Grace-full Nail Polish Modern Vampires Collection - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

Grace-full Nail Polish are back with another new collection!  The Modern Vampire collection is the second vampire collection from Grace-full and it consists mainly of holos (which I was dreading swatching - holos in Melbourne's winter is never fun but I managed to find some little pockets of sunshine luckily).  This eight piece collection is inspired by Twilight and Vampire Diaries.

   
Alice is a rich teal linear holo with aurora shimmer that shifts to blue.  I love this one.  It's such a gorgeous colour and the formula is amazing!  You can get away with one coat but I used two coats for my swatch.

Bella is a red/deep pink jelly base with colour shifting flakies in red, gold and pink.  Another gorgeous colour and the only non holo polish in this collection.  The formula is great and easy to use but she is very pigmented so clean up can be quite difficult.  My swatches show two coats.

Caroline is a linear holo in deep purple with a subtle blurple shift.  The aurora shimmer leaves a smooth pretty finish in the shade and with the sun the holo sparkles.  No surprise that I love this one!  The colour is gorgeous and the formula is amazing.  You can get away with one coat but I used two for my swatch.

Damon is a blue/red duochrome linear holo.  Love this one too!  The shift is definitely there in person but it's hard to capture.  The formula is also fantastic and you could get away with one coat.  My swatch shows two coats.

Edward is a rich deep maroon linear holo.  Just to repeat myself here - this is another gorgeous colour with another fantastic pretty much one coat formula.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Elena is a deep pink linear holo with aurora shimmer.  Love, love, love! *insert repetitive comment about being a gorgeous colour with an amazing formula*.  My swatch shows two coats.

Jasper is a green linear holo that shifts between olive green to forest green.  I don't recall seeing a shift in this one but I also did swatch these a little while ago so maybe I just have forgotten it?  Not too sure.  But the colour is nice and the formula is great (again you can get away with one coat).  My swatch shows two coats.

Stefan is a dark brown linear holo with shimmer.  Again, this one is a nice colour with a great formula.  My swatch shows two coats, but you can stop at one coat.

I am a big fan of this collection.  The colours are great and the formulas are fantastic.  I'm definitely not a fan of swatching holos in winter.  Aside from struggling to find sunshine it's also not the great sun (as you can tell from my pictures) so I do apologise for that.  Blame Theresa for releasing holos in winter haha.

The Modern Vampire Collection will be available on July 30th at 8pm AEST from Grace-full Nail Polish's Australian site and the international site.
