Once Upon A Polish: Queen of Hearts

I finally tried out one of my new indies that I had been admiring in the bottle for a very long time. It's called Queen of Hearts by Once Upon A Polish. When I saw it in her Etsy shop, I knew I had to have it. For some reason, I let it sit on my shelf for a few weeks before I finally tried it out. But let me tell you, this polish did not disappoint.



Queen of Hearts is PACKED with glitter: black, white, and gold hexes as well as big red and black hearts in a clear base. I was nervous that I would have trouble getting the bigger glitters out of the bottle. But that was not a problem.


That is just one coat of this fabulous polish over Recycle by China Glaze. I'm drooling. Look at all of that glitter!

I love this polish so much that I took lots of pictures. See the rest after the jump!

Once Upon A Polish: Dragon Spit

I have some sad news: During all of my unpacking, I broke a few nails. I had to file them all down into little nubs to make them even :( So sad! I decided that if I had to have tiny nails, I would make them extra glittery to compensate. And so I tried out another indie polish. It's called Dragon Spit by Once Upon A Polish.


Dragon Spit is a mix of blue, orange, red, purple, and pink hex glitters with red and blue bar glitters and tiny red square glitters suspended in a clear base.


It's really shiny and lovely! I decided to layer it over Flying Dragon by China Glaze, a neon purple with tiny fuchsia and blue microglitter. Then I added just one coat of Dragon Spit. The glitter was pretty easy to work with; I just needed to dab it a tiny bit to get it even.





I actually had a really hard time deciding what to layer this over! Here are some other color combos I was considering:

Overall, I was pleased with this polish! I have some other Once Upon A Polishes that I'm excited to try now. You can purchase Once Upon A Polish from their Etsy shop, which can be found here.
