Silly Bee's Chickadees Bring Us A Figgy Mango Cocktail and Bring Us A Figgy Mango Smoothie Reviews & Swatches

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I was able to catch up on some swatches, so hopefully my posts will be up earlier in the day rather than later. I also able to make a small tutorial about decanting polish for a friend that I will have up sometime this week.  For today though, I have a few more creations from the lovely Silly Bee's Chickadees. If you haven't found her on Facebook yet, make sure to at least check out this picture to see how ridiculously cute the labels for the upcoming Beverage Cart Collection are! 


Bring Us A Figgy Mango Cocktail has a clear base with matte lavender, purple, orange, yellow and white hexes and matte yellow squares. I used 2 coats over 2 coats of Pure Ice Monte Carlo and a top coat of Seche Vite.
Another fun mix from Silly Bee! I love the yellow glitters in this polish and how bright they pop! Formula was problem free and you definitely don't need to fish out a single piece of glitter. ;)  
I went on to add 1 coat of Pure Ice Monte Carlo over this manicure and boy did it make it look amazing! After trying this I am eager to try Orange You A Honeydew Cocktail and Melly's Mix "jellied"! 
Bring Us A Figgy Mango Smoothie is similar to the Cocktail version with the exception that it has no white hexes and is in a white base. All nails are 3 coats and a top coat of Seche Vite.
It's crazy how just a white base really softens the glitters in this mix and makes it look completely different. Instead of the yellow glitters popping out like in the cocktail version , in the smoothie version the purple glitters are the ones to stand out. Formula again great with it being quick to dry and not having to "fish" for any of the larger glitters. It does need a nice top coat to help smooth it out, but this can be done with only one coat! :)
