Emily de Molly August 2015 Releases & COTM - Swatches & Review

Emily de Molly recently released six new polishes (she even more recently released some new stamping polishes but I haven't ordered these yet) and while I had some time and sunshine I thought it would be the perfect time to swatch them.  So without further ado let's jump in.

Great And Small is this month's Charity Of The Month (COTM) polish and $4 from every bottle sold goes to the ACT Animal Rescue.  I know I have mentioned this before, but I am such a huge fan of this idea so have no problems with ordering the polish every month - particularly this one.  Great And Small is a gorgeous dusty blue/purple holo with pink shimmer.  It is easy to use, although it is slightly on the thin side so needs three coats to be opaque.

Ambitious Flower is a red base purple with silver and pewter holo.  No surprise that I love this one.  The formula is fantastic and only requires two coats to be opaque.

Copper Patina is a medium shade green with strong red to gold duochrome shimmer.  So unique and a little tricky to photograph.  The formula is great and it only requires two coats to be opaque.

Cracks In The Wall is a light brown/grey base with silver and pewter holo.  I love this one.  The formula is great, although a little on the sheer side.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Fruitcake In August? is a dark brown jelly with gold, silver, copper and multi coloured glitters.  This really does remind me of fruit cake.  It is easy to use and has a great amount of glitter.  No fishing required.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Sleep Walking is a dark blue holo with green shimmer.  Really pretty blue.  Now this one only needs two coats to be opaque, but I stupidly knocked a couple of nails so I needed the third coat to fix it.

I'm a big fan of this month's releases.  If you can't get them all my personal picks would be Great And Small, Ambitious Flowers and Cracks In The Wall.
