Different Dimension Extragalactic Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hello! For today I have a new collection from Different Dimension, a truly epic set of multi-chrome polishes. The Extragalactic Collection consists of 14 polishes, six of which are pure multi-chromes, with six corresponding flakes multi-chrome versions and finally two topper polishes that tie into the galaxy theme.

Formula Notes:

There are many multi-chrome variations in this collection with quite a few being warm/golden ones and OH. M. G. they are all stunning to see in person. I usually prefer a pure multi-chrome with no other detailing but the flaked versions really stood out to me as well, they each have still quite a prominent shift but with added holo goodness in flake form.

No issues to report in terms of application. I found that a few of the non-flake multi-chromes were not opaque enough with two coats but needed at least three coats for total opacity. No need to layer over a black base either though if you prefer to have less visible brushstrokes (which didn't bother me, just something to mention), layering is a way to go. There are so many beautiful polishes in this post that honestly I can't play favorites, get them all!

The Extragalactic Collection will be available for a 72 hour pre-order window starting Wednesday March 1st at 9 am EST with orders shipping out within 7 business days, pre-orders will receive $1 off retail of very polish in the set. Official release date (with no pre-order wait) will be on March 10th at 9 pm EST, also in Different Dimension's shop.

Oh! Also releasing are new cuticle oil scents, in both 2.7 ml pen and 15 ml dropper, plus sample sizes. The new scents are Apple, Blueberry, Pear, Raspberry, and Watermelon and they are very lovely indeed. I don't always go for fruity scents but I absolutely love Apple, it was light and sweet without being overly so.
