I Love You Unconditionally: Strawberry Cheesecake Delight
This polish boasts a delightful strawberry pink crelly base, shimmering with a gold graham cracker crust effect. The formula is incredibly smooth and provides even coverage in just two coats, though a hint of nail line might be visible. The gold and iridescent microflakes add a touch of sparkle, creating a sophisticated yet playful manicure.
While the berry red metallic microflakes also contribute to the overall look, the iridescent flakes were less prominent on the nail than anticipated. Despite this minor detail, the polish remains a beautiful and easy-to-apply option, making it a favorite from the collection.
Mint for Each Other: A Cool Mint Chocolate Chip
A refreshing mint green crelly base forms the foundation of this polish, infused with a cool silvery shimmer and flecks of gold, rose gold, and iridescent microflakes. The shimmer adds a minty coolness to the color, though the iridescent flakes are less visible on the nail than in the bottle.
The formula is smooth and builds beautifully, creating a captivating finish. While the silver shimmer stands out, the overall effect is more minty than chocolate chip, a pleasant surprise for those who may not be fans of the ice cream flavor.
Sunday Funday: Rainbow Sherbet Fun
This playful polish is a white crelly base packed with a pastel hex glitter mix in pink, orange, aqua, periwinkle, and white. The mix of sizes, with a few larger pieces, adds depth and visual interest. A subtle holographic microflake is present, though less noticeable on the nails.
The formula applies smoothly, building to a vibrant finish in two to three coats. Because of the glitter content, a peel-off base is recommended for easier removal. Despite the slightly less noticeable holographic element, it remains a cheerful and summery choice.
What a Softy: Cookies and Cream Coolness
A soft charcoal semi-pearlescent base with a silver shimmer and silver metallic microflakes, this polish offers a sophisticated take on the cookies and cream theme. Despite a surprising sheerness in the first coat, it builds up nicely to an opaque finish in two coats.
The silver shimmer imparts a cool, icy feel, aligning well with the ice cream inspiration. While not the reviewer's favorite color, the formula is easy to work with, offering a smooth and even application.
