Northern Star Polish's Berry Much In Love & Lettuce Cuticle Oil

Hi!

If you saw my instagram, you would have known that I won a giveaway held by Colorsutraa! It was her Day 11 giveaway!  I am rather lucky when I enter Colorsutraa's giveaway! Previously, I won her 1500 Likes Giveaway! Kirstin, the maker of Northern Star Polish did not contacted me prior receiving the package at home! 

You have got to imagine my puzzled feeling when I came home to a package from US, as I did not buy any polish! It such a pleasant surprise! I was looking out for a card to explained the items, she noted on the back of her name card...

These were the items that I had received. I will be reviewing the 3 other polishes (Mullberry, Peacock Party & ) in a separate post :)

First up! Berry Much In Love! :D 

Northern Star Polish's Berry Much In Love

This is a blend between a dark wine red and pink! Not to mention to extra strong holographic in this polish! Just look at how its shines!

Berry Much In Love is a 4-Free and is a vegan & cruelty-free polish. This means that the polish contains NO Formaldehyde, NO Dibutyl Phthalate (DBO), NO Toulene, NO Formaldehyde-Resin. :D Isn't it just great!

I applied, 1 coat of Duri Rejuvocate as a base coat and 2 coats of Northern Star Polish's Berry Much In Love! I didn't apply any topcoat as I was afraid that it would dull the holographic in the polish! I felt that the formula was a bit on the thick side despite it being my first time applying. I prefer polishes which are slightly more watery as I find it quite a hassle to keep adding thinner if a polish thickens up too fast. However, I know of many ladies out there who prefer polishes with a thicker consistency! It is all up to your personal preference. This is just my two-cents worth.

Despite the formula, I really loved this color! Especially since it has such a strong linear holographic finish! This color would be appropriate for any party events! It bring out the shine in you and let's you dazzle in the crowd! :D I honestly would not mind taking the trouble to add thinner to them when it thickens. It's a hard to resist color! 

Northern Star Polish's Lettuce Cuticle Oil

Next, we have "Lettuce Cuticle Oil" that was recently launched in her store! You may have seen some oily appearence on the fingers for "Berry Much In Love", I was using this very product to test it out:) As quoted from her store, "My formula is free from products derived from nuts, soy, wheat, or animals but is still as nourishing & silky." 

These are the ingredients of her product:

Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avacado) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Rosa Carnina (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Fragrance

It comes in a 10ml bottle with a doe foot applicator which allows us to have oily-free fingers when applying! The brush on the doe foot applicator is really soft! On each application, I can apply it on all 5 fingers in a go! Its so economical friendly!

It has a very light and sweet smell. It is a very light 'vegetable' smell. It absorb in within 1-2 mins! You would not even know you applied any liquid on your fingers! I would highly recommend this cuticle oil to you! Its so handy and its mess-free! (BONUS!)
