Last year Emily de Molly released a bunch of limited edition polishes on Black Friday. Naturally I had to grab them all (I am such a sucker for Emily de Molly polishes - they are always amazing). It's taken me quite some time to swatch them all but I have done it and have them all to share with you. I'll keep the chatting to a minimum seems there are quite a few to get through. Heads up - this post is very picture heavy! But these things can't be helped. There are a total of 15 polishes after all.

LE241 is a very pale purple holo. I love, love, love this one. It's a gorgeous colour and has a pink kinda sheen to it. The formula is great and applies evenly. For my swatch I used two coats.

LE242 is is a dark purple with a subtle holo. This is another love of mine. The colour is beautiful and the formula is amazing. You can get away with one coat but I used two for my swatch.

LE243 is a dark purple with blue/purple iridescent flakes and a lighter purple magnetic effect. I really like this one but this is one of those polishes that I think looks better in person than it does in photos. The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

LE245 is a really dusty purple with a gold overlay. Love the colour and the gold overlay in this one. The formula is also really easy to use. I used two coats for my swatch.

LE246 is a dusty blue with subtle pink shimmer and gold flakes. Love this one! I really like that shimmer and that there is gold flakes instead of iridescent ones. It gives it a slightly different look. The formula is great and easy to use although I did find it to be a little on the sheer side (for me). I used two coats for my swatch but I do question if I should have done a third coat.

LE247 is a bright blue base with pink to green shifting iridescent flakes and silver holographic micro glitters. I loooove this one too (sorry I am turning into a broken record at this point but I stand by what I say). The colour is beautiful and so it the flakes and glitter and it is sooooo sparkly. The formula is great and easy to use. My swatch shows two coats. I did note that one longer nails it may need a third coat.

LE249 is a dark teal green base with metallic silver flakes and silver holographic micro glitters. Another really pretty polish with a great formula. For my swatch I used two coats. On short nails you could get away with one coat.

LE250 is a bright green crelly base with neon yellow and hot orange matte glitters. This is a really fun polish. It's a good base colour (although doesn't photograph accurately) and I am a big fan of the glitters. The formula is great and doesn't require any fishing or placement of the glitter. My swatch shows two coats.

LE251 is a very dark red base with red to orange shifting shimmer. I love this one! It's stunning! I can see the shift in the bottle really easily but couldn't really see it on my nails. The formula is awesome and you could get away with one coat but I used two coats for my swatch.

LE252 is a bright pink (hot) to dark mauve pink (cold) thermal with blue shimmer. Big fan of this one. It looks great when it warms (which is my favourite) and cold and transitions well. Formula is good but it a little sheer in the warmer state. I used three coats for my swatch.

LE254 is a dusty mauve with iridescent flakes and green to pink shifting shimmer. I am a little on the fence with this one. I don't love the colour but I don't hate it either. The formula is good and is opaque in two coats.

LE255 is a dark red base with olive gold foil type shimmer and a pinkish/silver magnetic effect. This is a really nice colour with a great formula. I personally prefer it without the magnetic effect. For my swatch I used two coats.

Wow! This has definitely been the biggest blog post I have done in a very long time. But how awesome are these polishes? There are sooooo many amazing ones. Not entirely sure how I am going to fit them all in my polish drawers though. I definitely need to buy another set and reorganise my collection.
I'm not entirely sure which of these are still available or not but it's definitely worth checking out Emily de Molly's websites for them.
