Glitter Gal MACONII Review

Today I have six gorgeous polishes by Glitter Gal that Maconii sent me to review.

First up I have "Believe", a gorgeous coral pink polish with a glossy shine. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Application was effortless due to the small brush size. Believe had a great formula which self levelled well and dried very quickly. 
I'm not a very "pink" person, however I loved this polish from the moment I saw it! I love coral colours! 
This polish is available exclusively at Maconii.

Next up I have "Empower", a lovely lavender polish with a glossy shine. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Believe applied effortlessly to the nail and self levelled well. It had a great brush size which made application even easier. It also dried very quickly. 
I don't know why, but this polish shouted "Easter" at first sight. I think I might have to do an Easter design with it! 
This polish is available exclusively at Maconii.
Empower
 
 


Next I have "Cheeky", a gorgeous sky blue polish with a glossy shine. This polish was opaque in one thick coat. Application was effortless, courtesy to the great brush size and formula which self levelled well and dried very quickly. 
This is one of my favourite blue polishes! I absolutely love this colour, it's generally my favourite colour.  
This polish is available exclusively at Maconii.
Cheeky
 
 


Next I have "Confidence", a stunning dusty navy polish with a glossy shine. This polish was opaque in one thick coat. Confidence applied effortlessly to the nail and self levelled well. It had a great brush size and dried very quickly. 
This wouldn't be a colour I'd usually go for, but I'll admit it did presently surprise me. This was probably the shiniest polish in this collection. 
This polish is available exclusively at Maconii.
Confidence 
 
 


Next I have "Turbulence", an amazing silver holographic polish. This polish was opaque in three thin coats. Application was effortless due to the small brush size and formula which self levelled well and dried very quickly. 
I think this polish was meant to be a holographic top coat, but I didn't realise that until I was half way through swatching it. Either way, this polish is magical! The holographic pigment is really strong, possibly stronger than my Color Club silver holographic polish.
This polish is available exclusively at Maconii.
Turbulence 
 
 


Last I have "Brain Freeze", an incredible black holographic polish. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Brain Freeze applied effortlessly to the nail, courtesy to the great brush size. The formula was fantastic, it self levelled well and dried very quickly! 
Ever since I was introduced to holographic polishes, I've wanted a black one! When I was told I was being sent one to review, you can imagine my excitement. This polish lived up to my expectations and single handily blew my mind!
Brain Freeze
 
 


Before I was asked to review these polishes, I'd never heard of Glitter Gal. Boy, I've been missing out! This brand is amazing, I didn't have ANY problems whatsoever. They applied like a charm, which made life a whole lot easier for me. I highly recommend this brand. They were all super shiny, possibly the shiniest polishes I own.

Maconii is an Australian stock list for nail polish. They don't just stock nail polish, but their other products are not related to this review. They stock big brands like Fun Lacquer, Color Club, Ms. Sparkle, Ella + Mila and Cupcake Polish, just to name a few. They have a store located in Melbourne where you can check out the polishes, although they don't bring all their stock in store. If there's a polish you would like to purchase in store, you can email them and ask them to bring it in store. They also have a website and eBay store, so if you can't travel to their store you can always have it posted. And the best news... They ship internationally! I've purchased a couple of polishes from their store (Color Club), and I was 100% satisfied with their service and products! Thank you Yeung for sending me these goodies to review :)

You can purchase these polishes (and many more), from their:
Shop: The Paramount Centre
Shop 22 / 108 Bourke St
​Melbourne, Vic, 3000

SM Nail Polish Dreaming of Summer Collection

Today I have six polishes from the Dreaming of Summer Collection by SM Nail Polish to review.

First up I have "Leaf me Alone", a leaf green polish that shifts to an autumn gold. This polish was opaque in two thick coats. Leaf me Alone applied effortlessly to the nail and self levelled well. It had a great brush size and dried very quickly. 
This colour is a perfect autumn shade! It's probably the best colour shifter in this collection.
This polish will be releasing on SM Nail Polish's Etsy store this Thursday, 23rd of March at 5pm AEST time. Use my code haley10 for 10% off any order over $20AUD.

Next I have "Last Summers Night", a gorgeous teal blue polish that lightly shifts to purple . This polish was opaque in two thick coats. Application was effortless due to the great formula which self levelled well and dried rather quickly. Last Summers Night also had a great brush size.
This colour reminds me of the sky just before it gets dark, which I'm guessing is hence the name.

Next I have "Blown Away" a stunning polish with an array of glitter. This polish was opaque in one thick coat, but you could also do two thin coats if you prefer. Application was effortless, courtesy to the great brush size and formula which self levelled well. Blown Away also dried very quickly. 
This colour is so unique! I don't own any polish like it, which says a lot as I own a lot of nail polish!

I love a good rose gold polish, this one would have to be my favourite! I don't think it really belonged in this collection, but that doesn't change how much I love it.

I don't own many flakie polishes, so I was so happy when I recieved this! This is by far my favourite flakie polish I own.

I highly enjoyed reviewing this collection. The polishes were amazing, the formula for each polish was flawless. It seems to me like Shakila (SM Nail Polish owner) has improved her formula in the way that it lasts longer without chipping than her other polishes I previously reviewed. This collection will be releasing on her website this Thursday, the 23rd of March. I highly recommend these polishes, I'd definitely check out her Etsy store!

SM Nail Polish Review

Today I have three polishes from the Hidden Depths Collection to review and a cuticle oil by SM Nail Polish. 

First up I have "Blessing in Disguise", an autumn green/gold holographic polish. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Blessing in Disguise applied effortlessly to the nail and self levelled well. It had a great brush size and dried very quickly. 
This wouldn't be a colour that would catch my eye if I was looking at polishes, but this polish sure did presently surprise me! I think it'll be a great autumn polish (which is ideal as Autumn has just arrived here in Australia). 
This polish is now available on SM Nail Polish's Etsy store for just $8.

Next I have "Mum's the World", a gorgeous hot pink holographic polish. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Application was effortless due to the great formula which self levelled well and dried rather quickly. Mum's the World also had a great brush size.
The holographic pigment wasn't very strong in this polish compared to most holographic polishes, but it depends what you're into. I love a strong holographic polish but again it depends on the occasion and what you're into.
This polish is available on SM Nail Polish's Etsy store for just $8.

Next I have "Guarded Secret" a stunning deep purple holographic polish. This polish was opaque in two thin coats. Application was effortless, courtesy to the great brush size and formula which self levelled well. Guarded Secret also dried very quickly. 
This polish was my favourite out of the three I recieved, it definitely had the strongest holographic pigment, and I love a good purple polish!
This polish is available on SM Nail Polish's Etsy store for just $8.
Guarded Secret
 
 

Last I have their "Ultra Therapeutic Cuticle Oil". This oil was very moisturising and absorbed into my nail quicker than any cuticle oil I've tried. It's made with these four oils: Hazulnut oil, jojoba oil, avacado oil and vitamin e oil. As soon as I saw that jojoba oil was an ingredient this product immediately caught my eye! Jojoba oil is essential in a good cuticle oil. My only fault was that I had to apply it more times than I usually do with my other cuticle oil or else my nails started to get dry. 
This cuticle oil is available on SM Nail Polish's Etsy store for just $6.

SM Polish have not let me down! The products they sent me were fantastic, you'll be seeing more of them on my Instagram account! The formula of each polish was basically flawless, but I'd recommend using a top coat if you're wanting to wear it for more than a couple days. SM Polish's products are also affordable, especially for an Indie company. Thank you Shakila for sending me these beauties to review x
