Like a Dream Come True!

I blame Alison's Instagram for a lot of things.  She's responsible for my growing collection of indie polishes (just bought 20 more last night), my 'mystery' polish obsession,  and also my discovery of Gem Glam Topcoat from Dream Polish.

• Vegan & cruelty-free

Gem Glam Top Coat is available in the following scents:
Limited Edition Honey Almond ~ Lavender ~ Peach ~ Pink Sugar ~ Unscented

To date I have all but Lavender, but only because I'm actually allergic to the herb.  It's quickly became my favorite top coat not just because it's scented, which I'll talk about in a minute, but because it never smears.  It floats, which in manicure terms means that it glides off the brush onto your nail without tugging or pulling at the art.  It doesn't gloop up around glitter and it doesn't pull stamped images out of place and leaves all the fine details where they belong.  It's not thick or gel like, so if you like that super thick glass like finish, this probably isn't it.  This formula is amazing when working with multiple layers that require a top coat, such as with vinyls and stamping.  It dries quickly with a very smooth clear sharp finish.

The scents are not overwhelming, cloying, or 'fake'.  I most often use both the Peach base and top coat and it leaves a very fresh lingering scent.  It's not something that you can smell lingering around you like perfume, but more like a fresh alternative to a chemical polish scent. 

Peach: Just like the name implies, it smells like a peach.  I would say the scent is more candy than fruit, but it's my favorite.

Pink Sugar: I have to admit, I didn't realize this was a perfume, it's not all that known in Italia!  

Stylish and lively, with a distinctive personality, Pink Sugar takes you on a journey through the pleasures and flavors of childhood with a playful blend of vanilla and caramel.

Notes:
Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Licorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder.
Style:
Playful. Mischievous. Romantic.

I like it so much I ordered the perfume, as well as Gold Sugar.

Tapanga's Rose:  I get more of a strong floral than a rose scent.  The cuticle oil is very strong and I don't use it often, but as it's a fundraising effort, I have no regrets at all!

Summer Melon: "It is an uplifting blend of watermelon, canteloupe & honeydew. It also has slight undertones of rum and vanilla."  Don't lick it.  You'll be tempted because it's amazing and completely reminds me of Jolly Ranchers, but tongue prints don't look good on a mani.  It's an honest scent that smells like crisp melon.

Honey Almond: This doesn't contain any actual honey, so it's still vegan and cruelty free.  It smells like marzipan.  Like tart almonds, it's almost like the amazing Jergen's body lotion scent.  This is a very traditional holiday scent here in Italy that I could compare to the PSL craze in the States.

I hope you give Dream Polish a try!  There is a special this weekend using the code VEGASBABY that gives you free shipping on an order of $15us or more as well as a free sample of the new matte top coat!
