Polish Addict Mystery Bag

Today I trekked through a blizzard, up a slippery driveway, to the mailbox to check the mail because I knew I had some goodies coming along and I hadddd to check. The trek through the blizzard was worth it, my order from Polish Addict (along with a great package from a nail mail buddy) was in there!

Recently, Polish Addict had a mystery bag deal, where you could get 5 polishes and extra goodies for $25. When I saw it on Laura's Instagram, i was like "hell yeah!!" and as soon as i got my paycheck, i ordered it!


After attempting to get the package open without breaking a nail, I unwrapped these babies!! I got Boho Turquoise, Ice Princess, Spiced Cocoa, Diamonds Are Forever, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It also came with a yummy smelling cuticle oil, pink caviar beads, gold loose glitter, striping tape and a nail file.

This gorgeous brown is Spiced Cocoa. I'm wearing two coats on its own. It's a rich brown color with gorgeous subtle shimmer. It reminded me of a nice creamy warm cup of hot chocolate, perfect for this cold snowy day.
Next up, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. This is two coats on its own. This polish is a gold base with all sorts of gold glitters in it. I actually really liked this polish. I wasn't sure because of all the gold, when it comes to metallic colors I lean more towards silver, but this polish comes together quite nicely.
This is Boho Turquoise. Im wearing two coats of an unnamed E.L.F. polish topped with Boho Turquoise. i LOVE this polish. Its jam packed with gold, brown, copper and turquoise glitter. The bigger pieces came out pretty easy and all the glitter lay flat. This will be a perfect summer polish.
This next polish is super girlie haha This polish is called Diamonds Are Forever. Shown here is 1 coat of Diamonds Are Forever over 1 coat of OPI Casino Royal. Its jam packed full of diamonds and lots of gorgeous glitter.
After a day of swatching polish, I ended up in this beauty. I'm wearing an unnamed silver Sally Hansen polish topped with Polish Addict Ice Princess. This is really a gorgeous combo. It definitely feels like ice on my fingers, a perfect combination for this terrible blizzard.
