SWATCH SUNDAY— Starrily Cobalt (Co) {Noble Neons Collection}

Contains PR/gifted product from NailStuff.ca

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! & happy one week to Christmas Eve! Who else is feeling the last minute crunch of Christmas? Today though, I’m excited because I have a brand new (to me) polish to share with you that was recently gifted to me by my nail polish fairy godmother Victoria at NailStuff.ca.

This is Starrily Cobalt (Co) from the Noble Neons collection.

2 coats + top coat

This beautiful & vibrant neon blue has a jelly like base with a scattering of holographic flakes for a sparkling effect. You can build it to opacity, like I did, or wear it over a white base for more of a pop. It does dry to a semi matte finish, like a lot of neons tend to do, so it’s best to finish it off with a glossy top coat.

Formula was smooth, easy to work with, & not too thin so I managed to achieve a good opacity with 2 coats. There is still a touch of visible nail line, but I feel like with a polish like this that’s not a bad thing.

As you can see from the macro shot above, the polish has a good density of holographic glitter. It doesn’t overwhelm it, but you get a good sparkle on the nail.

For those looking to add this colour to their own collection, I know it can be purchased from NailStuff.ca or from Starrily directly.

What do you think of Starrily Cobalt (Co)? Would you wear this holographic neon blue? Does anyone else consider blue nail polish a Christmas colour? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Happy Sunday! 💙

SWATCH SUNDAY — L.A. Colors Neon Jelly Razzle Berry

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a safe St. Patrick’s Day. Mine was spent on the hunt for nail polish deals. Well, originally I had tried to find some thrift goodies, but that was a bust so I ended up checking out the clearance bins to see if I could find any fun shades & I was quite successful.

Today though, I’m excited because I have a brand new shade I found at my local Walmart. They have just started carrying the L.A. Colors brand — which I haven’t seen around here in stores in a while — so naturally I had to pick up a few new shades. I decided one 3 polishes from 3 different lines. First up today: Razzle Berry from the Neon Jelly line.

3 coats, no top coat

The first shade to catch my eye was this sparkly beauty Razzle Berry. It’s a syrup-y blue jelly base packed with multi-sized iridescent glitters. For my swatches, I needed 3 coats for full coverage but as you can see it obviously isn’t fully opaque. The colour of the polish itself, also, is a bit lighter on the nail than in the bottle, but I’m sure if I had the patience to apply more coats, it would darken. It did apply easily though, & the wider brush made application pretty simple.

This shade is definitely giving me peachy Summer vibes. I love the glitter in the bright blue base with those glitters. I was a little bummed that it wasn’t quite as dark as the bottle shade, but most likely if I was wearing this again, I would probably layer it over a blue base so I didn’t need as many layers of polish. I mean, how gorgeous would this look layered over Essie In The Cab-ana? I’m definitely going to be trying that ASAP.

What do you think about L.A. Colors Neon Jelly Razzle Berry? Are you a fan of glittery jelly formulas like this? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & let me know if you’d like me to pick up anymore of these Neon Jelly shades to swatch.

Have a fantastic Sunday!
