Elevation Polish SPAM: Miscellaneous Core Colors

Good morning and happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend will be exciting and full of plans.  OR I hope your weekend is relaxing and you never get out of pajamas.  You choose.  I have come to the end of my Elevation Polish SPAM posts, for now since I already have 4 more sitting on my desk.  I hope you have enjoyed the posts and the SPAM - I will definitely be doing more SPAM featuring a specific brand in my attempts to slash through my untrieds.  It's fun for me and nice to give some polish much needed love.  So this post is full of miscellaneous EvP from various collections.  Mostly shimmers.  So let's go ahead and jump in!

El Cap II, you blue beauty.  I love your shimmer.  El Cap II is a periwinkle shade full of purple shimmer.  This one has a bit of a thinner formula so be cautious when painting so you dno't flood your cuticles.  BUT the coverage is perfect in 2 coats!  No topcoat.  I don't see this one listed in the shop so I am not sure if it's available.  *my macro came out horribly color inaccurate so I didn't include it - sorry!*

The Med 2 is from The Sea Collection, June 2014.  It's a "blue teal with micro green shimmer and green/gold medium sizd shimmer."  The shimmer in here is pretty heavy and it makes for a truly gorgeous polish.  The formula and application were both fabulous.  I used 2 coats of The Med 2 and no topcoat.

Pic de Subenuix is stunning "blue leaning purple base tone, blue irridescent shimmer, packed full of light green micro shimmer."  WOW!  This is truly an amazing polish.  The first coat of Pic de Subenuix was sheer but it built up nicely in 3 coats.  No topcoat.

Quarter Past Midnight is from the Journey Told Through Music Collection, January 2015.  It's a stunning "blue to purple duochrome."  I loved this deep hued shimmery polish.  I saw different shades of blue (navy and teal), purple and magenta.  Lovely.  Formula and application were both fabulous.  I used 2 coats of Quarter Past Midnight and no topcoat.

Darkness of the Arctic 2 is from The Darkness Collection, December 2014.  It's a "near black bittersweet chocolate brown with an arrangement of gold shimmer, gold flakie shimmer, bronze flake shimmer, copper shimmer."  Holy cow that's a delicious blend of colors.  It's all in a jelly-ish base.  The formula and application were both wonderful.  I used 2 coats of Darkness of the Arctic 2 for full coverage and no topcoat.

Shinlin Stone Forest, from The Forest Collection, July 2014 was a real surprise for me.  I knew from swatches that it was pretty but I was in love with it once I got it on my nails.  Shinlin Stone Forest is a  "light grey with dark grey flake shimmer and low density holographic pigment."  The shimmer and flakes are really the stars in this polish.  Formula and application were both perfect.  I used 2 coats of Shinlin Stone Forest and a layer of topocat.

We've come to the end.  The last polish in my EvP SPAM posts.  This is Avenue of the Baobabs.  I swear this makes me think of a Dr. Suess whimsical made up land.  Avenue of the Baobabs is also from The Forest Collection, July 2014.  It's a "taupe that leans a little grey with a gentle sparkle of multi colored shimmer and a touch of blue flake shimmer."  I really like the multi colored shimmer in here.  Formula and application were once again perfect.  I used 2 cots of Avenue of the Baobabs and 1 layer of topcoat.

Elevation Polish Spam Day 1

Good morning dears and happy Monday!  I'm watching the World Cup (shocker) and writing up a few posts.  I'm excited that I have a few days of amazing polish lined up for you and they are all from Elevation Polish!  I am a big fan of the brand and feel that Lulu always puts out high quality and beautiful products.  If you haven't jumped on the EvP train yet you need to get a ticket right now!  Let's delve in and see at what I have for you to peruse today.

Elevation Polish: Shop, Llarowe, Blog, Instagram

River Rock, from the Stones Throw collection is a "dark charcoal with red shimmer."  In the sunlight the red shimmer is actually so strong it gives the base a purpleish tint.  Formula and application of River Rock were both amazing.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  River Rock is currently available for purchase.  







Freeway Park is a medium toned green polish with blue and silver shimmer.  I don't remember when or where I got this polish but I am so very happy I have it!  It's the most perfect green I own and the formula/application are both amazing.  I used 2 layers of Freeway Park and no topcoat.  Freeway Park is no longer available.  







The Twinkle In Yeti's Eye is simply amazing.  I am in love with this blue toned teal that is packed full of coppery shimmer.  The formula was an amazing crelly like finish and I had full coverage in 2 coats.  The Twinkle In Yeti's Eye was released in March, was a limited edition and is no longer available.  *pictures show some lightness by my nail tips but in real life the color was much more saturated*






Ninja Yeti....hello to this amazing surprise polish that came in my May order!  Lulu is so amazing she threw surprises in to qualifying orders as a thank you to her customers.  Ninja Yeti is a blend  of black glitters, purple and holo shimmer.  It's so lovely and a perfect topper to wear over any color.  The glitter comes out easily and in mutha loads!  It spread easily on my nails and I was completely happy with the payoff in 1 coat!  I have Ninja Yeti over The Twinkle In Yet's Eye and 1 layer of topcoat.  







El Cap II is equally as beautiful as the original El Cap.  Lulu describes El Cap II as a "bright blue with subtle violet/pink shimmer."  I ended up loving this color just as much as I love the original and I am very happy I have both.  Formula and application were both fabulous.  I used 2 layers of El Cap II and no topcoat.  El Cap II is available to purchase.
