Indie Swatch and Review - Fall 2016 Collection from Pretty & Polished

Press Samples

Hello lovely readers! Today I have 5 polishes from the upcoming Fall collection by Pretty & Polished. Keep reading after the jump for all of the details!


The Fall 2016 collection by Pretty & Polished is comprised of 10 polishes and features thermals, crellies, glitter bombs, flakes, and dusty cremes.


Heavy Metal
This is a full-coverage glitter in a silver-based polish. It features silver microglitter and metallic hex glitters in silver, gold, and copper. It also has features color shifting flakes that appear pink when the light hits them just right! The formula was great. It only required two easy coats for full coverage and self-leveled beautifully. It is a textured polish, so you may want to use a top coat to minimize it. You will also need acetone to remove this polish if you do not use a peel off base coat.

Shown below are two coats plus top coat.

Patch
This is a brick orange creme featuring black specks that give it its dusty look! The formula self-leveled nicely and it was opaque after two easy coats. Shown below are two coats plus top coat.

I Done Plum had it!
This is a bright magenta with purple undertones featuring copper flakies. The formula in this one is a bit thicker compared with the rest of the collection. Nevertheless, application was nice, requiring only two coats for self-leveling and opacity. 

Shown below are two coats plus top coat.

Taupe me off and Leaf!
This is a taupe crelly-like creme featuring browns, golds, coppers, and orange hex glitters and microglitters. This one had another great formula, requiring only 2 easy coats to self-level and become opaque. The glitter was beautifully dispersed and the glitter payoff was nice (no fishing!).

Shown are two coats plus top coat.

Fall in Love a Latte
This is a thermal  creme that features hexagonal matte glitters in brown, orange, mustard, and other typical Fall shades. It also features the black specks from the dusty creme line. This polish is light brown when cold and transitions to off-white when warm. Like the other cremes in this collection, the formula self-leveled nicely and only required two coats for opacity. The glitter payoff was also nice.

Shown below are two coats plus top coat.

Also in this collection, per the maker:

Lavendarling is a holo Lavender Polish filled with pink and blue flakes. This polish will turn to a darker blue/purple when cold. The change is subtle but very pretty.

Dark Magic is a dark gray creme holo with metallic purple hex and holo glitters.

Fuzzy Sweater is a mustard yellow creme packed with color shifting flakes.

Riverside Drive is a dark midnight blue creme with blue, silver and dark gray flakes.

Creme De La Creme is a creamy sand shade and another one of our Fall Dusty Cremes!


Overall, I love this collection. I love it so much that I listed my top 5 reasons below:
  1. This collection offers something for everyone while making sure that all of the formulas perform and deliver (deliver, as in, paint your in under 10 minute with minimum clean-up deliver!)
  2. I love that the colors coordinate nicely, which makes it easy to do simple nail art, regardless of skill levels. Patch also stamps and watermarbles (make sure to follow me on Instagram for nail art!)
  3. I love a good creme and the addition of the black specks to the dusty cremes is subtlety genius and unexpected
  4. I love when a thermal does what it is design to do: be one color when cold and another color when warm! No bending backwards to achieve the transition with this thermal!
  5. I freaking love glitter bombs! Please keep them coming
This collection debuted at PolishCon 2016 and will be available online at www.shopprettyandpolished.com on Friday, September 23rd. The polishes will retail for:
Color changers - $9 each
Glitters and Flakes - $8.50
