Emily de Molly June 2020 Releases - Swatches & Review


Emily de Molly recently celebrated their 8th birthday.  That seemed a little crazy to me originally because it really didn't seem that long.  But then I thought about it.  I really started collecting polishes back in late 2010 (only OPI at the point) and didn't really venture into the indie world until maybe 2012 which would have been when Emily de Molly start.  They were among the first brands I purchased so it really makes sense that they are 8 years.  Boy does the time go quickly.  Anyway, Emily de Molly have no signs of slowing down (yay!) so today I get to share with you their upcoming release.  I also have a couple of limited edition polishes which I will have on my blog Wednesday.  Heads up - this post is very picture heavy.  Right, let's look at these polishes shall we.


A New Place is a light grey base with pink/gold/green chrome flakes.  I'm a big fan of this one.  The base colour is nice and I love the flakies.  The formula is good and applies evenly.  For my swatch I used three coats, however you can stop at two coats.

Day To Day is a very pale brown with blue micro flakes.  I love how simple this polish is but it's so pretty.  The formula is amazing and applies like butter.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Distinct Lines is a berry pink base with metallic gold flakes and a silvery white magnetic effect.  This is a nice polish.  I like the colour, the gold glitters and the magnetic effect.  The formula is great and easy to use.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Hands Held High is a dusty pink base with very strong gold overlay.  This one is sooooo pretty!  The formula is easy to use and applies evenly.   I used three coats for my swatch, but you can stop at two coats.

One More Try is a dark purple base with green/blue/purple shifting foil type shimmer and orange/red shifting glitters.  I love the colours in this polish.  I did find the first coat of this polish was a little tricky (it was kinda dragging), however the second coat was really easy to use.  For my swatch I used three coats, but you can stop at two coats.

Only Us is a dark blurple base with blue iridescent flakes and pink/gold/green shifting shimmer.  Love this one.  It has a real wow factor to it as soon as it hits your nails.  I think it is so pretty and the formula is great and easy to use.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Open Work is a purple base with pink/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  Obsessed with this one!  It's so shifty and just amazing.  The formula is great and easy to use.  For my swatch I used three coats but you can stop at two coats.  I knocked a nail while it was wet so added the extra coat to fix it.

Stuck In The Clouds is a dark blue base with copper/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  Love this one as well.  I think I basically like everything with aurora shimmer.  At some point I need to create a section in my polish drawers just for things with aurora shimmer in them.  Anyway, the formula of this one is great and it applies easily.  For my swatch I used three coats.

Thereabouts is a dark but vibrant purple crelly with neon pink glitters. Another love of mine.  I think the colour is gorgeous and I love the glitter.  The formula is easy to use and has good glitter payoff.  I used three coats for my swatch.

I'm sure it will come as no surprise to hear me say that I love this month release.  There are sooooo many awesome shades and finishes.  I think there is definitely something in here for everyone.  My personal favourites are Open Work, Stuck In The Clouds, Thereabouts, Resort To Swim and Only Us.  Look at me narrowing them down!  It was hard but I did it!

The June releases will be available Thursday 11th June at 10am AEST from Emily de Molly's Australian site and Wednesday 10th June at 8pm EDT from the international site.
