Bootie Babe | March 2016

Hey everyone! I have a new to me brand on my blog today! I have been planning on ordering a bottle for one of my good friend's birthday gift and I finally went ahead and purchased two polishes! I'm not going to share the first polish so I don't ruin her surprise but I order 'Loose Caboose' for myself!

'Loose Caboose' is a coral creme that leans a bit more red. The formula was insanely smooth and I am impressed!! It covered evenly in one coat but I did two just because I could still notice my VNL. For me, this is a shade that I would wear all year round on my toes. This may replace a similar shade, OPI 'Live. Love. Carnaval.' for my toe color! This polish had a good drying time and dries fairly glossy but shown is with a coat of Seche Vite.

When I opened the package I was super happy to see that Bootie Babe threw in a couple extras!! It totally made my day! So in addition to the two I ordered, I also received 'Top Shelf' and 'Hella Hiney'!

First I am going to show 'Top Shelf', which is a medium pink with a purple shimmer running through it. It was pretty sheer on the first coat but built up nicely in three coats. The shimmer isn't quite as apparent on the nail but still looks awesome when you're in the sunlight! This polish dried slightly matte but I added a coat of Seche Vite.

Finally I have 'Hella Hiney', which is a teal colored polish. The formula is almost thin and jelly like on the first coat but was still easy to apply. The second coat smoothed it all out and made it completely opaque! 'Hella Hiney' also dries fairly matte but one coat of topcoat should do the trick! I was worried about this polish staining because I have experienced this with similar colors so I used a peal of base coat and experienced absolutely no problems!

Overall I am extremely impressed by this brand and I will be repurchasing from them in the future! I really appreciate the hand written note and the freebies that were included!
