CCNP's Sunshine LE Duo

 Press Sample / Contest Prize 

Hi guys! Today I bring you swatches of the Sunshine Limited Edition Duo from Creative Cuticles Nail Polish. The duo is inspired by the sunrise and sunset. They'll be released on July 30th at 11 AM EST, and there will only be 6 duos available for sale. So if you're interested in purchasing them, you'll have to act fast. Now let's get to the swatches, shall we?
First up is Sunrise, a bright yellow crelly full of a variety of glitter. It has tiny yellow matte glitter, lavender holo shards, rose gold holo hexes, and matte peach/light pink/purple hexes. The larger glitter is a bit tougher to come across, so I'd recommend turning the bottle upside down for a few minutes before using. That way you don't have to fish so much for the glitter. I had no trouble with the formula, it went on nicely. I did 4 coats to make sure it'd be opaque, but I think 3 coats would've been enough, it all depends on preference. By the way, the polish is more yellow in real life than what the pictures show. You don't know how difficult it was to photograph this swatch. I was very frustrated and sad that I couldn't capture the actual color.

Next is Sunset, a beautiful bright coral orange jelly with tiny yellow matte glitter and blue/orange hexes. I had no need to fish for glitter with this polish. Also, the formula on this one was wonderful, it went on so smoothly. I applied 3 coats for opacity.

So what do you guys think? Which one is your favorite of the 2? Mine would have to be Sunset, I just love the color and the fact that it's a jelly polish. This was my first time trying out this indie brand, and I have to say it's made a good first impression. Hopefully I'll be able to purchase some polishes from Kayla in the near future. By the way, I've linked her store and social medias down below if you're interested.

    1. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. You did a wonderful job on these polishes Kayla.
      Oh I was going to say, Sunset was perfect with the glitter. Lol. Also, I loved the rose gold hexes in Sunrise, maybe a bit more would've been nice, I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it though. Either way, it's still a pretty polish.
