Hey Guys!
Today's post is all about textured polishes. I know, I know, I have said before how much I hate this trend and all that, but I decided to give the trend another shot and bought a bunch of different brands, colors, and types of textured polishes to see if any of them would grow on me enough to actually wear them. This post today is about all those polishes I hauled and what I think of them all! Lots to get through, so here we go!
First up, Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Collection. I got 4 out of the (I think) 8 colors in this collection.

Lick-O-Rich. 2 Coats. Black. TERRIBLE name! Kinda sounds dirty... either that or my mind is in the gutter... which it probably is!
That's it for the Sugar Coat colors I picked up. These colors were really opaque. I used 2 coats on them and waited for it to completely dry to its rough texture. These weren't too hard to work with, and overall I like how they went on. I still really dislike how they feel on my finger tips though. I did experiment with adding some topcoat and after one coat of topcoat, the texture was tolerable and it still had a textured look to it. I might be able to wear them that way!
Next, I picked up some of the China Glaze Texture Collection colors.

In the Rough. 2 coats. Chartreuse-y yellowey/green color. I really love the color on this!

Itty, Bitty & Gritty. 2 Coats. Pinky Coral.

Of Coarse!. 2 Coats. Mediumish Blue
That's it for the CG Texture collection colors I got. Unline the Sally Hansen Sugar Coat, these were thicker and harder to apply than the Sally Hansen. I'm really liking the Sally Hansen formula over the China Glaze ones, I just found these a pain to apply... especially In the Rough which is really sad because it was my favorite of the colors.
Next, a couple of Julie G Gumdrop Collection polishes.

Rock Candy. Dark green gritty glitter and small hex silver glitter.

Blueberry Fizz. 2 Coats. Light-ish Blue gritty glitter with small silver hex glitter.
Those are the 2 Julie G that I bought. These were okay. They just feel like gritty glitter. These are really gorgeous. I might go and pick up one more. I find that when I slather it with topcoat, I love how they look and feel!
Last polish I picked up in the textured haul is a color from the OPI The Bond Girls Collection.

Tiffany Case. 2 Coats. Gorgeous turquoise with small turquoise hex glitter. I love this color so much! I hate that its a liquid sand color, but I love this color enough to suck it up and just topcoat and Gelous the heck out of it in order to wear it!
So that's it for my texture polish spam. I hope you guys enjoyed it! While I really dislike the textured trend, they make for some pretty colors that when worked with, I can definitely wear like regular polish!
Thanks for reading!
