Pretty and Polished Bath Bombs

***PRESS SAMPLE***

I had the pleasure of reviewing a couple bath and body bath bombs from Pretty and Polished and OMG I fell in love!!

I received two scents Soft Citrus and I believe the other one was Lavender Vanilla. All I can tell you was when I opened the package I was greated by such a pleasing scent. Their bath bombs come in 3 sizes: 4oz, 6oz, and 10oz, They also have them available in Foot Fizzys (approx. 1oz.) and they come in the shape of a heart for putting in your pedi baths to give your feet an extra special treat. The bath bombs are packed with skin softening ingredients like Natural Sea Salt, Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, and Essential Oils.

The Soft Citrus Bath Bombs contain:  Sodium Bicarbonate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Citric Acid, Sea Salt, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Tocopherol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil,  Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil Colorants.

After using these in my pedi bath my feet were so soft and smooth. I didn't even need to lotion them after my pedi bath because all the essential oils in these fizzys gave my feet everything they needed. The scent was amazing and it wasn't overpowering. Just strong enough to enjoy but not too strong that you were knocked over by it. I can't wait to use my other one but then again my Mom seen them when they arrived and has said that she would like to try the other one so I may have her try it and see what she thinks. If I know her as well as I do, she's gonna fall in love and I will probably have to purchase more very soon! 

Cost for the Bath Bombs are as follows: 4oz is $3.00, 6 oz is $4.50, 10oz is $7.50, and the Foot Fizzys are 1oz for $1.25

You should head on over to their shop on Etsy or their Website and pick up some amazing bath and body products. I know I'm gonna be getting more of their products to try real soon!

Pretty and Polished Pixy Chix

*****PRESS SAMPLE*****

Today I am going to show you one of Pretty & Polished's new glitter top coats. This one is called Pixy Chix, it is inspired by the delicious candy Pixy Stix. How cool is this?!!! There is blue, red, green, and purple micro glitter to make up this beautiful polish. I have to tell you that I was super excited when I received this one and tried it out right away. Then I decided to do a full mani with it cause I loved it so much. So now here's all the details....

Pretty and Polished polish is 3 free and cruelty free. The ingredients are: N-Butty Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Isoprpyl Alcohol, and glitter. They are free of Dibutyl Phthalate, Formaldehyde, and Toluene. A full size bottle is 15ml and has 2 stainless steel bb's and costs $8.50.

This picture shows you how you can wear it alone or over another polish. I wanted to show you how many coats it took me to get full coverage with this. 3 coats gave me full coverage and boy was I pleased! The application on this was superb, no clumping or fishing for glitter. It went on so smoothly that I truly loved working with this one. You know how with some lesser brands that you just have to fish for glitter and put on multiple coats to get full coverage, well, with this one you don't have this problem.

Then once I finished the demonstration photo for the coats I decided to try my first glitter gradient with this beauty. Boy did I love this. I didn't have to keep applying the glitter to the sponge to get my gradient, it only took like 1 dab of the sponge to get the coverage I wanted with my glitter gradient. I only had to go back to add more because I wasn't quite pleased with where my gradient was fading so I adjusted that.

Pretty & Polished lacquers can be purchased at either their Etsy Shop or their website.

Pretty & Polished Punk'd Up Betty

This is Punk'd Up Betty from Pretty & Polished. This is my second indie and I can see my wallet and husband are going to be mad at me because I am loving them and feel like I need to try more!

I still had my Tempest mani on and I thought it would make the perfect undie for this polish. I was right!! This is such a beautiful combination! I am so not looking forward to having to take this one off. :(

I only used one thick coat of Punk'd Up Betty for this and thought it looked pretty good so I decided against the second coat. I topped it with Wicked Fast and was good to go!

I think Punk'd Up Betty is a girly but edgy glitter. I have to say that I can see this combo in my future again.

I am so thankful that I am able to wear what I want at work and am free to express myself. I am never afraid to try new things on my nails and am able to show them off at work!
