Color Club Oil Slick Collection -- Swatch & Review

Hello friends! It has been a long minute since I've reviewed a collection! But today I'm changing that. I'm here with the Color Club Oil Slick Collection and can I just say, this collection is STUNNING! I had zero intention in buying this collection but when I was perusing the nail polish section at a local drugstore, I stumbled upon the display for this collection and I was floored. The problem was I didn't want to spend a bajillion dollars on this limited edition "micro-batch" collection. I decided to head over to Instagram and ask if anyone would want to purchase a once-swatched collection and I found a dear girl who was happy to oblige. After swatching them, I'm sad to part with them but it's just not in the budget for me. </3 Alright, that's enough babbling. Let's get into the review!

OH! And if you'd prefer to watch/listen to my review rather than read it, you can head over to MY NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL and watch my review there! Ah! So exciting.

BLOG SALE

Something I've been working on for a while now is destashing my nail polish. I sold a bunch at a yard sale over the summer but I saved a bunch to list here! I have a majority of more high end salon brands and also a few drugstore polishes. Most of these polishes are very gently used, swatched once, sometimes less. If there is a polish with any significant fill line, I will indicate that. Have fun browsing! :)

Disney Week Nail Art

Goodness gracious. It has been a long minute since I've blogged. :( I guess the summer crazies got the better of me. But I'm back into the swing of things now and hopefully I can get into blogging more regularly again! If you're following me on Instagram (@polishandbeyond) you know I've done a little series called "Disney Week" this week. I chose 5 Disney films and used them as inspiration for nail art! This will be a little overview of this past week including some extra shots (and macros) that were not posted on my insta. :)

Cute As A Button Nail Art

As I was trying to figure out my next nail design, my eye fell upon Essie "Cute As A Button" sitting on my nail polish rack. It was only my second Essie and it'd been forever since I used it! It's a pretty pink-y coral shade with a great formula. The name alone inspired me to do this cute button nail art that I'll be sharing with you today.

Crelly Sandwich Tutorial

Hello and welcome back to Polish And Beyond! Today, I have an interesting twist on the "jelly sandwich" technique, and that is the "crelly sandwich" technique! This idea occurred to me as I was online admiring a rainbow glitter mix polish in a white crelly base and realized I could achieve a similar look myself! I'll take you through the steps I did to make my crelly sandwich!
