Manicure Monday - New Sephora Collection Color Hit Mini Nail Polishes + Leaves Nail Art

Happy Mani Monday everyone! I was so excited to see Sephora Collection nail polishes pop up recently as ever since Formula X was discontinued, I was waiting for another "house" brand pop up for affordable polishes there! 

The Sephora Collection Color Hit Mini Nail Polishes are fairly new to Sephora and come with a decent shade selection of creme finishes, and a few shimmers and glitters. 

What I failed to realize until after I ordered 2 of these polishes is that they only come in this little mini polish size, which I think is a little strange. (I realize now that the word mini is in the name; but, I don't always pay full attention!) They are only $6.00 CAN each making them super affordable.

I picked up one creme polish ~ Lilac Fantasy and one glitter polish ~ Firework. Both polishes are really pretty and I was super impressed with the creme formula! With two coats this light lilac shade was full opaque and the finish was so good. It applied nice and wasn't streaky and this still had a great brush and it wasn't super tiny that made it hard to apply! The glitter was good too, and I thought with two coats, I still had a good coverage with the glitter. (I still need to try out the sponge stamping technique for my glitters!)

I used Lilac Fantasy as the base for all of nails and I just love it! You can also see Firework with to coats on my ring finger and thumb. 

Also, for this week's Mani Monday we chose the theme "Leaves" as a final good-bye to Fall before winter and Christmas fully take over our nail looks! My look ended up looking very Spring and I'm just fine with that - I couldn't wait any longer to try these Sephora polishes! 

The products I used for this week's Mani are:
-MoYou London Enchanted 11 plate
-Maniology (formely Bundle Monster) x NinaNailedIt gold stickers 
-Sephora Collection Lilac Fantasy and Firework
-Lipsmacker Smackers Nail Polish in Mistress of All Evil 
-MoYou London polish in Pink! 

For this mani I started with Formula X nail cleanser and base coat, then I applied 2 coats of Lilac Fantasy for the base. Then I applied 2 coats of Firework to my ringer finger and thumb! Then, I wanted to play on some matching glitter in Firework for the leaves. Using the Enchanted 11 plate, I stuck to an all leaves section and applied the same leave in green and pink to my middle finger and thumb. Then with the gold stickers, I found similar leaves and applied just a little accent to my pointer finger. 

I know it's not very Fall Leaves theme; but, I love how all the colours work out together!
