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.

Dr.'s REMEDY ~ Spring 2019 Duo

 It's the weekend y'all! As much as I would love to be happy with most of you, Friday is actually my Tuesday lol. My weekend is Tuesday and Wednesday. Either way, I have some new stuff to brighten our night 😁 Dr.'s REMEDY is the ultimate polish for nail health. Keep reading for more info and links. For now, let's check out the goods!




PERFECT Petal Pink is a sheer baby pink crelly polish. The formula on this polish was a tad picky. I find colors like this in a crelly formula can often be picky so it's really on track with other polishes. This is perfect for French manicures or just swipe on 1 quick coat for a pink tint to your nails. Also great for glitter sammiches!! I could not help myself when I polished. I had to do French tips 💖 I used 3 thin coats plus top coats for my swatches.

SOULFUL Slate Blue is a heathered blue crème polish. Absolutely fantastic! This baby could easily be a 1 coater. It goes on nice a smooth. Everything about this color is amazing. I feel that this is one of those colors that would look great on any skin tone. It's just so very pretty. I used 2 coats plus top coats for my swatches.

LevelUP Lacquer ~ April '19 PPU ~ YouTube Swatch

LevelUP Lacquer ~ April '19 PPU

*Provided for review


Hi! How are you doing this fine evening? I just watched The Walking Dead season 9 finale. Disappointed is an understatement. WTH! I expected some type of action. Well, let me show you something that is the complete opposite of disappointing. LevelUP Lacquer is back for April's PPU and Ash nailed it ❤ She was inspired by this famous work of art.



Love Without Limits is a classic white crelly with mixed black and red glitter and a scattered holo shine. Formula on this was great for a crelly base. Plenty of glitter so no fishing. The glitter also lays nice and flat. 2 coats would work but I did add a 3rd just because I'm me lol. Don't forget that glitter polishes are harder to remove so to make it easier use a peel off base coat. I used 3 thin coats for my swatches. Please be easy on my art. We all know that I am not an artist!!
