The Polish Bar Fall Collection Part 3: Best Wishes

Ok, so there's something I neglected to tell you guys...  Janice of The Polish Bar is going to give away necklaces to the first 20 orders over $25.  Um.  You should definitely make sure you get to the launch early tomorrow (remember it's 10/4 at 10:00 am pacific!!!  That's 1 pm eastern!!!!) because you'll get a gorgeous necklace made from one of the polishes from the fall collection.  Here's what Janice has to say about these gorgeous necklaces

"The first 20 orders over $25 will receive one of these. Since these are very limited, I won't be offering a choice but they will feature one of five polishes: In Full Bloom, Shiny Pebbles, Rainbow Jello, Best Wishes and Candy Sprinkles."

And here's a photo of what you might get if you're fast enough to grab one!

Well now.  Doesn't that make you want to move as fast as you can to get some pretties PLUS a gorgeous necklace?  I'm sure it does.  If not, then, really?

Ok, so, let's get down to business!  The final polish I have from The Polish Bar to review is called Best Wishes.  Of course I adore the name, naturally.  Any guesses as to why?  Heh.  Ok, let's do this.

*I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.  For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy in the tab above.*

Color: White crelly base with purple, lavender, teal, and fuchsia hexes and bars.

Finish: Glitter Crème – glitter in a crème base.

Bottle / Brush: Round mini bottle – wand and brush are just long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle.  However, the fact that it’s a mini makes application a little tricky.  Requires a steady hand to apply evenly without pooling.

Opacity: Medium – achieves opacity at three coats.  I may be weird in this, but while I usually enjoy layering glitters over undies, I typically love to layer white crelly glitters over themselves.  This time isn't any different.  I love this polish layered over itself.

Glitter Application: Easy – Spreads evenly without much manipulation.

Consistency: Fluid – thin but flows easily from the brush.

Overall Ease of Application: Easy – applies well without pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding.  Spreads evenly and smoothly.

Stampability: Not tested for stamping.

Dry Time: Medium – dry to the touch with minimal smudging in 3-8 minutes.

Overall Thoughts: One of my favorite things in life is a proper white crelly glitter.  The crispness of it.  The beautiful glitters that shine so brightly and vibrantly in a white base.  What could be better?  I wager, nothing.  Best Wishes is no exception.  Application was amazing, and probably the best of the three I received from the collection.  The glitters were so easy to extract that it didn't even require the upside down method.  The soft pastels make for a great contrast to fall's normally vampy and rich colors.  The crispness of this polish could work well for winter, too, so I feel like it has a multiple personality going on here.  And because I've been enviously looking at the amazing waterfall manis from Stephanie of A Little Polish, I've decided to try one of my own using my The Polish Bar polishes!  Here, I've used Best Wishes as a base.  Then, I did the waterfall mani technique over it using Cosmic Glow, Summer Sea, and Oceanic, a special edition made for a swap, as well as Elevation Polish's Dykh-Tau from the Geo Duo set.  I probably should have chosen a base that was less loud for the delicate holos I chose to use on top, but I really wanted to see what this would look like.  What do you think?

You can purchase The Polish Bar polishes at Janice's Etsy store.  Follow her on facebook here for news and updates.  REMEMBER, these go on sale, tomorrow, October 4 at 10 am pacific!  And don't forget the possibility of receiving a gorgeous necklace if you're one of the first 20 people to order over $25!
