Glisten & Glow/Young Wild and Polished Collab

Today I have a polish duo I am really excited about. You already know I am a huge fan of Glisten & Glow and their HK Girl top coat, but you probably don't know that I'm also a huge fan of Nicole over at Young Wild and Polished on YouTube. I have several nail/beauty channels I subscribe to on YouTube and Nicole's channel is one of them. She is really funny, informative and makes great videos! I will link Young Wild and Polished here so you can check her out. I was super excited when Nicole posted a video of the polishes that she created with Glisten & Glow. She does have a discount code for her subscribers in that video.

Topaz (L) Good Day (R)



First up is Topaz. Topaz is a clear based polish that has medium pink, dark pink, medium blue, silver and black micro glitter along with holographic micro glitter to round everything out. This is opaque in two to three coats. I used three coats for my swatches here. You can top coat it like I did, or leave it without for a textured finish. This polish has such pretty sparkle and shine to it! It looks so neat on your nails.

Blurry so you can see the holo glitter! Pretty!

The other polish in this duo is Good Day. Good Day is a blue-ish purple holographic polish. You can get this opaque in two to three coats. For me with two coats I could still see my nail line a bit. With three coats the color is deeper and my nail line is covered. This is so pretty. I don't have any colors like this in my collection. Sometimes when I look at it I think it leans more blue, but other times I think it leans more purple - it depends on the lighting. I couldn't stop looking at my hands when I had this color on!

I really like this duo! I think the colors are unique and the formulas are excellent, just like all of the other polishes I've purchased from Glisten & Glow. I highly recommend that you check out Nicole's channel on YouTube (if you watch her videos make sure you stick around for the bloopers - hilarious!) These polishes can be purchased in the duo here. Both polishes can be purchased separately as well. Which of these is your favorite? I'd love to hear in the comments below!

  1. I love your swatches!! I also watch Nicole on YouTube, she's hilarious!!! From the video she posted Topaz looks a lot different than your swatches, it looks so much prettier than I thought! What other people do you watch? I'm always looking for new people to watch. :)

    1. Thank you so much! I agree, Topaz is much prettier in person. :0) I like to watch jessFACE90, leighannsays, Lindsay Does Nails, and Nailpolish Babyyninety is a newerror channel for me. Who do you watch? I'm always up for checking out new channels as well!

  2. I watch everybody that you mentioned except for Nailpolish Babyninety, I'm going to have to check her out! If you watch YWP, do you also watch Kathleen? I love her too, her tutorials are awesome!! For nail polish I watch Phoebe Moon and MissHollyBerries. For makeup I like Jaclyn Hill, Amelia Liana, Essiebutton, MakeupbyEman, TeniPanosian, EmilyNoel83 and CoffeeBreakwithDani, those are the ones I watch the most, there are other ones I follow but I don't watch all of their videos. I think it's kinda funny how we watch some similar people and I randomly found your blog, I seriously typed in Zoya box revealed and your blog popped up, that's how I found you! Anyway, enough randomness, have a great day!!

    1. I actually just started watching Kathleen. :0) I'm going to have to check out the other girls you mentioned as well. I actually do watch Holly, but forgot to mention her. I would like to get more into makeup, but since I stay at home with my two boys, I don't find much time to put it on.
