Soulstice Spa Vegan Nail Polish

Hey everyone! I've got some exciting polish to show you today.

Some of you may have heard of this brand before, but for those who haven't, let me introduce you to Soulstice Spa Nail Colour.
This is a pretty new brand which has recently been picked up by Nail Polish Canada.
Here's what they have to say about the brand:
"Soulstice Spa nail polish is vegan, cruelty-free (verified by PETA) & free of the toxins dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde and toluene."
Pretty cool, huh?

Not only are these polishes environmentally friendly and vegan, they're beautiful!

Monterey. This is a beautiful dusty royal blue. I was expecting the formula on these to feel different where they are vegan, or dry slower, or have some sort of compromise for also being vegan... But there is no downside!
The formula is great and they dry just as fast as most polishes.
This one is a jelly and takes 3 coats to be perfectly even.
The color is a bit more dusty than other royal blues in my collection so it is unique. I love it!

Montreal. Had to get this one for the Canadian name - and it ended up being a fantastic choice!
This is a red-toned purple shimmer that covers great in 2 thin coats. She's a beauty!

Manchester. My favorite! This is a great light gray creme that covers perfectly in two coats. I've been looking for a color like this! It's lighter than my other favorite gray, China Glaze Recycle. I have nothing else like it in my collection and I'm excited to finally have the perfect light gray.

Guess what? Nail Polish Canada has decided to give my lovely readers a chance to own my favorite Soulstice polish for 50% off!
Add Manchester to your cart and use "REBECCALIKESNAILS" as a discount code - you'll get it for just $4.25!

And as always, Nail Polish Canada offers free shipping on orders over $29 in Canada, and over $50 in the US.
(Canadian ladies, NPC has a great price on Zoya too which is good for those of you like me who can't get Zoya where you live!)

Color Club - Scent-suous Collection - swatches and review

Good afternoon! More glitter swatches for you today? Yes!

Today I'm going to be showing you the Scent-suous Collection from Color Club.
This collection is strange - there was no promotion or press releases. It just started showing up... At Sally Beauty.
Sally's does not carry Color Club as a rule but for some reason they got this collection for Christmas.
The polishes are all scented and they actually smell great (unlike the other scented collection from Color Club, Wicked Sweet, which smells totally overwhelming.)

I was worried this collection wasn't going to show up in Canada, but thankfully it did! I got there in time to snag the entire display - a set for me and a set for Kayla. (I wish they came in a set but they don't!)

I'm going to show you the foils first and then the glitters.

Gingerbread Man. 2 coats. This is another great foil from Color Club. As I'm sure you can guess, this smells like gingerbread. It smells really yummy. I'm sure this would work great for stamping.

Kiss Me Mistletoe. 2 coats. I'm going to assume this smells like mistletoe but I'm not sure what that smells like. It's sort of like an evergreen tree smell. I'm not a huge fan of this scent but it is not overwhelming.

These 2 foils are pretty similar to other Color Club polishes:

Gingerbread, Antiquated, Perfect Mol-ten, Kiss Me Mistletoe

Gingerbread is a true gold compared to the warm bronze-gold of Antiquated from the Foiled Collection.
Kiss Me Mistletoe and Perfect Molten, also from Foiled, are dupes.

Santa's Cinnamon. 2 coats. This is a red jelly packed with red glitter. It's a dupe for China Glaze Ruby Pumps, but maybe a bit more sparkly.
This one smells like cinnamon, duh, sorta like cinnamon hearts candy or Red Hots. I'm not really a fan of those candies but the smell is nice.

Now for big glitters!! I've first swatched them on a wheel in different ways just because I like multiple pictures of glitter.

One coat

One coat

Two coats

One coat over black

One coat over black, matte

After that pretty spam, here are the nail swatches.

Orna-Minted. This is one coat over Soulstice Monterey (swatch coming later this week!)
As you can guess, this one smells like mint. Not offensive and strong, just a nice light mint scent.
This isn't very original though, just three sizes of silver hex glitter in a clear base. It's very pretty though!

Sugar Plum Yum. This one is small green glitter and large purple glitter in a clear base that smells like sugarplum, I guess! Not that I have ever smelled a sugarplum before...
I have to say, this one is my least favorite scent. But I like the glitter!
I've shown it here over Kiss Me Mistletoe.

Very Merry Berry. This one is my favorite! I just love the colors. There is small blue and large fuchsia glitter in a clear base and it smells like berries. It's a fresh scent and I like it a lot.
This is shown over Barry M Boots Limited Edition.
I just love it!

That's all she wrote today! I hope you enjoyed these swatches and good luck finding them at your local Sally's.
