Pretty and Polished – Country Girl Swag

Provided for Honest Review

Lovely readers!  I have some exciting polishes to show you.  I’m excited because they are so lovely and springy and I am SO READY for warmer weather.  I have never in all of my *coughclearsthroatmumblecough* years have seen so much ice and snow and winter weather in South Carolina…seriously.  To add to my excitement Pretty and Polished sent me two of their polishes from their Country Girl Swag collection!  I am SO a country girl.  I live in a town with a population of less than 900…no stoplight…no grocery store.  Yup, I’m a country girl!

Now that you’re bored let me liven things up!  Both of these will be available on March 1st.  First up we have Barefoot in Dixie:

Barefoot in Dixie is a lovely spring green crelly based glitter polish.  There are pink, purple, and green hex glitters in varying sizes.  This color SO reminds me of Easter grass and Easter eggs and just puts me right in the mood for Spring, well whatever it is we call the day between winter and summer around here!

Application was really stellar.  I have a lot of experience at this point with crelly based glitter polishes (since they are my FAVORITE) and I had no problems with this one at all.  I didn’t have to dab or fish and the glitter spread very nicely without a lot of manipulation!

Polishes used:  Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Pretty and Polished – Barefoot in Dixie; Carpe Noctem – Glitterslayer; Glisten & Glow – HK Girl Topcoat

Next up we have my favorite…it’s a shock to me that this one is my favorite of the two.  As I may have mentioned, I do not like yellow.  Yellow does not like me.  Yellow USUALLY looks absolutely horrid on me…and yet…none of that applies here!  Here is Sugar in a Sundress

Isn’t she lovely?  I definitely now want a little blonde puppy, I want to call her Sugar and dress her in little doggie sundresses!  Wait…was that too much information?  Also, yes I am the kind of person that would dress her little lapdog…well when she lets me.   My puppy won’t let me put her in clothes…she protests mightily.  Oh yes nail polish…sorry you just have to knock me back in line now and then!  This is a lovely pale pale pale yellow shimmery crelly base filled with blue and purple glitters.

I had the same wonderful application with this polish as I did Barefoot in Dixie.  Both manis were two coats with no undies!  They did need a glitter smoothing topcoat but that really wasn’t an issue.  I already keep that kind of thing on hand as a matter of course…you know because I’m the glitter gal!  I also wore this polish as accent for a full week and let me tell you it wore like iron.  Super pleased with the formula on these polishes!

Let me wrap up by saying that Pretty and Polished has just started a new Beauty Box subscription.  I am like…kermit-arms excited about it and unfortunately I hadn’t gotten my paycheck so I wasn’t able to sign up for the first month it sold out quickly…so as soon as I can I’m signing up for the 3 month subscription and I definitely recommend checking it out as these boxes are going to have 2 Full sized exclusive Pretty and Polished polishes, a mini polish from the current line up, and other fun goodies!
