Silly Bee's Chickadees: Steph's Toy Chest Swatches & Giveaway

* The following post features a product sent for review and sponsored giveaway.

The day has finally come! Today, is the release of Silly Bee's Chickadees The Gift of Melly collection. I was so honored to be asked to be a part of this project. There are 5 polishes in this collection, each inspired by 5 bloggers, 5 holiday movies, 5 great causes, and all created by Melissa of Silly Bee's Chickadees. 20% of each bottle purchased will go to the charity of each blogger choice.

My favorite holiday movies have always been the original Home Alone films. I was always awestruck by the scene in Home Alone 2, where Kevin goes into the massive Duncan's Toy Chest store completely decorated like a Christmas wonderland. I love everything and sparkly and festive, so this was my inspiration for my polish...

 Steph's Toy Chest

My charity of choice is the SPCA of Central Florida. I spend 1-2x a week here volunteering. If you follow my Instagram, I'm sure you're used to my bombardment of cat pictures on Wednesday and Fridays! The love, care, and attention given to these animals by staff and volunteers is incredibly heart warming and inspiring to me. This organization not only has made the lives of dogs and cats better, but it has made my life richer.

On to swatches!

Steph's Toy Chest is a is a magical glistening topcoat with loads of gold shimmer, red, evergreen, lavender and light green "ornaments"

This is such a versatile glittering top coat. I love it over dark colors and light colors. The layering options are endless. I used 2 coats over each base.
