Emily de Molly April 2021 Release - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

Happy Easter weekend everyone!  I'm still surprised at how quickly Easter has popped up this year.  But I am excited - bring on the chocolate!  The only thing that is better than chocolate is polish - which brings us to why you are here - to see the new polishes from Emily de Molly!

  
Begin At The End has an ultramarine blue base with orange/gold/green/blue shifting iridescent flakes.  I'm sure it comes as no surprise when I say that I looooooove this one.  The colour is gorgeous and I am obsessed with those flakies.  The formula is great and easy to use.  I used three coats for my swatch but you could stop at two coats (it is just a little see through at the tips for my liking).

Cloud My Vision is a dusty pale blue with a pink/orange/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  Now we all know that I am a huge fan of all things with aurora shimmer and this polish is no exception.  It's an absolutely stunning polish with a great formula.  For my swatch I used three coat.

Feels Pretty Real is a pale purple base with copper/gold/green shifting iridescent flakes.  This is definitely a pretty shade.  I did find it to be a little sheer on the first coat but it does build up.  For my swatch I used three coats.

Glances To Stares is a dark coloured base with metallic orange glitters, blue iridescent flakes and a green/blue/purple/red magnetic effect.  This is such a cool polish.  It's a great colour with a great shift.  I love it with the magnetic effect too!  For my swatch I used two coats.  I did make a note that it does need two coats of top coat but I'm not 100% sure if I used two coats or not in my swatches.

It's Never Enough is a bright cornflower blue base with a strong pink/copper/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  LOOOOOOOVE this one!  It's a gorgeous colour and of course I love the aurora shimmer.  It is a little on the sheer side but it applies evenly.  For my swatch I used three coats.

Just Like This is a rosy nude (warm) to blue (cold) thermal with a strong turquoise blue shimmer.  I personally prefer this one in the cold state than in the warm but it is still pretty in the warm state.  It transitions well between the states (and looks pretty when it's in between too).  I did find that this polish was a little sheer in the warm state so I used three coats for my swatch.

Might Be A Scene is a dark purple jelly base with orange to green shifting iridescent glitters, blue iridescent flakes and a copper/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  I love this one!  The base colour is gorgeous and I love the mix of glitters.  The formula is a little on the thicker side but it is easy enough to work with.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Taking Over is a light grey base with orange/gold/green shifting iridescent flakes.   This is another love of mine.  The colour is beautiful and I love the flakes.  They both just work so well together.  I did find that this was a little sheer on the first coat but did build up nicely.  I used three coats for my swatch.

How beautiful is this collection?  There are so many awesome shades.  My personal favourites are Taking Over, Begin At The End, It's Never Enough, Might Be a Scene and Cloud My Vision.  Yes I basically mentioned them all but I do love them!  I'll give myself some points for actually narrowing them done in the first place.

The April Releases will be available on Wednesday 7th April at 10am AEST from Emily de Molly's Australian site and on Tuesday 6th April at 8pm EDT on the international site.
