Good afternoon ladies! (and gents, if you're there too :P).
Today I have some beautiful new polishes to share with you from Northern Star Polish! :)
Just a little back story on Northern Star Polish, it was started by a girl name Kristin. She opened her shop in March of 2012 and all of her polishes are hand mixed and the Big 4 free :) She has worldwide shipping with a flat rate of $3, plus free shipping for orders over $50! How awesome is that!? I totally envy people that start small businesses :) I think it's pretty dang kewl! :P
So now on to the polishes! I am new to this brand and I have to say I am so impressed! These polishes are from her summer collection (which is being released tomorrow, June 15th) and if I were to rate the whole collection I think I would totally give her 5/5 :P
**These polishes were sent to me for review. Please see my Disclosure Policy listed in the tabs above.**
Night Swimming, Electric Lime, Beach Baby & Burning Embers
It has been quite a long time since I have worn a red polish...it's not my go-to color, plus I prefer other colors more...but this one is awesome!
Burning Embers, it's a beautiful red holo with red micro glitters. It was completely opaque in 2 coats, although one coat was pretty opaque by itself, plus the formula is awesome! It applied so even and so smooth that I didn't even use a topcoat.
Beach Baby is my absolute favorite of the 4 polishes! I have no idea why, but I have been so attracted to orange polishes as of late...then you add gold shimmers!? I was in heaven with this polish! I applied 3 coats and was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to dry matte.
Don't you just love the brightness of this polish! This is Electric Lime and it is just that! Electric! :P I love the way the extra colored glitters makes this polish pop! :D It's so fun and eye catching! 2 coats was perfect for full opaqueness and I did apply one top coat over this polish just to smooth over all of the glitters.
And last up, Night Swimming...you all know I love my blues, and I have to admit that I have a lot :P ...but I do not have one like this! The shade of this blue is to die for...but one thing I had a hard time catching in the photos is the pink/purple shimmer! In the right lighting the shimmer really shines and makes this polish extra gorgeous! Plus this one also dries matte :) HEAVEN!!
I love these polishes!! And also the cuticle oil :) The one thing that I noticed right off the bat with the cuticle oil is that it doesn't have a strong smell (which is nice) and it doesn't leave my fingers feeling greasy like some other cuticle oils I have tried. It applies with a roller ball, and most cuticle oils I've tried with a roller ball dispense a lot of liquid when you apply it to your fingers, but this one didn't, which I actually loved because I had just the right amount of oil on each cuticle! Well done Kristin!
