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.]
