Hi everyone! I've been absent I know - work and life has been keeping me busy. For the last several months I've been job hunting and I'm finally happy to say that I got a full time job for this school year (I teach university). Yay! I'll be honest, I don't know what it means for this blog but I'll post some sort of update when I am able to.

Bellaluna Dreams Come True collection (partial) |
The Bellaluna Dreams Come True collection is based on Disney fairy tales. These have been out for awhile but they are still available, so if you see something you like, I encourage you to check out Samantha's
Etsy shop. I'll review each polish individually then offer some thoughts at the end.
I See The Light is a warm lavender with tiny microflake shimmer. I like Bellaluna's delicate shimmers and this is a nice colour. I had some difficulties with the formula - I found it a bit thick, but a few drops of thinner fixed that. This was 3 coats.

Missing Slipper is a clear-based glitter topper with tiny silver holo glitter. I'd say this is comparable to China Glaze Fairy Dust, but the glitter is not as fine. I used one coat over Once Upon a Dream, and the formula was good.

Off To Neverland is a deep teal blue jelly with silver holo glitter and shards. If you like jellies, this is a nice one - the colour is very rich and the formula is good. I think I used 3 coats for these swatches, although I may have used two. (sorry!)

Once Upon a Dream is a very girly pink with shimmer. Formula-wise it was comparable to I See the Light - it needed some drops of thinner, but otherwise it was good. I used 3 coats for these swatches.

Final thoughts:
Overall, this is a very nice collection, and I really like the softer colours. There's two more, which I didn't receive, I think I would have really liked the aquamarine blue one. I don't really like adding thinner to brand new polishes, but that's my preference; otherwise, I didn't have an issue with these polishes. My pick: Once Upon a Dream.
