Tip Top Nails

Happy Monday! This morning I have 4 polishes from Tip Top Nails to show you from their new line Nail Addict.

Tip Top Nails is a South African brand that I hope will be offered soon by a US distributor. For now, they are only available through Tip Top's website. Tip Top Nails' Nail Addict and treatments are toxin free and are FREE of:  Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP (Dibuthyl Phthalate) & Camphor. AND they are a Cruelty Free Brand!

The ones I'll be showing you today are Clockwork Orange, Envy, Let Me Be and Oh So Natural.






I found all 4 of these to be highly pigmented and very smooth and easy in formula and application. All photos are with no top coat so you can see that they dry to a high shine.

First up, Clockwork Orange. This one is just wow. Clockwork Orange is a bright orange creme that is almost neon in appearance. Two coats for full opacity. I had no issues with it at all and the application was really great.

Envy is a teal creme with a lovely blue shimmer. Same formula and application as Clockwork Orange - creamy and smooth and opaque in 2 coats. No issues at all.

Let Me Be is a medium pink creme. Classic. Same as the other - easy application and creamy formula. Two coats for full opacity but I did need to use a light 3rd coat to even it out.

Finally, I have Oh So Natural. This one is a pinky-peach toned nude with a golden shimmer. I expected it to be more sheer and  to get streaky application and brush marks but I was pleasantly surprised. The application was great - same as the others. Two coats for full opacity.

What do you think of these? I love that they're so dedicated to the toxin-free, cruelty-free aspects. My favorite of these 4 was Clockwork Orange. It's so bright and cheerful! And I like that it's dark enough not to be "only" a summer color. Although, that shimmer in Envy is pretty awesome.

These are not yet available in the US, but they are working on a distributor for here as I write this! You can check out their website here and also follow them on Facebook page for photos, updates, availability and other information. If you would like to purchase directly from their site, the polishes are VERY reasonable, but the shipping is a little steep at the moment...you can contact Joan at info@tiptopnails.co.za.
