Bubbles N Balms Swatches

Today I have some polishes sent for review from Bubbles N Balms. Renee, the creator, does soaps, lotions, scrubs, as well as polishes. I even got a sample of her sugar scrub and I have to say, it was amazing. I used about a teaspoon of the scrub with warm water and my hands were so smooth and refreshed. I highly suggest you check out her shop (link at the bottom).

On to the polish, all are shown without base and top coat.

Emerald Bay:  Renee says this is "A blend of opalescent and green micro glitter suspended in in a deep emerald green jelly. Opaque in 2-3 coats." I much prefer this polish layered verse alone. You can see why in the swatches. My nails are fairly long, so I needed three coats. On all the other nails, I used one coat of Emerald Bay. I think the combo of Emerald Bay and Illamasqua Muse were made for each other. This is the perfect St. Patrick's Day polish for someone who wants glitter, but something that isn't so in your face.

Index to pinky: 3 coats alone, one coat over Zoya Evvie, Illamasqua Muse, Butter London Jack the Lad

Galaxy: This glitter combination is mostly blue and "is packed with different shapes, shades and sizes of holo and matte blue glitter and a titch of iridescence." While not normally a matte glitter fan, I think the blue matte hexes give a great balance to the holographic glitter in this one.

Index to pinky: One coat over Pure Ice Blue Midnight, L'oreal Raven's Strength, Zoya Robyn, Ulta Taupe on a Rope

Party Pants: This glitter is a "a sheer purple & black glitter polish" with iridescent glitters. This is the one I probably should have done two coats of. I recently put this over Illamasqua Baptiste on my sister and it looked amazing.

Index to pinky: One coat over Zoya Mira, Pure Ice Temptress, Essence Blue Ray, L'oreal Raven's Strength

All of the glitters went on smoothly with one coat. Some I probably should have done two coats because of the mini bottle, but I feel like if you order full size bottles, one coat is all you need. Application was great--the glitters were neither too thick or too thin. None of the glitters were curled and felt relatively smooth without any top coat.  

You can find Bubbles N Balms polishes and beauty products at her Etsy shop here. Here polishes range from $4.25 for minis to $8.25 for full size polishes. She even has some on sale right now. All of her beauty products are also reasonable priced so check it out.
