Indie Swatch and Review - Spring 2018 Iridescent Holos from Moonflower Polish

Press samples

Hello lovely readers. Today on the blog I have the new Iridescent Holos collection from 5-free indie polish Moonflower Polish!


This spring collection features four duochromes with scattered holo in a jelly base. The polishes also feature a glow-from-within shimmer in shades that I describe metallic pastels.

I swatched the polishes as regular full-wear polishes over a clear base. All four self-leveled and covered in 2 easy coats. All swatches show 2 coats plus a glossy top coat. [Tip: Because of the jelly finish, these polishes will really pop when stamped against a darker base. Also, using a protective barrier around your cuticles will help with removal of the fine shimmer.]

I also stamped the polishes over a black gel. I used the soft stamped from Fab Ur Nails and a clear stamped from Ejiubas. Plates used include Sugar Bubbles, Ejiubas, Pueen, and the BornPrettyStore.

I have lots of photos to show you so let’s go ahead and take a closer look below!

Leadlighting nail art
I also used these jellies for a classic nail stamping technique - leadlighting. For this technique, I stamped my image using Moonflowe Polish Noche and I then filled in the images using a small brush and the 4 jellies in the collection. These jellies are a bit ticker than other jellies in my collection due to the stamping quality. However, they still work for leadlighting. [Tip: Use a drop of thinner in a small plate along with a drop of polish. This will allow you to take more time to work on your nail art details.]

Overall, I love this 4-piece collection. The polishes are stunning and super easy to wear and stamp with and the shift is absolutely beautiful!

These will be available on March 16 and will retail for $9 US per 15ml  or $34 for the set and $5 for the 7ml mini or $18 for the set.

  5. Leadlighting is a brilliant term for that technique. Haven't heard that before but it accurately describes the look of stained glass on the nail.
