Emily de Molly June 2016 Releases - Swatches & Review


Well, well look at me switching gears here.  This is my first blog post that isn't nail art related since January 5th.  That's right, that is fifteen days of non stop nail art.  There has been a mix of nail art challenges, nail vinyls and stamping plate reviews but now it's time for me to get back into swatching some of the polishes that I purchased last year.  I really want to get through these before I go back into buying season with all the new polishes that are going to be soon released. 

I have had these five Emily de Molly polishes waiting for me to swatch them since June last year.  How crazy is that?  There was actually six polishes released and I did manage to swatch one of them last year before I had a major break in my nail and was forced to take a break.   In case you missed the post with Quest For Immortality you can find it here.  This polish was actually in my favorites from last year.  It is such a gorgeous polish, I seriously love it!  Anyway, I should stop babbling and show you guys the other five polishes that were released in June last year.


Crystal Cavern is a lavender pink foil with gold/green/blue shifting shimmer.  This is a really pretty colour.  I couldn't stop looking at my nails when I wore this one.  The colour is a little on the sheer side.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Cubicle Gangster is a bright green creme with an orange overlay.  This is definitely unique in my collection.  It's not a favourite of mine but I still quite like it.  The formula is great and easy to work with.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Damaged Bills is a dark teal with overlay.  Another really pretty polish with an amazing formula.  My swatch shows two coats.

Hybrid Theory is a light blue strong holo with green to copper multichrome flakies.  OMG this polish is amazing!  I am so disappointed with myself that I haven't worn this until now.  Seriously Tracy? Why?  It's so stunning, and the formula is so easy to use.  I should also point out that is polish is a lot more holo than it looks in my sunshine pic.  I took that picture early in the morning so the sun wasn't as strong.  I stupidly forgot to take another picture when the sun was stronger.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Lunar Haze is a light green holo with very slight beige undertones and orange overlay.  It also has iridescent purple microflakes (which are visible in person but my camera didn't pick them up too well in my pictures).  This is another really pretty polish that would also make for a fantastic base from some nail art.  The formula is easy to use.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Emily de Molly really does make some of the best polishes in the business if you ask me.  I am such a HUGE fan, which really isn't new information.  You guys would probably already know that.  I'm definitely excited to see what Hayley has in store for us this year.  I'm just hoping my wallet can keep up.  Anyway, my personal favourites that were released in June 2016 were Quest Of Immortality (seriously check it out if you haven't!), Hybrid Theaor and Crystal Cavern.

All of these polishes are still available now from Emily de Molly's Australian site and I am guessing they are still available from the international site.  If not, check out one of Emily de Molly's stockists.

  1. Oh wow Tracy, these are stunning. I've no idea how you resisted them for this long. I love them all, I really wish I had your EDM collection! ;)

    1. They are truly gorgeous! I wish I could say I didn't know how I resisted them for so long but sadly the answer is very easy - I'm an idiot lol. That plus buying and being sent so much. I still have polishes from her September release to swatch. I am slowly getting my untrieds under control....I think.
