Elevation Polish Hawaiian Punch Collection

Provided for Review 
Happy Halloween! I don't have any spookiness for you today, instead I have Elevation Polish's Hawaiian Punch Collection that will be released during the November 7th restock (9 pm CST). This is stunning collection, with a few pinks as well as some darker colors, all in a range of polish finishes. Looking at the all the bottles together, you can see how cohesive this collection is and I highly recommend getting all 6 polishes if you can. But you can't, don't despair, they will be available for a the foreseeable future. 

Elevation Polish Bromeliad 
Two coats
Plum purple medium density holographic
There are many purple/magenta/pink holo polishes but I do not have a single one quite like this color. And the linear flame is quite prominent, so a winner all around!

Elevation Polish Kaihalulu
Two coats
Blackened cherry with pink shimmer 
Vampy perfection. It has the feel and look of an older OPI polish, but updated to Elevation's modern standards. I forgot to add a layer of matte topcoat when I was taking photos but believe me, this looks amazing matte.

Elevation Polish Kilauea
Two coats
Bright mid-tone pink creme. 
I love Elevation's creme polishes, so of course I am excited to see a straight creme being released. Compared to Ave Secretan, this is more orange in toned and a bit brighter, it's very much a punch pink.

Elevation Polish Purple Queen Anthias 
Two coats
Pink/purple with violet shimmer.
What a color! Very bold and vibrant. The violet shimmer almost comes across as a blue flash at the right light and angle.

Elevation Polish Sunset Among the Palms
Two coats
Magenta jelly base with charcoal flake shimmer and low density holo pigment.
This is more mild holo compared to Bromeliad but the added shimmer gives it a lot of depth.

Elevation Polish Wai'anapanapa
Two coats
Black jelly base with pink and purple shimmer.
That shimmer, man oh man, that shimmer is fantastic against the deep dark black base. This is probably the thickest formula out of the set, mainly because all that shimmer. A double layer of topcoat is recommended as well.

Hare Polish F/W 2014 Interstellar Invasion Collection

Provided for Review 
Hey guys! Today I get to share with you Hare Polish's newest collection, the Interstellar Invasion Collection. This 4 piece set are all jelly base polishes with Hare's signature color twists. The inspiration comes from 1960's/70's sci-fi pulp art, making for one bold and bright collection. Formula wise, I had no issues, they were not too thick or thin, and I made sure to apply a coat of my trusty Gelous before a final layer of topcoat. I don't believe these are in stock at the moment in Hare's Etsy shop but Llarowe will be releasing them tomorrow, so check their Facebook page for release times. 

PS: I am trying out some new poses, to showcase the polishes in different angles. Let me know what you think!

Hare Polish 11th Dimension Interloper
Three coats
Bright magenta jelly base with charcoal and gold flakes, blue and gold iridescent glitter and blue shimmer. 
Absolutely stunning! Somehow, I went from a picky flake finish person to full on flake love and this is an example why. 





Hare Polish Attack of the Army From Albiorix
Three coats
Dark dark plum purple jelly base with pale pink, neon orange, fuschia, and teal glitter and purple shimmer.
Color contrast at it's best. 





Hare Polish Martian Mutiny
Three coats
Teal jelly base with neon red and magenta glitter and iridescent blue and gold flakes. 





Hare Polish Operation Solar Doom
Three coats
Red/orange jelly base with pale pink glitter, gold and blue iridsecnt flakes and blue shimmer. 
My favorite of them all! The color is such a punchy red/orange and those flakes, man, those flakes...

Indigo Bananas Halloween Collection 2014 Part Three

Provided for Review  
Good afternoon! I have the remaining six polishes from Indigo Bananas Halloween 2014 collection to show you guys, part one's post is here and part two is here. Today the focus will be on the glow-in-the-dark glass fleck glitter trio and the metallic flake trio.  

Let's talk formula. The first three, the glitter heavy polishes, they are opaque in two coats and will dry to a matte finish due to the pigment. I would recommend two coats of topcoat, especially if you like a glassy finish. I don't have glow-in-the-dark photos for Abby Normal, Roll in Ze Hay, and Walk this Way but there are some shown for each polish in Indigo Bananas shop

The three metallic flake polishes are easy to apply and will get you full coverage in two coats, though a third coat will fill in a little gaps of space. Definitely my favorite trio, they are so eye catching! 

Indigo Bananas Abby Normal
Two coats
Lavender to pink to coral flake shimmer.



Indigo Bananas Roll in Ze Hay
Two coats
Blue to purple flake shimmer.



Indigo Bananas Walk this Way
Two coats
Bright blue toned teal flake shimmer.



Indigo Bananas Putting on the Ritz
Two coats
Silver flakes of various sizes in a clear base. 



Indigo Bananas Spark of Life
Two coats
Copper flakes in a clear base.



Indigo Bananas Bridal Veil
Two coats
Silver flakes with holographic pigment in a clear base.
