Well looking at me blogging again. I have to say that I am not a fan of this new blogger set up at all. Hopefully it is just a matter of I need to get use to it but for now it is definitely a lot more time consuming to blog (and time isn't my friend lately - which is a reason why I am blogging less). Anyway, today I have the upcoming collection from Grace-full Nail Polish called Super Secret Boy Band +1 to share with you. This collection is inspired by Marvel's league of superheroes, The Avengers.
Capsicle is a purple/blue aurora shimmer base with red and gold chameleon flakes. This is such a nice colour and those flakes. The formula is easy to use but I did find that it was a little sheer on the first coat. It does build up nicely on the second coat which is what I used for my swatch.

Jolly Green is a linear and scattered holo. It has a chrome base with aurora shimmer in gold/green that casts a green shift over the polish and has chameleon flakes in green and gold. This is a great colour. I really love the holo. Like with Capsicle it is a little sheer on the first coat but builds up on the second coat. My swatch shows two coats.

King Of The Dead is a black jelly base with crystal chameleon flakes in violet/green/pink/gold and a sprinkle of holo flakes. I love the flakes in this one! They are so beautiful. The formula of this one is great and easy to use. For my swatch I used two coats.

Legolas is a super shifty aurora base in a green/teal/navy/purple base. It has crystal chameleon flakes in purple, copper, green and pink as well as chrome chameleon flakes in green/purple/cyan. Another pretty polish. I really like how different this one looks depending on the lighting/angle. The formula is great and easy to use. I used two coats for my swatch.

Point Break is a topper with holo flakes and a shifty blue aurora shimmer. I love this! I was debating whether to wear it over black but there was something telling me to go for a dark blue and I am so happy I did. It's gorgeous and has a great shift to it. For my swatch I used one coat over China Glaze First Mate.

Tony Stank is a deep red full of aurora shimmer. I love this one! It's gorgeous! Am I become a red polish girl? Hmmm....anyway, love this! I do wish the shimmer looked more like it does in the bottle when it's on the nail but it is still so beautiful. The formula is awesome. In a pinch you could get away with one coat but I used two coats for my swatch.

Triple Imposter is a aurora shimmer that moves through shades of burgundy, pink and purple. This is a really pretty and shifty shade but boy did I have such a hard time capturing it. I have no idea why but it just wasn't happening. Formula wise it is great. It's easy to use and applies evenly. My swatch shows two coats.

Underoos is a silver scattered holo with chameleon flakes in red/gold and blue/teal. I am a big fan of holo bases with flakes. They are just so pretty. The formula of this one is easy to use but it is a little on the sheer side so I needed three coats for my swatch.

This is such a good collection with a good mix of colours and finishes. I am a fan of each of the shades. My personal favourites are Point Break and Triple Imposter.
