Grace-Full: Inklings Collection

The Inklings collection from Grace-Full nail polish was sent to me for review by Ella Ann Cosmetics. The inspiration is from the works of JRR Tolkien. Like all the other Grace-Full polishes I've reviewed, the formula is smooth and very easy to control on the nail with very little clean up. All photos below are two coats with topcoat; descriptions are from Grace-Full Nail Polish.

Mount Fang is a dark grey linear holo with red and gold flecks. The red represents the evil within the tower from Saruman’s secret relationship with Sauron. The gold sparks represent the power of The One Ring. Mount Fang is no longer being made due to a supplier discontinuation of an ingredient. I spoke with Theresa and I believe she is still searching to replace that ingredient.

The Lights in the Party Tree is a bright green microglitter full of holographic glitters with a green jelly base. There are pink, purple, blue, microglitters throughout to represent the hobbit hole doors and the flowers covering the hills.

Where the Gods Dwell is based on the place in the story called Valinor. Behold, Valinor is built, and the Gods dwell in peace.
It is a subtle linear holo that shifts from a periwinkle blue to violet and has sparks of pink and blue throughout.

Based on the Elven kingdom Lothlorien, Sunlight and Starlight is a subtle linear holo that shifts between blue and green.

Miss Ashleigh: Show Me Your Watermelons

Do you like cream polishes? I do! I think they've taken a back seat lately to all the dazzling holos and glitters, but creams are really beautiful in their own right. Miss Ashleigh Show Me Your Watermelons is a coral leaning red, that is super vivid. It has an impressively smooth and fluid formula, is opaque in two coats and super glossy on its own. I did use topcoat for my photos, however.

Grace-full: Lime Splash and Magenta Sparks

Ella Ann Cosmetics sent a couple of polishes to me from the Grace-Full Effervescent Brights collection to review. These are true to the collection name, in that they are bright and vivid shades with a punch of holo that will make a gal weak in the knees!

Lime Splash – a lime linear holo with green-gold flakies which gives a subtle golden shimmer.
I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos, formula is smooth and easy to control and very little cleanup needed. All Grace-full's I've worn so far have this formula which I know I can rely on with their brand.

Magenta Sparks - a magenta linear holo with blue flakies which leaves a subtle blue sheen
Same as the other, I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos, formula is smooth and easy to control with very little cleanup needed.
