Dr.’s Remedy ~ Peace, Love, Sunshine Trio

 *These polishes were provided for review



Hello! How has your week been? Mine has been pretty typical of a stay at home mom with a 6 month old! My son is just a super happy baby so its almost all fun... almost lol. Today I am bringing you the Peace, Love, Sunshine Collection from Dr.'s Remedy. Remember them? I have had them on my blog a few times. In case you don't, here is some info. Dr.'s Remedy polishes are formulated by doctors. They are vegan and totally safe to use. I won't weigh this post down so I am going to link their info HERE. Please go visit and see what they have to offer. Oh! One more thing. The polishes are filled with things like: tea tree oil, biotin, wheat protein, and other vitamins! Ok. Moving on.  

                                       





Sweet Soleil is a soft buttery yellow creme polish. I expected to have issues with the application but I had none!! Yellows can be picky so I was very happily surprised. The formula of this polish is perfectly creamy while also being very opaque. If you polish on the thicker side you could get away with 1 coat. I used 2 coats for my swatches. 














POLISHED Pale Peach is a gorgeous pale peachy pink. This color leaned nude as well. This is perfect for the end of summer. PPP is also a super work friendly color. Just one of those super simple must haves. Again, this was really opaque. Well, they are all very opaque. I used 2 coats for my swatch. 









TACTFUL Turmeric is the perfect sunset yellow-orange. Ya know the one I mean? The super bold sun? That one! TT really stands out on the nail. It has an extremely nice creme formula. This is screaming summer to me. I used 2 smooth coats for me swatch. 








Overall this collection really comes through for the later part of summer. Not even gonna try and say that I won’t use these all year because I will. They are just completely effortless to apply. The Peace, Love, Sunshine Collection is actually all sold separately so you don’t have to get all three together. You can mix and match with any of their colors. Dr.’s Remedy polishes are $17.25 a piece. Absolutely worth it considering the ingredients and quality. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope to see you soon :)

Hey my lovely readers! How are you on this fine 50 degree winter day??? Well, not technically winter, but seriously 50?!?! What is going on? It's really hard to get into the holiday spirit when it doesn't feel like the season. So today, I am bringing you so brightness. I have a new to me brand, Dimension Nails, that is 10-free, cruelty free, and 100% vegan! I have 2 polishes and a stamping plate so lets get to it!



The first polish we have is Mako Shark. It is a deep teal crème polish that is very opaque. The formula was super smooth like butter. An all around fantastic polish. I used 2 coats plus top coat for my swatch. The flash pic is color accurate. It was coming off a bit bluer without the flash.

Here is Mako Shark with some silver flakies added to it. The how-to will be in my swatch video for these babies!

The second polish is Raspberry Cordial. This one is even more opaque than Mako Shark. A total one coater if you polish carefully. I used 2 coats plus top coat for my swatch of Raspberry Cordial. Mostly just an OCD thing. Again, this polish is effortlessly applied.

**Be careful when painting and removing these polishes! Due to the highly pigmented nature of these polishes, they can stain!


The art I did over this color was using the stamping plate that I chose to review.




The stamper I chose to use ended up not being a good one for the plate. It happens. After I was done filming, I tried 2 of my other "go-to" stampers. There was a huge difference once I found THE stamper. The 3 stamper I used are a big marshmallow stamper, a silver fancy stamper, and a long clear stamper. These were my findings:

big marshmallow stamper, squishy head

fancy silver stamper, firm head

long clear stamper, medium firmness

You can clearly see the difference

This is just a better angle to show Mako Shark stamped over black



 The stamping I did on my actual nails came out pretty descent. Next time I will use another stamper. The plate itself is etched perfectly.
