Royal Polish Ocean Potion and Soft Sands

**press sample**

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday! I'm really glad the weekend is here... I have a LOT of swatching to do, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :) 

Today I have the last 2 polishes from the Sea Dreams Collection, Ocean Potion and Soft Sands. 

First up, Ocean Potion.
  




Ocean Potion is a shimmery blue jelly with various sizes of blue, green, and iridescent hex glitters and a few blue squares mixed in there. 

For this mani I applied 3 thin coats and topped it with 1 coat of Glossy Glam. Just like all of the other Royal Polishes I've tried, this one applied smooth and easy. I did do a little placement with the larger hexes, but that was just because I wanted to not because I had to. 

I love that this is a jelly base but that it has a healthy amount of iridescence in it. It's really pretty! 

And last but certainly not least, Soft Sands. 





Soft Sands is a nude/beige polish with holographic shimmer throughout. I would call this a scattered holo, not a linear holo. 

For this mani I used 3 coats of Soft Sands and topped it with 1 coat of Glossy Glam. Soft Sands went on like a dream, I can still see a little bit of nail line, which I don't normally like. Bu with this polish it worked ok for me. And Violet made a nude that's actually nude on me. ON ME! Usually only white polishes look remotely nude on me, but this one actually does. lol I really like it. And the hint of holo sparkle takes it up a notch and makes it a little glitzy. Very nice!

I'm kinda sad to be finished swatching my first collection from Royal Polish. I hope I get to swatch more very soon! 

All of these polishes are currently available on the Royal Polish website here

Glossy Glam topcoat is available on Just Ricarda's Etsy store here

So what do you think about this collection? I loved it. Tidal Glow was definitely my #1 pick of all of the bunch, but I really liked them all. The application and formula on these is fantastic. Royal Polish is a relatively new brand, but I think we're gonna see some great things from Violet! Thank you dear for letting me swatch for you! I hope to work with you again sometime very soon!

I'll talk to you all soon! I have lots of swatches and nail art coming your way very soon!
