Swatches & review: OPI Tinted Top Coats collection

Hi everyone! My apologies for my sudden absence - real life required some extra time so I wasn't able to spend as much time on the blog.

Swatches & review: Sally Hansen Triple Shine nail polishes

Hello there :) Sally Hansen recently released some new shades in their Triple Shine range and I have a few of them to share today. Because this line is marketed to be glossy, I didn't apply any top coat over my swatches, except for the glitter one. Dive in is a pretty teal. It's not the most unique shade, but if you're in the market for a teal, this one is a good choice. Two coats. Fanta-sea is...
