Indie Polish Daily Hues Nail Lacquer Review & Swatches

Happy Summer! The sun is shining bright in California and the AC is in full effect.  Today I am doing something I have never done before.  Ive never featured an indie polish brand before and I am very excited to feature one of my growing favorites Daily Hues Nail Lacquer! The owner Jenn recently released her Summer line and today I will be sharing five cremes from the collection.

Daily Hues Nail Lacquer is a handmade 5 free nail lacquer which earns major brownie points.  Why put harsh nail lacquers on your fingernails when you can use beautifully crafted 5 free nail lacquer? For me its a no brainer.  Daily Hues summer collection consists of 7 polishes and today I will be sharing 5 cremes from the collection.  The names of each polish all have a sun, summer, or sunshine meaning.  Very clever for a summer collection.  Just something to keep in mind: all swatches were done without using a white base color. These colors stood out on their own!

First up is Cira! The origin of the name Cira is Italian and it means sun. This bright yellow creme is definitely a show stopper.  If you want to stand out at the beach, this is the yellow for you.  The formula was good.  I used 3 very thin coats to obtain full opacity and a top coat.

Next is Juliana.  Juliana means July and its origin is English.  I am a sucker for green polish and this beauty did not let me down.  Its very bright and vibrant.  I can easily see this being one of my favorites for the summer.  The formula was also good and I used 3 thin coats to obtain full opacity and a top coat.

Next up is Dawn.  Dawn means sunrise and its origin is Greek.  I am a fan of this blue for sure and I am normally not a blue kind of gal.  This gorgeous pale neon blue has a slight shimmer and is perfect for summer or year round.  The formula was great.  I used 2 thin coats and a top coat.

Next is Soleil.  Its origin is French and it means sun.  I love this bright coral color.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  The formula was really good.  Only needed 2 thin coats with a top coat.

Last one is Paiva! Its origin is Scandinavian and its meaning is God of sun.  This orange creme has slight holo flecks in it and it is hands down my favorite.  It reminds me of orange sherbet and it is a must have for summer.  I used 3 thin coats and a top coat.

Overall I really enjoyed this collection.  I knew right away when I saw them, that I had to get them.  Jenn at Daily Hues Nail Lacquer did a great job with this collection and she hit summer right on the nose.  The other two polishes in the collection are duochromes so go check them out.  And if your looking for some holographic polishes or a great deal on some destash nail polishes, visit Jenn at Daily Hues Nail Lacquer over at Storenvy (link below)!

Rimmel London Sweetie Crush Collection Swatches

There's no surprise that I am a fan of textured polish. It's like my favorite thing ever!!! Although I was very excited to see this collection, I was very disappointed at the same time. Why, you ask? Well I'll tell you, because the bottles are so darn small! I would need about 3 or 4 bottles to equal a full sized bottle of polish. Now although I have a serious control issue when it comes to purchasing nail polish, rest assured I only purchased one of each color.

The colors are very spring like and I honestly had no idea how strong the textured effect was going to be.  I'll just say, I was not disappointed.

 First up is Candyfloss Cutie.  Pink packed with a lot of shimmer.  Can you say gorgeous? Pink and I sometimes have a love/ hate relationship but I have nothing but love for this pink cutie! This is two thin coats with no top coat.

Violet Swizzle is another beauty.  Two thin coats with no top coat.

Next up is Fizzy Appleicious.  Green is my favorite color so natural this was my favorite out of the collection.  This was a little on the sheer side so for this I used three thin coats with no top coat.

Sherbet Sweetheart is a shimmer yellow.  This one was extremely sheer.  I used three thin coats and probably could have used another but I already thought three was too much.  No top coat used.

Lastly is Blueberry Whizz.  I'm not too much of a blue girl but I can see myself rocking this color. After the green, this one was my favorite.  I used two thin coats and no top coat.

Overall, I am a pretty happy camper with this collection.  The textured effect was not overpowering and the shimmers were spot on.  I love the names of each polish as they tie in perfectly with the name of the collection.
