The polishes in this collection can be blended and this works best when you apply them over Silver Canvas, which is also part of the collection (more about this in part III). Since I found the formulas to be very similar, I will summarize my observations below before I share my swatches:
- The formulas have a (somewhat thick) jelly-like consistency
- The colors are highly pigmented and can stain
- The colors build up quickly and most will become opaque after 2 coats
- They can be used on their own as well as with the Silver Canvas
- I had issues when I used them directly over my regular base coat (Yellow Stopper) so you may want to skip this step
For the swatches, I did 1 and 2 coats with or without the Silver Canvas base coat. Also, swatches are shown without any top coat.
Primarily Yellow - a butterscotch yellow that will is not opaque on its own after 2 coats
One coat of Primarily Yellow with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Two coats of Primarily Yellow with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Purple Perspective - a purple that quickly builds up to a blackish purple in 2 coats
One coat of Purple Perspective with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Two coats of Purple Perspective with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Chromatic Orange - bright red-toned orange that quickly intensifies in 2 coats
One coat of Chromatic Orange with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Two coats of Chromatic Orange with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Magenta Muse - a red that starts out as magenta and quickly intensifies in 2 coats
One coat of Magenta Muse with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Two coats of Magenta Muse with or without Silver Canvas base coat
Next time I will share my swatches of the 4 colors. In the meantime, let me know what you think of these colors if you have used them. I would love to hear from you!

I am loving this collection more and more! I got the mini set.
ReplyDeleteThis collection is really pretty! I love Magenta Muse on you.
ReplyDeleteI love these. I really need to get some!
ReplyDeleteI like these better over a silver base. The new formula X collection that's based on the same principle is nicer for me colour wise.

ReplyDeleteI love this whole collection, there's so much fun things you can do with it!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I want this collection so bad!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I was really loving this collection at first, but I'm seeing more and more sheers for layering and nail art. My existing OPIs rarely get touched so I think I'm going to pass after all.
ReplyDeleteI love these more and more each time I see them. I really need to go ahead and grab a few of my favorites to play with!
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely made for that silver base. Nothing but love for this collection! Can't wait to see your other swatches.
