Nails by Tataw Summer collection

Press Sample

Hello my fellow nail polish junkies!!  Today I have a new Indie brand to tell you about.  Nails by Tataw is owned and operated by Victoria whom is a sweetheart of a young lady and she just graduated from High School!  Congratulations Victoria.  I have a special place in my heart for new Indie polish makers.  There is just something special about telling people about new brands and trying out new polishes!  I  love swatching and reviewing for them and always try to do my best! Victoria already has some polishes on her website but this is her new summer collection releasing June 6th and available for pre sale May 30th.

Many of the polishes in this collection have a metallic finish so first I want to share a few tips about metallic polishes.  They can be absolutely stunning as you can see below but can show your brush strokes.  When working with any metallic polishes I find it best to use as few brush strokes as possible and you will be fine.  The shiny factor is worth the extra effort in my book!!

Let me get a few things out of the way.  The formula on all of these is nice.  Nails by Tataw is five free. They flow easily on to the nail and have a lot of opacity.  There is one sheerer polish in the collection and I will talk about that when we get there. All polishes are shown with two coats and a shiny topcoat.  I am trying out, and so far enjoying a new one and when I get to the halfway point of my bottle I will share a review!  I have somewhat perfected my hand pose for full size bottles but still struggle to find the prettiest with mini bottle so please excuse any awkward poses!!


First up is Lavender Voltage.  This is a lovely lavender metallic polish with silver shimmer.  Now I am not a polish maker so I am not sure if its actual shimmers added in or just the metallic properties of the polish.  Such a lovely color.

Next we have Sunkissed, which is a metallic orange.  I don't wear a lot of orange so I was a little nervous if I could show this one well.  It is a very pretty orange and I know any orange polish lover would love the shade of it!

Here we have Fairy Tales and Yacht Parties.  This is a metallic polish that has a pearl like finish.  I have the hardest time capturing white polishes!  The finish is a bit hard to photograph.  I hope the Macro will give you an idea of the finish.

Next we have a beautiful blue metallic polish called Frozen? I Make EM' Melt!  I had to be the most careful with this polish and brush strokes.  This is true of any metallic polish and I found that a good fast drying topcoat smooths most of them out.

Here we have Partying Teal Morning.  How cute is that name!!  This polish is hard to describe, I am not really sure if it is considered a metallic.  It is a sheerer teal polish with the most lovely purple shift in it!!!  It is really unique and unlike any polish I have personally seen!!  You can see in the macro how beautiful it is!!

Last but certainly not least we have Ultraviolet Sensation.  As the name applies it is a violet polish, which has the most beautiful golden shimmer throughout!  It is just gorgeous!  Can you see that golden shimmer.  It just goes perfectly with the violet!

What is my final verdict on Nails by Tataw you ask......she gets a big thumbs up from me.  I was blown away that she is so young with such a desire to have her own business and bring lovely polishes to the nail community.  This collection as a whole is nice especially if you love that metallic shine.  The standouts to my personal preference are Partying Teal Morning Ultraviolet Sensation and Lavender Voltage.  You can follow Victoria on Instagram HERE and you can go visit her website and store HERE.  This summer collection is available for presale on May30th.  Thanks for coming by and happy polishing!!! xoxo Jaime
