Vegan Finds: Soulstice Spa nail polish review + Swatches

For the past few weeks I've been testing polishes from a vegan & cruelty-free brand called Soulstice Spa.

They are USA based and "non-toxic, 3FREE color + shine ---- free of toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate".

The three colors shown are from the Fall 2011 collection!
Left to Right: LA, South Beach & Telluride
LA: Stars & sparkle; glitter dust.
South Beach: Sheer white, sleek and modern.
Telluride: Ethereal, crisp light green shine.

POLISH BREAKDOWN
Coverage/Color-off:
  • Great consistency- Not runny or too thick.
  • Two coats to get good coverage.
  • High shine (similar to a gel treatment)
Price:
I loved the mix of Glitter sizes in LA.
I found that they were easier to remove with a base underneath.
 COMBO: LA & Telluride

I think that South Beach applied like a dream: Smoothly!
This is a color that I would not usually rock but it I'm starting to like it on my skin tone.
Two Coats of South Beach.
Overall I would give these polishes great high marks. They could definitely rival the non-vegan polishes on the market. As for the price, $8.00/ $8.50 is very reasonable for a cruelty-free polish.

Nail of the Day: OPI Extravaganza

eBeauty.ca sells Butter London nail polishes!!

For the past few years, I've seen swatches of Butter London nail polishes on UK blogs. Not only do they have an amazing color range but their natural nail care philosophy is truly amazing. They promise that their polishes are 3 Free:
No Formaldehyde

 Guess what!
Now Canadian Girls like myself have access to Butter London through eBeauty.ca

How often do you get your nails done at a salon?

This year I have gone around six times. To me that's a lot. 
In previous years if I went once that would be amazing.

With new colors, designs and fun alternatives like Shellac around, how can I stay away!
My question for you is ..
How often do you get your nails done at a salon?

Nail of the Day: Fire Burning Nails CRAKLE edition

I know..
EVERYONE and their mom is wearing crackle nails right now.
Instead of doing the basic manicure, I find ways to spice it up!

HELLOOOOO
TRI-color mani!
I started off with the yellow then added the pink to the top and the bottom
with enough space for the yellow to shine through.
Colors for reference- Sally Hansen & Sephora by OPI
I always use BARRYM nail effects for my crackle look.

What do you think?
Would you try this mani out?

NOTD: Im Green with Envy for that Party of Five

 I have no idea how to name a nail of the day post.
Hopefully Ill get better as I post more :D

Isn't this combo gorgeous!! 
Remember my recent nail polish Haul?
I used Sally Hansen's Green with Envy with Wet n Wild Party of Five glitters!

I started with two coats of Green with Envy, then two coats of WnW Part of Five glitters over it. FYI* I didn't use a top coat.

So far my mani has lasted almost 2 weeks
I have nooo idea why but anything that's Sally Hansen or WnW never comes off...which is a huge plus.

The two colors I used:

Thanks for reading :D
