Smitten Polish Hocus Pocus & Naiad

I meant to have this post up yesterday as a second post for the day, except a migraine got the best of me >_< Luckily, I am feeling much better and hopefully will have a second post up today. Really I make no promises though! :P


Hocus Pocus is a mixture of fine fuchsia holographic glitter in a bright purple jelly base. All nails are 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.
 
Clearly this polish is full of magic! ;) Glittery and amazing magic! Seriously there is nothing not to love about this polish and even though I think it would look great as a base color for another polish I'm not sure if I would want to cover it up. :P

Naiad is described as a medium aqua "crelly" base with purple shimmer. This is the lighter cousin of Sprites of Spring.  I used 3 coats with a top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.
Eeeep! I love this polish just as much I love Sprites of Spring! Sprites of Spring is darker than Naiad, so if you are looking to purchase one or the other, that's up to you. I feel justified owning both! ;) The shimmer is strong even in low light and formula is great! I did want to add that Noelie, the creator of Smitten Polish, did note on her Facebook page that both Sprites of Spring and Copper Canyon(Naiad has less of the staining pigment than Sprites of Spring does) can stain you nails. I personally didn't have a problem with any of them, but I did double up on a base coat just to be on the safe side. In case this is a problem with you Noelie offered to refund anyone that had a problem. :) Yay for awesome customer service!!


Smitten Polish can be found on Etsy. I don't see either one of these polishes stocked at this time, so make sure to follow Smitten Polish on Facebook and sign up for her newsletter for updates!
