Polychroma Polish UK Indie Swatch & Review!

— post contains gifted items —

I'm back!

I haven't posted on here in FOREVER... but now I'm back, and I have some gorgeous indie polishes to show you today!

Polychroma Polish kindly sent me 4 of their polishes to swatch, and I wanted to share my swatches with you on here!

If you haven't heard of Polychroma Polish, they are a UK indie brand and they have a growing selection of beautiful polishes. Plus, their polishes are vegan, cruelty-free, and 10-free!

(All swatches are 2 coats, without top coat)

Do You Want to Play Video Games

I love the name, I love the base shade, I love the flakes. I love everything about this polish. Do You Want to Play Video Games is a mint green crelly polish with magenta, gold and green shifting flakies. It was opaque in 2 coats, and the flakes distributed perfectly on my nail.

Oh, and the answer to this polish's name... yes, yes I do. I ALWAYS want to play video games.

The Botanist

This polish is a beautiful teal shade with scattered holographic glitter. It was perfectly opaque in 2 coats, and the scattered holo looks absolutely stunning. Teal is my favourite colour, and I until I saw The Botanist, I hadn't realised I didn't own a single holographic teal polish. Now, I don't know how I ever lived without one. This is a beautiful shade to wear any time of year, and it is going to be a go-to of mine now!

Oh My Squash!

Part of Polychroma Polish's Scary Tales Nails Collection, Oh My Squash is an orange crelly polish with matte black glitters. This is a beautiful orange shade, and perfect for the Halloween/Spooky season, and just fall in general. I was really impressed with this polish... often, lighter colour crellies can take 3 coats to be fully opaque, but this was completely opaque in 2 thin coats! Plus, the glitters distributed perfectly on my nail, and I didn't have to fish for the glitters! If you love orange manis this time of year, this polish is perfect.

Ectoplasmic

This polish is now officially in my top 5 favourite Halloween polishes of all time! Everything about it just SCREAMS Halloween! Ectoplasmic is also part of the Scary Tales Nails Collection. It's the perfect lime green shade that reminds me of slime, and it's packed with larger matte white hex glitter, smaller matte black hex glitter, and smaller shiny red hex glitter! It applies beautifully, the glitter distributes perfectly without the need to fish for glitter, it was opaque in 2 coats, and it's the perfect combination of Halloween colours! If you're not big into nail art, but want a seriously fun mani for Halloween, polishes like this are a great and easy way of adding a flare to your nails. I love everything about this polish, and I will definitely be wearing it this Halloween!

Barry M Summer 2019 Gelly Polishes

barry m

I was so excited to buy these four new shades in Barry M's Gelly range. I love Barry M Gelly polishes and I knew as soon as I saw swatches of these on Instagram that I needed them in my polish collection! These four polishes are bright and perfect for summer... I can already tell that I'm going to be using these A LOT over the next few months.

All of the swatches are two coats with no top coat (the designs have Barry M's Matte top coat).

First up is Banana Split. This is the polish I was most looking forward to getting out of the four — and it did not disappoint! I love the colour yellow and Barry M doesn't release yellow polishes that often so I was super happy there was a yellow in this release. This is a really great yellow polish — a lot of yellow shades can be quite sheer/streaky, but this isn't at all — it's lovely to apply and only needed two coats.

Second is Pink Grapefruit. I didn't initially think I'd like this polish as much as I do — pinks are sometimes a hit or miss thing for me — but I actually really love this shade. It's a really pretty coral pink shade, perfect for summer.

Next is Tangerine. After using this polish I've decided I don't wear orange polishes enough — I neglect the colour orange! This shade is super bright and vibrant and is absolutely perfect for summer (will also be great when it comes time for Halloween too).

Lastly is Blueberry Muffin. What can I say? Other than, I LOVE teal polishes! I don't recall ever having met a teal polish I didn't want to be friends with... And this polish is no different. It photographs very blue, though IRL it does lean towards being a teal shade — my camera did NOT like capturing this shade. Perfect for a mermaid/beach mani this summer.
