Enchanted Polish and Picture Polish comparison

Happy Wednesday! Hope you're having a great day so far! I have another Enchanted polish to show you today, along with a Picture Polish shade that is full of the same color shifts! In this mani, I am wearing Ciao Milano by Enchanted Polish and Aurora by Picture Polish. 

Ciao Milano is a clear glitter topper with a color shift from turquoise to purple and even some blue and gold in just the right light.

Aurora is a complicated little polish to explain...it's tone on tone the same color as Ciao Milano, but the formula and coverage is different. I guess it is best described as a very sheer multichrome polish. The glitter that composes this polish is so teeny that it's hard to tell that it's glitter at all. Also, in the mix, there are larger pieces of glitter like those in Ciao Milano. 

Upon first examination, I thought that these two colors would look identical. I decided to start with a base of a very dark purple, and then layered these two lovely polishes over the top. Let me tell you...they are very similar, yet VERY different.

I can't even begin to explain my love for both of these colors. I mean, Aurora says "mind blowing" right on the bottle! In my pics I have on two coats of Sinful Colors "Inkwell" and two coats each of the Enchanted and the Picture Polish.

 I love that these colors all work together, but have a slightly different texture. I have been wearing this mani since Monday, and I love it so much I don't want to take it off!

What's not to love about that???

This next picture is definitely not meant to have mesmerizing quality, I just wanted to show you how shifty these colors are! That's what I love so much about multichrome polish, you get all kinds of color, in one bottle.

Yep, thats the Enchanted and Picture Polish. It's in my living room without any light shining directly on it. You can really see that magenta/purple/gold shift, can't you? 

I hate to tell you, but these colors aren't the easiest to get your hands on but you can sign up for the Enchanted Polish newsletter at enchantedpolish.bigcartel.com. You can keep up with Picture Polish via Facebook and Instagram too!

Thanks for checking in! Have a fabulous day!

Enchanted Polish - Bonjour Paris

Bonjour! Happy Monday! I have my second Enchanted Polish to show you today. Maybe you're aware, and maybe you're not...but typically, Enchanteds are pretty hard to get your hands on. In the last couple weeks there have been a couple of surprise restocks that are advertised by word of mouth. I found out about them via a couple friends telling me to get my hiney over to the Enchanted Polish site in a hurry. The colors that get posted in a restock are gone nearly as quickly as they are put up. 

It's a very interesting thing...the allure of Enchanted Polish. The colors that she creates are without a doubt, gorgeous and unique. You've gotta have a good track record to be able to sell polish sight unseen, like the monthly mystery polishes. Sometimes the demand for these marvelous Enchanted shades gets a little bit out of hand. There have been crashed servers, cartjackings, and general frustration and outrage over this brand's polish. I felt very lucky to (fairly) easily get my hands on a few shades lately. Thanks to Erin, for giving me the heads up for this restock!

Today's color is  "Bonjour Paris". This polish is a multi-chrome glitter topper. It shifts between dark blue, purple and orange-red. For today's pics I layered it over black, so you could really see the colors in this shifty glitter!

I am wearing two coats of black polish, one coat of "Bonjour Paris" and one coat of Seche Vite.

Somehow, miraculously I was able to catch all of the colors in this macro shot! Isn't it beautiful?

Here's another shot of its color shift.

The texture of this polish was great, as always. No problems with application whatsoever. 

Maybe the allure of this polish is for you, and maybe it's not...but you can always keep an eye on http://enchantedpolish.bigcartel.com/ , sign up for their newsletter and then you can stay in the loop!

Emerald and Ash - Hubble Polishes, part 2

Greetings, earthling! Today, I have two more STELLAR shades from the Emerald and Ash Hubble collection. Ashley asked me to review and swatch her new shades and generously offered me two shades that are new to me, but have been part of Emerald and Ash for a long time!

Let me tell you. These two shades are amazing...

Out of this world, if you will!

Lets get to it, shall we?

This is what an actual Helix Nebula looks like.

This is what Emerald and Ash's Helix Nebula looks like

This black jelly polish is full of 4 different sizes of holo hex glitter along with blue and pink flecks of color. This is a mysterious polish that changes color, depending on the light you are in.

I love, love, LOVE this polish. It is indeed mysterious. I love the blue and pink shimmery undertones it has in it. In my pictures I am wearing three coats of Helix Nebula, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite.

Isn't it amazing?? I think this one is my favorite of the Hubble polishes.

Last, but certainly not least, we have Deep Field.

This shade is inspired by the Hubble deep field image. This black jelly polish shows spots of brightness and color from within it's darkness. You can reach opacity with this polish, but if you'd like it to be darker, it looks stunning layered over a black polish.

In my pictures I am wearing three coats of Deep Field, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite.

This color is freaking amazing! There are so many colors and flashes in this polish, it honestly looks different in every light!

Makes you feel VERY small, doesn't it?

These, and all of the other Hubble polishes will be on sale for 24% off on April 24th ONLY, so don't hesitate! These polishes are so worth it!

Emerald and Ash - NEW Hubble polishes

Good evening! I hope your Easter Sunday finds you well.
If you don't celebrate Easter, happy Sunday Funday!

This year, on April 24th, marks the 24th anniversary of the Hubble telescope being launched into space. Without this amazing telescope, we would't be privy to all of the stunning and mesmerizing things in our universe.

Emerald and Ash has an existing line of Hubble based polishes that are inspired by imagery that has been captured by the Hubble telescope. Today I have two new polishes to celebrate the telescope's anniversary that are being added to the collection.

First, I'd like to show you the polish that honors this amazing telescope.

This is Hubble.

Hubble: Based off of the Hubble space telescope, this silver foil polish was created to mimic the outer shell of the Hubble. The polish is also filled with gold and black flakies, which represent the solar arrays and various sensors that cover the telescope. This is a metallic foil that reflects light beautifully and covers the nail in two coats. Hubble can be worn with or without topcoat, though wearing a topcoat will prolong the life of the polish.

In my pictures, I am wearing two coats of Hubble and one coat of Seche Vite.

Here is a picture of the Hubble itself:

I'd say that this polish is a spot on representation of its inspiration. The application of this polish was effortless, and I love how reflective it is. On the nail, this polish looks textured, but it's not. It's lovely. This isn't your standard silver polish!

I did a macro with a little less light so you could really see all the flakies in there!

The next newbie is Globular Cluster M15

Globular Cluster M15 is based off of Globular Cluster M15 which is home to over 100,000 stars. This black jelly is bursting with gold, silver and blue glitters as well as white and blue micro flakies. Gold and silver holo micro glitters hide within, catching the light causing them to twinkle. Best worn with three coats for full coverage and depth, though it can be worn over a black base. 

This is a picture of the actual Globular Cluster M15

This polish was so surprising! On the surface it looks like a starry night sky, but when you look closer, you can see all of the extra flakie and holo sparkle. In my pictures, I am wearing 3 coats of Globular Cluster M15, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite.

WOW! Surprising, right? I gave you a blurry macro so you could see all of that twinkle!

These two new polishes will be available on April 24th, at emeraldandash.com

These and all of the other Hubble polishes will be 24% off on that day only!

Stay tuned for my next post, featuring two existing hubble polishes that are going to rock your world!
