Pipe Dream Polish Cha-Ching

Happy Monday everybody! Did you all have a good weekend?
I'm slowly getting ready for Christmas, my dress is bought and I kinda have my make up sorted, but I still haven't decided on my mani... the only thing I do know it's going to be sparkly!

Today I have an extremely sparkly polish to show you. Not my normal style, but so pretty <3

Pipe Dream Polish Cha-Ching is a silver micro glitter in a clear base, jam packed with holo glitter.

The formula is... not the best to be honest. Because it's so packed with finely milled micro glitter, it's a bit like putting wet sand on your nails. The fact that it dries extremely fast, doesn't help. But it is opaque on its own in just 2 coats and if you paint fast and stick to the 3 stroke method and don't fiddle this polish about too much, it's manageable.

And come on, when it looks like this on my nails, I'm not complaining!
I've been a little obsessed with this polish to be honest. I love the sparkle it gives. I only wore it as a full mani once and I'm not sure if I'll ever wear it like that again, but as an accent nail, oh boy, it spices up every mani!

In the shade you get a gorgeous grey silver nail, in low lighting it gives you the perfect sparkle, but in full (sun)light, this baby really brings it! Holotastic sparkle every time!



Out of focus, but look at that sparkle!!!

Pipe Dream Polish is available on Meimeisignatures and I thoroughly recommend you check this brand out, they have some awesome polishes, like Graffiti Tag and mcspiration I showed earlier.

What's your favorite bling bling polish?

Pipe Dream Polish Graffiti tag

On your wedding day, you wear white! Or at least it's the most traditional color to wear on that BIG day. I actually wore an off white, but still... it was white. 6 years ago today, I walked down the aisle with the love of my life. I love him even more today, so in honor of our 6 year marriage, I decided to show you a gorgeous white polish, with a little twist :D

Pipe Dream Polish Graffiti Tag is a white base packed with a neon glitter mix.

The formula is really nice, I layered it over just a single coat of white to give it a head start, but you can definitely get it opaque in 2 -3 coats. I just like it better over white, because the glitter is less dense. It flows easily on the nail and I only needed to do a little placement with the odd glitter here and there, for the most part you can just paint as usual and get a perfect result. It dries really fast and shiny, but I'd recommend using a good layer of topcoat to smooth everything out.

Isn't that gorgeous? It's bright and neon, but not in your face neon. I've worn the heck out of this polish already. I wear it as a full mani like in my pictures, but I've also worn it as an accent with other neon polishes and that looks absolutely fabulous too!

White and neon are two of my favorite colors to wear in Spring and Summer, so to have them combined in one handy bottle, is right up my alley! I own several white based glitters, but I have to say this one is one of my favorites!

What's your favorite white based glitter or do you steer clear of those kind of polishes?

Pipe Dream Polish #mcspiration

I was browsing the internet, Instagram and youtube as I like to do on a quiet Sunday morning and came across a picture of this polish. It was so gorgeous , I knew I had to have it! I went to the Pipe Dream website and of course... they don't ship internationally. So the first thing I did was hop on to my favorite indie nail polish seller, MeiMeiSignatures and low and behold... they had it! In my cart it went, with another polish and a top coat. I can't have a polish travel all that way alone, that would be cruel.

Pipe Dream Polish #Mcspiration is a medium grey polish with small black and hot pink glitters. I think the glitters are matte, but I can't really tell to be honest.

This polish is the non thermal version of Mcpolish Awesomesauce, but I have to admit I like it better this way. I don't care much for the warm color (I think it's warm, I mean the light color) of that polish and this is just medium grey gorgeousness.
The formula was really nice, it's easy to paint and the glitter lays nice and flat on the nail. This was a very opaque polish, I only needed 2 thin coats and it dried fast enough. I did decide to add a layer of topcoat, because the finish was a little less shiny than I like.

Isn't that pretty? I love a grey mani and the pink gives it a nice pop of color. I love this color and would wear it all year round, but I think most people would consider this more of a Fall or Winter polish.

This is the first Pipe Dream Polish I've tried and it left me wanting more. I already spotted several other polishes I'd like to add to my collection.
Have you heard of this brand before and if so, what is your favorite polish?
