Hi there, my darlings! The biggest shopping day of the year is coming up very, very soon and the indie polish world is a-buzz with lots of tempting goodies! So many new launches, so much to choose from! However can one narrow don the list?! Well. I hope swatches help because I'll be sharing lots this week! Starting off, let's talk about the launches that Laura of ellagee has planned! Starting Black Friday, November 25th, Laura will be launching her Cozy Winter Nights collection for Winter 2016. She will also be offering an exclusive polish through Cyber Monday AND there will be a bunch of deals to sweeten the deal! Keep reading for all the details!
The Cozy Winter Nights collection consists of 4 jellies packed with color shifting ultrachrome flakes, shimmer and a touch of holo. Talking about formula and application, all four jellies apply just beautifully--although fully opaque in 2 easy coats, I added a third for extra oomph! The swatches below show just 3 thin coats of each polish, topped with 1 easy coat of her Fast Dry Top Coat to finish the look. Now, on to swatches!

The Black Friday limited addition, Naughty List is described as "a sheer silver base full of shades of silver, gold, and copper microglitter". Not only is this a truly beautiful polish but seriously, how fun is that label?!

I also had the opportunity to try out ellagee's Clear Latex Lickety Split Mani Mask. This formula is ideal to use as a peel-off basecoat under those glitters. Not only does it dry really fast but removal is the easiest I've ever encountered--it literally slips right off! And this is with 3 coats AND topcoat! Perfect for swatching or if you love glitters but hate removal!

I love jellies and jellies with glitter so I'd love this entire collection. My faves are Aurora Borealis, Merry and Bright and Naughty List. How did you like the peel off base coat? I bought the one from OPI a couple of years ago but abandoned it because my mani would only last a couple of days if I used it. How does this one perform?

ReplyDeleteI really like that blue shade. I'm a fan of anything, really, if it's mattified.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredibly beautiful! Aurora Borealis is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThe Mani Mask is a must-have! It makes life so easy - where has this been when I've been scrubbing away at glitter bits on my nails?
ReplyDeleteOooh... that Gold sparkle is definitely my jam. These are gorgeous... I love all the swatches <3
ReplyDeleteOhhh that green!! There's nothing better than a great christmas shade this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThese all look great sparkly, but I think they look even more amazing matte!! And that base coat looks like a swatchers dream come true.
