There have been quite a few individual polishes being released from Grace-full Nail Polish (Polish Pick Up, Hella Handmade Creations....) but it is time for a brand new collection! Woohoo! The Faraway Collection contains seven polishes in a range of finishes and is inspired by The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. Just a heads up before I dive into the swatches and review - this post is going to be quite picture heavy.

Angry Pixie is a red jelly with micro red metallic flakes. This polish has such a glow about it and the formula is amazing. My swatch shows two coats.

Dame Washalot is a off white crelly with teeny silver holo glitter and circle glitters in bright colours. I think this is such a cute and fun old school type of indie polish. This one does apply unevenly on the first coat, but evens out on the second and third. The glitters also come out easily, there is no fishing required! My swatch shows three coats.

Moonface is a champagne coloured metallic flake polish. Talk about BLING! If you loved Rosy Glow then you will love this one! My daughter does. She dived on it as soon as I opened the package and NEEDED her nails painted with it. The formula is easy to use but I do recommend a careful application as clean up with this one can be a little messy. I used two coats for my swatch.
Mr Watzisname is a teal jelly with ultra chrome chameleon flakies in navy, teal and blue with a sprinkling of micro holo glitter. I really like that added blue glitter in this one. It's really pretty. The formula is great and you can stop at two coats. I did do three coats only because I found it a little sheer at the tips for my personal taste.
Saucepan Man is a thermal that moves from dark to light grey, with silver flakes and silver holo glitter throughout. I really like this one - both when it's warm and cold. The formula is great and again you can get away with two coats with this polish, but I personally found it a little see through at the tips so I used three coats for my swatch.
Silky is a mint green holo with silver shimmer. This is such a pretty colour and the formula is great. I used two coats for my swatch.
The Tree is a multichrome that moves through aqua, cyan, purple and blue. You know I am a sucker for multichrome and this one has stolen my heart. It does show more colours than I could capture with my camera. It really is so much more shifty in person. The formula is great and applies evenly. I used three coats for my swatch (you can do two coats but it was a little bit see through for my personal taste).
How awesome is this collection? I think there is such a great mix of colours and finishes that there is definitely something in here for everyone. My personal favourites are Moonface, The Tree and Saucepan Man, closely followed by Silky and Mr Watzisname. I really need to try and cut back on my favourites don't I? It's just so hard when there are soooo many pretties!
The Faraway Collection will be available on May 25th at 8pm AEST on Grace-full Nail Polish's Australian site and international site.

Oh lord I can feel my wishlist & wallet groaning already! I can't say I've been a huge fan of Grace-full polish collections before (I think I've only liked polishes from 1 of them), but this collection has so many pretties I can't resist! I'm fangirling over Angry Pixie, Dame Washalot (I love the glitter colours in it), Moonface & The Tree. Silky isn't bad either & neither are the other 2, even though they're not quite to my taste. Great collection all around.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't been a huge fan of Grace-full polishes before? *insert shocked face* Grace-full are hands down one of my favourite brands! This is an awesome collection
