Bow Nail Polish Out Of Space (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review


Along with the Dance Legend polishes I received a couple of weeks back, I also received some of Bow Nail Polish's Out Of Space Collection.  This collection consists of twenty one polishes, which feature flakies, multichromes and holos in various colours. I have actually swatched and reviewed four of these polishes back in February (you can check out that post here if you are interested).  Today I have seven more of the Out Of Space polishes to share with you.  Just as a word of warning, this post is quite picture heavy.


Burning Bridges is a grey-green base with iridescent pink, copper, orange and green shimmer.  This polish also shifts to gold-bronze and has a scattering of holo.  This is a really interesting polish.  I wasn't too sure how much I would like in when I first put it on but I honestly couldn't stop staring at my nails all day.  The formula is easy to use but is on the sheer side.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Cold Hearts is a duochrome that shifts between a silvery pink to grey-green, and has fine scattered holo throughout.  Quite pretty.  The formula is a little sheer on the first coat but builds up in two coats.  It is still slightly see through at the tips in direct light.

Drown is a blue jelly with blue and green flakies and holo.  The formula of this one is a little tricky to work with.  I found that the polish would drag if you applied polish in the same spot so I definitely recommend minimal brush strokes.  The polish is also quite sheer but it is so pretty.  I used three coats for my swatch.

My Herione is a grey-purple (with a blue midtone) jelly base with a duochrome shimmer that shifts from raspberry pink to gold.  Really pretty.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Northern Lights is a bright azure metallic duochrome that shifts to blue-violet and has scattered holo glitters.  This polish screams mermaid to me.  It's stunning.  The formula is easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.  I should note that this polish is labelled as "Nothern Lights" but I am not sure if that is a typo or not.

Skies Fall has a gray-purple jelly base and shimmer that shifts from bright blue to purple and crimson.  The formula of this one is also a little tricky to work with so I recommend minimal brush strokes on the first coat.  The second and third coats apply well.  The colour shift of this polish is fantastic, although I didn't quite have the right lighting to be able to capture the purple shift.  It is definitely visible in person.  My swatch shows three coats.

Swamp has a muted dark purple/grey base, holographic glitter and shimmer that shifts from green-blue to purple-pink.  Another pretty polish.  The formula is a little sheer by builds up nicely.  My swatch shows three coats.

Did you make it to the end of this post?  Sorry it was so long but I really struggled to cut it done.  These polishes are all really pretty with great colour shifts.  The holo is also definitely more visible and pretty in person than what it shows in my pictures.  I really like them all.

The Out Of Space Collection is available from Dance Legend (with international shipping).

    1. Burning Bridges really took me by surprise. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do but it is just so interesting. I couldn't stop looking at my nails when I wore it. <3
