Cupcake Polish The Olympics Collection: Swatches & Review

Hi guys!

I know I promised you these swatches to be up last week but life got in the way.

This is Cupcake Polish The Olympics Collection that was made for the Summer Olympics 2016. So yeah, I'm a bit late with this review. It's  a six piece holo collection. I loved the names in this collection they are so clever!
They're all creme holos and they apply beautifully.

Let's take a look.

Row me to the Gold

Row me to the Gold is a golden yellow holo. It's pretty and bright. It's just that I don't like it on myself. I think it's nice in the bottle but when on my nails it just isn't that exciting. This is two coats and top coat.

Pool it Together

Pool it Together is an ocean blue holo. I really like this. The colour is so vibrant and bright. Two coats and top coat.

Not My Vault

Not My Vault is a muted orange. It's not as briht and vibrant as the others and has yellow undertone to it. It's nice but this is the one I like the least in the collection. It's not as vibrant or orange as I'd like it to be. Two coats and top coat.

I'm a Soccer for Green

I'm a Soccer for Green is a bright lime green holo. This my favourite. It's bright, fun and a perfect summer green. I love it. Two coats and top coat.

One in a Brazil-ion

One in a Brazil-ion is a strwberry red holo. This is beautiful. It's that perfect colour between red and pink. Two coats and top coat.

Track Me Down

Track Me Down is a black holo. It's super pretty. As most back holos this leans a little on the charcoal side of black. Two coats and top coat. 

Colors by Llarowe POTM July: I'll be at the Lake

Hi sweethearts!


Today I want to show you Colors by Llarowe I'll be at the Lake. 

I'll be at the Lake is a bright blue metallic with gorgeous turquoise, pink and purple shimmer and a subtle holographic effect. These pictures are taken in artificial lighting, which brings out the beautiful holo effect and turquoise shimmer. In indirect sunlight it looks almost multichrome , shifting between blue, pink and purple.
I found it to be a tad sheer. This is three coats and top coat. Otherwise the formula is great. I'ts completely self leveling and in no way streaky.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Color by LLarowe I'll be at the Lake and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.


 

Cupcake Polish Butterfly Collection: Swatches & Review

Hello!

Today I'll show you Cupcake Polih Butterfly Collection. It's a collectio containing six linear holographic polishes. It's a gorgeous collection and the holo is really intense. 
The colours are all beautiful and there's something for everyone in the collection.

Formula wise this colection was very consistent. They all have great formulas. The formula isn't too thick or too thin. It' supereasy to apply and there was no clean up needed. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that they were all a bit sheer. All of the colours needed three coats of polish for full coverage. 

Hatch of the Day

Hatch of the Day is a dusty medium pink linear holo. The colour is beautiful but not very unique. The holo effect is super vibrant and intense though, which gives the polish a little edge.
Three coats and top coat.

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a medium blue, leaning blurple, linear holo. It's such a vibrant, gorgeous, super holographic colour. One of my favourites from the Butterfly Collection.
Three coats and top coat. 

Cocoon

Cocoon is a rusty burnt copper linear holo. This wold be the perfect orange for fall. It's absolutely gorgeous. 
Three coats and top coat.

Transformation

Transformation is dusty violet linear holo. The colour is really pretty. It's a bit lighter in real life but this shade of purple was so ard for my camera to capture. The colour is nothing unique but the holo is really pretty and makes the polish look vibrant. 

Little Butterfly 

Little Butterfly is a emerald green linear holo. This one is brilliant. It's intense, vibrant and absolutely gorgeous. This is my favourite from the collection. I love it.
Three coats and top coat. 

Time to Fly

Time to Fly is a fuchsia linear holo. It's a gorgeous colour. It's so juciy and the holo adds a lot of depth. 
Three coats and top coat. 

Glam Polish Forever After - My Picks From the Collection

Hi darlings!

Today I'll show you my picks from Glam Polish new collection called Forever After. The collection contains twelve different colours. The nce I chose to buy were Enchanted Forest, Fairest of Them All, Her Own Kingdom, Someday My Prince Will Come and Slay the Dragon. However, all of the colours are beautiful and I wish I could've bought them all, I settled for these five.

I'll probably buy the rest. Not only because the colours are bright and beautiful but because of the names. I love fairy tales. They're my favorite type of stories. 


Enchanted Forest

Enchanted Forest is a bright jade holo with prismatic glitter. The colour is gorgeous. If you want a bright jade this is the one!
Two coats and top coat. 

Fairest of Them All

Fairest of Them All is a bright periwinkle holo with prismatic glitter. It's beautiful but incredible hard to photograph. It's slightly brighter and lighter in ral life than in my pictures.
Three coats and top coat. 

Her Own Kingdom

Her Own Kingdom is a bright hot pink scattered holo with prismatic glitter. This colour is so summery and vibrant.

Two coats and top coat.

Someday My Prince Will Come

Someday My Prince Will Come is a bright sky blue scattered holo with prismatic glitter. I just love the colour, it's so vibrant! 

Three coats and top coat.

Slay the Dragon

Slay the Dragon is a bright lime green leaning neon with a scattered holo and prismatic glitter. This is gorgeous. I love how bright it is, the perfect shade of green for summer.

Two coats and top coat.

The formula on all of these was great. It's thick but it to thick and applies like butter.  There was no need for clean up whatsoever. 

Most of the polishes only needed two thin coats for full coverage the exception being Fairest of Them All and Someday My Prince Will Come. They looked slightly streaky at two coats. 

The finish becomes semi matte and a tad textured so top coat is needed to make the finish shiny and smooth.
