Post Exam Polish Haul!

YAY for new polish!

As you all know I have just finished with all my papers and exams, and to celebrate I went on a little post exam polish haul! Or well, two little hauls to be exact. 

First up, my little Claire's haul! I got Beach and Disco. Beach is a neon yellow. Disco looks absolutely that: disco! It's an amazingly holographical polish filled with bar glitter, jum!

And I also got a cuticle cream from Sally Hansen, which works so well! I've been using it for about a week now and I totally notice a difference from my old cuticle cream (from Herôme). The only downside is that the Sally Hansen one smells very artificial, like orange candy, but I quite like that :)

 Here's Disco, to show off all the holographic sparkles:

I also got Tropink from the Maybelline Bleached Neon collection - I also wanted the coral one but it wasn't in the shop sadly. So I picked up another coral Maybelline polish called Corals Up.

I got Essie's Urban Jungle because I needed a good off-white, and a blue "Jeans Look" polish from 2B.

I also got a matte top coat from Claire's (I couldn't find a matte top coat anywhere else! Is matte out or something?) and a fast drying top coat from Only You.

And finally, I picked up a very pretty blue polish with green shimmer in it called Holiday (I have no idea how the name connects to the shade) and a sort of dusty pink polish from Only You called Love Afair - I find the colour a bit hard to describe but I found it very interesting :)

And to finish this post, I quickly swatched my Jeans Look polish for you! I was really curious of how it looked. To my own surprise, it's a textured polish! Which isn't indicated anywhere on the bottle - I'm not the only one who feels this sort of information should be stated somewhere on the bottle, right? Anyway, a textured blue polish then!

It's a nice polish, I used two easy coats here. I can see how it has a jeans look, although it doesn't resemble jeans entirely. It's also a different sort of textured polish from the OPI's liquid sands: instead of a liquid sand effect, this one looked and felt more like I put sugar in my polish - the texture was less "textured", to use as vague a description as possible. It dries sort of matte, although there are some shimmers and sparkles here and there.

I then put a shiny top coat on top, to see how it looked - I toooootally prefer the non-shiny look. With shine, I think the texture just looks odd.

That was my Jeans polish then :) How do you like it? And do you like my haul? Which polish would be your favourite?
