PRESS SAMPLE
Yes you have read the title correctly. It is that time of year where Christmas polishes are starting to roll out. I have a number of collections sitting in my polish room waiting for me to swatch them. And trust me when I say there are some stunning polishes coming for us this year. Today I am kick starting the holiday polish releases with Grace-full's Christmas 2015 Collection.
Christmas Rose is a rose gold holo with shimmer. Really pretty and the formula is great. This polish is actually a lot more holo in person than it looks in my picture. The sun kept doing a disappearing act on me whilst I was swatching. I used two coats for my swatch.

Silver And Gold has a holographic base with gold and silver flakies throughout. This is probably my favorite from this collection. It's super pretty and really sparkly (and who doesn't love sparkles during the holiday season?). Formula wise it is easy to use but the flakies can make removal very messy so careful application is recommended. My swatch shows two coats.

There are two tints (a red and a green) that have been made to go along with Silver And Gold to give it a different look. Personally I am not a fan of these. I have only swatched these and haven't used them for nail art so I can't comment on how they work for art. As for painting them on a full nail I found they applied unevenly and patchy. Plus they cover up the pretty polish. I tried applying these different ways and the result was still the same. I only have the green tint to share with you as the red wasn't the correct colour. Please see the Grace-full website for an actual swatch of the colour.

Starry Christmas has a deep green jelly base with green stars, gold and red holographic stars, gold holo squares and red and green microglitter. Now if this polish doesn't scream Christmas to you then I don't know what will. Formula wise I found it easy to use and I didn't need to fish for any of the stars which was good. I used three coats plus two coats of top coat for my swatch.

Stille Nacht is a deep blue jelly with a silver superholographic microglitter. Easy to use and super sparkly. Pictures probably don't do this polish justice. I used two coats for my swatch.

Vixen is a red/orange/coral jelly base with gold superholographic glitter. This is similar to Stille Nacht. The formula is easy to use and it is super sparkly. I used two coats for my swatch.

I think this collection has something for everyone, and the formulas are all easy to work with (with the exception of the tints). My personal favorites are Silver And Gold, Christmas Rose and Stille Nacht.
The Christmas 2015 Collection is being released Friday 6th November at 7pm and will be available from Grace-Full Nail Polish.
Amazing Christmas polishes. I love that glitter :-D
