Shinespark Polish Review

Suitable name for the brand.  I am impressed w/ these quality polishes :-) They're handmade, vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free & carcinogen-free - which is VERY important as they do not form/cause cancer! Why use cancer-causing mainstream nail polishes when there's much safer alternatives/options out there like Shinespark? Makes no sense to me.  But anyways, these polishes do come in several different colors for you to choose from (neon, holographic, marvel duos, multichrome, or glitter bomb).  They're packed w/ glitter/shine, metallics and can be worn alone or layered over another color/polish (as a topper), whichever you prefer at the moment!

Below are a few of my favs from this brand thus far:

Rose Gold: My new favorite/go-to at the moment.  Beautiful rose gold finish! Just one application is good enough for my liking, though it says you can apply up to 3 times I believe! (Using less coats = Long-lasting polish).  It works better on me than most glitter nail polishes I have tried in the past.  No clumps, chunks or chips.  I forgot to use the clear coat w/ it, but it went on evenly & smoothly alone/by itself.  It lasted me for quite some time now, which is a plus! (But I do think it depends on how much you use your hands) As for whether it dries quickly or not, I do not know.  I have been using this nail polish drying hack: running wet nails under cold water to instantly dry them, so I can't give you an answer on that.  It's a perfect hack for when you're in a rush! It helps you get out the door faster! I suggest you try it out yourself to save a little time.  Shinespark Rose Gold polish looks elegant and is a feminine touch of festive sparkle to add during the fall/winter season.  It's 1 way to accessorize your outfits  The sparkly rose gold/copper metallic specks/flakies works well with ordinary plain, neutral colors! It really transforms your look without going too overboard.  Left this one on for more than I should have.  A unique shade for sure!

Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron: If you're like me and like anything galaxy related, you just might like Shinespark Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron nail polish! Pretty much galaxy on your fingertips.  A color shifting polish that changes depending on the light, angle or the way your fingers/toes are positioned.  The multi-dimensional colors are well-pigmented and may appear/look red, fuschia/purple, orange or blue.  In the sunlight, they're glittery & shimmery.  Def. fun to gaze at! Site mentions to use a black polish as a base coat 1st but I have tried it solo using 2 coats only & that works too! Unlike the Rose Gold one, this Multichrome Galaxy Cauldron comes up strongly on the 2nd stroke/application rather than the first try (as it looks kind of sheer).  So far it's been more than a week, & this polish has stayed on well! The shine is still there and all.  Typically, regular nail polish would last me about 3 days max, but this one seems to hold up.  Irridescent, foiled, sparkles/shimmers throughout...a fun color to work with!

Sagittarius Galaxy: Yet another multichrome finish! This color is a little more deep/dramatic & robust in comparison to the other Shinespark polishes I mentioned above, which sets it apart.  Purple being one of my favorite colors, I had to alternate between the other two.  It's 1 of 5 polishes that are part of the Galaxy Holo Flake collection.  Perfect for the fall time! What's unique about this one is that the tiny glitter bits look like stars against the dark night sky.  It turns different colors (pink, red, orange & gold) at different angles/lighting.  Good coverage! A cool, beautiful effect w/ little effort!

Overall, I personally prefer these polishes over the ones offered at the salon! There is no need for base colors, making my nail routine quick & easy.

P.S. Nail polishes were packaged up nicely & color descriptions are accurate!

Cons:

-Obviously must like sparkles/shine/glitter lol, otherwise this is not for you
