These 16 pretties are the 2016 Summer collection!! 12 of the shades make up the main portion of the collection and the other 4 shades are the creme/crelly and shimmers.
Let's get into the swatches and macros!
*pic heavy
Rendered Speechless
A milky bright minty green packed with shimmer that shifts from copper to gold to pink. Shown here is two coats and top coat. My photos are slightly bluer than in person. This is just as the description claims, a milky bright mint. I adore this one!
Summer Lovin'
Fire Down Below
Stars At Night
A grape purple crelly packed with shimmer. This one is fabulous! 2 coats of awesome and a coat of top coat! So sparkly, a must have!
Prissy Little Thang!
Rosy pink intense linear holo with lavender flame. Mmm holo-freakin-goodness!!! Shown here is 2 coats plus top coat!
Fire To The Rain
A Persian green intense linear holo with turquoise flame. I'm gonna be honest, I want to swim in this, like fill my entire pool and just splash around in it! My swatch is 2 coats plus top coat.
A bright cool-toned candy apple red crelly that's squishy and filled with shimmer! Such a squishy candy apple! Shown here is 2 coats plus top coat!
Bam!
Lisa's Revenge
A bright royal blue crelly that's squishy like a jelly and loaded with shimmer. I can't even, soo so good. 2 coats of sparkly freaking awesome and top coat!
Pool Partay!
A pool water blue/green intense linear holo jelly with cool and light turquoise flashes. Well the name is fitting for sure, bam! better make room in my pool of holo because I want to swim in this one too! Shown here is 2 easy coats plus top coat.
Shiny Happy People!
A periwinkle blue with purple sheen scattered holo with intense shimmer that shifts pink to copper to green. Totally gorgeous with the shimmer and shifts of color plus holo. Another 2 easy coats and topcoat.
Ahoy Matey!
Ahoy Matey is complicated. It's the color of the ocean - sometimes aqua blue, sometimes green, full of color-shifting shimmer that shifts from violet to copper to gold. Like the description says, this is one bad ass unique polish! I don't own anything like it. I wish I would have used 3 coats because my vnl is hella strong in my pics. Totally amazing shifts of color. My swatch is 2 coats plus top coat.
Annie Get Your Gun
This polish is incredibly hard to describe. A continuously changing color scheme that includes shades of blue, green, gunmetal grey, purple with an added pink to purple to lavender sheen. Tightly scattered glowing holographic with arcs of green, yellow, gold, turquoise and purple. Oh cbl, how I love thee. This is one super amazing shade. I swear I can't even with these polishes! Ahh! 2 coats plus top coat!
And for the Crelly/creme & shimmer colors!
Hot Summer Nights
Blackened burgundy creme base with intense red shimmer. This one is Vampy, sultry idk but it's gorgeous and I love it!!! Formula is amazing as always and I just *fans self a little* can't get enough! 2 buttery coats and top coat!
Lotus
Bright orchid pink crelly with intense gold and pink shimmer. Another must have, to be honest this one just screams summer at me. Next pedi color for sure! 2 coats and top coat!
Medium to dark purple toned blue squishy crelly! To my eye this screams I'm sooo close to navy... and I love it. Like really really really LOVE it. Perfect formula, 2 buttery coats plus top coat.
Creme Of The Crop
Medium sea green creme. Dries semi matte. I love this shade of green. So fresh and spring into summer ready! I added a coat of top coat for my swatches. Two coats of color!
Phew! We made it to the end! What do you think of this collection? Any must haves? I have some nail art using some of these coming up soon!

These look gorgeous. I was about to try the mint green one, until I read that the photos are more blue than it really is. Years ago I had a robin egg blue polish that was discontinued. I bet I have bought at least 2 dozen bottles trying to replace that color. I should just ask someone to blend it for me, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteAw I'm sorry. I think you should, so many makers do customs now, it's worth a shot. :)
DeleteOh man, I think I need Fire down Below! Your swatches are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat goodness gracious! Ahoy Matey is the stuff polish dreams are made of!
ReplyDeleteAhoy Matey will visit me in my dreams...sigh...
ReplyDeleteThis collection is spectacular, but all of Leah Anne's are. I will likely be picking up all of them before summer is over.
