Drip Drop - Prototype #518


     Hello and welcome back to my blog. I feel bad about not having post's ready for last week when I was on vacation but I had so much to do that I ran out of time.  But on the positive side, we had a blast and the kids have already asked when we can do it again. I love that they had so much fun but I'm ready to be home for a bit. Right now I'm procrastinating on the clean up part of my vacation and bringing you a prototype polish from Drip Drop #518. But that also means this will be a quick post because I've got lots of housework sitting here staring me in the face. Sometimes I feel I need a vacation from my vacation!

     I don't know about you but I really like getting prototype polishes and mystery bags. They open my eyes to nail polishes I might not normally pick out for myself, and I've gotten a few that I ended up loving. I don't know about you but before I  started on my journey with nail polish I pretty much only owned shades of pink and red. Now I have the entire rainbow and then some in my helmers!

     Prototype #518 is a clear based polish with multi-sized circular glitters in Silver and Blue. While this polish works best as a topper, I've chosen to show it alone.

     Shown here is 2 coats plus top coat.  As you can see the glitter coverage is pretty good, but it would take several coats to reach full opacity.


     They application process was typical of a glitter polish. The first coat had a sparse smattering of glitter, with significantly better coverage with the second. I'm not sure yet what color I would like to layer this over in the future. My first instinct is to go with silver but I somehow feel that that's too common or obvious. I'd love to hear your ideas in the comments. And don't forget to check out my previous review of another Prototype from Drip Drop #516. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Drip Drop - Prototype #516


     Today I have a quick swatch post to share with you on Drip Drop prototype #516. I picked this up in a grab bag of prototypes that contained 3 polishes. I sort of like grab bags because it helps me to try polishes that I normally wouldn't pick for myself. Although looking at this one in the bottle I totally would have snatched it right up. 

     Prototype #516 has everything I like in a nail polish, a pale pink base, multi-sized glitters in a variety of shapes and colors. I was in heaven when I first saw it. 


     I really really want to love this polish but I just don't after applying it to my nails. And there's no real reason for it except that once on I realized that it wasn't my "cup of tea".  The application is amazing for a glitter, especially one that has been sitting around for a few months. I did have to fish around for a few of the larger glitters but overall I was happy with the amount that came out on the brush with each layer.


   Shown here is 2 coats plus top coat. I do like that the glitters lay nice and flat on the nail and only 1 layer of top coat was needed for a smooth finish. 


     Formula and application wise this polish is a winner, there's just something about it on my nails that I'm not thrilled with. Maybe the pink is too light for my skin tone?  

     I have 2 more polishes from the grab bag that I need to use but if the formula is as good as this I will be looking for suggestions on which ones to try next. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
