Maya Cosmetics "Sprummer" Collection Swatch and Review

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! No April Fools Jokes from me today. But I do have four of the seven new polishes releasing this week from Maya Cosmetics! The collection is being dubbed "Sprummer" with more summery than springy colors, with a spring release. (Head on over to Things I Love At The Moment if you want to see the other 3 new polishes!) They launch in the shop on April 4th, so mark your calendars, grab your wish lists, and get ready to add some beauties.

Maya Cosmetics Fall Polishes + SALE!

Press Release

Good morning, readers! I'm interrupting our normal schedule of nail art to bring you some swatches (and a skittlette, that counts as a nail art post right?) of three new Maya Cosmetics polishes being released tomorrow! I didn't want to wait any longer to share these so you don't miss out on the SALE!

There are 5 new core colors, 2 One Batch Wonders (there are literally only one batch of each so grab them as soon as they are live or you will miss out), and a quick dry top coat!

I have 3 of the new colors, one being a One Batch Wonder, and the top coat to review for you today.

Let's start out with a skittlette I did using two of the new polishes: Stargazing and Hematite. 

Stargazing is a deep blue jelly with silver micro glitter. Reminiscent of the night sky, this jelly polish is gorgeous! I've done two coats below with 1 coat of the new Maya Cosmetics Topcoat. It applied easily and had great coverage. The glitters suspend well in the jelly base and it has so much depth! I love it! 

Hematite is one of the One Batch Wonders. It is a dark gray metallic(sort of) polish. I'm showing only ONE COAT on my pinky and thumb. It applied easily and covered so well! I even stamped with it over Stargazing on my index and middle fingers! It's a subtle effect over the dark blue but that's my color combo choice, not anything reflected on it's stamping abilities. I'm showing it with one coat of Maya Cosmetics Topcoat below as well.

The stamped nails also got a coat of the new Maya Cosmetics Topcoat and it didn't smear the stamping at all! Woohoo! When trying a new top coat over nail art for the first time, it's a stressful situation. You don't know yet if it will drag through your design or float on top like this one did. It dries quickly, not as quickly as Seche Vite, but I didn't mess up my mani after applying it and that's saying something for me!

The third new polish I have to show you is called Glitter Is The New Black! Such a cute name, and a really pretty polish. It is a black base with black, silver, pink, orange, silver holo, and purple holo micro glitters. I'm showing two coats below and it was a gritty finish so I did two coats of Maya Cosmetics Topcoat. You could probably skip the top coat and wear it as almost a textured polish, actually, but I wanted to get that high shine to see those glitters sparkle! I can't wait to wear this as an accent nail for some halloween mani ideas!

What do you think of these new polishes by Maya Cosmetics? They release tomorrow at 2pm EDT and there is a sale running from September 27-30th for 25% off your entire purchase! The code for the sale is FALLSPECIAL.

The normal prices for the polishes are $9.50 and $4 for the topcoat, so this is a great time to try out or stock up on some new favorites!

Also, she is discontinuing some older polishes and they are on clearance to $6.50 before the sale, and the sale code will apply to them as well!

ONE MORE exciting thing to add, the Smoothing Topcoat is coming back! It is my favorite for smoothing out gritty glitters and I am so happy to see it coming back. It is also normally priced for $4 a bottle. (I recommend applying one coat of Smoothing top coat over top coat hungry glitters and then applying one coat of the quick drying Topcoat).

Don't forget that Hematite is a One Batch Wonder and you won't be able to get it once it sells out so grab it quickly!

Which is your favorite of the new polishes? You can find swatches of the entire collection over at Things I Love At The Moment!

Hailey's Fun Friday: Purple and Glitter Combo!

Hello, readers, and TGIF! Friday's are going to bring you something new here on Adventures In Acetone. If you've been following for a while, you've heard me talk about my daughter, Hailey, who just turned 5 last month. She is a total nail-aholic and loves doing her own nails. I thought it would be special for her and a nice way for us to bond to let her have her own series on AIA. Each friday will be called Hailey's Fun Friday and will showcase a recent nail look she's worn. Sometimes it will be something she's asked me to do on her nails, and other times it will be what she has done to her own nails. (I'll help with some cleanup) 

So that brings us to our first Fun Friday! Recently, Ashley from Ashley Is PolishAddicted sent a few goodies for Hailey in a swap we had and these were the two polishes for her. She was so excited and decided they would look pretty together! (Thanks so much, Ash!)

She did two coats of Sassy Lacquer A Frosty Crocus and one coat of Maya Ruckus, with top coat.

What do you think of Hailey's first nail look for Hailey's Fun Friday? Thanks so much for reading! 

Maya Cosmetics: Vintage and Parrot Trooper Swatches!

Hello readers! It's the final day of Maya Cosmetics polishes. I hope you have enjoyed the past few days! I am such a fan of Maya Cosmetics and love when Kat comes out with new polishes! Our final two polishes don't have anything in common, but they certainly are pretty!

Vintage and Parrot Trooper

Let's start out with Vintage. First things first, this is only ONE COAT you are seeing below. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when I only need one coat of a polish. I've heard that you can stamp with it as well, so you know I will be trying that in the future. Also, it is another scattered holo that my camera doesn't want to share with you (greedy camera, keeping the prettiness all to itself). "Faded plum with silver shimmer and subtle scattered holo." I love this, showing one coat with no top coat below.

Lastly, we end our Maya Cosmetics marathon with the polish I wore as a full mani after swatching: Parrot Trooper. The name made me giggle when I opened the package and the shimmer is so lovely! It is less red and has a hint of pastel in real life, but I wasn't able to show the true color in my photos. "Bright coral orange with gold, purple, and light green shimmer flakes" I'm showing two coats below with top coat. LOVE! 

So what are your thoughts on this pair of Maya Cosmetics polishes? They retail for $9.50/bottle and you can buy them at the store link below! Thank you so much for joining in 4 days of Maya Cosmetics!

Maya Cosmetics: Daydreaming and Cupcake Violent Swatches!

Hello, readers! Are you enjoying this 4 days of Maya Cosmetics? Today is Day 3 and I have 2 glitter polishes for you! They don't need base colors and are great for spring!

Daydreaming and Cupcake Violent

We will start with Daydreaming. The shimmer in this one was a surprise to me and made me love the polish so much more! "Sheer sky blue base with blue shimmer and white, teal, purple, and pink satin glitter." I'm showing 2 easy coats below with top coat. No issues to report and I love the combo of glitter colors with this base.

Moving on to Cupcake Violent. This base has a scattered holo but I could not seem to capture it for you in my lightbox or kitchen lighting outside of the lightbox. "Lavender base with holo micro glitter, silver glitter, scattered holo pigment, and violet shimmer." I'm showing two coats below with top coat. This applied so wonderfully!

Maya Cosmetics: Sanctuary and Wyoming Skies Swatches!

Hello, readers! It's part 2 of our 4 day Maya Cosmetics review! Today, I have a pairing that was created by two fellow nail bloggers and Kat and they look so great together! I am so happy to have them!

Sanctuary by Cosmetic Sanctuary and Wyoming Skies by Set In Lacquer.

Sanctuary is a, "Soft aqua blue with aqua and silver shimmer." I'm showing two easy coats with no top coat below. Gorgeous, another winning shimmer from Maya Cosmetics. 

The glitter topper of this duo is called Wyoming Skies. "Blue, caramel, and warm pink glitter in a clear base." This is a gorgeous combination of glitters and I'm showing one coat below with top coat. Very pretty combo!

Look at that glitter combination in the macro!

What a great pair!

Maya Cosmetics: Demeure and Once in a Lullaby Swatches!

Hello, readers! I have 4 posts lined up this week for you featuring 8 new Maya Cosmetics polishes! Are you excited? Kat recently released 21 new polishes and was sweet enough to send 8 my way to share with you! I've decided to break them up into 4 posts with 2 polishes in each as to not overwhelm you.

Let me just tell you, I love them all! Kat has a special ability when it comes to making polish, especially when it comes to shimmers. I can't seem to get enough Maya Cosmetics shimmers and am so glad to have more to show you this time around.

Today's post features a nude shimmer and a rainbow sparkling glitter topper that I think make an unexpectedly fun pairing!

Demeure and Once in a Lullaby

Let's start with this very pretty, shimmery nude. Demeure is described by Kat as, "sheer warm pink with copper shimmer." I'm showing three coats below with no top coat. I can still see visible nail line but I didn't mind it because it made it more delicate in my opinion. And the shimmer is so pretty!

Next, we have a rainbow in a bottle! Once in a Lullaby is described by Kat as, "rainbow satin glitter and micro holo glitter in a clear base." This was very easy to work with and was really packed with rainbow glitter! I'm only showing one coat below over Demeure. I love the name!

Also, I wanted to note: The day I received these Maya Cosmetics polishes, Hailey(almost 5 years old) asked if we could do Once in a Lullaby on her nails over a pink. Here is her picture that she really wanted me to share with you all:
