The Polish Palette: The First Palette

The Polish Palette is a brand new quarterly collaboration between Tonic Nail Polish and Rogue Lacquer. The polishes are based on a palette of cohesive colors for each collaboration. Full sets are sold first at a discounted rate, and later the polishes will be available individually at each brand's online shop.

The first collection is a set of four polishes based on a mid-century modern style color palette.

xoxoJen's swatches of Polish Palette July 2018


Saharan
metallic burnt pumpkin orange with a secret! (magnet not included)

When magnetized the golden shimmer separates from the red and beams like the sun. It also stamps! And without the magnetic effect the golden shimmer remains dispersed for a softer shade of terra cotta.
Two coats shown magnetized and with Tonic Topper

Gobi
packed with turquoise and teal metallic microflakes, violet/copper/bronze shifting ucc flakes, and a smattering of scattered holo.

Like the ocean on your nails, this is super reflective and sparkly. Another one that you won't want to look at while driving! Wear gloves. Srsly.

Sonoran
Chartreuse crelly with scattered holo sparkle, coppery shimmer, and blue to green shifting shimmer.

Though subtle, the copper shimmer is there and more apparent in person than under my bright lights.

Antarctic
a medium range grey with super holographic microflakes and orange and green iridescent flakes

Such a stunner! Do not look at it while driving! You've been warned.
It gives a blue/purpley cast in photos due to the heap of flake and holo rainbow, and under bright lights the green from the shifty flakes just glows.

I also created this nail art look to showcase all four Palette Polishes. Base of Sonoran stamped with Saharan, dotted with both Gobi and Antartica in a half flower pattern at the cuticle.

All the polishes have great formulas and applied easily. Both of the flake-laden polishes were smooth to the touch and one coat of Tonic Topper gave them a glass-like smoothness.

The first Polish Palette will be available as a pre-order from July 1-7 at tonicpolish.com. Please check out the facebook group for more details, swatches and contests!
