Chic Nail Colors: Summer Love Collection Swatches and Review

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for so long. I've been so busy with work. It was my very first job ever and i didn't find a right time to do blogging and my paint my nails. Anyways, today i have a review and swatches about the Chic Nail Color Summer Love Collection. This collection has 5 bottles of 10ml nail polish. Each bottle of polish costs Php35.00 which is equivalent to $0.72, very affordable, right? Anyways, Go to my channel if you want to see how i swatch it live, link ➡ Youtube : JNC Nailart, or follow me in my instagram account, link ➡ IG@Jnc_nailart. But if you want to know more about this collection, please continue reading! πŸ’…πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜˜


L-R : CottonCandy, Bubblegum, GummyBear, JellyBean, Lollipop
First polish is called Cotton Candy, this polish has a light rosie-y shade with gold and silver glitters on it. The formula is good, i get the coverage i want with just two coats of it. Cotton candy is in the edge of being a textured polish and dries into a semi matte finish.

Second polish is Bubblegum, a light shade of blue like the color of sky during sunny days! This polish has a silver shimmer running through it. I really love how elegant this polish looks in my hands. Got the opacity i want with just two coats.

Next is Gummy Bear, a very bright lime green. This one is a bit sheer but with three coats you're good to go. I love how vibrant this polish is, it gives me the warm and happy feeling of summer.

Next is Jelly Bean, a very beautiful salmon pink shade with just a good amount of holographic glitters in it. This polish is sheer but got a good coverage with three coats. It gives you a very feminine and cute look.

And finally is Lollipop, an intense navy blue creme polish. Opaque with just two coats. This polish would be perfect for a nautical inspired nails. Formula is very good, got no problem with the application.

Overall my favorite in this collection is Bubblegum, i just loved how the silver shimmer gives it a very elegant vibe. And my second favorite is Gummy Bear, i'm so inloved with its vibrancy and i find it very relaxing to look at (i really don't know why but it makes me feel at ease.😁😁)

So thats it, Let me know what you think about this collection and what collection you want me to swatch and review next. πŸ˜˜πŸ˜‰

Day 2 of Glams Nail Challenge is Mirror Themed nails. Since i don't have any chrome mirror powder. I decided just to use a silver polish to just mimic the mirror effects not as good than the mirror powder though! I came up with the bloody mirror design to match it for the Halloween. 
* For my Pinky & Pointer Finger, I did a dripping blood. I just a red acrylic paint to drew it!
* For my Thumb & Ring Finger, I drew a vintage mirror. An oval one for the ring finger & asquare shape in my thumb.
