BB Couture Pastel Bunnies Collection

The newest collection from BB Couture for Spring is called Pastel Bunnies, a selection of six pastel shades. They're all have cutie names and great formulas. Reminds me that the Easter season is right on the horizon and yummy candy starts showing up in stores! I'm a Peeps marshmallow-aholic y'all.

First up is Bunny Bum, which might be the most adorable polish name I've ever heard. It's a soft peachy pinky pale orange creme with super subtle shimmer. This has a pretty good formula, a tad patchy. This is two coats.

Bunny Love is a beautiful cool lavender creme. The formula is pretty perfect and went on like a dream. I adore this one, beautiful color. This is two coats.

This one is called Cotton Tail and it's a fabulous shade of bright pastel green. Another great formula, two coats. I might end up wearing this as my green on St. Patrick's Day!

Snow Bunny is a sticky sweet slightly dusty pale pink. This one was a little patchy but not terrible. I think the name is perfect. I could see a bunny wearing a snowsuit this color and going for a ski run haha. Two coats.

I fell in love with this color as soon as I saw it. Honey Bunny is a milky pale yellow with hidden shimmer. Almost a lemon chiffon type of yellow. This reminds me of one of BB's glitters, Pina Colada, but without the glitter. It's quite thin and a bit patchy but I didn't even care. This is four coats.

And last is Bunny Boo Boo, another darling name haha. It's a pale yet deep pastel violet with shimmer that is a little more perceptible than the rest of the shades have. This formula is top shelf, really buttery. This is two coats.

I know doing pastels for Spring sounds a little predictable, and that may be true, but I have never been a slave to trends or seasonal colors. I just wear what I like! I enjoy all these shades, my favorites would be Honey Bunny and Bunny Love. You can buy BB Couture nail polish at their website or from Overall Beauty for $10.95 each. What do you think of these bunny babies?

Lynnderella - Magic Fairy Stars

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been more than a couple days since I last updated. I was a little under the weather and the weather has sucked big time so I haven't been able to do any decent swatching! Today I am showing you a special polish that I just added to my collection. It's called Magic Fairy Stars by Lynnderella. This polish was made last year for a Hurricane Relief charity fund and I am so excited to have it! It's so beautiful.

It's quite complex, like most Lynn's, made up primarily of lavender and light aqua metallic glitters, some holo, some iridescent, some large moon shapes and some silver stars. I love the moons and stars the most, so cute! This might be my favorite Lynn yet! These swatches show two coats over white creme Cult Nails Tempest.

China Glaze Glitz Bitz 'N Pieces Collection

China Glaze has recently put out a collection of six glitter topper polishes in a collection called Glitz Bitz 'N Pieces. They all contain small black glitters, black hexes, black string glitter, and a solid metallic colored small glitter and hexes in varying sizes in a clear base. Very fun and totally in the groove of polish trends these days.

Glitz 'N Pieces is a silver and black mix of glitters. I used three coats over white creme Cult Nails Tempest for this swatch.

Mosaic Madness has bright blue glitter along with the black bits. I love this vibrant sapphire! This is one coat over pale blue creme Zoya Blu.

This is Graffiti Glitter, a green and black combo. I used two coats over pale green creme Zoya Neely.

Scattered & Tattered has beautiful pink red glitter in with the black glitter. This is two coats over pink shimmer Zoya GeiGei.

Razzle Me, Dazzle Me has colored glitter that is supposed to be pink, but to me it looks almost a light brown shade. They can look more pink or tan depending on the light. This is two coats over magnolia creme Zoya Jacqueline.

And last is Bling It On, an indigo purple and black mix. I used one coat over lavender shimmer Zoya Julie.

These were all very dense and rather dry but, I honestly LOVED the formula! It allowed me to place the glitter a little better than clear base formulas that are too liquidy, where the glitters just slide around. I did use topcoat on all these swatches, they do need it for smoothness and shine. The entire bunch are winners for me, but my favorite is probably the red/pink combo I swatched here with Scattered & Tattered.

You can find these at Sally Beauty Supply and at various online retailers. What do you think of this collection? Are you planning on picking any of them up for your own collection?
