Today I am excited to share with you the recently released Autumn/Winter Metallic Collection from Ulta3. I have seen a couple of people mention that these are a textured collection, but I haven't seen any marketing from Ulta3 that says that they are meant to be textured, only metallics. That being said, these can be worn as a textured polish if you desire but I don't find that they give the same textured look or gritty feeling as an OPI Liquid Sand (they are the only textured polishes I have tried so it's all I can compare it too).
The formulas of this collection I found are really easy to work with and either need two or three coats to be opaque. I did find that they were quite slow drying which was a bit of a surprise for me. Normally I find the fine glitters dry a lot quicker.
24 Carat Gold is a clear based polish that is filled with gold and silver microglitters. Really pretty and sparkly. I think this would look pretty layered over other polishes too. I used three coats for my swatch.

Black Quartz is a black based polish with fine silver glitters. This polish dries quicker than some of the others in the collection and is opaque in two coats.

From The Mine is a clear based with copper, gold and silver microglitters. This polish is definitely unique in my collection. I found that this one also didn't dry as slow as other in this collection, but it was still slower to dry than Black Quartz. I used three coats for my swatch.

Galaxy is a grey based polish with gold and silver microglitters. The mix of colours give it kind of a greenish look to it. It's really pretty and quite unique in my collection. This one also appears to dry the quickest of the collection. I used two coats for my swatch.

I quite like this collection of polishes. It is particularly great for those starting there polish collections seems they are at such an affordable price (RRP $3). My absolute favorite is Galaxy from this collection.
