BadAss Polish - Copper Waters

Hi there!

Today I'm wearing another fine glitter polish from BadAss Polish...

My nails painted with BadAss Polish - Copper Waters.

I painted 1 coat of China Glaze's Aquadelic as a base for this manicure. Then I painted 2 coats of Copper Waters on all but my ring finger, where I painted only 1 coat. I topped this manicure with a coat of Seche Vite to achieve what's pictured.

The mixture of finely milled copper and blue glitter set in a clear base applied easily. However, much like Chocolate Covered Cherry, I don't recommend wearing a base polish if you intend on building this glitter to opacity... it isn't needed, and a base makes it slightly more difficult to polish near the cuticles.

If you're interested in getting your hands on a bottle of Copper Waters, it isn't in BadAss Polish's shop just yet, but you can check them out on facebook for updates on its release.

Until next time...

BadAss Polish - Chocolate Covered Cherry

Hi there!

I've only recently found myself enjoying glitter polishes, and this one surely made me confident in my decision to start giving them more of a chance...

I painted 3 coats and added a coat of Seche Vite to achieve what's pictured. Chocolate Covered Cherry is a finely milled mix of bronze and pink holographic glitter in a clear base.

Chocolate Covered Cherry is buildable, but, of course, it can be worn layered over another polish...

I painted 1 coat of Annette before layering 1 coat of Chocolate Covered Cherry over the top. I didn't use a top coat in this picture.

If you choose to wear Chocolate Covered Cherry as I did in my first 2 pictures, I recommend not wearing a base color (unless it's a darker base that matches the glitter). The picture of it layered over a base color was actually my first time wearing Chocolate Covered Cherry. After seeing what it looked like with 1 coat, I wanted to see how it would look full coverage. I found that it was kind of difficult to get the glitter to cover all of my base color- especially close to my cuticles. I removed it all and tried a second manicure without a base color, and I think it turned out beautifully.

Is Chocolate Covered Cherry something you would wear? Would you wear it by itself, or layered over another polish?

BadAss Polish - Bling and Dusk

Hi there!

I wore each of these manicures featuring polishes from BadAss Polish's core line for a couple of days before photographing them...

Bling!:

China Glaze - Winter Berry and Holly-Day.

I painted 2 coats of red and green before applying 1 coat of Bling! It applied easily- it was a little bit thicker than I'm used to working with, but by no means was it difficult. The glitter placed very nicely, and I'm glad 1 coat does the trick :-) I topped it with a coat of OPI's top coat.

Dusk:

BadAss Polish - Dusk over Sally Hansen - Thinking of Blue.

I painted 1 coat of Thinking of Blue before applying 1 coat of Dusk. It applied just as nicely as the other glitters I've tried thus far from BadAss Polish. I topped it with a coat of OPI's top coat.

Overall, I'm happy with the formulas and durability of BadAss Polish. They are glitters in my collection that I can honestly say I'll wear again. To see swatches of America's Team and Go Pack Go!, click here.

Will you be adding either of these polishes to your collection? I think Bling! is a great choice for holiday manicures... and Dusk is perfect for "galaxy" nails!

Until next time...

BadAss Polish - Are You Ready For Some Football

Hi there!

Are You Ready For Some Football is one of the new collections from BadAss Polish. While not every NFL team is represented (thus far), the ones that are represented have pretty polishes.

America's Team:

My nails painted with BadAss Polish - America's Team.

I painted a base of China Glaze's Bahamian Escape and then painted 1 coat of America's Team. I topped it with a coat of OPI's top coat. I tried several different base colors before deciding on this one. It ended up being a toss up between blue, pink, and purple (it looks nice over all of them).

America's team applied nicely. I didn't have to "dig" around in the bottle with the polish brush to grab the blue stars. 1-2 stars came out with each brush dip. The stars may have to be placed if you're choosy about where they end up- I wasn't, so I let them stay wherever they landed :-) This polish is on the thicker side, and it may end up needing some drops of thinner in the future.

Go Pack Go!:

My nails painted with BadAss Polish - Go Pack Go!

I painted a base of Spoiled's I Only Eat Salads and then painted 1 coat of Go Pack Go! I topped it with a coat of OPI's top coat. This polish applied like a dream. Similar to America's Team, I didn't have to "dig" to grab the larger pieces of glitter.

Something I noticed while applying Go Pack Go! in particular was that the formula is different from most glitter polishes that I've used in the past. I got distracted at one point and I painted all over one of my cuticles... but I was able to wipe the polish away without using polish remover.

A closer look at the small green glitter, tiny yellow glitter, and hexagonal yellow glitter in a clear base...

BadAss Polish - Go Pack Go!

When I received my package in the mail, I was instantly impressed. Each polish arrived housed in its own mailing tube...

Complete with a decently sized piece of felt to help with the glitter removal...

Do either of these Are You Ready For Some Football polishes stand out to you? This collection, along with the core line of polishes, can be found on Etsy. If you'd like to follow BadAss Polish on facebook, click here.

Now I'll wait not so patiently for a 49ers polish :-)

Until next time...
