Emily de Molly November 2019 Releases - Swatches & Review

Saturday 2 November 2019


I have been holding onto my swatches and review of this month's Emily de Molly's for what feels like a million years.  While it definitely hasn't been a million years I have definitely had these polishes for a little while and I am beyond excited to be able to share them with you.  So before I start babbling on lets just get into the swatches shall we?


Dark Topic is a dark teal green base with silver holographic micro glitters and green to purple shifting iridescent flakes.  I love the colour and the flakes in this but like with all teals they don't play nicely with my camera so my swatches aren't 100% accurate (or perhaps that depends on your screen).  In person this polish isn't any where near as blue as it looks in my pictures.  The formula formula is great and applies evenly.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Diamond Eyes is a silver holographic mirco flakes in a clear base with a violet overlay.   LOVE this one!  It's gorgeous and so sparkly!  The formula is great but I did find it to be a little on the thicker side but not in a bad way.  It's glitter packed and easy to use.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Euro Trip is a dark pink base filled with iridescent shifting flakes.    This is one of those polishes that looks like it changes colours but it really just depends on the lighting.  I love the flakies in this one too.  Like with all EdM polishes, the formula is great and easy to use.  My swatch shows three coats.

Expert Opinion is a dark blurple base with silver holographic micro flakes and a silvery purple magnetic effect.  I love everything about this polish.  It looks great both with and without the magnetic effect and the formula is great.

Light The Way is a pale purple/grey base with a fine particle copper/gold/green aurora shimmer.  I love, love, love, LOVE this one!  The colour is gorgeous, and the shifts are amazing!  The formula is fantastic and applies evenly.  I think this polish is even better in person (but in all honestly most polishes are).  I used three coats for my swatch.

Past Worth Saving is a silver holographic micro glitters in a grey base with a fine particle copper/gold/green shifting aurora shimmer.  Hayley has written that this polish may require two coats of top coat for a smooth finish but I made no notes of using two coats so I'm pretty sure I only used one so I guess it will come down to your top coat.  In terms of the polish I am sure it won't come as a surprise that I love this one.  The colour and shift are gorgeous and the formula is great.  While you can get away with two coats, I used three for my swatch.

Reruns is a pale dusty purple base filled with iridescent shifting flakes.  I quite like the colour of this one and the flakies but I did find it a little on the sheer side (especially on the first coat).  For me I would definitely use this over a base colour next time.  The formula is easy to work with and applies evenly.  For my swatch I used three coats.

Twenty Questions is a neon sky blue base with a fine particle copper/gold/green aurora shimmer and silver holographic micro glitters.  Another gorgeous polish that I love!  The formula is great and applies evenly.  My swatch shows three coats.

It feels so good to be able to share these.  How gorgeous are they?  It's an awesome release!  I'm not sure I can pick favourites again with this release.  I am seriously going to struggle to narrow down my favourites at the end of the year.

The November releases will be available Tuesday 5th November at 10am AEDT from Emily de Molly's Australian site and on Monday 4th November at 6pm EST on the international site.
