Twinsie Tuesday: Sparkle 2/28

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

Sparkle is basically my favorite thing ever so this was an easy prompt.

Formula X is exiting Sephora's so I've managed to purchase a few at the $5 clearance price in the last several weeks. This was one, Artemis.

Artemis is a silver holographic polish. This was 3 coats. Super super sparkly and lovely.

I'm so bummed that Formula X is going away. I have liked all of the polishes that I've tried from this brand. What are some of your favorites from Formula X?

Formula X #SystemAddict

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have the Formula X #SystemAddict system from Influenster to share with you.

There are 4 steps to the System Addict system, beginning with the Cleanse XCEL. "Start your mani with a clean slate, and instantly prep the surface of nails for optimal polish application. Specifically formulated to be used as Step 1 of Formula X's gel-like mani set, The System XCEL™, this nail cleanser is the essential salon product. CLEANSE XCEL's exclusive flash-dry formula gently removes invisible oil and residue from the nail in an instant, giving the nail surface the ultimate canvas for polish application and adherence. Featuring Formula X's redesigned Xpert Strokes™ Brush for a faster, smoother application, CLEANSE XCEL is infused with witch hazel extract to purify the nail surface, and a fusion of cucumber extract and safflower seed oil to help condition the nail bed while leaving nails completely dry to the touch."

Prime XCEL is the base coat. "Prep, protect, and help polish stick. This multitasking base coat primes nails for the ultimate long-lasting mani. Specifically formulated to be used as the second step of Formula X's gel-like mani set The System XCEL™, PRIME XCEL is formulated with advanced bonding agents and keratin to form a sticky layer that helps bind color to the nail, letting polish take hold stronger and longer, improving overall polish performance. With Formula X's innovative Xpert Strokes™ Brush, redesigned for faster, smoother application, PRIME XCEL also acts as a protective barrier, standing between you and your polish to prevent staining. "

TGIF is the color I was sent, a fun, bright coral. This was 2 coats. The formula is a bit thick but very manageable. I topped it with the Shine XCEL Top coat. "Make your mani last with a gel-like finish. Shine - Nail Top Coat is formulated to be used as Step 4 of Formula X's gel-like mani set, The System XCEL™. This advanced, acrylic-fortified top coat dries 45 percent faster than before, sealing in your nail polish color with glossy, gel-like protection so that your mani stays vibrant and shiny day after day. When used as part of The System XCEL, SHINE XCEL instantly elevates any Formula X nail color with the ultimate high shine and cushion-like volume of gel polish, just by layering, for up to 10 days of wear. It includes Formula X's innovative, Xpert Strokes™ Brush, redesigned for faster, smoother application."

Formula X Ballet Barre

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

A quick NOTD using a polish I recently purchased from the clearance section of Sephora. This is Formula X Ballet Barre, a silvery gunmetal metallic polish. I don't have a ton of colors like this and I was intrigued.

This was two coats plus topcoat and the bumps on my pointer and ring finger are on my nail and no fault of the polish!

Formula X Urban Bush Babes Everdream?

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I had to buy this gorgeous evergreen polish from the Formula X and Urban Bush Babes collab.

Everdream? is a beautiful evergreen creme polish. This was opaque in two coats and while it looks almost black in pictures, it definitely looks green in person. Such a gorgeous color!! I did add topcoat.

Formula X Aphrodite

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I recently took a gander through the Sephora inside my JCPenney and picked up this new Formula X polish called Aphrodite. This is a silver, purple crazy linear holographic polish. There are 5 polishes in this line with this type of crazy holo effect and I am seriously thinking about going back to get the other 4!

This was 2 coats plus topcoat. It's a finely milled glitter so it's not chunky to apply or thick. It had a very nice formula and only needed one coat of topcoat to smooth everything out.

So beautiful! And in the sun... holy moly. Gorgeous!

Formula X for Sephora Crash

Hey guys!


Today's polish is from the Formula X by Sephora line and I picked this baby up on super clearance a few weeks ago! $2.99! Hoollllaaa!!

Crash, a bright baby blue with assorted hexes and smaller glitters. This is one coat of Firecracker Lacquer Penguin Parade.

I also layered one coat over OPI's You're So Vain-illa. I liked the blue against the nude!
