Silly Bee's Chickadees Island in the Son Collection Reviews & Swatches

Hi everyone! Today I have a new collection from Silly Bee's Chickadees! This collection is perfect for summer because it's all about bright colors based on some yummy fruits! All of the sales from this collection help fund Melissa's mission trip to Jamaica, so you can buy some pretty polish for yourself and help a good cause! :) 
None of the polishes gave me trouble with application and surprisingly the yellow, Mango Mambo, was my favorite! :P


Guava-rama contains gold dots in a crelly, berry-red base. All nails are 2 coats with top coat. 
Papaya Yaya is described as metallic gold dots in a rich orange base. I used 2 coats with top coat. 
Mango Mambo has a golden yellow base with gold dot glitter. Shown is 3 coats with top coat. 
Currently, only Mango Mambo is available in Silly Bee's Chickadees Etsy store, but the other colors from this collection are to be restocked soon! :) Be sure to follow Silly Bee's Chickadees on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram and her blog.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway I have going on with Silly Bee's Chickadees! It ends tonight. :)

Lynnderella Orchid of the Year Swatches

Evening everyone! I actually had this post ready to go earlier, but then got to messing with my hair and time slipped away. :P I'm working on more Lynnderella swatches for the week, but thought I would show off Orchid of the Year alone since it's apart of the Light Year Collection. :) 
Orchid of the Year has orchid microglitter, larger lavender holographic glitter, lavender holographic flowers and tonal accents in a clear multi-shimmered base. All nails are 3 coats with top coat.
Orchid of the Year can be purchased through Lynnderella.com and soon from Norway Nails and Glitter Connect. Make sure to follow all the Lynnderella fan pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr!

Pahlish Charn, Lantern Waste, Stars at Rest and Tashbaan Reviews & Swatches

Hi guys! Sorry for disappearing for a few days. >_< My little one has been something else lately. I'm not sure why people talk about the "terrible twos", but never mention the insane, never want to sleep fours! :P 
Tonight I have a few new polishes from Pahlish, though! :)
These four polishes are from Pahlish's Wood Between the Worlds and are inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia. I had no problems formula wise with any of them, except for them being a bit sheer. Still they built up nicely in three coats and I'm sure if you have shorter nails you could get away with just two coats. :)


Pahlish Swatches
Pahlish Charn Swatch
Charn is described as a bright lavender crème with soft lavender-gold flake shimmer and matte lagoon blue glitter. Shown is 3 coats with top coat.

Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid Review & Swatches

Sorry for the late post! My little one has had more energy than I can even imagine having, so I spent most the day in a nice zombie-like state. Tonight I have a new polish coming from Silly Bee's Chickadees and it's one included in the giveaway I'm running with her! :) So check out this post and the giveaway one for your chance to win a bottle of Velvet Orchid and a ton of other fun things! :D


Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid
Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid Swatch
Velvet Orchid has a orchid matte base with a subtle copper shimmer. All nails are 3 coats with top coat. 
Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid Swatch
While I used 3 coats, but I think if you have shorter nails and use thicker coats you could get away with 2 coats pretty easy. :) Formula was great to work with and it dried quickly. The color just reminds me of something nice, subtle and classy. It also reminds me of something that would be perfect if you need your nails to be "work appropriate". :D
Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid Swatch
 Here it is with top coat. :)
Silly Bee's Chickadees Velvet Orchid Swatch
I prefer Velvet Orchid in it's matte state, but with top coat the shimmer does come out a little more. The shimmer is very subtle, to the point my pictures couldn't capture it, but it is there. :)

As I mentioned above, this polish part of the prize from the giveaway I'm running with Silly Bee's Chickadees. Another part of the giveaway is a set of Jamberry Wraps, so Melissa sent along some sets for me to play with. I chose to use the print "Sweet Symphony"  for an accent nail with Velvet Orchid because they looked pretty and vintagey together! ;)

Velvet Orchid will be available through Silly Bee's Chickadees Etsy store on Monday, June 2nd! Follow Silly Bee's Chickadees on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram and her blog.
