Nayll Custom Polish Review + More!

Hi guys! I am very excited to bring this this polish review today! I am over the moon to say that I had the opportunity to create some polishes a couple weeks back. When I was contacted by Sara, the owner of Nayll Polish, asking if I would be interested in creating some polishes I could not say no. I've always wanted to create my own polish but never had the right resources available, until now. 

I am so in love with the idea that Sara has brought forth I just had to share with you all!

Creating the polishes was not easy! She offers many base choices, micas, and glitters to choose from that I had to visit the site a couple times and contemplate on what I wanted, haha. Made me feel a bit crazy so I can only imagine what Indie polish makers feel! 

Once you know what you want the process is simple; pick a base (shimmer or glitter), pick a color for your base, choose a mica or two, or some glitters, name your polish, and click add to cart. See, so simple! 

I have to say that I impressed by the results. The three polishes I created were exactly what I wanted. I could not be any more happy with them, and I am already creating mixes in my head, haha.

The polishes were just as I expected, and nothing short of that. They apply easily, and dry quick. I only had one clump a bit but I will explain my theory as to why a little later in this post. The polishes also lasted about a week with no chipping! I feel like the polish would have lasted longer if I didn't have so many chores around the house everyday.

I could ramble on forever, so lets just get in to the polishes!

The polishes I created: Bri's Heart Beat, Loved to Death, I Am From the Wind

Polishes from her line: The Fast and the Blurriest, Studio 54

Top coats from her line: Smooth It Out Glitter Topcoat, Holy Holo Top Coat

This polish had holo hexes, skulls, and hearts all in a black jelly base. I decided to wear this one over a red because,well, I like the way it looks. This is by far my favorite polish! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I think I made a beauty, lol.

This is one coat over a Sally Hansen red polish. There was no fishing for glitter! 

I Am From The Wind was the only polishes that clumped when I applied it. I believe it was because the glitters I chose were the same size and too many of them. I did try to smooth it out with the brush but failed. I still love this polish though, I just think of it as a textured polish. The name for this one came from one of my favorite movies; One Night with the King. This polish included glitters in turquoise and white, as well as white shards.

 

This is two coats over a Santee white polish.

Bris Heart Beats is a strawberry jelly polish with fine red glitters and black hearts.My sister, Brisa, names this one after her and her heart. She said that day she was feeling dark. This one screams Watermelon Hearts to me but she really wanted a polish with her name, haha.

Two coats over a Sally Hansen nude polish. As you can see, for two coats, this has great coverage! I was expecting to need more because of the red glitter but I was wrong. I also did not have to fish for the heart glitters.

This one here is from Nayll's already made polishes. Honestly, I choose this one because the name reminded me of The Fast and the Furious and having a boyfriend who loves cars, this polish talked to me! This one features fuchsia dots, holo hex and blue squares. I absolutely love the sparkle in this!

Two coats over a Sinful Colors blue. Again, no fishing for glitters!

Studio 54 is a gorgeous gold glitter bomb. My absolute favorite part is the stars, haha. This one is packed with holo gold glitter, making it so fun to look at.

Two coats over a Sinful Colors pink. I was going to swatch this over black but the pink seemed more fitting for my mood that day, girly. And once more, no fishing for the glitter!

I absolutely cannot wait to make another polish! I hope you guys are inspired by my creations and give Nayll a try. I can guarantee that you will not be disapointed! :)

Colgate Optic White Review

Hi all! Long time since I've written. If you follow me on Instagram then you know I had given up blogging for a while. I was struggling with some things and my focus was not where it was supposed to be, but things have changed in the past couple weeks and I am back! I have a couple posts planned for the next few weeks, and I hope you will like them! Also, if you have any requests please let me know!

Any who, about two weeks ago I received a package containing the Optic White toothbrush and toothpaste from Colgate. I had heard about this a couple times, and had seen it at my local shops, but completely ignored it. I wish I hadn't. Since I have used this, I have noticed my teeth whitening. 

I find this system to be easy to use, and well worth the money. Brush, whiten and go; it is that simple. 

I do have to say that the first time I used the brush I hated it! The package said the bristles were soft, but they were far from it. The bristles were very stiff and rough on my teeth. I almost didn't want to finish brushing the first time. Luckily, the bristles soften up by the third or fourth use. There is nothing, in my opinion, extraordinary with the toothbrush. To me, it is just like any other toothbrush out there. The only thing that sets it apart in that it stores the whitening pen.

The whitening paste that comes with this is to be used after brush, and left on your teeth. I was a bit hesitant to use it because from past experiences the whitening pastes leave a nasty taste in my mouth and make my teeth sensitive, but it was not the case with this one. The paste goes on smoothly, and it is easy to spread with the gripped tip of the pen. Also, the paste does not leave a nasty taste in your mouth; I found it to be a bit sweet. Another thing that was important to me was the feel the paste would leave and I was surprised that it couldn't even tell I had it on. The only time I knew was the first time and the first few minutes, after that I could not tell it was on. The paste did not make food make taste gross either.

I highly recommend this system to anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. It is inexpensive, compared to other whitening systems, and easy to use. It takes no more than 5 minutes of your day! 

I would show pictures of the whitening process, but my teeth are not perfect and it is something I am conscious about, sorry! But I can guarantee that you will see a difference, and that you will love it. 

Thanks to Influenster for sending me this product for free in exchange for a review!
