Aqua Daisy: Purple Heart

I'm posting at an earlier time because I will be a very lucky girl this evening -- I have tickets to Drake and I'm so excited to see him live. I think I'm getting to the point where I might be the old lady at concerts. That also means that I've surpassed the point of caring what I look like at concerts and will be in jeans and a hoodie. 

So here is another great polish from Aqua Daisy -- Purple Heart. Purple Heart is a dark purple jelly with hex and square glitters throughout. You can see that some of the glitters appear to have a colorshifting, holographic quality to them in the photos below.

And here she is on the nails. Such a beauty! Application was flawless and dry time was fast. And no staining on the nails despite the dark color of the base. Overall I was a very happy camper.

Aqua Daisy: Succulent

Aqua Daisy is a new-to-me Etsy store that sells polishes, hair ties, and barrettes.  I kept coming back to the Aqua Daisy shop and finally broke down and made a purchase. I scored two polishes during the week and they arrived yesterday. Needless to say, Aqua Daisy has VERY fast shipping.

One of my purchases included Succulent, a mint hued, creme based polish with two different sized pink hex glitters dispersed throughout. 

For all photos I used two coats of Succulent with one coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

The application on this polish was seriously flawless. Almost complete opacity with one coat but I always apply two to get as much depth as possible. There was just the right amount of glitter in Succulent. Not too much that it affected application but definitely not too little either. This was an excellently balanced polish and you can tell a lot of work was likely put into this to obtain the perfect formulation.
