CUPCAKE POLISH Essential Oils collection: Swatches and Review




Hi there, my darlings! It is a beautiful, warm, sunshiny day in Toronto and I cannot be more thrilled! Yes, the weather is definitely part of it but today is a day of another reunion for ColorSutraa, namely with a beloved brand! I have loved Cupcake Polish so much that I was loath to part with a single polish when I had to move back to India--yes, I pretty much shipped ALL of them! And there they remain, safely ensconced in my family's rambling ancestral home in Calcutta. Alas! But, thank GOD for Sara and her penchant for new holos! Now that I'm officially back in the Western World, it's time to stock back up on my Cupcake stash...and help add to your wishlists too!


Today, I will be sharing my swatches and review of the soon-to-be-launched Essential Oils collection, 6 mega linear holos inspired by some of Sara's favorite essential oils. Before we get to swatches, let's take a minute to talk about the formula and application of these six holographic polishes. Across the board, as with just about every Cupcake in my stash, each applied smoothly and was perfectly opaque in just 2 easy coats. It's so good to know that some things just don't change! Unless specifically mentioned, the swatches below show 2 easy coats of each polish--that is all! These are some gorgeous polishes and there's something for everyone!


Sandalwood is described as a "nude super linear holographic nail polish". I usually prefer bold colors to nudes but a nude with this much holo?! Yes please!










With flash!




Lemongrass is described as a "chartreuse super linear holographic nail polish". 3 thin coats for this one, this is such a bright, fun, refreshing green! Much like its inspiration!










With flash!




Cinnamon is described as a "mauve red super linear holographic nail polish". Absolutely adore this shade! So up my alley!










With flash!




Lavender is described as a "silvery lavender super linear holographic nail polish". Isn't this THE perfect lavender shade?!










With flash!




Frankincense is described as a "chestnut brown super linear holographic nail polish". So much depth to this shade!










With flash!




Eucalyptus is described as a "mint green super linear holographic nail polish". My personal fave, this one is a chameleon! It wears more blue in some lights and more green in others. It's super gorgeous though in ANY light!










With flash!




So there you have it, my darlings! The Essential Oils collection will be launching this Thursday, May 3rd at 8 pm CDT/9 pm EDT on Cupcake Polish's website HERE for the price of $13 for a full-size, 0.5 oz bottle.

  2. I'm in love. I could spend every cent I have on indie polishes. I especially like Cinnamon and Lavender but I'd love Frankincense for fall too.

  4. So we know from your Facebook share that I TOTALLY thought these had Essential Oil in them and while that would have been cool and amazing, I'm totally not mad at these for not having them because the colors are so spot on and gorgeous how could one be mad? I would say that I wish Cinnamon had been more va-va-red than pink but the fact that Frankincense looks so freaking GORGEOUS makes up for it. I hope these will be available for awhile so that I can get the whole set in a few weeks!

  5. They have so much dimension! My fave is Frankincense but the Lavender and Eucalyptus are also my kind of shades.
