Roxx Polish: Sunstone

Check out all of their polishes here: https://www.roxxpolish.com/

Roxx Polish is based around crystals and their qualities. All polishes are infused with their respective crystal and should be well shaken before application.

Sunstone (Independence)

Sunstone is a beige nude with a very subtle shimmer.
First coat:

 This polish applies nice and evenly, I did get a little bit of a lump on the nail but I could have not shaken well enough as I hadn't had that problem yet. It was a little sheer so I went in for a second coat.
Second coat:
Sunstone is fully opaque in two coats and dries to a glossy finish. This polish has a very very subtle metallic or shimmer to it that looks great in sunlight.

Final Thoughts

This is a 10/10 for formula. The color is nothing special but I feel like it would work well on any skintone. I find that two coats chips in about 5-9 days with NO topcoat and I'm pretty rough on my hands. The polish had an average nail polish scent that wasn't overpowering. Removes easily with a typical nail polish remover and leaves no stain or shimmer.

I'd Rather be Tanning (I Prefer to be in the Nude Collection)



I'd Rather be Tanning is a dark nude cream polish
one coat:
This polish applies absolutely perfectly and I do have to say that this is a solid one coater! It dries very smooth and shiny so there is no real need for a top coat. (please ignore the blue stain around my nails, I probably should've swatched this one first haha :) ) 

Final Thoughts

I'd give this polish a 10/10 becauseeeee ONE COATER! Woo one coaters aren't as common as you would think, especially when you're as picky as me with opacity. This shade has a lovely formula that is easy to apply and it has a nice brush that doesn't get polish all over the place, I find that this chips in about 6-8 days with NO topcoat and I'm pretty rough on my hands. The polish had an average nail polish scent that wasn't noticeable. Removes easily with a typical nail polish remover and leaves no stain.

Blue Blood (The Dark Side Collection)



Blue Blood is a very dark navy blue/ almost black cream polish with teal-green undertones
one coat:
This polish applies very smoothly and nicely, it was just a liiiiitle bit to sheer for my liking so I went in for a second coat.
two coats:
This polish is fully opaque in two coats and dries to a smooth, high gloss shine so there is no need for a glossy top coat. The second coat slightly deepened the color and evened out the nail completely.

Final Thoughts

I'd give this polish a 9/10 I love the dark vampy color.  This shade has a lovely formula that is easy to apply and it has a nice brush that doesn't get polish all over. I gave this polish a 9 because it does stain the nail quite a bit (mostly stains the skin during the removal process) I find that this chips in about 4-6 days with NO topcoat and I'm pretty rough on my hands. The polish had an average nail polish scent that wasn't noticeable. Removes easily with a typical nail polish remover and leaves a blue stain on cuticles and surrounding skin for about a day.

Key West at Best is a stunning pink coral cream polish
one coat:

This polish applies very smoothly and nicely. It's a wonderful formula and I had no issues with it wanting to run down the sides of the nail. I found it to be the teeniest tinyest bit streaky on a few bits but depending on how you apply this it could definitely be a one coater.
two coats:

This polish is fully opaque in one to two coats and dries to a smooth, high gloss shine so there is no need for a glossy top coat. I tested out the LallDass matte top coat along with this polish.
 with matte top coat:

one coat:
This golden shift is absolutely gorgeous! The first coat applied smoothly and evenly and had no brush strokes.
