Glisten & Glow ~ Babes & Blossoms Cremes

*Provided for review


 Hello! I have such cute polishes to show you today!! Glisten & Glow has released the Babes & Blossoms collection made of 4 cremes and 4 crellies. This post will be all about the cremes. lets get to it!



Ponies & Poppies is a light pastel purple crème polish. Remember the big deal over muted neons? This is the pastel version. It's a lighter version of pastel. All the cremes are. Definitely unique! The formula is good! These could all be 1 coat cremes if you're careful. I of course used 1 more coat than necessary 😑 My swatches show 2 coats.

Bunnies & Buttercups is a light pastel yellow crème polish. I am a sucker for a good pastel yellow. This is for sure the best I own. My other fave is a Sally Hansen I have been very frugal with for 5 years now lol. Formula is great and could be a 1 coater. Amazing for pastel cremes!! I used 2 coats for my swatches of course.

Calves & Carnations is a light pastel peach crème. This is another color that is a must have for me. I really don't like plain white nails on myself and this gives me that perfect tint. Absolutely fabulous formula. I used 2 coats for my swatches.

Goslings & Gardenias is a light pastel grass green crème polish. I just realized how much I need this collection lol. These are all color staples for me. all colors I would totally grab in person! My husband always picks on me about needing a separate Helmer just for my pastel/minty greens 😂 I really just cant help myself. I used 2 coats for this one. This one had the best formula of all in my opinion. Freaking fabulous.

Stella Chroma ~ Basics Collection

*Provided for review


I'm back! This time I bring you a Basics Collection. 2 wonderful crème polish  that will be perfect for all your blank canvas needs! Pam from Stella Chroma makes fantastic polish so you will want to grab these. Shall we?



High Noon "is a creamy white that is opaque in 2 easy coats. Pure, stark white that is great to use as undies under pale colors, or to help neons pop. Also great for nail art or when you feel like a palate cleanser." I did feel that this was a bit more crelly like. Still an amazing white polish. I just used 3 thin coats instead of 2 for my swatches. Check Out We're Golden from the Americana Collection stamped!!

New Moon "is a glossy black cream that is opaque in 2 easy coats. Coal black as a new moon and perfect as undies to our Constellations polishes or for use in nail art. Also great for channeling your inner Goth kid." This one is a crème for sure. If you polish thick enough you could totally pull off 1 coat! This polish dried so shiny. Fantabulous formula. I used 2 thin coats for my swatches. I also stamped this with We're Golden. Do you see the change? Aaahhhhhh it's so amazing!

BravesDiva Polish ~ Nana's Island Escape

*Provided for review
*Picture heavy


Hey! This post is gonna be about the best cremes I have ever used. Many have great crème polishes but these just top them all. This is my first time working with Tara of BravesDiva Polish and I couldn't be happier with first impressions! Tara is super laid back about all the behind the scenes stuff. Did I mention she also makes exquisite crème polishes?? I just seriously can't get over them. The Nana's Island Escape trio was inspired by Tara's mom's favorite place on earth, Exuma Island in the Bahamas. Shall we get to the dream cremes? Thought so 😉



Tropic Of Cancer is a burnt orange crème polish. Yo..... I don't even like this color normally but this one is my favorite. They all have perfect formulas but this is better than perfect. It's a super polish. This polish is easily a 1 coater. Smoother than butter to apply. Just all around the best polish I have ever used. I used 2 coats for my swatch just because that's how I do. Not only does it apply marvelously, it also stamps and water marbles. So ya, a super polish.

Thunderball Grotto is a soft yellow-orange crème polish. Anyone else see mac and cheese?? This color is literally so yummy looking lol. This one is just a smooth as TOC but this one definitely needs 2 coats. It's better than any other yellow I have. Such a warm inviting color. This polish also stamps and water marbles. I used 3 thin coats for my swatch.

Paradise Bay is an aqua crème polish. This one is dreamy. Definitely makes me want to go to the tropics. This one leans more crelly like in my humble opinion. Still just as fabulous as the others! I mean, the color alone makes me happy so the fact that it pretty much applies itself is just an extra bonus. Just like the other 2 this polish stamps and water marbles. This will be used lots in my summer art!! I used 2 perfect coats for my swatches.
