Jacava Chocolate Melts Review

Hi all!

Today I have a review/swatch of a polish I was sent by the company Jacava. To find out more about this company visit their site here all their polishes are DBP, Camphor, Formaldehyde and Toluene free, and they don't test on animals either.

I chose Chocolate Melts to try out. It was between that and Cappuccino Cream as I was really wanting to try one of their browns.

Dry time was really good, as was coverage. I have two thin coats on my index finger, and two thicker coats on the rest. Can you notice how squishy the thicker coats look? These are taken in various lighting, without base coat, and without top coat. Look at that shine!

This is how warm this polish looks most of the time, this picture was taken with the flash on my camera.

Horrible overcast daylight. I think you can see the slight colour difference between the thin and thick coats here.

Shade shot.

From this, and what I've seen of Jacava's other polishes I think most of their creme finishes are going to be more of a Creme-Jelly love child polish, a little bit squishy but with great coverage, and amazing shine.

Over all I'm impressed by polish formula, I really like the bottle and the handle, and the colour really is the perfect chocolate shade, and I know I'm gonna reach for this when I need this kind of warm milky brown.

These polishes retail for £14.50, but there's currently a 3 for 2 offer on.

Hope you're all having a good Saturday! :]

National Pet Week - We Stamp On Sundays

This week over at Adventures In Stamping the challenge theme is National Pet Week. I knew straight away what I was going to do as I'd just recieved some plates for review from The Born Pretty Store and was excited to use them. I will be doing a full stamping review of the two plates I got some time soon, so keep an eye out for that. For now though I used the little cat image from the S10 animal plate.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colours: Rimmel - Milk Chocolate
                        Rimmel - Tip Whitener
Sponged Colours: ELF - Desert Haze
                             Matalan G - Storm
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: Born Pretty Store - S10
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I started with Rimmel - Milk Chocolate, with an accent of Rimmel - Tip Whitener on my ring finger (which is god knows how many years old, but has been thinned so much now, it actually dries!) I sponged ELF - Desert Haze and Matalan G - Storm on Milk Chocolate, and Storm alone on the ring finger to represent Jazz, my grey and white cat. I then stamped with Konad Special White Polish, and added a top coat.

And as every stamping challenge goes here's what I used:
