Nvr Enuff Polish - Candy Land Review!

Oh my gosh, an actually on-time blog post?! What is this!? This collection sold out so quickly that the wonderful ladies of Nvr Enuff are working their pretty butts off to get them restocked later this week or next week (early February 2015). So get your wishlist ready! To kick off the new year, Lynnae and Alix made another small and perfect collection devoted to the magnificent world of Candy Land. Honestly, these might be four of my favorite polishes to date. Of theirs or anyone else's. THEY'RE JUST SO GREAT.

Is this not just the perfect, most sparkly collection? I played the Candy Land board game when I was little (not to mention I've always been a fan of candy in general), so I was excited to see this collection come to life! One of my favorite parts about swatching for ladies my age is we all had similar interests in our childhood so I get to relive fun things every time they make a collection.

A light blue jelly packed to the brim with holo glitters, and a hidden pink fleck!
Dries slightly textured, use top coat for a smooth shine!

Queen Frostine is such a beautiful blue with LITERALLY the most hidden pink shimmer! In person it's much more apparent, but for some reason this polish really just photographs as blue. You can see a hint of the pink shift in the top right edge of my bottle macro, but that's about it. In any case, Queen Frostine is slightly textured without a topcoat just like this whole collection, but it looks beautiful both ways. It dries very quickly and builds opacity just as amazingly as the rest of their collections.

I think this polish really complements my skin tone very well, so if you're a pale chica like me - get on this right quick! I really loved the slight texture that all of the glitters gave this whole collection. It was still smooth enough that it didn't get caught on shirts or anything, but it had an interesting look! I used Plastered In Pink (Painted Polish) for my thumb to show off the pink in Queen Frostine, two coats of QF alone on my pointer finger, two coats of QF with topcoat on my middle and ring fingers, and one coat of QF over Camelot (A England) on my pinky finger with topcoat.

A super holo gold dense glitter with sparks of pink and blue holo!

King Kandy is probably my second favorite from this collection. It has such a unique combination of glitters that it could really but used as an accent nail for so many manis! I just love how much versatility these ladies give their collections. As with the others, this one is slightly textured without topcoat and still dries and applies very well.

Do you see all of the different colors show up?! It's so amazing they even managed to cram them all into one bottle! For this swatch I used two coats on my thumb, one coat on my pointer finger, one coat sponged on my middle finger, two coats of Afterglow (NEP) on my ring finger, and one coat of King Kandy over one coat of Afterglow (NEP) on my pinky finger. This polish was so dense with one free coat, seeing how dense it was sponged on was just astounding! The time that sponging saves for me makes me so excited because it means I could just throw this on in minutes and look all sparkly and awesome.

A dense gold flakey with light pink and bright pink holo glitters,
dries slightly textured but smooths out perfectly with top coat!

I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, the ladies of Nvr Enuff constantly make me love pink! They're trying to convert me! After using this polish, I absolutely know what I'm doing for my Valentine's nail art because it's just so romantic and perfect. As with the others, the textured effect was subtle enough to not snag on everything but still looked very cool! I used topcoat on all my nails to show the depth of the sparkles, but it still looked beautiful without it.

It's so pink and gold and just a;joiefja; so much love. Again for this I used two coats on my thumb, one coat on my pointer finger (HOW DENSE IS THAT ON ITS OWN??), one coat sponged on my middle finger, two coats of Afterglow (NEP) on my ring finger, and one coat over one coat of Afterglow (NEP) on my pinky finger. 

A deep jelly purple with packed with purple, burgundy, and maroon glitters!
Dries slightly textured, but with top coat shines like a dream!

Are you ready for my favorite polish of the collection?! In all fairness, all of the others tied for second, but this purple is just drop dead beautiful. I might get a shirt that says "I own Lord Licorice from Nvr Enuff Polish" so that people bow to me in the streets. The biggest sign that this is a polish you need in your collection is that it would not photograph as pretty as it actually is! For some reason, all of the most beautiful polishes in the world just refuse to be photographed well.

The base of Lord Licorice is so deep and vampy and the glitters are so bright and cheery, I just love the combination of the two. I just want to pour it all over everything that I own! For this swatch I used two coats on all of my nails except my accent nail which is Radiantly Wrecked (Painted Polish). Again, this looked beautiful with no topcoat, but it really brought out the shine in the glitter. 

Overall, this entire collection is just a must-have. I recommend stalking the heck out of their Instagram to see when this restock will be so you don't miss out! 

As always, these polishes were sent to me at a discounted rate for my honest review and swatches, and everything that I've shared is 100% my honest opinion.

As I said, these polishes are all currently out of stock, but will be restocked sometime in late January or early February. I recommend heading over to http://nvrenuffpolish.bigcartel.com/ nonetheless and getting whatever you can possibly grab anyway! Make sure that you follow @nvrenuffpolish on Instagram to get all of the updates on any upcoming releases and/or restocks! 

Nvr Enuff Polish - Christmas Town Review!

Well after Christmas, I finally have time to update all of my most recent Nvr Enuff collection reviews! Hurray! I was really excited about this collection because Christmas is one of my favorite times of year and I loooove The Nightmare Before Christmas. And of course, their collection did not disappoint! I was so pleased with the simple colors that they picked for this collection.

One thing I love so much about these ladies is that they do small, simple collections and they do them right! They picked the perfect number of polishes, the perfect colors, and they nailed the formulas and their inspirations perfectly. 10/10, as usual!!

Red holo jelly

First up in this collection is You Don't Have Claws At All. As many of you know, I'm on a never-ending quest to buy all of the red polishes in the world, so this was just another amazing addition to my collection! Like many of their recent polishes, this polish is passable as one coat, although I generally do two just to cover any spots that I might have missed.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

It's such a beautiful red, I can't even handle it! I used this one in some Christmas nail art that I'll add at the end of this review just because I was happy with it. I used one coat over Diamonds and Rubies (Sally Hansen) on my thumb, one coat alone on my pointer finger, one coat over Velvet Rope (Color Club) on my middle finger, two coats of This Looks Like Fun! (also NEP) on my ring finger, and one coat over Cosmic (NEP) on my pinky. As always, this dried very fast and had a very glossy finish with a slightly textured look from the glitters. Absolutely love!

Baby blue jelly, holo dust, iridescent dust, and scattered white hexes

There's Frost On Every Window is an amazing addition to my collection, I'm so happy that they designed it the way they did! It really does remind me of falling snow in winter. This one is pretty sheer which is just so amazing for jelly sandwiches and layering, which I'm always a huge fan of.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

I love how versatile this polish is because you can layer it, wear it alone, all kinds of jelly sandwiches...Just so many options! Not to mention it's such a beautiful shade of blue! This dries just as quickly as the rest of this brand (which is fast) unless you apply a pretty thick coat. I used one thin coat alone on my thumb, three thin coats on my pointer finger, one coat over December 2014 (Enchanted Polish) on my middle finger, two coats of This Looks Like Fun! (NEP) on my middle finger, and one coat over Sporty (NEP) on my pinky.

Gold/silver flakey topper

I used This Looks Like Fun! for my accent nail on almost this whole collection because it really just goes with everything and it just strikes me as being so wintery! Absolutely can't get enough of it. This one is "designed" to be a topper, but easily builds opacity to make a bold and sparkly mani in and of itself.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

Gosh, I just love it so much. It's so shiny. I used one coat alone on my thumb, sandwhiched it with Interstellar (NEP) on my pointer finger (this was way prettier in person, it didn't show up very well in pictures), three coats alone on my middle finger, two coats over Glitzerland (OPI) on my ring finger, and one coat over Interstellar (NEP) on my pinky finger. I just love how much versatility this one has as well! It can be used as a topper, full coverage glitter, sandwhiches...Just so many uses for this whole collection!

Evergreen jelly with gold flakies

I know that I can't say this enough, but I love this polish. Christmastime has such a quintessentially Christmas color combination with evergreen and gold accents, but it just pulls it together all so perfectly. As with all of the others, this polish dries very quickly and builds opacity very well!

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

I've always loved green, and Christmastime is absolutely no exception. It was way more opaque than I anticipated for some reason, so I was even more happily surprised! I used two coats on my thumb, one coat on my pointer finger, one coat over Veruschka (Zoya) on my middle finger, two coats of This Looks Like Fun! (NEP) on my ring finger, and one coat over Apple (Zoya) on my pinky finger. I love that it applied so evenly that I could brighten the shade of green by putting a lighter shade of green under it!

Black/gunmetal/purple flakey

I've never seen a polish with this color combination before, so that and the flakies makes me love Making Christmas that much more. These ladies really are the queens of flakies! Making Christmas can be used as a topper, but it's so densely packed with glitters that it's quite easy to build opacity into a knockout mani in itself.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

Making Christmas looks so amazing when it shifts in the light, these swatches really don't do it justice! I wanted to show more of how it looks dense, but it could easily be used as a topper as well. I used one coat alone on my thumb, three coats alone on my pointer finger, two coats over Camelot (A England) on my middle finger, two coats of London (Zoya) on my ring finger, and one coat over Camelot (A England) on my pinky finger. This polish is so much more beautiful in person, I wish pictures could capture the layers it has! As always, the formula and dry time were perfect.

For my last little Christmas Town mani here I used two coats of Christmastime on my pointer and middle fingers, two coats of You Don't Have Claws At All on my pinky finger, and Alpine Snow (OPI) with Velvet Rope (Color Club) candy cane stripes on my thumb and ring fingers. It was so festive! I used multiple thicknesses of straight nail vinyls from @teismom on Instagram for this look.

As always, these polishes were sent to me at a discounted rate for my honest review and swatches, and everything that I've shared is 100% my honest opinion.

I don't believe that these are currently in stock, but I recommend checking http://nvrenuffpolish.bigcartel.com/ nonetheless and getting whatever you can possibly grab! Make sure that you follow @nvrenuffpolish on Instagram to get all of the updates on any upcoming releases and/or restocks! 

Nvr Enuff Polish - Unidentified Flying Holo Review!

I've been avoiding this blog post for so long since I wanted to have sun shots for such magnificent holo polishes, but I don't want to let it sit on the back burner for so long that I forget to do it! So hopefully someday soon I'll have sun pictures to add to it, but for now I have some pretty good indoor pictures to show off all of the beautiful holos that the ladies of Nvr Enuff cooked up.

As I've said before, I love collections this size! They don't break the bank, you accumulate fewer untrieds, and the quality is always just perfect! After hosting a "name this polish" giveaway for a holo topcoat, Lynnae and Alix fell in love with one of the names that didn't win (UFH - Unidentified Flying Holo) and decided to create a collection just because of the name. That's the kind of awesome customer-to-creator relationship that I love with them! Not to mention that it spawned this collection. Let me just say before I start, all of the swatches below have no top coat. They all have very little clean up required, if any. These polishes are overall some of the best quality polishes that I own. Just a fair warning!

Silver/gold holo

I don't even know what to classify Interstellar as since it doesn't really match any of my silver or gold polishes, but I most definitely love it! It's the sheerest of the set, but still builds opacity very well and would probably be great for sandwiches or even as a topper.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

I just want to sit here and stare at my screen, it looks so beautiful! For this mani, I used two coat on my thumb, three coats on my pointer finger, one coat over two coats of Glitzerland (OPI) on my middle finger, and sandwiched it with This Looks Like Fun! (also Nvr Enuff) on my pinky. My ring finger is three coats of Godiva from Zoya and the little heart charm is from @charminglysimplenailart on IG. As I said before, this one was a little thin but still built up opacity very quickly and applied very evenly.

Cranberry red holo

Oh my gooooodness, Cosmic is probably one of my all-time favorite polishes or things of any sort on the planet. The opacity is amazing, the color is perfect, the clean up is not even a thing...I could go on forever.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

This color is just so perfect for everyday wear, holidays, just any possible reason ever to put this on. I used one coat on my thumb, two on my pointer, one coat over one coat of Velvet Rope (Color Club) on my middle finger, and one coat over one coat of You Don't Have Claws At All (also Nvr Enuff) on my pinky. My ring finger is two coats of Chyna from Zoya and the charm is from @charminglysimplenailart again.

True black holo

I say "true black" because I've gotten black holos before and been a bit disappointed since the holo used by the maker tends to make the polish lean more towards grey, but Meteoric is a stunner. Not only does it truly look black to me, it's without a doubt the most opaque black holo that I've ever seen. Carefully applied, it could even be a one-coater. Yowza.

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

I can't even begin to describe my experience with this polish since I was so surprised by it on so many fronts! In short, it's the perfect black holo. That about sums it up. For one, the opacity is off the charts, the holo dusting is just perfect, and there's no staining/clean up issues. I can't gush about it enough! By the way, did I mention that none of the polishes on this post have top coat at all? Yeah, they're all that glossy and perfect by themselves. I used one coat on my thumb, two coats on my pointer finger, one coat over one coat of Camelot (A England) on my middle finger, and sandwiched it with Making Christmas (also Nvr Enuff) on my pinky. My ring finger is two coats of Dahlia from Zoya and the charm is also from @charminglysimplenailart on IG.

Navy blue holo

What's this, another perfect blue? Extraterrestrial is really just that. It's an alien. This can't be people technology. Another shockingly pigmented masterpiece, this beauty just has to be seen to be believed. And even then, I still don't believe that it's a thing that exists (and I own it???).

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

See, I wouldn't lie to you guys. Another perfect polish. I used one coat of this beauty on my thumb, two coats on my pointer finger, one coat over one coat of Yoga-ta Get This Blue (OPI) on my middle finger, and one coat over one coat of Iolite (also Nvr Enuff) on my pinky. My ring finger is three coats of Nyx from Zoya and the charm is again from @charminglysimplenailart on IG.

Direct Sun

A while after I did this review, I finally had the chance to get a sun shot! So here's a better view of all of the UFHs and how they look in direct sun.

As always, these polishes were sent to me at a discounted rate for my honest review and swatches, and everything that I've shared is 100% my honest opinion.

Since I took horrifically long to post this (I'm so sorry!), I'm not positive if any of these are still available, but I recommend checking http://nvrenuffpolish.bigcartel.com/ and getting whatever you can possibly grab! The store is currently under maintenance for the holidays, but I'm sure those two magnificent ladies will be back with a vengeance for next year! And make sure you follow @nvrenuffpolish on Instagram to get all of the updates on any upcoming releases and/or restocks! 

Nvr Enuff Polish - Fright Night Review!

Keeping in typical Allison fashion, I'm about two months late for this post, but I promise it'll still be a good one! As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got really weighed down with life and school this semester so my blog posts have been at the back of my mind. But let's forget about that, shall we? It's almost a new year, which means more blog posts! If all goes as planned, I actually have two to post tonight and one tomorrow. I'll be all caught up! 

First up in my blog fest is the Fright Night collection from Nvr Enuff Polish! Obviously this was intended to be a Halloween/scary movie collection, but as with all of their polishes, I really think you could wear them at any point in the year and they'd look just wonderful.

I love that they always have fairly small collections like this! It makes it much easier for everyone to be able to purchase the whole collection, for one, and it ensures that they focus on the quality and details of every little polish. (Which, I promise you, they do!)

Cobalt blue jelly with lots of fun glitters and happiness

First up in this party is Requiem For A Dream. I quite possible have more blues in my collection than any other color, and yet this was so very hard to match for layering! As frustrating as that is for my OCD, it's so amazing to see these ladies create yet another unique blue for my collection. And boy, is this one a doozy!

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

Outdoor (Shade)

What did I tell you?! Requiem For A Dream was just so yummy I wanted to die. Sadly the sun was gone before I finished this swatch, so there's no glorious sun pictures, but it looks so good in any lighting that it doesn't really matter! As with all of their polishes, this beauty dried very fast and had an amazingly easy application. For this mani, I used two coats alone on my thumb, pointer, and pinky fingers, one coat over Yoga-ta Get This Blue (OPI) on my middle finger, and one coat over Camelot (A England) on my ring finger. I also mattefied (mattified?) my pointer finger because DUH? It looks so amazing matted! I also hand painted a little syringe on my ring finger to go along with the Requiem For A Dream theme.

Another juicy jelly with some magnificent glitters, this time in cranberry red

Next up is The Shining. As you might expect, this one is also horrifyingly perfect! These ladies will never cease to amaze me with their ability to make such pigmented polishes that still leave no stains and are just a breeze to put on. But to the swatches!

Direct Sun

Shade

Unfortunately since this is such a bright red, it made my camera explode and washed out my skin a lot which threw off the color of the polish as well. But you can still see how pretty it is! As always, the application for this was just wonderful. Despite being a juicy jelly polish, it only took two coats to get this opacity and they both dried very quickly. On top of that I did some black "blood?" drips using Camelot (A England) and mattefied every other nail because you're supposed to matte jellies! Definitely a must-have polish for me, as with every other one they make...

Baby blue creme with small glitters and glows in the dark!

Donnie Darko has to be my favorite of this collection just because I can't get enough glow in the dark polishes! Not to mention it's sheer perfection anyway...I'm gonna go ahead and describe this as "electric baby blue," because that's really what it feels like to me. It's full of delicious flakies and glitter and I just can't possibly say more nice things about it!

Indoor (Daylight Bulb)

Shade

GITD

What did I tell you?! Again, another perfect blue. The most surprising thing about this polish to me was how easy it was to apply even though it was GITD. Every GITD polish I've ever gotten has been just a horrible experience to get on and off (although usually worth it because I love glowy), but I didn't have nearly those problems with Donnie Darko. The consistency was still a little bit thicker than normal since there were GITD pigments, but it was still pretty easy to work with. I used three coats on all nails and attempted to draw a little bunny on my ring finger, but he sort of looks like an alien.

Fabulous soft pink crelly with microglitters

I'm gonna be honest with you, Valley of the Dolls was only second on my list for this collection because it didn't glow in the dark. Despite having had pink hair in the past, I'm not really a huge pink polish fan because it's generally so boring to me, but I abso-freaking-lutey love this polish. It went on so smooth, the glitters distributed so evenly, and it was just overall perfect. I kind of want to go put it on right now after thinking about it so much.

Direct Sun

Shade

This shade of pink looked amazing with my skin tone, applied so smoothly, and was just overall fantastic, as I've said. I used two coats of Valley of the Dolls on all nails except my accent which was a base of Alpine Snow (OPI) and some pills! I also dotted some of Valley of the Dolls and Rescued (Pure Nail Polish) around the pills. This whole collection was a stunner, but I think I can see myself using this polish the most. It dried so quickly and required no clean up so it's great for last minute manis, not to mention the color scheme of it works really well for so many occasions! (Namely Valentine's and BCA) 

As always, these polishes were sent to me at a discounted rate for my honest review and swatches, and everything that I've shared is 100% my honest opinion.

Since I took horrifically long to post this (I'm so sorry!), I'm not positive if any of these are still available, but I recommend checking http://nvrenuffpolish.bigcartel.com/ and getting whatever you can possibly grab! All polishes are $8.75 each (15ml)/$3.75 each (5ml) for the remaining shades. The store is currently under maintenance for the holidays, but I'm sure those two magnificent ladies will be back with a vengeance for next year!

Nvr Enuff Polish - Minerals Rock! Collection Review!

I now have dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's, so I apologize in  advance if this post is even more sugar-filled than normal! For my next blog post, I have what is probably my favorite collection from Nvr Enuff or any other thing on the planet ever. The Minerals Rock! Collection resonated with me early on since I collected rocks when I was little and it just reminded me of that. And then I saw the actual polishes and I was like "WHAAAAT?" They're so amazing. So without further sugar-induced ranting, here we go!

Needless to say just from these pictures, this collection is just perfect. The colors really work for fall, but are still very easily transitioned into other seasons. One of my favorite things about Nvr Enuff is that they create polishes that mean something to them, not necessarily ones that "fit the season." Mind you, that's by no means a knock on any indie or mainstream brands that have seasonal collections - I love them as well! I just always enjoy not being able to guess what these ladies will come up with next!

A deep red/purple with red pearl shift, and lots of red holo dust and glitters
(two coats for opaqueness)

Star Garnet is first up in this collection because these ladies never fail to give me another unique red! This cranberry-toned red/magenta/purple is so hard to categorize because it just transcends real life. It has the perfect dusting of holo glitters and it just looks like Thanksgiving dinner to me. (My grandma makes the best mashed potatoes ever - Hi Grandma!)

Sorry for the random cat hair in the first picture, my cat was lounging in the sun as I went outside to take pictures and he just needed some snuggles. But on to the polish! It is magnificent. I'm sure you're surprised by this, but I promise it is perfect. This was two amazing coats on all nails and top coat. I tried to think of some nail art to do with this, but I really couldn't imagine not having this beauty on every nail that I own. I do absolutely plan on using it during the holidays though, it just seems like an amazing fall/winter polish to me! As always, the formula was perfect and there was no staining or issues with it even though it was a rather pigmented red.

(two generous coats for opaqueness)

Next up is Dioptase, the most majestic of all colors in the world. I was extra excited when I saw this polish because I've been looking for a good green/teal for Eagles nails, and this one just looked perfect! I still can't get over it. It has the perfect amount of holo glitters and it just makes me so happy inside. So happy.

Direct Sun

Shade

I swear that's a 9 and not a lowercase g. I SWEAR. This polish just is so perfect to me. It's so deep and squishy and yet it requires so few coats to look that way! It's like having all of the good parts of jellies and none of the bad parts. I used two coats on all nails and attempted to free-hand a 9 using Alpine Snow (OPI). The font the Eagles use is apparently very hard to reproduce with an OPI brush though. As always, very little clean-up and great dry time! Definitely a go-to polish for fall and winter for me.

A blue cream with large and small golden flakeys
(two coats for opaqueness)

Next up is Lapis Lazuli! I was so surprised when I saw this polish for so many reasons (all good ones, I promise!) Firstly, I was amazed that, despite blue being the color I have the most of, none of them were close to this shade! That's always exciting to me to get an entirely new color in my collection. The next thing that was super excited was the little pearly gold flakes swimming around in there...I almost died. And if they looked pretty in the bottle? They looked even more amazing on nails.

Direct Sun

Shade

What did I tell you? Not to mention my phone's camera is not very great, so all of these are even more mind-shattering in person! One thing that I really loved about this (besides every single thing about it, which I also loved) was that it's sheer enough to layer on other things and opaque enough that it isn't a pain to work up to opacity alone. That sentence doesn't really make sense, but hopefully the pictures kind of show you what I mean! I used one coat alone on my thumb (it was even, but gave it more of a jelly look than two coats did), one coat over Blue Lagoon (also Nvr Enuff) on my pointer finger, two coats alone on my middle finger, and one coat over Limitless (Pure Nail Polish) on my pinky. My ring finger is a gradient using Princeton (ILNP Brand), Sporty (Nvr Enuff), and Autumn (Enchanted Polish) to bring out the iridescent shards. Needless to say, just sheer love.

(two coats for opaqueness)

Iolite is probably one of my favorite polishes ever. The color combination is so classic and perfect, and I'm such a sucker for deep, vampy shades like this. It's such a deep purple (similar to Posh in it photographing a little darker than it really is) that it looks black in some lighting - which I looove. Plus the silver flakes just make it so unique and just ajwafiwje amazing.

Direct Sun

Shade

I'm gonna go ahead and just blow your mind right now. All of my nails have one coat. No top coat, no clean-up, just joy. Despite having flakies in it, it dried super fast and glossy and SOOO opaque in one coat! I'm such a happy clam. I used Perle (Dior) to make a random stripe on each nail since it dries matte and I liked the contrast. Now you see why this is one of my favorites ever! So low-maintenance but so stunning.

A multicolored, multi flakie 'topper'- best used over white in one to two coats for a real 'opal look' or thin coat over a darker color to show the dimension of the multi flake

I was so excited to use Opal because it's my momma's birthstone and because it's one of those polishes that just looks amazing over everything! This picture didn't really do it justice, so I got another inside later that I'll have at the bottom. This flakie topper just brings out every color in the rainbow, dries so fast, and makes any boring mani so much more intricate and neat.

Direct Sun

Shade

I really wish the sun didn't wash out my pictures as much on this one, it looks so majestic and unicorn-like in the sun! One thing that I really love about this polish (and I tried to show in these swatches) is that it can really work for any season. I used it over spring colors on my middle finger and a deep red on my pinky - it really looks amazing on anything! I used one coat over Limitless (Pure Nail Polish) on my thumb, two coats alone on my pointer finger, one coat over a random sponging of Princeton, Cutie Pop, Music Box, and Dreaming in Violet (all ILNP Brand) on my middle finger, one coat over Alpine Snow (OPI) on my ring finger (P.S. this nail was way drop dead gorgeous in person), and one coat over Killer Curves (Color Club) on my pinky. Great dry time and it applied much more evenly than flakie toppers like this normally do!

(two generous coats in a more 'dabbing' manor for opaqueness)

Black Opal is another amazing polish, as I'm sure you assumed from my ranting. While it isn't as versatile as it's clear-based twin, it is an amazing base for galaxy nails and a nice twist on basic black nails. It's basically a win-win-win!

Direct Sun

Shade

Black Opal was so much fun to play with, I'm still thinking of fun new ways to use it! Clearly everyone else agreed, as it's currently sold out, but it might be making a comeback soon. For these nails, I used one coat over Limitless (Pure Nail Polish) on my thumb and middle fingers, three coats alone on my pointer finger, one coat over Elephant Walk (China Glaze) on my ring finger, and one coat alone on my pinky. I really loved all of these looks, but I think my favorite was one coat over black! It still looked deep and squishy like it was layered but it saved polish and dried more quickly with fewer coats. Still though, any combination that involves this polish is going to be amazing!

Overall, another home run from Nvr Enuff. As always, their polishes are entirely affordable, great quality, and they're two of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet. As always, these polishes were sent to me at a discounted rate for my honest review and swatches, and everything that I've shared is 100% my honest opinion.

While Black Opal is currently sold out, you should still head over to http://nvrenuffpolish.bigcartel.com/ and grab some of the others! All polishes are $8.75 each (15ml)/$3.75 each (5ml) for the remaining shades. Don't let them sell out before you grab one! And make sure you follow @nvrenuffpolish on Instagram to get all of the updates on any upcoming releases and/or restocks!
