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:

• Canada $8.50 from nailpolishcanada
• USA $8.00 from soulsticespa 

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.

imPRESS by Broadway Nails Launch!

A few weeks ago I attended party for imPRESS me by Broadway Nails.

What is imPRESS nails you ask?
Your way to salon perfect nails in seconds!

• No drying time
• Superior, lasting shine
• Easy removal
• Lasts up to a week

They come in 36 different styles which suits each one of your personalities! 

I found the "nail polish" bottle that they come in super cute.

Application is REALLY easy. No glue need.

Just pull back the plastic to expose a special adhesive.
Line it up with your cuticle and push on.

My two week shellac was on it's way out, so I applyed the zebra print to my nails.

How amazing does that LOOK!

They look like gel nails in my opinon for less than half the price.

Check out this gorgeous picture I took of Anjali from Rock that look new imPRESS nail mani.

UPDATE for removal:
You gently peel off from side to remove. If they seem really 'stuck' then apply polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute, the peel off.
* I didn't have any damage on my nails because I used nail polish remover to
take off the nail.*

What do you think about these nails?

Would you rock them?
