Pretty & Polished What a Mighty Good Mani Collection - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Tonight's post is the new Pretty & Polished What a Mighty Good Mani Collection!
I hope you all have been having a good weekend! I still can't believe it's August already!

Put a Bling on it! - Two coats over Sation Sun Worship-Her.
Pretty and Polished  This is F$@‪#‎ing‬ Awesome
This is F$@#ing‬ Awesome - One coat with a bit of dabbing over Finger Paints 15 Minutes of Frame.
Pretty and Polished  You Down With PnP Ya You Know Me!
You down with PnP, Ya you know me! - Three coats.

_______________________________________________________


My favorite from this collection is You down with PnP, Ya you know me.I just love that murky grey/green base and the blue and green glitters pop in it!I Don't Think You're Ready For This Crelly is a little tough, 
the base is perfect it applies so smooth and nice but the glitters were a bit sparse
 so if you dislike placing glitters or fishing I might skip that one.

I suggest two coats of topcoat for Nails Up & Touch the Sky,
 the glitters are a little chunky so two coats helps smooth it out.
And with This is F$@#ing‬ Awesome I did a bit of dabbing but it was very minimal,
Overall this collection has good application & formulation & I love the variety in this collection!



You can purchase Pretty & Polished products from the http://www.shopprettyandpolished.com/ and Etsy.

but seriously impressive formulas and dispersion! They really glide on evenly, so easily.

Today's post is my very first experience with the brand Sation! A brand I've been wanting to try for ages!
So scroll down to see my thoughts and swatches! (Plus some nail art!)

I really can't say enough how wonderful these polishes are! They have terrific formula's and go on so smoothly and dry quite fast. They are also affordable so that is a big plus!

I'm a sucker for a gorgeous pink so Queenie in a Bottle is my favorite! 
Along with Plenty of Frogs and You're my Lacquer Charm!
Prairie Fairy doesn't look wonderful with my skin tone but I'm dying to stamp over it! 


Sation polishes are available for purchase on the Miss Professional website.

I used all of the polishes in this post, with the exception of Money Badger  to do the striped mani below.
I used nail tape and a striping brush. Unfortunately it smudged a little during topcoat application.

Sation Stripey Mani


My daughter asked me to paint her nails with Queenie so I gladly obliged, then I asked her what she wanted on top! Flowers? Polka Dots? And she chose Polka Dots! I added the dots with a dotting tool and Rock A Guy Blue.
Then I decided to do my nails to match hers. 

I did my nails while she was on my lap and the topcoat smudged here also so needless to say they are far from perfect but I loved matching our nails together. :) (Who knows of a smudge proof topcoat? I used SV) 
Polka Dots Skylar's Polka Dot Nails Mommy & Me Matching mani's!

What can I say about these besides how awesome they are?!
It's so nice to see a mainstream brand capture something properly that we've seen many indies do!
The formula of these polishes is very consistent, they are a little thick but still applied pretty easy and evenly for me. 

You will need to double up on a good thicker topcoat such as SV or Gelous.


You can purchase Salon Perfect nail polish from your local Walmart for a limited time 
at $3.98 each.

Which of these if your favorite? Have you purchased any of these?

I really love these polishes! The glitter topcoats like Farore, Nayru are a little thirsty though.
I should have used another coat of topcoat but I didn't notice 
until the photos. Not biggie if you are using a thicker one like SV. I was very impressed with Carissa's formulas, they all go on so smooth and great especially the holos!
The holo shades are special too, not run in the mill they have pretty shimmer in them too! It's easiest to see in Unicorn Spell. Dragon is super amazing, I mean I love these all I can't choose favorites! 
Eponymous Princess slightly reminds me of NOPI Kimpletely in Love.


You can purchase Starlight and Sparkles polishes from Carissa's Etsy shop. Her polishes range from $3.00-$6.50 for mini's and $7.00-$16.00 for full size bottles.
