Glam Polish IT Collection - Swatches & Review


Who here is a fan of the movie IT?  I can't say that I am, but not because I think it's scary or anything like that.  I have never actually seen the movie.  All I know about it is there is a scary clown, and a girl with a yellow raincoat and a red balloon.  Have you seen the movie?  Glam Polish definitely have (well I assume they have) and have made a polish collection called the IT Collection.  There are ten polishes in total in a range of colours and finishes and I get to share them with you today.  Just as a word of warning, this post is going to be quite picture heavy.


Beep Beep Richie! is a bright green with unicorn shimmer, iridescent flakies and fine holo microglitter.  This polish freaks my camera so my pictures aren't entirely colour accurate.  The lighting also made the polish look like a completely different colour on camera, however there really isn't that much variation in person.  I found the formula of this polish really sheer in terms of the colour pay off.  I used three coats for my swatch and as you can see you can still the tips of my nails.  For me, this polish definitely needs a base colour because I can't stand seeing visible nail lines etc.

Dead Lights is a copper/green/gold multichrome holo with unicorn shimmer and ultra holo glitter.  I love this one!  The colour shifts are gorgeous and it looks so good in various lighting.  The formula is easy to use and applies evenly.  My swatch shows three coats, however on shorter nails you can stop at two coats.

Don't You Want A Balloon? is a teal crelly with multichrome flakies and ultra holo glitter.  This polish gives me old school indie vibes.  You really don't see too many crellies these days.  The formula is good, although it is a little one the sheer side for me.  I would use a base colour next time.  My swatch shows three coats.

Hiya, Georgie! is a yellow jelly holo with ultra holo glitter.  This isn't my type of colour but I can understand why it is in this collection.  The formula is easy to use but a little on the sheer side.  My swatch shows three coats.

I'll Kill You All! is a dark teal jelly with iridescent flakies, unicorn shimmer and fine holo microglitter.  I really like the base colour and love the flakies in this polish.  It's so pretty!  The formula is good and applies evenly.  I used two coats for my swatch, however I really should have done at least another coat.  As you can see it is still really sheer at the tips of my nails.

Kiss Me, Fat Boy! is a vampy red jelly with unicorn shimmer, iridescent flakies and fine holo microglitter.  As you may know, I am not the biggest fan of red polishes in general, but I quite like this one.  It looks so pretty with the glitter and flakies.  The formula is good and applies evenly.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Pennywise The Dancing Clown is a purple crelly with rainbow multichrome flakes and ultra holo glitter.  This is such a nice colour and I like the glitters in it.  It is a little on the sheer side for my personal taste.  I used three thick coats for my swatch.

The Losers' Club is a grey crelly holo with ultra holo glitter.  This one has such a good sparkle to it.  The formula is good and easy to use.  I used three coats for my swatch.

We All Float Down Here! is described as a holo base with ultra holo glitter, fine holo glitter and rainbow multichrome flakies.  I honestly thought that this polish was a topper and not a polish that is intended to wear on it's on.  It's super sheer and based on my swatch sticks I would be guessing you would need at least four coats to build it up (unless you sponge it on).  For me, this polish makes a great topper.  I love the mix of holo and flakies.  My swatch shows one coat over black.

Your Worst Dream Come True is a deep indigo jelly with iridescent flakies, unicorn shimmer and fine microglitter.  In the bottle this looks like I'll Kill You All! but that changes when they are on the nails.  I think the colour is great and I love the flakies (I'm such a sucker for flakies).  The formula is great and easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Overall, I really like the colours and finishes in this collection.  I do wish that the polishes weren't as sheer as they are.  I think that is the one let down for me.  My personal favourites are Dead Lights and We All Float Down Hard.  Which ones are your favourite/s?
