Hello Lovelies! I'm back! I had some computer issues, but my brilliant hubby managed to find the problem and I am now able to upload pics in less than 8 hours again. I guess I need to learn to move files off my mac and onto my external drive since 8 billion nail photos will apparently slow my computer down in a big way.
Since I was MIA yesterday, I'm working on 2 posts for today. Hopefully my schedule complies! Post number 2 will be an evening post for sure, but I'm determined to get it done.
As you all know, Polish TBH has created an amazing fall collection. Inspired by Harry Potter, this 6 polish collection is aptly named Diagon Alley. Today I have another awesome polish from this collection to share.
Chocolate Frogs. Only in the Hogwart's Universe could there ever be a chocolate that not only looks like a frog, but acts like one too. If you happen to be living under a rock and have yet to see a chocolate frog, check out this short video that I stumbled across on You Tube. Credit to Cheekonyourface for the video.
I dunno about you guys, but I don't like having to chase my chocolate. Although you may be able to train these to just jump into your mouth. But onto the polish!
Chocolate Frogs, the polish, is a gorgeous shimmery Chocolate Brown with Gold, Copper, Navy Blue and Sea Green glitters in various shapes and sizes. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not usually drawn to Browns (they make me look very pink), but this polish is just too gorgeous. It's a bit of a chameleon as well, shifting from a deep, Chocolate Brown to a shimmery Copper Brown in different lighting conditions. You'll see what I mean below!
This is 2 coats of Chocolate Frogs, with top coat:
Beautiful, right? But wait! There's more! How about a macro shot so we can ooooh and ahhhh at that shimmery base and those fabulous glitters?
Yeah, I am really digging this polish. The Navy Blue glitters combined with the Chocolate Brown base and those lovely Gold glitters really make this for me. And do I see a touch of iridescent glitter in there? Hmmmm... Toss is some Sea Foam Green for added color and voila! Instant win. Plus, it makes me a touch hungry. I may need to run out and grab some chocolate.
Chocolate Frogs' formula is stellar, which is right on par with my expectations. It's from polish TBH - I've yet to be let down with any Polish TBH pretty. There is a LOT of glitter in this girl, so it may appear thick when you first pull the brush out, but do not be fooled! There is no need for thinner. Application was fabulous as well with no dragging, balding, or glitter clumps. In fact, Chocolate Frogs applies quite smoothly. Dry time was great, and CF dries smooth so need need for anything other than your regular top coat. I will mention that if you wrap your tips with this, you will need to wrap on every coat, since you'll need to wipe all that glitter off the brush. Small price to pay for such an epic polish!
Having said that, I have to mention that this mani did not want to live. This is actually my second swatch of Chocolate Frogs since I managed to keep whacking my middle finger on my polish table. In fact, I whacked it with this swatch as well, but decided that it wasn't that obvious since it's at the tip and pushed on. You'd think I would be aware of that darn table by now, right?
The Diagon Alley Collection pre-order is already closed, but this collection will be available at Polish TBH on Big Cartel on 8/31. Be sure to check out Polish TBH on Facebook and Instagram for release information, swatches, promotions, etc.
What are your thoughts on Chocolate Frogs?
I'll be back this evening with some Cinema Swatch Lacquers!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
