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!

Royal Polish Tidal Glow & Please Kelp Me!

**press sample**

Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday! It is Thursday right? Last week I went through 3/4 of the day Wednesday before I realized that is wasn't Thursday. Don't you hate it when that happens? 

So, today I have 2 more polishes from the Royal Polish Sea Dreams Collection for you to enjoy. I really love this collection folks, I hope my pictures do it justice! 

First up is Tidal Glow.




Tidal Glow is a blue polish packed with all different colors of flakies, a whole rainbow of them. 

Oh my goodness this polish.... it's like a bright blue opal on your fingers. I think out of all 6 it is my very favorite. For this mani I used 3 coats of Tidal Glow and added 1 coat of Glossy Glam. Application was smooth and the flakies are evenly and densely packed. LOVE. 

Next up is Please Kelp Me!





Please Kelp Me! is available in 2 formulas, either a clear base or a shimmery green base. I went with the green base, because I really do love polishes that build on their own. Its got a gorgeous shimmery green base, filled with green and gold hex glitters. 

For this mani I used 3 coats of Please Kelp Me! and topped it with 1 coat of Glossy Glam. The formula on this polish was really great too. Honestly Violet is doing such a fantastic job on her formulas and colors. I don't have anything bad to say about any of these! I'm thinking this one will be AMAZING for St. Patricks Day.

Both of these Royal Polishes are available on their store here. I really do recommend Violet's brand. She's been super sweet through the swatching process and her polish backs it up. Good job girly! 

Glossy Glam topcoat is available in Just Ricarda's Esty store here

I've got two more of these babies for you tomorrow! 

Talk to you then!

Royal Polish Shark Love and Beyond the Horizon

**press sample**

Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday! 

I'm excited to be bringing you a newer indie polish, Royal Polish. Violet's polish are brand new to me so I am really excited to be trying them out. (I get excited about new indie polish... and new mainstream polish... and polish in general. :) )

I had the privilege of swatching The Sea Dreams Collection, and today I'm going to show you Shark Love and Beyond the Horizon.

First up is Shark Love.





Right out of the box I knew Shark Love would be one of my favorites, and it really is. It is a soft gray crelly base with holographic dust and glitter scattered throughout.

For this mani I used 3 thin coats of Shark Love and topped it off with Glossy Glam. The application was silky smooth. The first 2 coats were a bit streaky but that is to be expected with any gray that is this light. The 3rd coat evened it out nicely.

I really love gray polishes, I'm always drawn to them. This one is very soft and the holo is subtle, which I prefer. (Don't get me wrong, in your face holo is pretty, but it's not for me.)

Next up, Beyond the Horizon.





Beyond the Horizon is what I would describe as a soft orange with red and gold flakes. I call it soft because it's orange not ORANGE!, if that makes sense. Plus it's an orange that I actually like on my nails, which never happens. 

For this mani I painted 3 thin coats of Beyond the Horizon topped with 1 coat of Glossy Glam. Violet says that this polish was inspired by a breathtaking ocean sunset, I think she hit the nail on the head. Isn't it pretty? You can see the shimmer and flakies all the way through. Just like Shark Love this one applied silky smooth. 

I loved the formula on both of these babies and can't wait to show you some more. 

Royal Polish is available for purchase in Violet's store here. This collection is already available for purchase so go check them out! 

Glossy Glam topcoat is available in Just Ricarda's Etsy shop here

So what do you think of these polishes? I can't wait to bring you the rest of the collection, so stay tuned! 

Have a great day!

Talk to you soon!
