Hey guys! Today I've got the July 2017 For The Love Of Polish Box to show you! If you aren't familiar with this box it's a monthly box that includes a trio of polishes. Polished for Days and Illyrian Polish are the two permanent brands in this box and this month's guest is Tonic Polish! The theme for July is honestly one of my favorite themes for anything: the galaxy! I have to say, everyone knocked it out of the park with their contributions to this box! They're all so gorgeous! Without further adieu let's see those swatches!

Milky Way is the Polished for Days contribution and it's a bright navy base with a strong copper shimmer and red micro flakes. This polish definitely looks more purple (which suits me perfectly - give me ALL the purples!) on than navy due to the shimmer and flakies.  Application was flawless and this polish is easily opaque in two coats. I did three because that's my comfort zone, but two is quite sufficient. Shown below is three coats with a glossy top coat.

Owl Nebula is the Illyrian Polish in this box and it's a teal base with a strong teal to purple to green shift and a micro holographic sparkle. You guys... this polish is reminds me perfectly of this cover photo I used on facebook ages ago. The second photo really captures all the shifts this goes through. Application with this one was again, flawless and opaque in two coats. Like I said before, I personally prefer three because I feel it gives the color more depth. Shown below is three coats with a glossy top coat.

Quasi Stellar is the Tonic Polish contribution to this and it's a bright purple base with a strong blue to purple shifting base and holographic micro flakies. This polish really gives me an icy vibe for some reason. I think it's the glowing blue shimmer throughout it. If you're familiar with Tonic you know that Lindsey's formula tends to be a bit on the thicker side. Application was easy though, with full coverage in two coats. Shown below is three coats with a glossy top coat (Tonic Topper - it's what I used for all these and highly recommend).

Hey guys! So we're back today with a new to me brand! I've got the Potion Polish limited edition "Potion of the Month" for June to show you! If you're a lover of crellies, flakies, and/or shimmer then you're gonna love this one since it's got a little bit of all that!

Vintage is a creamy turquoise with pink to gold to green multichrome flakies and a pink to gold shifting shimmer. The formula on this one is amazing - silky smooth easy application with full opacity in two coats. This could probably be a one coater for the heavy handed. I tend to work in thinner coats though so I needed two. I did a third just for extra depth cuz y'all know how much I love that third coat. ;) Shown below is three (thin!) coats with a glossy top coat.

You can see how subtle the shimmer is in brighter lighting, it's visible in the above photo but not in your face visible. I decided to use the below photo in a darker lighting so that you could really see that shimmer pop. In the right lighting it's so amazingly gorgeous and I had to include one that really showed it off like it deserves.

So like I said earlier in the post, this is my first time trying Potion Polish and I gotta say I was definitely impressed! The formula on this was excellent and it applied so nicely. Also and this is absolutely irrelevant to the polish, but the website is super cute. The design nerd in me wholeheartedly approves. Anyway! That being said let's get down to release details:
