Cuticle Oil - Pretty Beautiful Unlimited

 *Press Samples*


Hey loves!!
I'm back with another review for Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. This time it's for something that EVERYONE needs for their nail care routine. CUTICLE OILS!! Yes, cuticle oils.
Cuticle oils are very important in making sure your cuticles (and nails!) stay healthy and looking great. I try to use cuticle oil at least 2 or 3 times a day and I may have cuticle oil in my car, purse, and nightstand.
I'll show you my before picture first. I started a new job a while back and I really slacked on taking care of my cuticles and nails. I had breaks, dry and peeling cuticles, and dry hands. I sometimes used lotion but had no motivation to do more. This was the result: 
*The dryness on my fingers is very hard to see due to the lighting I use*
 That's where Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Cuticle Oils came in.
Let's get started!

Starry Night Cuticle Oil
Starry Night is a light blend of grape, peach, and plum with sparkling citrus, rose and musk. 
This is definitely my favorite of the two I received. It has a sweet smell and isn't too overpowering. I'm sometimes afraid to try new products like this because some strong smells can give me a headache. This one did not. This cuticle oil has a brush applicator, similar to a nail polish brush, and is one of my favorite types of applicators. I find it very easy to apply oil but I do suggest you apply this while having a flat surface handy because it can get hard to hold the bottle once you have oil on your fingers.

Lemon Cilantro
Lemon Cilantro is a light blend of lemon and cilantro with hints of fresh cut grass and green tea.
This scent wasn't much of a favorite but I did like that it wasn't overpowering and I couldn't smell it much when I wore it. I have always been one to carry cuticle oil in my purse, normally just rolling around everywhere, and my biggest fear is to have it leak or spill. I decided to give it a try with this one. I'm happy to say I've successfully had this bottle in my purse for 2 weeks with no issue. Major plus for me. 


So there you have it loves! 
Two of the seven Cuticle Oils from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. You can find all seven scents on the Pretty Beautiful Unlimited website by clicking here.

BUT WAIT!!!
I showed you my before picture but didn't show you the after.
After a week and a half of using Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Cuticle Oil this was the result:
 I was very surprised by how fast I noticed the improvement of my cuticles. I've also had less breaks and my nails look healthy for once. I used the cuticle oil everyday for a week and a half and applied it at least twice a day. My usage didn't drain my bottles either so a little really does go along way.

This is my before and after pictures together allowing for a better look at the improvement.
 What do you think?
Can you notice a difference in my before and after pictures?

Until next time!

Mardi Gras Madness Trio - Pretty Beautiful Unlimited.

 *Press Samples*


Hey loves!!
I'm back with another review of Pretty Beautiful Unlimited polishes! I know, I know. Now you'll have to place another order. It's ok though, we don't judge.
I'm so pumped to show you guys these new polishes that released last weekend. This trio is full of glitter, flakies, holo and multichrome, which I know EVERYONE loves. Want to see a sneak peek?


 
These polishes are incredible and if you keep reading you'll see just how amazing they are. 

Let's get started!
 I love the color of these polishes and they definitely surprised me as to how much more amazing they were on.

Glitzy Jazz
 Glitzy Jazz is a white based crelly full of UCC flakies that shift pink to purple to blue to gold. This polish also has gold, purple, and green glitters in various sizes.


I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
This formula was perfect and was easy to work with. Coats dried pretty fast and it layered beautifully. I feel like this polish gives the look of broken gem pieces in a bottle. This is also a big favorite of mine and I will be using this well into spring. 

I have on three coats plus matte top coat.
 I can't seem to put down the matte top coat and I'm glad. I feel like matte just adds extra umph to a polish and it really does change the look of the polish. This polish looks so creamy with the matte top coat. I love it.
 
The Big Easy
 The Big Easy is a bright green holo full of chameleon flakies that shift green to orange to gold, and iridescent chameleon glitters in various sizes.
 I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
This green holo is BEAUTIFUL!! I never thought I would like wearing green but I absolutely love this. and it only gets better from this. Just wait and see.
The formula on this was perfection and I was able to do a full mani without needing any clean up afterwards. The iridescent glitters make this polish even more amazing. The way the glitters pop when the sun hits them is unbelievable.

I have on three coats plus matte top coat.
Do you see that magic? Do you see it? I mean this polish looks phenomenal matted and you can just see the flakie goodness in the macro. What more can anyone ask for?
Did you see the bottle in both of the full mani pictures? You can see the shift and it's like the polish is calling to you... BUY ME!!
This is for sure my favorite of the three. Hands down.

Same mani shown here with three coats and high shine quick dry top coat. Stamping was done with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I couldn't think of a better stamp than the Fleur-de-lis for this polish.

Voodoo Magic 2.0
Voodoo Magic 2.0 is a black holo base with ultra-chameleon chrome pigment that shifts blue to purple to cyan to green and UCC flakies that shift gold to silver to bronze and green to cyan to blue to purple.
 I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
 I've recently found love in all things duo and multi chrome and this polish definitely falls under that catagory. The shift in this polish is amazing. I couldn't stop staring at my nails throughout the day because depending on the lighting it looks different. Formula was perfect on this polish as well so I didn't have to do any clean up afterwards.
 I have on three coats plus matte top coat.
 You are still able to see a little bit of a shift when the polish is matte but the flakies in it are definitely more visible. I love this polish both ways and can see me wearing it for different occasions. 
 
So there you have it loves! The Mardi Gras Madness Trio from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. The trio is available in full and mini sizes on the site. You can find them here.

Which one was your favorite polish from the trio and why?

Until next time!

Romantic Rendezvous Trio - Pretty Beautiful Unlimited

 *Press Samples*


Hey loves!!
I've been a little MIA recently and I've missed you! Things have been a little hectic with my new job and trying to juggle my day to day things but I'm getting back into the swing of things finally and should be posting more regularly.
I'm so excited to show you guys these new polishes from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited that released yesterday just in time for Valentine's Day. It's full of glitter, flakies, and holo which I know EVERYONE loves. How about a sneak peek?
 
Beautiful aren't they? I know. I know. I'm a tease. Keep reading and I promise you'll get to see these babies in their full glory. I have so much to show you. So let's get started.

I know I say this all the time BUT these polishes are stunning.
Crelly & Holo & Flakies, Oh My!!

Goodnight Kiss 
Goodnight Kiss is an off white (pale pink in my opinion) crelly base full of red to gold shifting pigment, UCC flakies that shift from copper to gold to fuchsia, and glitters in red, gold, and pink in various sizes.
 
I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
This crelly was a tad bit on the thicker side, and I mean like a hair thicker, but was still very easy to work with. There was no dragging after each coat and the glitters were extremely easy to work with. This polish is opaque in two coats so three coats isn't necessary, just a habit of mine.

 
I have on three coats plus matte top coat.
I'm a sucker for matte crellies but I feel this polish looks amazing with a shiny top coat. The matte top coat does bring out the goodies in this polish more so that you can see what all is mixed into it.

Same mani shown here with three coats and high shine quick dry top coat. Stamping was done with Bliss Polish Strawberry and Cherry. Simple hearts for such a fun polish. This would be a perfect mani for Valentine's day or even date night.

Ravishing Beauty
Ravishing Beauty is a purple leaning pink holo base with chameleon pigment that shifts from green to blue to purple to pink, and iridescent chameleon glitters in various sizes.
I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
This polish is very pretty but personally not one I would wear normally. It is very delicate looking and the glitter and holo in this are definitely eye catching. Polish dried pretty quick between coats and the glitters weren't difficult.
Again, this polish is opaque in two coats, but three coats is a preference of mine.
I have on three coats plus matte top coat. 
GAME CHANGER! Like I said previously, I wouldn't normally wear this shade BUT seeing this polish matte sold it. I feel like it looks like a completely new polish. You can see the iridescent chameleon glitters and I love it. I'll rock this polish matte any day. 
Same mani shown here with three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat. Stamping was done with Bliss Polish Cherry. Aren't those chicks adorable? You can see the love is in the air. Doves and flowers are Valentine's Day related right? I tried.... The red and pink combo is classic though and I love the stamping. 

Romantic Embrace
Romantic Embrace is a red holo base with red and gold holo micro flakies, and UCC flakies that shift from gold to silver.
I have on three coats plus high shine quick dry top coat.
This is an absolutely beautiful polish. I love the berry red color it has and those flakies are to die for! I want to just wear this every single day. The formula was a dream and the flakies went on smooth as butter. Dry time between coats was fast and DO YOU SEE THOSE FLAKIES!! I can't stop staring at them and it only gets better from here. DRUM ROLL!!!
I have on three coats plus matte top coat.
Let me start by saying that this polish matte is life. Do you see those gold flakies? This polish is to die for. Matte or shiny, I'm in love. If I were to recommend a polish from the trio it would be, hands down, this one. Do you agree?
 Same mani shown here with three coats and high shine quick dry top coat. Stamping was done using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I love the way the black looks with this polish and again those flakies are killing me. The berry red, gold, and black combo is a great one and I can see this mani being a new favorite.


So there you have it dolls! The Romantic Rendezvous Trio from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. The trio is available in full and mini sizes on the site. You can find them here.

Which one was your personal favorite and why?
