I was recently sent a couple of lovely polishes to review from MJ at YAB Cosmetics as part of her pre-release collection before she launches with her first full collection in September, and I am so impressed already. Here's a closer look at the polishes I got and my thoughts on them.
YAB Cosmetics, which stands for You Are Beautiful, is a brand new cruelty and 5-free UK indie nail polish brand. To test the water before it's official launch, MJ has created a collection of pastel polishes and they are fantastic!
Unnamed Pastel Yellow
I'm not normally a huge fan of yellow but I adore this super girly mellow yellow shade. This swatch shows 3 thin coats with top coat but it is very glossy without the top coat. I used 3 coats as I find polishes this colour always need a helping hand to look flawless. This colour is lovely to wear on it's own or it will provide a great base for some nail art.
Unnamed Pastel Purple
Purple is one of my favourite polish colours and I'm a sucker for gorgeous lilac shades like this. This swatch shows 2 thin coats and top coat, but like the yellow above, it is very glossy on it's own, I just find you get a much better finish with a top coat. This shade is so wearable for this time of year and I think it would look fantastic with a tan.
The formula of both polishes is fantastic...buttery and smooth with no dragging. The drying time is really quick so no waiting around in-between coats, Overall, they are a real pleasure to work with.
You can find the website for YAB here, and don't forget to follow MJ on Instagram @yabcosmetics to keep up with all of her latest release news and info on how to buy.
Which colour is your favourite? Let me know in the comments.

Ooh that purple is gorgeous & although the yellow needed an extra coat that is typical of yellows, especially pastel ones.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swatches too 😍

The purple is so pretty. Really perfect for spring. I agree, I always find yellows like that need 3 coats to make them look flawless. Thank you so much for your lovely comments as always :)
