My True Love Creations ~ Winter Collection

Hi all! Tonight I have for you, the Winter Collection from none other than MTL <3 There are 2 creme polishes with glitter and a glitter topper in a clear base. I really loved all of these. I know I always say that lol, but its so true. Cherise makes great polish!! She keeps getting better too! If I had to pick a favorite I would be screwed! Can't do it! Lets do this alphabetically then, shall we? First up is Deck The Halls. This polish is bright white with tons of  icy shimmer. It has the perfect amount of micro, small, and medium red holo glitters. I also has a nice smooth formula. Super stunning in person! 3 coats plus topcoat for this swatch!

 

 

Next we have Frost Bite. This is almost the same as Deck The Halls but not quite. It is also a bright white base and has the same types and sizes of glitters. This polish though, does not have shimmer. And it also has a little more glitter than DTH. I actually used this polish to make a polish ornament with because I wanted to keep it forever!! Wonderful formula!! 3 coats and topcoat pictured here.

 

Lastly but definitely not the least is Sugar Plum Gumdrops. This polish is packed with micro fuchsia glitters and small transparent fuchsia hexes. I love this so very much! Something about the see through glitters always gets me. They can layer and change colors depending on how you wear them! I wore it here over a light lilac. 2 coats on all fingers but my pointer. I only used 1 coat for that finger so you could see the glitter payoff with one coat. It has just enough bigger glitters for me! Perfect!!

 

I hope you enjoyed these polishes!! They are very versatile given the colors so I will be using these long after winter! Thanks for reading :)

 

 

My True Love Creations ~ St. Patrick's Day Duo

Happy Thursday friends! Weekend is almost here!! So, who here is Irish? I am not and neither is my husband but we love green! Especially this minty green I have for you tonight! When I opened my swatch package, this was the first one I grabbed. It's called Magically Mint. Such a creamy, even formula. It has the most awesome combination of blue and gold shimmers that matches this green wonderfully! I used 3 thin coats (as always lol) and a glossy topcoat. Such a beautiful medium mint green! On my accent I used the other half of this duo called Floating Charms*. 

 

 

*The glitter half of this set started out with the name Floating Charms. Some of the glitters have sunk leading to a name change, Sinking Charms, and a discounted price so make sure you grab this asap!! It is very unique!!

Sinking Charms was a very hard glitter to pair good undies with. I wanted you to be able to see the true colors of the glitters while still keeping the St. Patty's Day theme. I originally went with a cream color but it looked like camo lol. I ended up putting it over its other half, Magically Mint. Ok, let's see, this polish is a clear base that has: micro gold glitters; small grayish-mintish, green holo, and crinkled silver hexes; large black, transparent green, and transparent yellow hexes! Seriously, the use of see through glitters is awesome!!!! I love love love them! And I say crinkled silver hexes but I really am not sure if that's right lol!  They are textured almost. You will see what I mean in the macro. Its super fun!! I used 1 dabbed coat of Sinking Charms over MM with a glossy topcoat. My glitters didn't sink very much so application was pretty easy. Good formula.

 

These will be released on February 26th! Follow MTL on Instagram here for updates!!

 

My True Love Creations ~ Valentine's Day Trio

Hello again! How are we all doing? Most of you, I'm sure, are prepping for the romantic day that is Valentine's Day! I, on the other hand am prepping for an INTENSE week I have coming up!! Between my sister and I, we have managed to have 4 kids within 2 weeks of each other! Heres the breakdown! Abigail, my oldest, will be 12 on March 4th. Mary-Jane, my sisters daughter, will be 1 on March 5th. Keira, my youngest, will be 9 on March 10th. And finally, my sister is due with a little boy on March 12th! Can you believe that?! Hmmmm, this blog is supposed to be about polish you say? Fine with me! Here it is!! The best work from Cherise yet!! I just love her polish! I always gush to my husband while swatching lol. For the Valentines Day trio there are 2 awesomely squishy jellies and 1 very pretty, girly glitter. Lets start with Cupid's Crush. There is nothing better than a bold red jelly that is super juicy and practically applies itself! I did leave a little extra dry time between coats because jellies definitely drag if not dry. There was not one single issue with this polish at all, actually for any of these! Here is Cupid's Crush. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy topcoat. On my accent I used Stardust, also one of MTL's polishes!

 

Next is The Nights Affair. This was the same formula as CC, just a deep plumy purple instead of red. Smooth as butter! This is 3 coats with a glossy topcoat. On my accent I used a large heart stud that I got in a swap at some point.

 

 

This Macro is under a different light on my desk but this is more color accurate!

 

Lastly, I have Sweet Emotions. This is a glitter in a clear base. There are micro holo silver glitters, small purple hexes, and medium lavender hexes. Its so girly and fun! I did a sideways gradient using a pastel pink and purple, then used one coat of Sweet Emotions on top! All with a glossy topcoat of course! Great formula as usual and no fishing at all!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I have and will!!
