Hello friends! I hope you're well! In today's post I will be sharing my swatches and brush shots of the upcoming Helsing's Trophies collection from Colores de Carol. This collection has something for everyone! Let's take a better look at this collection.

The Frankenstein Monster's Bolts

A grey crelly with silver holo glitters and gunmetal glitter. Loving the tiny square glitter combined with the tiny pops of holo micro glitter so cute! My swatch shows 2 coats of color + top coat. 

Dracula's Fangs

Warm


Cold


A multichrome thermal (from a blackened red to a shimmery sheer) and red holo glitters. The cold state is vampy perfection! I really love the shimmery warm state, this is a perfect fall combo! My swatch shows 3 thin coats + top coat. 

The Creature's Gills

A holographic green/blue/purple multichrome with green holo glitter and UCC flakes. The pops of ucc flakies are a dream! My swatch shows 3 thin coats + top coat. 

The Invisible Man's Serum

A clear base with Aurora shimmer (green/red) and holographic micro flakes. I’m a sucker for toppers and this one is amazing! You can catch a slight glimpse at the aurora shining through in little light reflection. It would have shown more amazingly if I had used this over a black shade but I went with a burnt orange and I’m not mad about it. This topper is gorgeous! My swatch shows 1 coat over a burnt orange creme + top coat. 

The Wolfman's Fur

A warm brown with Aurora shimmer (bronze/green) and UCC flakes. I think this would make an amazing shade for reverse stamped fall leaves. It’s gorgeous. This swatch shows 2 coats + top coat. 

The Mummy's Wraps

A white crelly with duo-chrome shimmer (green/purple) and UCC flakes. We all know how much I love crellies, especially white crellies! This is a crelly lovers dream! Applies and dries like a dream. Builds up nice and opaque. My swatch shows 3 thin coats + top coat. I believe with thicker coats this could be opaque in 2. 

These will be available Sept. 21st, 9am est. 

They retail for $11.50 each or $60 for the whole collection.

Hello friends! Today I’ve got my swatches of the upcoming Crellycrate! Crellycrate is from the Crazy 4 Crellies Facebook Group. They've revisioned the box and now the crellycrate features bespoke trios based around a general theme and complementary palettes. To kick things off this fall the polishes are based on films from the legendary Tim Burton - Beetlejuice, Nightmare before Christmas and The Corpse Bride! 

Onto the swatches! 

Beetlejuice Inspired:

Cuticula “Lets Turn Up The Juice” scented top coat 

A harmonious blend of orange and lemon juice, açaí berries, starfruit, mellow cucumber, and a squeeze of lime. Semi thick, not too runny, not sticky thick. Dries down quickly.
Polish ‘M “I’m The Ghost With The Most Babe” 

A white crelly with black, grape purple, lavender and apple green matte glitter with purple fleck shimmer. Polish M crellies are my favorites. This one is just as fantastic. Nice smooth application, no glitter chasing. My swatch shows 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

Anchor & Heart “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlej...”

A purple jelly with strong green shimmer and green, purple, lavender, and lime glitter in various finishes and sizes. This one has slight glitter chasing. It’s possible that a slightly thicker coat would prevent that. My swatch shows 3 thin coats + cuticula Top Coat. 

These are $10 each for Polish ‘M and Anchor & Heart; $8.50 for Cuticula, or $25 for the trio!

Nightmare Before Christmas Inspired: 

Bees Knees “Oogie Boogie”

A pale chartreuse crelly with strong green shimmer and gold iridescenct flakies. I was iffy at first but I have to say, this one is fan-freaking-tastic! Instant falling in love moment, this would make a fantastic base for just about any nail art! My swatch shows 3 coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

Sassy Pants Polish “Moonlit Stargazers” 

A black jelly base with strong midnight blue shimmer and assorted copper, purple, violet and silver glitters. I absolutely love this one on the nail! Look at the glitter floating in the sea of shimmer. My swatch is 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

Kathleen & Co “Lovely Sally” 

A light blue crelly with aurora shimmer, red/gold flakies and red metallic micro flakies. Creamy and dreamy, seriously loving this one! My swatch shows 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. This could probably be opaque in 2 thicker coats. 

These are $12 each or the trio for $30. 

The Corpse Bride Inspired: 

Girly Bits “Dying To Get Here”

A medium grey crelly base with a soft blue shimmer, teal green/blue ultra chameleon flakes, and a sprinkle of silver and lime holographic micro glitter. Grey crellies are easy to love, this formula is fantastic and buttery! My swatch shows 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

Pretty Beautiful Unlimited “Tragic Romance”

A medium lime green crelly with a subtle violet/blue/green shimmer, scattered holographic, purple metallic micro flakes and 6 different types of UCC flakies. Another awesome crelly! The color combo of this one gets me right into the Halloween spirit! My swatch shows 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

Top Shelf Lacquer “Wine Of Ages”

A marshmallow white crelly with purple glass fleck, tons of holo sparkle and royal purple flakies. Ok ok so white crellies are my favorite I can’t lie. I just LOVE them all, this one is great! The shard type flakes cling to the nail with ease. My swatch shows 3 thin coats + Cuticula Top Coat. 

These are $12 each or the trio for $33. 

Polishes are available for preorder Sept 14-22 on the Polish ‘M website!

Deneb.008

I love that pops of holo glitter within this one! The shift in most lights is purple/blue but depending you might catch a bit of green also. My swatch shows 3 coats + top coat.

Antares.029

The violet/red/orange shifting beauties are my some of my favorites! I think they remind me of fall and they give me all the cozy feels. My swatch shows 3 coats + top coat. 

Beta Ceti.055

I have to say I don’t think I own another multichrome in this range. It’s a lovely pink/champagne/neutral almost, I don’t know but it’s beautiful! My swatch shows 3 coats + top coat. 

Formalhaut.036

Another instant favorite, I love the shift on this one. Le sigh! Violet/purple/green/blue... to die for! The holo and holo micro glitters are fun too! My swatch shows 3 coats + top coat. 

If you’re looking for some pretty multichrome additions you should check these out. You can find these in the Pi Colors shop on September 7th!
