also happens to be a beautiful nude and before this one, I had zero to none in my possession. I like the way it looks on me. I think it works with my skin tone. The formula wasn't terrible either. I've had some issues with cremes in the past, but this one wasn't bad at all. It was a little streaky on the first coat, but by the second, it was a lot better. I used three coats in the end, but that's pretty typical for a pale shade like this. I didn't use top coat for my pictures, because I'm planning on using a glitter over it, which I'll be posting soon.


You can really see the gorgeous shimmer in this picture!

I'm very happy with my first experience wearing a Sation. Chocolate Chip Resistant is a gorgeous nude if you're ever in need of one. I have a handful of other Sations that I need to wear and post soon, not to mention I want a ton of their gorgeous glitters.
