I'm a sucker for a pretty coral, and this definitely fits the description. Splendor also has gold shimmer running through it, but it isn't always noticeable. Not really season-appropriate, but who cares? The formula is on the thick side and it does take a bit of finessing to apply this smoothly, but the extra effort is definitely worth it.





Do you polish your nails according to season, or do you wear whatever you want whenever? I think I'm a little of both!



Paul & Joe polishes are $14 and can be found at Apothica.com.

My favorite from the collection! Such a gorgeous, dusty green. I've loaned this one to a few of my friends, and I think it's safe to say: this is gorgeous on everyone! So chic. The formula is nice and pigmented - I barely needed a second coat!

Hello, readers! Long time now post. I've been ridiculously busy with life - you all know how it goes. I have tons to catch up on, including my 600 follower giveaway. Please bear with me while I play catch up and post things you may have already seen a million times by now! I'll try to throw in some current things as well. If you have any swatch/review requests, please feel free to contact me!



Onto the review...



I picked up a bunch of AA's new shades recently, and since I've been on an indefinite neutral phase, Dance was the first one I tried.

2 coats

Dance is a pale nude with a touch of pink. It's pretty neutral, not leaning too cool or too warm. It's squishy and sheer - probably could have used a third coat. The formula is nice and smooth, not too thick or runny. I had no issues with the application. I thought it might look very similar to Deborah Lippmann's Naked, but it is slightly paler and pinker.

Tart with a Heart is such a fun polish! It has gold, silver, and holo microglitter as well as round holo glitter all suspended in a clear base. It is on the thick side, but that doesn't hinder the application much. I love that it's dense enough to just do one coat for layering. I bet it could be opaque on its own in three.
