Epic Swatch Spam! *photo heavy*

Sorry I have been MIA for awhile! I have been slacking off a bit, so today I am going to spam you with all my mani swatches while I was away! I hope you will enjoy this massive post! (some of these photos have already been posted on my Instagram account, you can follow me there @cacanails :D)

Hits Suspiro over Essie Smooth Sailing - a periwinkle jelly base with blue, pink, purple and silver glitters

Sonama Nail Art Custom Polish - three coats. A beige pink milky base with silver, pink and green square and hex glitters 

Innisfree #105 over Zoya Neeka - #105 is a clear base polish with matte white hex/bar/square glitters, along with rose gold and copper hex glitters

Innisfree #111 over OPI I Don't Give A Rottendam. #111 is a clear base polish with matte black and white bar/square/hex glitters, sprinkled with the random pink hex glitters.



Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie - I might be crucified by the polish world for saying this, but I don't particularly love this much coveted polish. Yes, the shimmer is pretty, but there is something about the shade that just doesn't look right to me

Girly Bits Visions of Sugar Plum over Zoya Tru. The undie choice is a fail, I tried to find something that is similar to the base color of VoSP, but it turns out Tru is much darker. Nevertheless, VoSP is a lovely jelly berry packed with pink, silver, orange and blue glitters 


Enchanted Polish Awesomeness with OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous as French tips. Awesomeness is a metallic purple holo. I apologize for the poor quality of the swatch, I just cannot capture the true awesomeness (pardon the intended pun) of this polish and holo to save my life! 





Last but certainly not least, we have Enchanted Polish Witchful Thinking. A clear base polish packed with dusty rose glitters and micro holographic glitters, Witchful Thinking is definitely as enchanting as it could be! Here it is layered over Zoya Pinta

Indie on Steroid: Innisfree #109 Cassiopeia

Innisfree #109 Cassiopeia - one coat over Zoya Malia, with SV top coat


The bf has recently visited Seoul for a Stag party (yes, that is how they roll), and of course I asked him to bring me back loads of Korea polishes! Amongst all the pretties, Innisfree #109 Cassiopeia is the first one that called to me most, and it certainly did not disappoint! A white version of the famous Lynnderella's Connect the Dots (click here to see my CTD post), Cassiopeia has added sporadic lilac and sheer blue glitters to make it the most unique matte white glitter polish I have ever seen! I love it to bits!





Can you spot the lilac and sheer blue glitters?


#109 Cassiopeia is from the Innisfree Star Sign Collection, and unlike many of its Asain polish counterparts, this polish has a name, and a very apt one at that! For those of you who don't know what Cassiopeia is, it is "a constellation in the northern sky, named after the vain queen Cassiopeia in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivalled beauty". I am certainly in awe of of Innisfree's version of Cassiopeia, are you?

Review: Innisfree Milky Glitter Collection

Hello my dear readers, today I bring you the Innisfree Milky Glitter Collection (note: I named this collection myself because all information I could find about Innisfree is in Korean unfortunately). Glitter polish is all the rage in the polish world right now (thanks to all the Indie polish out there!), and I am glad that Innisfree has jumped onto the bandwagon, because it is cheaper and more accessible for me :)

Innisfree Milky Glitter Collection

The Milky Glitter Collection actually comes in five polish, but I didn't get the yellow one (#82) because yellow and I just don't go together. I decided to do half skittle swatches so you could compare the difference between similar shades.


Pointy and middle finger: #85 - a very soft lilac pink milky creme with tiny silver glitters, and pink and blue hex glitters

Ring and pinky finger: #81 - a candy pink milky creme with tiny silver glitters, and pink and blue hex glitters


Pointy and middle finger: #83 - a  pastel green milky creme with tiny silver glitters, and pink and blue hex glitters (my camera makes it looks more yellow than it is in real life. The actual color is what you see from the bottle shot)

Ring and pinky finger: #84 - a baby blue milky creme with tiny silver glitters, and pink and blue hex glitters


The formula of this collection is a little bit on the sheer side, but that is what you'd expect with milky polish. I did three coats each with no top coat, and I have no trouble with getting the glitters to spread evenly. I am not the biggest glitter fan out there, but I must say I am quite fond of this collection! I love all color pastel, and I love how the different shades complement each other. 

My favorites are the soft lilac pink (#85) and baby blue (#84), they just suit my skintone more than the others. Which one is your pick?


Innisfree is a Korean cosmetic brand, and their polish is eco-friendly and 3-free. You may be able to find these polish on eBay or GMarket.
