I have a lovely Spring glitter to show off to you all today. Let me introduce you to,
Pastoral, by Cagedbird Nail Lacquer. This is a perfect combination of matte mint, white, lavender, and pastel green and silver metallic glitters in a clear base. I mentioned in a previous post that Sarah, the creator of Cagedbird Nail Lacquer, could have just named this polish 'Hayley'. I seriously don't think I could have come up with a more perfect combination if I would have customized it myself.
My love affair with Cagedbird started a few months ago when I stumbled on her
Facebook page and was in awe at the pastel glitters. She was extremely close to 500 followers at the time and I was honored to be her number 500. To my surprise, she sent me a mini bottle of polish to celebrate the milestone. It was my first (and still only) polish prize! I was beyond excited. I mentioned how in love I was with Faerie Carnival and Pastoral and a week later a mini
Faerie Carnival showed up as my prize. How thoughtful was she?!
I immediately bought Pastoral from her
Etsy store and I recommend you check out all of her creations!

To showcase this glitter, I used two coats of Sinful Colors
Mauve with one coat of
Pastoral. I know...I've already used Sinful Colors Mauve before. I didn't mean for it to happen this way, but it did. The formula in my bottle is just flawless. I had a few colors picked out to try with Pastoral and it was a tough decision. My other contenders were: Sally Hansen CSM
Ion, Zoya
Neely and Sinful Colors
Cool Gray. I will definitely be using them all with Pastoral at some point, because I think they would all look great. The only downside to using Mauve was that it made some of the lavender glitter not as noticeable on the nail. I think Sally Hansen's Ion would be a good choice to show off the seafoamy mints, lavenders and greens.
Just for fun I took this macro shot of the glitter and thought it turned out pretty!
Disclaimer: This pretty polish was purchased by me and I will be getting it again and again and again!
Beautiful glitter! It looks perfect over that base color. Nice disclaimer, too, lol :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was such a hard decision deciding what base color to use...I'm sure you're very familiar with that conundrum!! :)
DeleteLooks beautiful! It works very well with that base:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It's a very versatile glitter, the only thing about this combination is it made the lavender glitter in it not so noticeable. I loved wearing this though, I kept it on for almost an entire week. The wear was great on it!
DeleteThis looks amazing together! Love the colour combination. The glitter is super gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt really is so gorgeous! If you're a fan of pastels, like me, you need to grab this from her Etsy store!
Deletethis looks litterally like heaven. Looks like a fairie sparkle that comes out the magic wand when she makes some spells!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great description! I bet Sarah at Cagedbird would love to think of herself as a magic polished angel! I think she is with creations like this!
