Northern Star Polish Tourmaline!

Hello everybody! Today I have my first ever Northern Star Polish polish to share! It is Tourmaline and it's freaking beautiful. I recently dyed the ends of my hair a touch darker and a touch bluer than this colour, so I decided to try this one out first because it matches my hair almost perfectly!

I picked up seven other polishes and four cuticle oils when I purchased this polish from her, so there will be more reviews and swatches to come! Here is the picture of everything I got that you may have seen on my Instagram! As you can see, Kristin threw in an extra little cuticle oil for free, so sweet! Sorry my phone camera sucks so bad!

The cuticle oils are amazing by the way! They contain olive oil, almond oil and grape seed oil, which soaks in even quicker than both a grape seed oil blend and an almond oil blend I have! It's amazing how quickly these soak in and how moisturizing they are, it really is a perfect recipe. These are without a doubt the best cuticle oils I have ever tried! In case you're curious, the full size bottle I bought is Pumpkin Spice, the three mini bottles are Tangerine Honeysuckle, White Chocolate and Sweet Pea, and the free one she threw in is Sir Peppy Pep! Sweet Pea is my favourite scent of the five!

By the way, what do you guys think of the insanely picture-heavy posts I've been posting lately, are they too much? Let me know in the comments! This one is pretty picture-heavy too! :P

These pictures show two thick coats of Tourmaline with and without a coat of top coat (the first four are without and the last four are with)! Tourmaline is what I would describe as a kelly green (though it looks more teal in the photos) crelly polish with tiny green circles (a yellower green than the base), tiny white and black circles, and small silver/white flakes (you can see one really well on my pinkie)! So gorgeous.

Without further ado, let's get on the photos of the beautiful Tourmaline! I included a cropped version of the first non-top-coated picture because you guys NEED to see this baby up close!

    1. I wouldn't blame you one bit! :) Are there any of the other ones I bought you wanna see swatched sooner than others? Just asking because I could do any first! I know you're on your no-buy, it's just in case you really wanna see one! :)
