Hello Everyone
Today's post is a review and swatches of two beautiful polishes from Ms Sparkle which is an indie brand from the Netherlands.
The lovely Simone owns this awesome indie brand and she sent me It's A Girl! and It's A Boy! to review and swatch for her. Simone is one of the busiest women I know! She is a youth worker plus she's studying to get a teachers degree, she's a graffiti artists (so cool!), makes awesome polishes and on top of that she's a mom to two beautiful kids! Despite being so busy, she always has time to chat and is one of the sweetest, most friendly people I have met on Instagram.
Simone's polishes are all 5-free and vegan which are both important to me. She does ship internationally so you can get your dose of her beauties where ever you are in the world. She has tons of beautiful polishes for sale as well as glitter mixes and nail art accessories like bows, roses and stars. She also makes custom polishes so if you cant find what you want in her store, chat to her and she'll make it up for you. You can visit her Etsy store here to purchase her awesome products.
First off these polishes arrived in such pretty packaging! I love when products are packaged nicely, it makes receiving them and opening them so much more exciting and it also shows that the maker takes pride in their work and cares enough to take the time to wrap their products nicely.
Now for the swatches!!
It's A Girl!
It's A Girl! is a pretty pastel pink polish. It has iridescent micro glitters as well as hot pink hex glitters, large pastel pink hex glitters, heart glitters in two different shades of pink and pretty gold flakes. I got full coverage in three coats but you can always add a fourth coat for good measure. I love this polish because it can be worn on it's own and looks beautiful, but it's thin enough that you could wear it over another polish, as a glitter topper, to create a different effect. I took swatches in natural light, sunlight and then a macro in the sun plus bottle shots. I applied three coats plus a top coat.

Macro shot. Look at all that beautiful shimmer and sparkle! This polish is so pretty and girly, I really loved wearing it.
It's A Boy!
It's A Boy! is a lovely pastel blue polish. Like It's A Girl! it also has a pearl effect with tons of shimmer. This polish contains tiny blue glitters, large metallic blue hex glitters, smaller pastel white hex glitters, pearl white hearts and pretty holographic silver flakes. This polish was also opaque in just 3 coats and could also be used as a glitter topper by applying just one coat over another polish. Again I did a swatch in natural light, sunlight and a macro in the sun plus bottle shots. I applied 3 coats plus a top coat for the swatches.

Both these polishes have a great consistency, they aren't thick at all and they went on very smoothly. The brush is a standard brush and allows for easy application. Both polishes are full of glitters and they are suspended well throughout the polish so I didn't have to fish for glitters at all. I love these polishes and I highly recommend them. Simone has also recently released some awesome polishes that are perfect for Halloween so visit her store and check them out.
