Emily de Molly October 2020 Releases - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

I know that I am not the only person in the nail world that has been obsessing over Emily de Molly's jelly polishes with the white glitter in them.  We've seen it in a few different colours and there have been heaps of comments of "I wish there was this colour" or "we need ALL the colours".  Well Hayley has come through with the goods once again....a whole collection of white glittered polishes.

4th Chamber is a dark burgundy red jelly base with matte white glitters.  I love this one!  I think the colour is gorgeous and the formula is great.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Already Done is a dark blue jelly base with matte white glitters.  Another gorgeous colour that I love!  This polish also has a great and easy to use formula.  My swatch shows two coats.

Common Feature is a dark purple jelly base with matte white glitters.  Love this one too!  I'm sure I should have done a warning at the start of this post that I love this collection but I've started now so you will just have to sit through me telling you how much I love each of these polishes.  Anyway, love this one.  It's a great colour and has a great formula.  Again, I used two coats for my swatch.

Green Light is a dark emerald green base with matte white glitters.  I love how much glitter is in this one.  I honestly wasn't expecting it.  I'm not sure if it was just a luck of the draw or not but I definitely didn't fish for extra glitter or anything like that.  The colour is also cool and the formula is great.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Holy Water is a dusty blue crelly base with matte white glitters.  Love the colour of this one but it doesn't photograph 100% accurately.  It has a bit more of a greenish tone to it.  Anyway, it's gorgeous and the formula is great.  My swatch shows two coats.

Mantra is a dark teal green jelly base with matte white glitters.  This one does lean a little more green in person than in my pictures (why are teals so hard to photograph?) Anyway, I love this one.  Again the colour is stunning and the formula is fantastic.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Plain Sight is a steel blue crelly base with matte white glitters.  Big fan of the colour of this one.  It's so cool and the formula is terrible....not just joking.  It's great.  It's super easy to use and only needs two coats which is what I used for my swatch.

Return To Ash is a black jelly base with matte white glitters.  This one is so cool.  I was so happy to see this type of polish in black.  Seriously, it's so cool!  The formula is also great and easy to use.  My swatch shows two coats.

The Way I'm Wired is a mustard yellow (with green undertones) crelly base with matte white glitters.  This will come as no surprise that I am not a fan of this colour.  The formula is good and easy to use.  You can definitely stop at two coats except I knocked my nails so needed to add a third coat to even it back out.

This collection is amazing and I love it.  If I had to narrow it down I would say my favourites are 4th Chamber, Already Done, Common Feature, Holy Water  and Mantra.  Which ones are your favourites?

The October release will be available on Wednesday 21st October at 10am AEDT on Emily de Molly's Australian site and on Tuesday 20th at 7pm EST on the international site.

Grace-full Nail Polish Char-med (Polish Pick Up October 2020) - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

It's Polish Pick Up time again.  I swear the Polish Pick Up posts come closer and closer together.  It's crazy!  I feel like it wasn't that long ago that I was typing up September's releases.  Crazy.  Anyway, today I have the stunning polish from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you.

Char-med is a super shifty aurora shimmer that moves through red, orange and bronze with flashes of green and pink on certain angles.  I absolutely love this polish!  It's gorgeous and super shifty.  The formula is also great and applies evenly.  My swatch shows two coats.

I'm really not sure what else I can say about this polish other than it's a MUST HAVE!  You can thank me later.

Char-med will be available via the Polish Pick Up from October 2nd until October 5th.  This polish is capped to 90 (US) and 10 (UK) so I highly suggest you move quickly to grab yourself a bottle.

Grace-full Nail Polish Autumnal Pruglies Collection - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

Grace-full Nail Polish are back with another new collection but this is a little bit of an exciting collection.  This collection was inspired by a fan group member.  How cool is that?  If you aren't a member of the Grace-full facebook group then you definitely should be.  You can find the group here.  Anyway the Autumnal Pruglies collection features eight polishes in various finishes all in Autumnal colours.  Let's take a look shall we?

'Appily Ever After is a thermal that is brown/deep red at it's coldest and a chartreuse green at it's warmest.  I think this is a good colour for winter (well in it cold state) but in its warm state I am not a fan.  But that is just me.  The formula is great and easy to use.  It has a kind of jelly like consistency and is opaque in three coats.

Be-Leaf In Magic is a forest green crelly base with ultra chrome chameleon flakes in red/gold.  I quite like this one on the nails.  The formula is a little on the sheer side but it builds up nicely in three coats.

Evergreen Envy is a jelly teal coloured base with a smattering of holo flakes.  This one is really pretty and the formula is great.  I'm pretty sure I used two coats for this polish but I stupidly forgot to write it down in my notes so I can't be 100% sure.

Finally On Taupe is a taupe base with an orange aurora shimmer flash.  This one is gorgeous too.  Huge fan.  The formula is also great and really easy to use.  My swatch shows two coats.

Garnet Wine is a deep maroon shade that is not a creme but it's also not a jelly.  It falls somewhere in between.   The colour is great for winter and it's really glossy.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Mustard The Courage is a mustard colour linear holo.  This is not my colour at all.  The formula is great and easy to use.    I used three coats for my swatch but you can stop at two coats.

Pumpkin Or Another is a dirty pumpkin colour creme.  This one also isn't my type of colour but it could be great for Halloween nail art.  The formula is easy to use but I did find it to be a little on the sheer side.  I used three coats for my swatch.

This collection isn't my personal taste but there is definitely quite a few pretty shades in the mix.  

The Autumnal Pruglies Collection will be available on 26th September at 8pm AEST on Grace-full Nail Polish's Australian site and the international site.
