Freida Love by Flash Your Tips

Before we get into the meat of this review, a quick recap: I've already posted about the other three colors in Flash Your Tip's All My Sisters line, and they can be seen here: Cupid Stunt, Daisy Chain and Hellena Handbasket. 

The final polish in the line up is Fredia Love, twin sister to Daisy Chain, but with hot pink and green glitters replacing the yellow and white. This is three coats over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lightening, topped with Seche Vite. Photos taken under Ott Lite. 

I had a bit of trouble finding a layering combo I liked with this polish. I tried several different pairings before I came up with this combo, that I loved! This polish was a little trick on application, as the glitter applied sparser than any of the others. My pinkie nail is only sporting two coats, and you can see the difference in coverage. I also dabbed this one on, more than painted it, to achieve more even coverage. Otherwise, no issues! I love the fun color combo and the squares, and the full sized bottles (mine is a mini) are just too cute! 

Flash Your Tips polishes are available on Etsy in both full and mini sizes. Be sure to stop by and like on Facebook as well!

Hellena Handbasket by Flash Your Tips

Today's installment of NTP's Adventures in Polishland brings us to another Flash Your Tips polish: Hellena Handbasket! Hellena Handbasket (how cute is that name?) is from the All My Sisters line, and contains baby and hot pink satin hexes and black and white small hexes in a clear base. 

This is two coats of Hellena Handbasket over China Glaze Immortal, topped with Seche Vite. Photos are taken outdoors in natural sunlight. 

Hellena Handbasket is an adorable glitter combo- very simple, yet very unique. It applies smoothly and evenly, with no glitter fishing or placing require. The glitter is not so packed that it completely obliterates your base color, which is something that I love. I usually prefer a lighter coverage with glitter topcoats, so that I can fully customize the amount of glitter that I show on each nail. This does not disappoint in that regard. I decided to layer Hellena Handbasket over a grey shimmer, but I think that it would work well over pretty much any color in your stash- after all, what doesn't go with pink?

Flash Your Tips polishes are available on Etsy- $3 mini and $7 full- and the bottles are too adorable for words! Be sure to like Flash Your Tips on Facebook as well.

Cupid Stunt by Flash Your Tips: Swatch and Review

Good morning my lovelies! Do I have a busy weekend for you, or what? I've got quite a few posts planned each day, as I have several Valentine's inspired polishes I want to show off with enough time to order, I still owe you two days from Crumpet's 31 Day Challenge, and I want to give you a good look at my new polishes! We'll get right down into the first post:

Today's polish is Cupid Stunt by Flash Your Tips. Cupid Stunt is from the brand new All My Sisters Collection, and while the name implies VDay, it is really not holiday specific. This is two coats over Sinful Colors Black on Black, topped with Seche Vite. Photos taken under Ott Lite.

Rachel from Flash Your Tips calls Cupid Stunt "a fabulous Glitter topcoat", and she couldn't be more right! This polish is soo blingy, my camera just spazzed out. It's a clear based topcoat just packed full of silver holo micro bars and hexes, accented with red satin hexes. I went with black undies to show the bling to its fullest, but the possibilities are endless: over pink or violet to play up the Valentine's angle, over blue for Independance/Memorial/other American patriotic holiday, over golds and oranges for fall, over green for Christmas . . . don't let the name fool you into thinking this polish is a one trick pony. 

Blurred out photo to show all the holo-y goodness. This is definitely a distracting polish in the sun!

Yay, my camera finally caught a good one! This polish is super packed with glitter, and thus required a bit of patience in application. The glitters had a tendency to clump a bit, and needed to be spread out. For the glitter payoff, I don't think that's unreasonable, or even unusual. This polish could probably be opaque (though quite blinding!) on it's own at 4-ish coats. 

I have all four of the All My Sisters polishes (you can see Daisy Chain here, the rest will be up later this weekend), and picking a favorite is just . . . not possible :) Cupid Stunt was definitely the most eye-catching right out of the package, but the color combinations that Rachel has created are truly unique, and quite stunning.

Daisy Chain by Flash Your Tips: Swatch & Review

Does anything say "Welcome Spring" quite like a daisy? I submit that it does not! Daisies have always been my favorite flower, especially those tiny, delicate ones (that are probably not actually called daisies). I've also declared that Yellow is my Official Color for the end of winter. I'm so sick of cold and snow and grey skies, that I've been wearing quite a bit of yellow to cheer myself up! The mani I'm showing you today definitely put a smile on my face every time I looked at it :)

Meet Daisy Chain by Flash Your Tips. Daisy Chain is a clear based glitter topper filled with yellow and white satin squares alone with tiny black glitters. This is two coats over Sinful Colors Dream On, topped with Seche Vite. Photos are taken under Ott Lite.

I chose to layer Daisy Chain over this bright and cheery purple, as I really wanted the yellow to pop. I swatched it over a grassy green, but Dream On seems to be the perfect match (although Kansas Nail Graffiti has it swatched over a sweet pink jelly that is lovely as well)!

Daisy Chain went on smoothly enough to make me smile as well. The glitter was plentiful, and I didn't experience any dragging whatsoever. I think I love this glitter enough to go back for a full sized bottle! 

Daisy Chain is a part of Flash Your Tips' brand new All My Sisters line, and I do have the other three colors coming up for you! All polishes are available on Etsy, where minis run $3, and full size $7. Be sure to stop and like Rachel and Flash Your Tips on Facebook as well! I heard something about a giveaway . . . :)
