"Faded Rose" from Sparklea Nail Polish - Swatches and review


Hi guys!

Today I have a very special polish on my blog for you!

When I saw a new collection from Leanne popping up on our Facebook group, I had to browse. She had awesome new colours all themed around Harry Potter, but I tried to be a good girl, and only ordered one.

The other surprise was, that I already knew her, as she visited me once to pick up a polish I destashed. At that time I haven't realised though, that she is behind this brand.

I asked her if I could pick up the polish I bought, maybe even combine it with a coffee and some girly chat. We set a date, and met in the local coffee shop. :)

I have to say, I enjoyed her company very much! Such a lovely, bubbly, giggly girl, full of creativity and inspiration.

The real shock came, when she handed my polish over, and told me, that she created a brand new one the night before, and she included a little sample of her prototype.

I sunk in the feeling of excitement and joy! The polish I actually bought is very very pretty too, but there will be another post coming up soon!

I couldn't wait to try this new polish, and you will be surprised! It's pink! (for fyi, I'm not a huge pink fan) But it's the most gorgeous shade of pink, with the perfect amount of holographic in it. My coffee went cold, actually I couldn't take my eyes off it! :)

I told her, I will make pictures of my swatches and will do a blog post, so I asked for the name of the polish.
She told me, she doesn't have a name for it, as it is so new, but any suggestions are welcome.
I'm considering myself not as creative when it comes to naming a polish, but without thinking the first thought just popped in my mind: "Faded Rose". She loved it, and I'm very happy, that she choose this name for her newest polish.

Enough blah, here is the star of the day:


Here is a picture of the polish with one coat:


I was actually surprised how well it was covering my nails at the first coat, considering it's a quiet light colour, but there is so much going on in it!

Here are more pictures:






I would describe this polish as a muted pink with a few drops of mauve,  a delicate shimmer and a hint of scattered holographic.
It's completely opaque in two coats, very easy to apply, wasn't to thin or thick, it applied itself like butter. I really enjoyed to work with this polish.
There were some minor brush strokes, but they go away whilst drying.

Love, love, love this polish! :) I hope it will be available soon, as in my opinion it will be a crowd pleaser!

If you feel you would like to try Leanne's polishes, here is the link to her website: Sparklea Nail Polish.

Last but not least I would like to say a huge thank you for Leanne, that she allowed me to try her new polish, and I can not tell you how honoured I feel, that I even could name it!

This experience will stay with my most beloved memories!


Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this post! See you soon! Xxx
