Emily de Molly: Showdown

The moment I saw Showdown, I knew it was special and I had to have it. I had not ever seen a tinted jelly polish as sparkly and flakie as this and haven't seen anything else even close to it since. Absolutely unique in my collection and possibly in the whole nail polish market. If you don't have this, you need it. Trust.

Formula was excellent as with all EdM polishes and two coats was opaque enough for this gal.

I hope you have enjoyed the review and swatches! And yes, this polish is still available!
Visit EdM's store and pick up a beautiful polish or five!

My Indie Polish: Hello Toronto (partial)

My Indie Polish has launched a 12 piece set called Hello Toronto, of which I'm sharing four.



Candi
A deep plum with glitters and mini ucc flakies. I wore two coats and topcoat for a glossy shine. The formula was smooth and easy to apply.

Kensington Market
A creamy bright lilac with hidden holographic shimmer. Such a beautifully done polish. It looks like a cream, but has that hidden holo shimmer that only you might know about. The holo adds dimension and it sparkles in the sunlight. Is this the new trend? Hidden holo? Cause I am absolutely LOVING it! Nothing like this in my collection. Formula was creamy smooth and opaque in two coats.

Rouge Beach
An iridescent blue textured glitter polish. I wore two coats in the photos below and it was almost opaque. I think one more coat would do it if you want a dense glittery look. I kind of like letting the nail show through a little. The formula was fluid and easy to apply. I wore a coat of gelous and then topcoat for a smooth glassy look.

The CNE
A dark blue jelly with a smattering of multichrome flakies throughout. So squishy, this polish! I can't even. I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was great.

The polish formula is fantastic, smooth and buttery just like I like! Wear time is great so far, going on four days with no chips.
I hope you've enjoyed my review, now head on over to My Indie Polish to see the rest and pick up a few of your own!

Road to Polish Con: Week 11

xoxoJen - Official Polish Con Blogger
Unable to attend Polish Con NYC 2017?
Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central and run through the following Saturday.

Today's launch features week 11 polishes from Nine Zero and Le Polish.

VIP? Not Me! 
 A cool pink metallic foil polish with subtle holo. I wore two coats with topcoat, but with care I think one coat would do well, it's quite opaque.

Polish Con't Go
A creamy chocolate milk nude/neutral with flecks of gold and copper shimmer and a scattering of holo. I wore two coats with topcoat and while it has chunky flecks in it, there was no noticeable texture.
