[Review] Addicted to Polish – Color Phase Nail Polish

Rite Aid has some pretty cool polishes nowadays. If you like to keep track there new collections, check out my Rite Aids – New Nail Polish Collections at my Addicted to Polish page! I recently bought a new polish called Colored Phase, which is super new and I can’t find it on google anywhere at all. Its super neat. Its has a polish color on one end and top coat on the other.

Color Phase Nail Polish

So I gave it a whirl and lets just say this is the funniest polish ever. We all use the regular nail polish or art polish to make designs. But who new a top coat could do the same effect! The polish itself has really awesome formula, not to watery and not to thick. Slides on your nail perfectly! Also its really easy to hold to, just kinda use it like a pencil but place a finger on the top when using the top coat to make your design! The top coat is a bit thin, then normal top coats I use! The normal polish takes a 4 minute drying period and the top coat takes about a 2-4 minute drying period. The longer the top coat sits on this set the darker it gets. This is a purple and by the time its done it looks like strawberry purple! These are found at Rite Aid for 4 bucks a set!

The top coat effect!

As you can see it’s pretty addicting! You can get creative, use the brush, dot tools, and maybe stamp plates or mini brush sets! Its easy to glide on the nail and dried in about 2-4 minutes depending on how much you use! Doing cross lines like on the thumb shown does kinda make it effect the other lines a bit odd. So maybe don’t go over the line you already made!

Using Other top coats and matte's over their top coats

Here you can see I tried using Seche, Essie Matte, and China Glaze Matte, over the other top coat and it didn’t work. It look the design I made and smeared it, even though you don’t see it happening as you put it on. The Essie Matte didn’t completely ruin the whole nail look, but took the other purple look away. So lets just say you can’t use other top coats period, with this polish.

[Review] Wet n Wild: MEGA LAST NAIL COLOR

MEGA LAST NAIL COLOR
Sophisticated, classic colors beautifully accent any look. Long-lasting, opaque color provides 5 days of chip-resistant wear. A revolutionary resin polymer system creates exceptional color adhesion to nails. This resilient polish is calcium and mineral fortified to rebalance and prevent nail discoloration. Comes with a unique, full-coverage brush that glides on smooth for one-stroke application. Toluene, phthalate, and formaldehyde free.

MEGA LAST NAIL COLOR

I bought this nail polish the other day and finally had a chance to test it out. I have to admit nail polish these days seem like same colors, same style of brushes, and more expensive. This one however  is $2.00 and is called on a trip, and the brush us different then the other brushes. This brush is a flat style brush and holds alot of polish. I was able to dip once and do one whole hand, that’s a huge improvement compared to the round brush’s. Since the brush is flat its way easy to glide on without smudging or missing edges. This polish is NEW and they only have a few different colors then the repeats of the same colors. I bought this one and the candy licious rose bonbon (pink) color, have yet to try out. I really like these pro flat brush’s they are easy and way better ever. You can find my nail polish facebook page here… I reccomend this polish as try its very quick and fast drying as well. It does however have a bit of a stronger smell then the non pro polish does.

First use any color nail art polish I mixed it up
Create on side then the other, make sure to make a curve in the middle to separate the to!
Then make a dot on the opposite colors
You can just use 2 colors for all nails or use many colors on all nails!
