"Pretty Penny" & "Purple People Eater" by Cupcake Polish

Hey everyone!

I have another two polishes from Cupcake Polish to share with you all today.
This first one is called "Pretty Penny". This polish is packed full of glitter in a pink shimmer base. I used two coats over NCLA "Not So Sweet".
I really like this polish, it's really fun and girly!
Dried smooth and fast. Application was great as well.





This next polish is called "Purple People Eater". This one has a purple jelly base with purple, red, and blue glitters. This one dries a little matte. I used a top coat in my swatches to give it more of a shine.
This polish also dries fast and smooth. Application was a little tough, although I'm sure it's because I have a mini bottle.





This polish could be purchased here (both are $9);

"Just In Lime" & "Off to the Races" by Cupcake Polish

Hey everyone.
I have two more polishes from Cupcake Polish to share with you all today.

"Off to the Races" is a transparent base with pink shimmer and full of glitters. (too many colors and shapes to name, so check out the photos below to see for yourself!) I used two coats over NYC "Skin Tight Denim Creme". I didn't have to dig for glitters as much as I thought I'd have to. I did have to dig for those hearts though, I only got one and after a couple minutes of digging I just stopped trying to get another one.
This polish dried fast and only one glitter curled on my nails (on my middle finger, the blue hex) so it didn't bother me.
This polish is so beautiful over this dark navy blue! The shimmer is so pretty, I wore this as a full manicure the rest of the day after taking pictures.

"Just in Lime" is a gold glitter textured polish with small gold circle glitters and medium gold star glitters. The star glitters were a little annoying, not go get out of the bottle but the points of the star would poke me because they didn't lay fully flat. To me, this polish doesn't really need the gold stars and circles, because they get lost in it, like they don't really add anything to the overall appeal of the polish. You can kinda see them when the polish is layered over a darker one.
Also, it was textured in a way all glitter feels textured, so not like super gritty but not smooth, so I just used a top coat to make it smooth. 
I used two coats on my ring finger on its own and one coat over NYC "Skin Tight Denim Creme" on all my other fingers.

"Daiquiri" by PolishedbyKPT

Hey everyone!
Today I have another polish by PolishedbyKPT to share with you called "Daiquiri". It's a beautiful thermal that is red when cold and pink when hot.
This is three coats by itself, application was fine, the polish started to become a little thick after the second coat. It dried smooth though. This polish needs a top coat, because it looks almost textured without one, and a top coat also brings out the shimmer and really makes this polish shine. So yeah, top coat is a must anyway but for sure with this.

"Color Therapy" by PolishedbyKPT

Hey everyone!
I used one coat of "Color Therapy" by PolishedbyKPT over Island Girl "Aloha Magic". I used this blue because it really made all the glitter really pop! It is a neon, too. You can easily see the difference between the orange and pink glitters over blue, they don't look like the same color.
On the ring finger I did a random glitter placement design using the glitters in the bottle.
This polish had medium green hex glitters, small square green glitters, medium pink hex glitters, and orange glitters in two different hex sizes. It also has some small shimmer glitters which are those little dots on my nails that look like snow.

Here are the pics;

After I took these pictures, I wanted to do some more glitter placement but on all my fingers. I had no set idea for what I was going to do. I just did whatever came to my mind.

Here are some photos I did of the glitter placement design;

"Bachelorette Party" by PolishedbyKPT

Hey everyone!
This is "Bachelorette Party" by PolishedbyKPT, a glitter topper packed full of purple and silver glitters of different shapes and sizes (and some scattered holo in the sun!)
I used two layers over Sinful Colors "Candy Coated"(purple) and over a white accent nail.
Dried really fast, and super smooth even without a top coat.

"High Maintenance" by PolishedbyKPT

Hey everyone! Today I have a swatch and review of "High Maintenance" by PolishedbyKPT.
I used two coats of this glitter polish over NCLA's "Not So Sweet" (pink) and Sinful Colors "Candy Coated" (purple).
I did a watermarble accent nail for fun.
Application was nice, I didn't have to go fishing for glitters, they were really easy to get out of the bottle.

I love the colors of all the different glitters in this polish. They seem to change depending on what you use as a base color! The pink base you can see all the pastel glitters, and the large ones look almost purple, but over the purple base, they look more pink. This is a very fun glitter, and can go with pretty much any base color you want.

Also a plus, the large glitters don't curl! Yay!
