Talk about being excited. Today I have some of the most fabulous polishes to show you from the sweetest indie maker I know, Heather, from Heather's Hues.
Skinnydipping is a rich sand colored cream polish. For this manicure I used two thin coats of Skinnydipping and topped it with a heavy coat of HK Girl Top Coat. The stamps on my index and ring finger are from Winstonia Plate W106. I free hand drew the lines for the beach towel that is on my middle finger.
I am obsessed with this shade. It is perfect alone or with a topper to achieve a beachy, summer look. Also, in the sun, the shimmer on this polish is breathtaking. I love how it's a nude shade without actually being too nude that it just blends in!

I definitely am going to use Skinnydipping again in the future, but maybe with some blue, water-esque glitter? Oh, the creativity is just flying!!
Next up I have my favorite polish out of every collection that Heather has made, Pretty Pretty Princess. This polish was named after Princess Diana and it definitely lives up to its beautiful namesake.
For this manicure I started with a base of OPI You're Such a Budapest. Then I layered two generous coats of Pretty Pretty Princess by Heather's Hues. This polish could definitely be worn alone with three coats, but I like how it looks with a base color. I finished with a top coat of HK Girl Top Coat.
I love this glitter topper so much. At first, it reminded me of the Lakers, but when I actually painted it, the polish took on a whole other look. I love the fact that there are so many different sized and shaped pieces of glitter. There are small round pieces of glitter, shards, and hexagons. I barely had to shake the polish and I had to do zero fishing. Overall, I not only love the shade and texture of this polish but damn does this woman know how to make a glitter polish!!

Like I was beyond shocked when I started photographing because I had no issues! In this macro you can truly see how gorgeous this polish is, but also how complex the glitter is as well!

Now since I am obsessed with this polish, and the glitter was being a bit of brat (too shiny!), I knew I had to matte this and see if it was possible to make this polish even more beautiful!
It's possible. :D I can't tell if I like it better matte or glossy. Either way, I want to use it everyday. Matte, you can definitely see the detailing more without the glitter washing out. I used one coat of Hard Candy Matte Nail Polish.
