Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed+Polished Components

So you saw yesterday's epic nail mail (happy, happy, happy!) I give you Toxic Seaweed by Cult Nails:

Oh the ring finger. That's the challenge for PaA this week. It's a holo topper from Polished Components called Earth's Day. I just love the subtle holo effect. I did the accent finger on the other hand in Fire's Day and I love both effects:

I apologize for the owie. Now for photo overload!!!

 I had to wait till today to get a close up shot - this polish is so packed with glitter in a glowey jelly base that I needed to wait till less light if you can believe that!

This is three coats to obtain full opacity. Also this polish is sadly discontinued as it was a limited edition but she does have a new LE called Seduction which is like the purple cousin to Clairvoyant. I plan to swatch out my other two new gorgeous polishes later this week. Until tomorrow (hubby's picks!)

Polished Components: Prepare to update your wishlist! (pic heavy)

So I decided with some of my play money I would indulge in some indie polishes (read independently made and owned nail polishes). After shopping my wishlist I settled on Polished Components and went with Pretties in Pink, Fire's Day, and Earth's Day. Color me impressed:

 So what we have here is, in the first image, two color shifters (Fire's Day and Earth's Day) with a holo finish. They will turn the color underneath into a duochrome and, in the right light, that lovely, linear holographic finish will come screaming through. The second image is Pretties in Pink: a partially opaque pink with a silver shimmer and small and large red hex glitters. Oh wow is this one so sweet!!! Above is three coats, but next time I'll be laying down a pink creme and then doing a coat over the top of that. I'm amazed at how much I LOVE this one! The formula on ALL of these is silky smooth and dries nicely and quickly. Amazing polishes and I have zero qualms with them :)

 Natural light. You can see that there's a slightly milky sheen that helps the primary color blend with the color beneath. The rosey red one is Fire's Day and the green one is Earth's Day.

 I know the middle finger isn't clean up, but that's because that's one coat as opposed to the two coats on the pointer finger. I actually like the look of the single coat and can't wait to try this over some other colors.

 With flash - WOW!!!

 Under the light in my kitchen. Like the giant nick? I started cleaning before letting them dry all the way - go me.

Lots of images I know but I wanted you to see how these looked in an array of lights. I only got two of these shifters and am making plans to get the other shifters. There's a line of elemental nights as well that appear to have a scattered holo effect. Pretty sure I need the entire line!

Super cute packaging - the polishes came wrapped securing in bubble wrap with kitty cat tape securing them! I adore cute packaging. I can't wait to see what lines she'll be surprising us with next!
