China Glaze - SESAME STREET YOU DO HUE COLLECTION - SWATCHES, REVIEW and GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone!

Today I have for you swatches and a review of the China Glaze You Do Hue - Sesame Street Collection.

This collection of twelve piece was made in a collaboration with Sesame Street. 

I bought this collection at Polish Pick, check them out, they have amazing low prices. 

Beak On Fleek!

This is a matte yellow, the formula is streaky and it needed 4 coats to reach opacity. 

I Believe In Snuffy
This is a peach shade with a gold shimmer to it, this is three coats.

Trash Can-Do Attitude
A metallic green with gold shimmer. I did three coats. 

Ernie Yours Stripes
This is a bright but sheer orange shade with gold flecks to it. This is three coats. 

Grover It
This is a bright navy blue with blue and holographic glitter. Great formula, this is two coats. 

Fur Real Though
This is a hot pink jelly, it applied well, opaque in three coats. 

Monsterpiece
A raspberry pink scattered holographic. This is one of my favorites from the collection.
Applies evenly and was opaque in two coats. 

Dat Color Dough
This is a clear base packed with ocean blue and silver micro glitter. I applied three coats. 

Living In The Elmo-Ment
This is a red base with holographic glitter. Beautiful shade, opaque in two coats. 

I Count Even...
This is five (5) coats! I Count Even... is a sheer light purple.
This is my least favorite from the collection. 

Free To Be Sesame
Another fantastic shade! A scattered holographic green jelly base. This is two coats. 

Ah Ah Ah-Mazing!
A metallic silvery lilac, this is two coats. 

I kinda like this collection, there are some shades that I wish they had a different finish to them, I'm not a big fan of the metallic polishes that show brush strokes. 

I love the holographic and glitter shades. 

Please leave a comment for a chance to win this collection, tell me your favorite tv show from your childhood. 

The giveaway is international, I'll pick the winner on June 30th. 

That's all for now! 

Thank you.

This plate includes the phrases "Let's Get Creative", and  "Make a Splash" as well as a variety of small designs along the bottom.

Who doesn’t love METALLICS, CHROMES and even FOIL in your nails?  WE DO!!  And that’s why we created this GORGEOUS plate!!  

Similar to a vinyl, all the images have thicker lines so when you use foil or metallic polishes you really can capture that beautiful effect when you stamp!  And not only that, if you love to do REVERSE STAMPING, this plate could give you the possibility to create designs mixing both technics!  Isn’t this amazing?! 

We just fell in love with this plate and that’s the reason why we named it “I Foil In Love 01”.

This is a gold chrome-metallic shade, as you can see the brush strokes are noticeable but they are minor. One coat was enough to reach full opacity.

Songbird Serenade

A black base with multicolored shimmer in it, I applied to coats to obtain full opacity, great formula tho.

I'm very happy with this collection, I love every single shade, my picks would be Songbird Serende, Where's The Party CanonAt?, I Just Canterlot, Too Busy Being Awesome, Let Your Twilight Sparkle, One Polishes Pony and I See Ponies. 

I bought these polishes from an online re-tailer and paid $3.25 about 10 days ago and today when I was looking to share the link with you these were $7.25 each. 

I found them for $3.25 at 8ty8 Beauty Supplies  if you are interested.
