Budding Romance is a violet/pink holo.
The hit of pink in this polish makes it unique and more complex. Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was fantastic!

xoxoJen's swatch of Girly Bits High Functioning Sociopath and 1850 Artisan The Final Problem


1850 Artisan The Final Problem
Inspired by Sherlock’s nemesis, the evil mastermind Professor Moriarty. This dark and moody deep blue multichrome shifts to purple and gold and is accented with gold microflakes.

Dark and shifty, almost sinister no?

Colors By LLarowe How About A Brownie Dogg?
Delicious brownie colored linear holo is inspired by Martha Stewart. It has "buds" of gold to green to red shift from the OG UP that may increase your munchies. What did you put in those brownies Martha??

A rich vampy shade of brown, sure to make you crave!

KBShimmer Fo Shizzle
Inspired by Snoop and his unabashed love for the chronic. A rich organic green envelops a scattering of green unicorn flakes, while a linear holographic flame adds a rainbow of sparkle. The shade is scented with an earthy faux cannabis fragrance blended with patchouli and clove notes.

I'm gonna call this a multi-green. It has like, four, or so shades of green all in this one polish! The scent is light, so if you're concerned about that - don't be. :)

77 Lacquer We Got Some Great Chemistry
A turquoise-y teal crelly base with blue/green/gold UCC flakies and blue/green shifting shimmer.
Inspired by Walter White & Jesse Pinkman of Breaking Bad.

What a beautiful shade of teal and the pops of green from the flakes are a fantastic accent.

DRK Nails The Holo Tramp and Lady Flakie

The Holo Tramp is a mix of holo pigments in a Grey base with iridescent orange orange to green flakes added.

Loving the mix of bright silver holo with flakes!





Lady Flakie over The Holo Tramp
A container of flakes is a separate PPU product, and it looks great over the polish!





Great Lakes Lacquer Bitches Get Stuff Done
A tan nude shifting from magenta to copper red to rosy bronze to gold to green with a scattered holographic finish.
The inspirations are Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, in a duo with Pahlish.

Loving the shift in this and it's sunny hue, just like the ladies it is inspired by.

1850 Artisan: Anniversary Collection

1850 Artisan Polish is one year old and they are celebrating with a beautiful, sparkling trio! I am pleased to have the opportunity to share them with you. There's a good range of finishes here including multichrome, a thermal and a topper!

These are available right now!

A Year Of Dreams
This year has been filled with dreams come true for 1850, and that joy is shared here in color form. This multichrome will appear primarily purple or blue depending on lighting, but it will always shift through purple, turquoise, blue, green, and gold. The addition of an outrageous array of aurora shimmers adds to the color shifts and sparkles that are topped with scattered holographic microflakes. Shown is two coats with topcoat, formula was good/no issues.

Jellyfish Party
The fun Jellyfish toppers all got together for a party and invited gorgeous blue to purple aurora shimmers to join the celebration. This rainbow of transparent multichrome flakes looks great as a topper over any of your favorite shades. Shown here over A Year Of Dreams, but 1850 recommends trying it over their one coat black cream, Squid Ink. Loads of flakes in two coats, I think one coat would have been plenty but I love flakes and couldn't resist doing two coats.

Polarity
The sister polish to Dichotomy, 1850's #1 best seller of their debut year! Multidimensional darkened royal blue when cold, and icy white with blue shimmer when warm. Generously filled with silver holographic glitters that give this beauty a celestial sparkle.

What 1850 didn't tell us was that there's a third color lurking in this formula when the polish is in transition, a medium-ish shade of blue! It was super easy to capture the changes for this polish, which for me is unusual. (I have hot hands, always!) I used two coats and the formula was good/no issues.
