Swatch: Purple Professional Spam

Hi ladies! I have another little 'collection' post for you from the brand Purple Professional, a Portuguese brand. I first heard of Purple Professional through my good friend Betty Nails posts and I was a little disappointed when I learnt they're only available in Portugal, but thanks to a swap with Rosa of The Nail Polish & The Blog, I was able to try my first Purple polishes. Since then, I have also been chosen as one of the International bloggers to sample some of Purple Professionals line as they are currently making plans to expand throughout Europe and possibly Worldwide too!
Today's post consists of just over half of my Purple collection, I've also done a few posts previous to this featuring some Purple polishes too, to see the collective posts, click here. The main reason why I love Purple Professional, is their formula, it's pigmented - you only need 2 coats for the majority, it's the right consistency - it's neither too thick nor too runny and the best of all...it's fast drying with a high gloss finish. Since there's a few photo's in this post, I have included a jump break.

SWATCHES AFTER THE JUMP!

Swatch: Purple Professional - 36

Hi ladies! Before I get into the post, I just wanted to announce that I have finally purchased my own domain name! Which means my blog is now polishedcriminails.com instead of polishedcriminails.blogspot.com! How exciting is that!? I've been wanting my own domain for the longest time, but never got around to doing so until last night, so it's still in transition mode at the moment, so if certain features of my blog isn't working, that will be why!
I have another Purple Professional polish to show you today, if you haven't seen my previous Purple Professional posts, you can click HERE to be taken to those! Purple Professional is a Portuguese brand which is currently in the process of expanding their line to various other countries, which is exciting news! I thought I would show you Shade 36; a dark Lilac creme. The photos below are 3 coats of 36 without a top/base coat taken Indoors in Natural Light (sunshine, where are you?!?)

Sorry for the short post! But a short one is better than none right? What do you think to Purple Professional? Have you tried any of their products yet, if so which ones?! Purple Professional polishes retail for around €3 and can be ordered through any authorised retailers listed here or directly through their Facebook page. They are also currently looking for distributors! So if you think you'd be interested in stocking Purple Professional products in your shop, please e-mail paula.purpleprofessional@sapo.pt

Swatch: Purple Professional - 10

Hi ladies! Just a quick post to show you another Purple Professional polish in shade '10'. 10 is a dusty Purple creme with Pink undertones. I had no issues with the formula and it was opaque in 2 coats. The photos below are without a Top/Base coat, but I don't even think it needs a Top coat, unless you want long lasting wear, since it's already so glossy.

Purple Professional is fast becoming one of my favourite brands, their formula is practically flawless and their range of colours are amazing, I just wish I could get them easily! Stay tuned for some more Purple Professional polishes coming soon!

Swatch: Purple Professional - 14

Hi ladies! I'm back with a new brand to my blog called Purple Professional. Purple Professional is a relatively new brand, which I believe is currently only available in Portugal. Starting out in the Gel Nails market, Purple Professional recently expanded their range regular polish too! Unfortunately, Purple Professional polishes aren't available online, but from select authorised retailers around Portugal. For a full list of those, check out Betty Nails post here to see if they're available near you!

I was lucky enough to receive 6 polishes in a recent swap I did with a lovely Portuguese lady named Rosa from The Nail Polish & The Blog amongst other AMAZING polishes. Unfortunately, Purple Professional polishes don't have names, just numbers, so here's number 14 for you! This didn't pick up too well on my camera, showing up as an almost sky Blue, it actually shows a lot more Teal in real life *is this real life!?*, sorry, I just HAD to...For the photos below I used two coats of 14 without a Base/Top coat. It applied well, without any flooding or streaks and dried quickly too, definitely a trait I look for in my nail polishes. The brush was relatively wide, slightly smaller than OPI brushes, and also flat, making the polish easy to apply.

Purple Professional polishes retail for around €3 and as I mentioned previously, can be ordered through any authorised retailers (here) or directly through their Facebook page. I'm told that Purple Professional are currently making plans to expand their brand outside of Portugal, so keep an eye out for updates by liking their Facebook page! How are you liking #14? Do you think you will be purchasing some Purple Professional any time soon? Stay tuned for more swatches!
