Tokidoki Nail Polish: SANDy Swatches and Review

Hi lovelies :3 Today I have another Tokidoki bar glitter for you guys! And this one is SANDy. Yea, all caps except the y, hahaha. Sandy is the little pink haired girl who's in a cactus suit, and this polish, with the gold and green/blue duochrome bar glitters, does really capture the cactusness! And of course, with a light pink glitter base, it adds all the girlyness :3




These are 3 coats of SANDy, and two coats of topcoat: one coat of OPI, and one coat of Seche Vite.
 These dry down more gritty than Donutella, so you do need 2 thick coats of top coat to smooth it down. I love this polish sooooo much because in normal lighting, it's a fairly standard "neutral", but when light hits it, BAM. glitter explosion heheheheh LOOOVE.

Natural lighting
 I also love that this polish is a bit more sheer than Donutella, which makes it really nice for layering! I can't wait to try it over black!

1 Coat


DUOCHROME MADEMESS WHEEEEEEEEE
Formula was great, thinner than Donutella, so a bit easier to work with. Love this polish overall! Get it before Sephora discontinues it ):

Color Club Take Wing Collection: Daisy Does It, Sparkle and Soar

Hi my sweethearts! So today, as promised, I have two other nail polishes from the Take Wing collection, Daisy Does It, a warm golden yellow with iridescent yellow and green shimmer/ duochrome, and Sparkle and Soar, a yellowed orange with golden shimmer.


1 Thick Coat
2 Coats
 
Personally, I think 2 coats is fine, but if you REALLY don't like bare nail showing, then go for 3. Also, doing thick coats with these are soooo easy, they're not goopy or anything like that, so thicker coats are actually really nice (:

 
Oops. Do you see the green shimmer?
 Okay, now here's the part where things get interesting:

1 coat of Daisy Does It over a plain black cream.

Blurred to capture sparkle!!!
 OH MY GOSH. DO YOU SEE THAT. omg I got so excited after I layered it, I don't think I'm ever going to wear this by itself again hahaha because it's not that flattering on my skin tone. Over black, the green sparkles really show up and are definitely more prominent. GORGEOUS.


Now, Sparkle and Soar.
1 coat


2 Coats

Again, over black. Just the way I like them :D, index and ring are two coats of Sparkle and Soar

Doesnt the orangey yellow remind you of thanksgiving? :3


Gorgeous polishes. Layered over black. On their own, I'm not too much of a fan, because they don't flatter my skintone. The formula was really nice, REALLY nice, very thin and smooth. Overall, I'm glad I purchased these because they would be sooo amazing for layering!
Hehe, thanks for reading guys! See you next time (:
