PRESS SAMPLE
This year has been one of the longest yet quickest years to date. It's certainly been a crazy year that's for sure. And speaking of crazy - we are so close to Christmas which means we will start seeing Christmas everywhere! I know we have Christmas foods in the supermarket, and there is Christmas stuff popping up online (because our stores are still closed here in Melbourne) and now Grace-full Nail Polish are bring Christmas to my nails. Woohoo! Let's take a look at all the Christmas goodness...
Aussie Xmas is a fluro pink crelly filled with matte neon glitters. This is a super fun polish. I love the base colour and the glitters. The formula is great and easy to use. You don't need to go fishing for glitters and there is a good amount that comes out. For my swatch I used two coats.

Christmas Dust is a topper filled with gold and red/orange aurora shimmer and holo flakes. Sooooo, funny story. Just before I swatched this collection I asked Theresa if there was anything in this collection that was a topper etc. She said yes but couldn't remember at the time what the name was. Anyway, I thought it was the other gold glitter in this collection but it turns out that this is the topper. That said, I am happy to report that it does build up nicely in three coats (which is what I used for my swatch). I haven't worn it as a topper but I really like it on it's own. It is sheer on the first coat but builds nicely.

Eve Magic is an indigo jelly with crystal colour shifting flakes in pink/violet/green/gold and holo flakes. This will probably come as no surprise but I love this polish. The colour is gorgeous and so are the flakies. Formula is great and easy to use. You can stop at two coats but I used three for that extra squishy flakie goodness.

Evergreen Garland is a deep green filled with aurora shimmer. Super pretty polish that would look great with some Christmas nail art. I did find it to be a little one the sheer side on the first coat but it builds up nicely on the second. I did use three coats for my swatch but you don't need it.

Glittery Christmas is a cobalt blue jelly with mini holo silver snowflakes, shades of blue holo glitter and micro iridescent glitters. This is such a beautiful, sparkly, squishy polish - I love it! The formula is easy to use but the snowflake glitters can be a little tricky to get out. There are some more snowflakes within the layers but I don't think there quite show up in my pictures. Anyway I used three coats for my swatch.

Hasta La Vista 2020 is a super holographic micro glitter in silver, gold and copper. This is definitely the perfect polish for New Year/the festive season. It's sooooo sparkly and is so beautiful. Now this is the polish that I thought was the topper so I swatched it over white (and I also swatched it by itself). Personally I prefer it by itself. It is easy to use and builds up in two coats.

I really love the mix of both colours and finishes that are within this collection. There is definitely something for everyone. My personal favourites are Eve Magic, Hasta La Vista 2020, Aussie Christmas and Glittery Christmas....I think. Oh picking favourites is always so hard.
