Smitten Polish Flurry Swatch and Review

Hi everyone, I hope you had a fantastic weekend!  This marks the beginning of my first work week back from maternity leave, but luckily I have Monday off to enjoy.  Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!  We had to go to four stores on Saturday before we finally found candles - how ridiculous that in the city the size and diversity of Los Angeles, none of the stores we went to had Hanukkah candles?  We finally found them at a Walgreens in the middle of the Jewish area, which is probably where we should have started to begin with.  Well, at least the candles have been lit and our first Hanukkah gift to LO was a stuffed dradle that plays "I Have A Little Dradle" when squeezed.  Imagine her look of surprise when the music started! 

I have another Smitten Polish today for you, and this one is called Flurry.  It's a light grey sheer crelly base that contains white matte squares, iridexcent hex, and teal microglitter.  I love the color combination of this and who can resist square glitter?  The formula was easy to apply except I kept getting polish drag from some of the glitter which made the mani appear uneven.  I would have been happy at three coats but because of the glitter drag, I used four which I think makes the mani look too thick and chunky.  Some of the glitter gets lost in the mani as well, so it's not as glittery as I'd like.  It dried a little matte so it definitely needs topcoat for shine.

This is another beautiful creation by Smitten Polish, but this time I wasn't as happy with the formula as I was with Merry & Bright.  Maybe if I can keep the layers down to three, I might like it better.  I'm not going to give up on Smitten though, the colors and combinations are just too pretty!
