Whimsical Ideas by Pam "Hatched"

Hey Hey,
Hows everyone's evening going? Mine is quiet so I decided to do a post. And I have a gorgeous, and adorable polish to show to you guys. If you haven't heard of Whimsical  ideas by Pam's polishes, you are missing out. I have showed you guys my other polish I have by her called "Suess". If you missed it, take a look at it here. Its another beauty. Also, take a look at her facebook page which is where you can see her polishes and where you can find her e-mail address to order some polishes. She does , however, only ship to the US. I had to go through a third party to get mine and it was quite a hassle. It took about 3 months for me to get them. I thought they were lost. So I was beyond happy when I finally got them and appreciate them that much more now!!!

So on to "Hatched" which is a pretty pastel yellow with dark and light pink glitter along with blues, greens and even tiny silver bright and hex glitter. I know it is the Christmas season but this polish just reminded me of Easter! It has great application. I have on 3 coats because I wanted it to leave no VNL. And what absolutely made this mani beautiful was my Seche Vite top coat. I never really wore top coats before. I would here and there but never really thought they were that important. Especially since I change my nails so often, way before any chipping usually happens. But I have to admit, seche vite, which for those who don't know and with me being French can easily translate , means "dry fast". 'Another thing I didn't know was that you're supposed to add it when your polish is still wet. Well tacky. I used to always wait until it was completely dry and then add it. But I added it at the right time and it makes more sense. Helps with the drying. It just made it look so smooth and perfect. Exactly what this polish needs to give it that soft, smooth look. And this contradicts what I just said about always changing my nails but I was super busy the week I was wearing this so I ended up keeping it on for 9 days. 9 DAYS!!! For me that really is something! Not only was I busy but I really am in love with this polish and it just looked great. There was no chipping, even after all this time. Will show you a pic of that later but for now, on to the polish!!! Enough of me babbling:)

So, as I said, these are 3 coats topped of with seche vite.

Just look at all the glittery goodness:) This polish is just so pretty, delicate and cute. Total girly polish;) 

I think "Hatched" is the perfect name for this polish:) So reminds me of Easter. Just the pastel yellow and all the pastel glitters.......

What I love about this polish is that by adding more then 1 coat, you really get that perfect "jelly" look:)

Sorry about the lack of clean up in some of these. They always look fine to my naked eye and its not until I look at the pictures to I see all the bad spots..:(

Prior to putting this on, I did a major cleaning of my hands. You know how much I hate showing my right hand because of al the yellow stains I have. Well I bleached it and scrubbed it with whitening toothpaste and they came out quite nice. Therefore, I will show some right hand pictures:)

And now, they're not the best pictures but I just wanted to show how great seche vite works. These were taken 9 days after I first put my polish on. And look at that! Would think it was but a couple days old!:) 

I am definitely a seche vite customer for life!! And, of course, Whimsicals for that matter:) WE must try and convince her to ship to Canada!!! lol....

So I hope you guys enjoyed my pictures. As always, my posts are very picture heavy:) What do you guys think of "Hatched"? Does it remind you of Easter as well? Which , if any, Whimsicals do you own? Or which would you love to have??

Till next time:) All the best:)

And remember, lets stay drama free but never polish free:):)  

pams whimsical polishes "Suess"

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

Ok, now that I got that out, hello again. I am excited because my polishes FINALLY CAME!!! I have been waiting 3 months for these babies! I had to go through a third party because Pam does not ship to Canada. SO an online friend let me pay her to make an order for me and then ship them to me. However, that was 3 months ago and I just got the yesterday. I was so happy to see them because I had pretty much came to terms with the fact that they were lost and I was not getting them. Not to sure if it was the post office or customs or what because I have never had something take this long but they are here so I am happy!! I got "suess" and "Hatched" but I only have "Suess" to show you guys today. I love and really wanted "Hatched" but I got "Soak of the sun" from 365 days of color since I thought I was not going to be getting "hatched" and they are very similar. I will be doing a comparison on the two soon. But since I had just worn "Soak up the sun" I had to try "Suess" first and that is the one that originally caught my eye:)

AS you can see, it is a gorgeous, dark blue, packed with red and silver hexes and blue glitter. Now, I may be biased because blue is my favourite color for everything but I think this polish is just BEAUTIFUL!!!! Look at it! its so fun. Not to mention how cute the bottles are:) but, I just LOVE this color!

AS I see many bloggers say about polish pictures, these do not do it justice. It is very bright and You can really see the glitter more then shown here.

For those of us who are into the whole "Jelly sammich" mani's this is a perfect Jelly in a bottle!

 These are all with 3 coats:)

This polish really "POPS" in the sun, as you can see but here are some pics inside:)

 AH!! UGH!! how did I NOT notice that stain on my fingers??? Sorry guys, thought I had cleaned it up:( But you do see the glitter more in these pictures.

 ANd under a bright light. Way too bright actually.....

 OUCH!! hurts the eyes doesn't it?? But wanted to show you the blue! This is as close to the color it is:)

I think I said it best when I said "Jelly sammich" in a bottle because that is what it is. Its like that because I added 3 coats. AT first its not so much a jelly but after you add another coat, its sheer, so it goes over the first coat and glitter but you can still see it. It Changes the silver hexes to white almost but just gives it more color! Not to mention it is inspired by one of my favourite child authors EVER!! It does have a sort of kid and playful look/feel to it for me. Reminds me of "one fish, two fish (one coat two coat) red fish, blue fish (red glitter, blue glitter) hehehehe.....
The only problem was with the large hexes. They tend to stay towards the tip. So you do have to play around and place them where you want. Then add a final coat to get rid of any smudges from moving them around. Just takes a bit of patience and the right application. I totally recommend these polishes!! I cant wait to try out "Hatched". I know this is an older line (still available thought) and she has newer ones out now that are just as gorgeous! Sucks that she can't ship to Canada but a lot of indies are that way. Next time I do a swap with an american friend (Contact me any time if interested in swaps, we can talk:) I will ask them to place an order of more for me. If interested, they are 10$ a bottle(us) and you can see the whole collection of them on her facebook page and if you're in the US, shipping info is here.

So what do you guys think of it?? Do you love it as much as I do??? Do you own any? If not, plan on getting some? I do recommend it:) Hope you enjoyed this second post today. Thanks again for reading and see you soon:):)
