Dance Legend Hip Hop (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Today's post has definitely been a long time in the making.  I feel like I have had these polishes to swatch sitting in my rack for years (definitely hasn't been that long but it has been a while).  Anyway, today I have the last of the Dance Legend polishes I was sent to swatch to share with you.  So without further ado, let's look at three of the Hip Hop Collection.

No Diggity is described as a blue jelly with some duochrome micro shimmer shifting from pink to purple, as well as turquoise, blue and purple-pink metallic flakes.  I really like the base colour of this but it kinda hinds the flakes a little too much.  The formula is great and it applies evenly.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Purple Swag is described as a dark purple jelly with gold micro shimmer and a mix of green, gold, pink, purple and blue multichrome metallic flakes.  Great colour and the flakes are so pretty.  The formula is a little patchy on the first coat but evens out on the second.  My swatch shows two coats.

Shimmy Shimmy Ya is described as a clear based top coat filled with holographic particles and multicoloured duochrome metallic flakes.  This is a great topper!  I think it would look great over so many different base colours.  I could quite decide what to use it over so I went with black.  My swatch shows one coat over black.

The Hip Hop Collection is available now from Dance Legend.

Dance Legend Taupe and Graphite Stamping Polishes - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

I'm back with some more swatches from Dance Legend.  I have previously tried a few of their stamping polishes (and they are great) so when I was offered the chance to swatch some new ones I said yes.  These are definitely the type of colours that are perfect for the cooler months - like Winter which is exactly what it is in Melbourne.  It's dark, it's cold and it's wet currently.  Not fun.  But you aren't here to listen to me talk about the weather.  Let's talk about these polishes.  For each of my swatches I used a black and white creme for my base and the Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend Stamping Plate.

Graphite is a dark grey stamping polish with a purple undertone.  I am a big fan of this colour and it stamps well over black and white.

Taupe is a light greenish grey stamping polish with a slight beige undertone.  This one leans more green than I was hoping it would.  It's not what I would consider to be taupe but it's definitely unique to my collection.  As you can see by my index nail this polish has started to separate which I couldn't tell from the outside of the bottle.  It was also the forth nail I stamped so it was a little strange that it did that then and not on any of the other nails.  That said, it easily mixes back together again.

I quite like both of these polishes.  Of the two Graphite is definitely my favourite.  They both stamp well although I do recommend mixing them before you start stamping to avoid what happened to me.

These stamping polishes are both available via Dance Legend.

Dance Legend Binary Fall 2019 (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Daylight Savings ended for us on the weekend and I'm struggling to adjust to how dark things are at the moment.  That probably doesn't have anything to do with Daylight Savings but more the fact that we have had cold and wet weather for the last few days.  It's been getting so cold that I have had to turn our heater on already.  Definitely not looking forward to winter.  But with the colder weather I am kinda liking the idea of breaking out some of the darker polishes....or these types of colours from Dance Legend Binary Fall 2019 Collection.

LE25 Ella is described as a greyish beige creme with a green undertone.  I like this colour in the bottle but I am not convinced I like it on my nails.  Maybe with some nail art over the top it would be better for me.  With that said the formula is fantastic!  You could get away with using one coat but I used two coats for my swatch.

LE26 Inessa is described as a dusty olive green creme with a beige undertone.  This one is definitely much better on me and perfect for the cooler weather.  The formula is fantastic and is close to being a one coater.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Both of these polishes are good polishes and the formulas are fantastic.

The Binary Fall 2019 Collection is available now from Dance Legend.

Dance Legend Step Winter 2020 (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

One of the things about swatching for various brands at the same time is I end up with a mixed range of "seasons".  I don't know about you guys but I don't tend to wear summer polishes only in summer and winter polishes in winter.  What I wear on my nails very much depends on what I am swatching and always whatever I am feeling at the time.  I'm getting side tracked here.  Today I have two of the polishes from Dance Legend's Step Winter 2020 Collection to share with you.

LE67 is described as a muted purple jelly with a mix of multichrome shimmer, holographic particles and blue-purple metallic particles.  This is such a pretty shade and the formula is great.  You could get away with one coat - especially if you have short nails.  For my swatch I used two coats.

LE69 is described as a jelly base with an almost transparent with a slight pink tint but it does add some colour to your nails because of the duochrome blue shimmer which also shifts to turquoise and pinky-purple, depending on the angle.  I think this polish is really pretty.  The formula is easy to use but it is sheer.  For my swatch I used three coats.

Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend Winter 2020 (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Hello!  How is everyone doing?  I hope everyone is staying safe and has been able to buy the things they need.  I don't know about anywhere else but I know my local area the supermarkets are so empty and things are really hard to find.  I was very lucky today and managed to finally get my hands on some toilet paper, some glycerine and acetone!  Yay for being able to make some nail polish remover again.  I have a lot of new things to swatch at the moment.  Starting with Dance Legend.  I received quite a few polishes and stamping things to play with so expect to see those over the coming weeks.  Today I have two polishes from the Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend Winter 2020 Collection to share with you.

Adamant is described as a holographic with multi chrome metallic flakes which change from a purpleish blue to raspberry red and gold.  I am always a sucker for holo and flakes together and I love this one - especially in the sunshine.  It is a quite sheer so personally I would use a base colour underneath but you can build it up enough to remove the visible nail line in three coats (which is what I used for my swatch).

Lilalit is described as a neutral greyish-purple base with multi coloured flake particles and bright duochrome shimmer shifting from raspberry red to golden green.  This is such a pretty polish too.  The formula is awesome and so close to being a one coater.  For my swatch I used two coats.

I am such a fan of both of these polishes but if I could only pick one I would definitely pick Adamant.

Dance Legend Step Holo (Part) Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Today I have the final two polish I was sent to review from Dance Legend.  These polishes are from the recent released Step Holo Collection.  There are six limited edition holographic polishes in this collection all in muted, dusty colours which are perfect for Autumn/Winter.  Let's take a look at the two I have.

LE36 is described as a deep pink with holographic flakes mixed with pearly silvery pink shimmer that adds a metallic sheen to finish.  I think this is a great colour for the cooler months and the formula is easy to use.  For my swatch I used two coats.

LE38 is described as a blue-purple with a grey undertone and duochrome microshimmer that shifts from gold to magenta.  Again, I really like this one.  The colour is fantastic (especially for this time of year) and the formula is great.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Anna Gorelova By Dance Legend OWL In Love 2019 Collection - Swatches & Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Today I have some more of the Dance Legend polishes I was sent to swatch and review - this time I have three polishes from Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend OWL In Love 2019 Collection.  Now I thought that this collection had more polishes in it but looking in to it now it appears there are only three polishes.  Each of these polishes are gorgeous!

If is described as a a sky blue with a slight green tinge and a touch of grey that gives it a muted look, and it filled with a soft pearly blue glow and a scattering of holographic sparks.  I love this one!  It is is even better in person.  I think the colour is gorgeous as well as that sheen and the holo.  The formula is a little patchy and sheer on the first coat.  I used three coats for my swatch.

Or is described as a reddish pink jelly base with a copper sheen and fine holographic particles.  I'm a huge fan of this one!  It's a great colour with an amazing shift.  The formula is easy to use and applies evenly.  I used three coats for my swatch, however you can stop at two coats.  I just found them a little too see through at the tips for my personal taste.

When is described as a purple base that is filled with holographic flakes, pink micro shimmer and larger greenish blue and raspberry red particles.  I also love this on!  The colour is gorgeous and the formula is fantastic.  My swatch shows two coats.
