Lace and Lacquers: YOU POLISH: Runaway Bride, Garden Variety & The Violet Hour

You Polish (L->R) Runaway Bride, Garden Variety and The Violet Hour

Today I have a few polishes from You Polish! One is half of the Rachel of Friends Duo, Runaway Bride. The other 2 are spring inspired polishes :] I don't know about you, but on this cloudy San Diego day, I could use some spring inspired polishes. Check 'em out after the jump!

You Polish Runaway Bride over Zoya Kennedy

This is such a gorgeous and feminine glitter topper! Runaway Bride is filled with "everything white: hexes, squares, bars, translucent matte in a multi-colored shimmer clear base". This would look awesome over so many colors, I decided to stick with the bridal theme and go for something neutral-ish. The shimmer is awesome, it sparkles blue, green, yellow/gold, and purple. The iridescent glitter isn't so bad either ;]

I did 2 coats of Runaway Bride over Zoya Kennedy, I'm so happy how well these 2 went together :D Application was smooth and there was a nice amount of glitter coverage - without being thick and difficult. No issues in the dry time department either!

You Polish Garden Variety over Sinful Colors Sugar Rush

Now this is spring in a bottle! Garden Variety is a mix of "matte pink and green micro hexes with metallic fuchsia and holographic violet and pink in a clear base" with matte white flower glitter. I really like the mix of green and fuchsia glitter, it's a good contrast of color! I could of done without the white flowers, which are easy to pass if you don't like shaped glitter - like moi.

I did 2 coats of Garden Variety over Sinful Colors Sugar Rush. No application issues, glitter came out nicely - even the white flowers, but like I said they're easy to weed out if you aren't a fan. Dry time was fantastic, no issues.

The Violet Hour over Zoya Mira

The Violet Hour is "purple holo, metallic, and matte micro glitters in a clear base accented with larger violet holographic hexagons". I think all that holographic glitter makes this one my favorite, the mix of purple glitter is very nice too!

I did 2 coats of The Violet Hour over Zoya Mira. I love how Zoya Mira was a perfect freakin' match!
No issues in the application, it was nice a glitter filled and smoooth. I didn't have any problems with dry time either.

I think The Violet Hour and Runaway Bride are my favorite, while I'm a fan of the contrast of color in Garden Variety I just don't like it as a micro glitter blend :]

TTYL!
