Nail Gems Itsy giveaway
Hope everyone is having a good week, I am a bit manic lately which is why I have been quiet on my social media but I wanted to share these with you.
I was lucky enough to be chosen as the winner of the lovely Gemmas giveaway on instagram, she had teamed up with Itsy Nails and the prize was 3 beautiful polishes.
I got home from work one day last week and the package was waiting for me and honestly I couldn't believe it when I opened it.
I was only expecting 3 polishes but Gemma had very kindly added lots of extras - nail vinyls, transfers, fines, dotting tools and a cute little mirror. There were also lots of sweeties which I gave to my nephew as I recently joined slimming world!
The polishes were even more beautiful in real life and I couldn't wait to try them.
I have mixed feelings about some of the gel effect polishes on the market so was keen to try a different brand. I'll show you my swatches then give you my thoughts.
1st up is this gorgeous sunny yellow called Mellow Yellow, I am really into yellows at the moment and this one is a great shade for summer.
This absolutely gorgeous grey is City Girl, it is a really easy to wear grey and again I love this shade.
Finally a beautiful blue (you know me and blue!) called In Deep. It's another great colour and perfect for summer too.
So they were the polishes but what did I think...I love them, the formula is spot on - just like a standard polish, it wasn't think or gloopy, it didn't go on streaky. This was 2 coats and it's perfect coverage, perfect everything. The dry time was fab and the finish was super shiny (no top coat in these pics!)
I can't wait to have the time to have play and do some nail art with these because I think the colour combination will be great.
Thank you so much Gemma for hosting this giveaway, these polishes really are amazing.
If you don't already check Gemma out on IG - @_nailgems_ because her nail art is fab.
Also check out @itsy_nails on IG too, I know I definitely need more of their gorgeous polishes.
Hope you enjoyed this post, what do you think of these polishes? Please leave me a comment below
