Blush: Film Noir Collection

PR Sample

The Film Noir Collection is a set of 6 buttery-smooth and easy to apply cremes in a black to white greyscale color scheme. They were inspired by the classic American genre of black and white film noir movies known for their bold and contrasting lighting effects, framing angles and tales of murder and mystery.

This is a new creme formulation that Blush has created which are more opaque, self-leveling and most will cover in one coat. I'm showing these all in one coat with both a glossy top coat and the Blush Matterial Girl Matte Top Coat unless otherwise noted.

The pre-order with special pricing is live right now through Thursday, February 27th 11:59pm EST and the regular/official release date with regular pricing starts on Friday, February 28th at 12:01am EST

A Dangerous Woman
A seductive patent leather true black creme nail polish.
*Blush warns against some slight staining, I didn't experience this myself with a base but I also didn't get to wear it for more than my swatching sesh.







The Private Eye
A mysterious charcoal grey creme nail polish.




The perfect shade for a farmhouse / chalkboard nails look when topped with matte topcoat!
I blended Venetian Blinds and Lamplight Flicker right on the plate as I scraped over each design to get a dove white.




Flashback
A stone cold steel grey creme nail polish.







Light A Lucky Strike
A medium smoky grey creme nail polish.







Lamplight Flicker
A soft, foggy grey creme nail polish.
Two coats shown.







Venetian Blinds
A stark, bright white creme nail polish.
Two coats shown. What a fantastic formula for a white cream polish! No dragging or streaking, just creamy application goodness.







All of them stamp!
(I applied the topcoat carelessly and caused some smearing, these were crisp before.)

Tonic: February 2020 releases

PR Sample

For February Tonic brings us four varying shades of raspberry with shifty shimmer and flake and three magnetic polishes, available now.




Clap Your Hands (Magnetic)
Appears to be a metallic plum with tiny sparkly shimmers. Magnetizing transforms it into a veritable rainbow of peach-gold-green-aqua-blue shifting shimmer in a blackened plum base with a fuchsia-purple-peach shifting magnetic contrast







Juice Box Chaser
Developed after a prototype from Tonic's proto sale that received a lot of attention in their fan group. JBC is a bright purple cream with a strong coral pink-peach-yellow-green shifting shimmer.







Koi Pond (Magnetic)
Equally stunning magnetized or not. It starts as a multi-dimensional teal-aqua-purple-orange-yellow shifting base with red-orange-yellow shifting multichrome flakes and when magnetized reveals a glowing indigo shimmer background with green-blue-purple-pink magnetic contrast, both of which accentuate the red multichrome flakes







My Magic Wine
A burgundy wine base with orangey-gold-emerald shifting shimmer and a light scattering of iridescent flakes. Lindsey describes this shade as “Stealth Magic”, it may look like a basic, safe burgundy to someone across the room, but up close the shimmers and flakes react with the wine base to create mini glowing rainbows of color







Pure Imagination
Another “Stealth Magic” color, full of secret rainbows and surprises. Based on an original prototype for the Tonic fairy queen color Titania, it has an orchid toned base with TONS of peach-yellow-green-aqua shifting shimmer and a sprinkle of iridescent flakes! This may look like a “safe” color to the casual observer, but to the discerning eye it is packed full of rainbows, creativity, and depth

No topcoat used for these photos.






Sing Your Life (Magnetic)
Appears to be a metallic slate blue with tiny coral shimmers until magnetized. This polish transforms to a coral red-peach-green shifter in a blackened base with a blue-purple-peach magnetic contrast







Sylveon
Contains tons of coral-peach-yellow-green shifting shimmer in a matte base with a hint of soft, muted purpley-mauve base. Naturally matte, but looks great glossy with Tonic Topper.






Sylveon with glossy topcoat







Each polish is shown in two coats with glossy topcoat unless noted otherwise. The formula for each of them was good and the squared off flat brush makes application a breeze.
