Perfect Summer Gel Polish Starter Kit



Hello, beauties!

I've got another gel polish set to share. Today, it's the Perfect Summer Gel Polish Starter Kit. It includes six polishes, base and top coats, an emery board, two pots of nail charms, and a 3W handheld LED lamp. Everything you need is in the box. The colors look ordinary, at first glance, but a closer look reveals all sorts of sparkle. Like the last Perfect Summer set, these colors are identified by number. Now, on to the new pretties. 

This is 149, a juicy berry color with gold microglitter. 




150 is a warm peach with gold microglitter. 



Number 154 is silver microglitter in a blackened base. 



189 is fuchsia with blue shimmer. 



192 is baby pink with gold microglitter. 



207 is a super sheer off-white with pink shimmer. 



Each photo shows two thin coats, except 192, which required an extra coat to even out. It was like any other pink pastel, a little streaky. Some of these polishes are on the thicker side, but all are very workable, and I didn't have any problems laying down thin coats. 

I have a hard time picking a favorite from this set; I love all the bling. Overall, I think this is a great set. The polishes are unique but wearable. I'll continue to use my own LED lamp on a regular basis, but this small one is ideal for travel, or for intricate nail art that requires curing one nail at a time. 

If you like any of these colors, you can find them and much more here. 

Which color is your favorite?

Perfect Summer 8-piece set #12



Hello, beauties! 

Recently, I got the opportunity to review a few gel polish sets by Perfect Summer. Today, I wanted to share their starter kit number 12. The kit conveniently comes with top and base coats. They're all pretty similar in formula, and I'll share my thoughts at the end. Now, on to the swatches. 

First up is 80, a pale, pastel pink. 



This is 81, a warm camel color. 


82 is a bright red. 


Here's 83, a cloud gray. 


This is 93, a dusty rose. 


Last up is 94, a vampy raisin. 


These polishes, including the top and base coats, have an excellent formula, overall, and I only had an issue with one. They're thin without being runny, and best of all, no pooling. All except one of my swatches show two thin coats. Number 80 was the only problem child of the bunch, and the first coat went on much like a regular pastel polish would, somewhat streaky. I ended up applying three thin coats. 

These all cure to a super high shine, and even after four days, they're still glossy and show minimal tip wear. Removal was easier for some than others, and a couple required an extra few minutes of soaking. Overall, though, I was pleased with the colors and formula. My favorite is 94, and I love it for fall. If you'd like to find out more, you can find this and other pretty sets here.
