Soulstice Nail Colour: Napa and Montreal

Soulstice Nail Colours are some of my favorite non mainstream brand. Not only are they innovative but they are free of all bad chemicals (3-free), Vegan, Cruelty Free, Gluten- Free, Made in the USA and Paraben- Free. Soulstice is also a PETA Caring Consumer Company. Be sure to "like" Soulstice on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and to check out their other fabulous nail colors online. Onto the polish!!

 Soulstice Montreal is an amazing berry purple with a hint of shimmer. This was two flawless coats and NO top coat. These polishes are amazing, they don't need a top coat and they're shinier than any top coat I own. I love purples (that's no secret) and this is no exception. Montreal is a great purple for fall, especially if you don't want to go too dark but still be elegant and on par for the season trend.

Next up is Napa. Oh Napa how you make me want a glass of Merlot! Napa again was two coats with no top coat and is a deep true wine red with lighter red/gold shimmer to it. This one is a true show stopper and I'll be wearing the heck out of this color in the near future. I'm thinking for a pedi first. The red tone is sensual, elegant and sophisticated and again has that unheard of shine with no top coat. Oh, did I mention that dry time on these are quick as well? Bonus. Love these and their price tag is only $8 which is a plus as well- good quality, great colors and super shine? Yes please!

Soulstice: St. Tropez and Kauai (with flip flop stamps!)

Hi monkeys, today I have more Soulstice Nail Colours: St. Tropez and Kauai which are two of their new shades for Spring. First up is Kauai... mmm Kauai. 

 Kauai is a shimmer.. a strawberry with a kiss of pink undertone and gorgeous shimmer. Kauai applied perfectly, and it is actually quite pigmented so if you did one generous coat you'd reach full opacity. I did two for this swatch. Such a cheery color for spring, I cannot wait to wear this on my toes on vacay in Hawaii next week :)

 For funsies I stamped over Kauai using Fab Ur Nails Fun2 plate.. love the flip flops and it seemed appropriate for my upcoming vacation.

Next up is St. Tropez a super pretty shimmer nude champagne. I used two coats and again the formula was perfect. I like that the shimmer in this polish is kind of a pearl effect as well. This is a great color for spring because nudes are making a come back and this is more interesting than a nude creme. Win.

Soulstice: Telluride and Rio

Hi! I have something new to show you; Soulstice polish.  I was sent these two for review: Rio and Telluride. Let's start with Rio; a coral tangerine frost that is opaque in 2 coats. I clearly did not have a steady hand when I applied this because like all frost polishes, you can see the brush lines and mine are a bit wonky, my fault, not the polishes. I also liked the simple design of the bottle and handle, it reminds me of Diamond Cosmetics but may be a little longer handle, simple and easy.  Next up is Telluride which is a really cool color. I first had to lay down a coat of Essie Mint Candy Apple which matches the base color of Telluride because the polish itself is sheer and while it would probably build up, I took a different approach.  Telluride is a seafoam green tone that has AMAZING yellow/champagne/gold shimmer in it- Stunning! This one is from their new collection which you will have a chance to win from here so be sure to check in tomorrow early morning!!  :). The formula was good on both polishes, no pooling. This is a company worth checking out, they are vegan and cruelty free, both important these days :)
