Elevation Polish Spam: SBP's & Ooops

Ahem, yes I am back again with more Elevation Polish.  Hope you don't mind.  You might actually mind this one since these are all SBP's (Small Batch Production) or Ooops and you only have 2 chances to get them (much like the Yetis).  So that means unless you find them on a destash sale you won't be able to get any of the polish in this post.  Me sorry.  But they are so gorgeous I really needed to share them.

Saya de Malha.  What can I say?  This is an absolutely breathtaking peachy holo.  It's perfection.  Saya de Malha has a loose linear effect and a super creamy formula.  It applied like butter.  I used 2 coats of Saya de Malha and no topcoat.  

I know yellow is not a very loved color, but it's totally my jam.  I adore yellow and will wear it proudly - especially if it's the fabulous Mustard Fields from EvP!  This is a mustard yellow, scattered holo with teeny gold flakes.  It's reading a bit more chartreuse in my pictures but it truly is a fabulous yellow.  Great formula and application.  I used 2 coats of Mustard Fields for perfect coverage and no topcoat.  

This isn't an SBP, but it is an Ooops.  From what I gather it's a core polish that was a mistake in the ingredients to create a slightly different look to it.  This is Ooops McKinley.  It's a lovely soft lavender  crelly.  I love the color and the finish.  I used 3 coats of Ooops McKinley for full coverage and no topcoat needed!  

Blue Valentine Mani featuring Lumina Lacquer Forever Thine Forever Mine and Clear Eyes, Full Hearts And Elevation Polish Abano

Good morning!  I have another Valentine mani to share with you but I'm switching it up and using a different color (not red or pink)!  So yay for blue Valentine's!  I mean really, you can do a Valentine mani with any color you like, just draw on some hearts and you're good to go!  But the blues I used in this are really something special.  And the glitter topper ties it all together.  So lets jump in to the pictures and I'll tell you all about the polish I used!

The first thing I did to creat this mani was to get the blue gradient on my nails.  I started by applying Lumina Lacquer Clear Eyes, Full Hearts and Forever Thine Forever Mine onto a makeup sponge.  I pressed the polished sponge onto my nails.  I think these blues worked together so well and really blended nicely to create a lovely gradient effect.  Clear Eyes, Full Hearts is an amazing cobalt blue with scattered holo particles.  CEFH is so creamy and opaque!  When worn alone you can easily get away with 1 coat!  Forever Thine Forever Mine is gorgeous blue that sits somewhere between teal and aqua (taqua?  aqueal?).  FTFM also has a very creamy and opaque color that can be worn in 1 coat.  Because I was applying with a sponge I used 3 coats to get the color to my liking.  I have used many colors to gradient with, these 2 were so easy to work with.  They covered well, staying their true color (instead of losing color on the sponge and only having silvery shimmer end up on my nails).  I also used 1 coat of Clear Eyes, Full Hearts on my accent nail.  I topped my gradient nails with Elevation Polish SBP (small batch prototype) Abano.  Abano is a blue, white, silver and red glitter topper.  It's a fun color combination and I love the blue hearts in there the most.  I used 1 coat of Abano.  It applied nicely, the glitters came out easily and laid flat on my nails.  I drew silver hearts on my accent nail with OPI Push & Shove.  1 layer of topcoat finished this mani off.   

Elevation Polish Spam!

I'm back tonight with a post I've been working on for a few days.  I adored every one of these colors and am so glad I had the good fortune to snag them all!  Lulu from Elevation Polish makes some extremely fabulous, high quality polish.  It's nice to have so many finish choices in one outstanding indie brand - Lulu excels in cremes, jellies, holos, glitters, shimmers!  You name it and shes got it.  She also has one of a kind and Small Batch Prototypes (SBP) that are exciting to snag (almost like winning the lottery amongst other polish fanatics).  Unfortunately the majority of the polish I am sharing tonight are not available as they were SBP, exclusive or discontinued.  But there are so many others that are fantastic you won't miss a thing.  There is a restock coming up on 12/22 at 9:00 am CST.

Up first we have Mountain Air.  Mountain Air is a gorgeous taupe-nude base with a soft holo shimmer.  I simply adore nude holos and this on is absolutely dreamy!  Formula and application were both fantastic!  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  This was a SBP.

This beautiful, shimmery green-blue color is Mountian Mint.   It's such a soft and delicate minty color, it's very refreshing.  Mountain Mint also has a beautiful iridescent light pink-purple shimmer and a smidgen of green and gold micro glitter.  Fabulous formula and application on this one as well. I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  This was a SBP.

Mount Agepsta is another stunning polish - it's a meduim dusty blue with blue and purple shimmer.  Such a gorgeous color that is perfect for any time of year.  The shimmer is so prominent in the sunshine...you'd have to see it in person becuase my sunshine picture did not do it justice.  Mount Agepsta had impeccable formula and application.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  This was an exclusinve color.

I was given this beauty as a gift and I love it!  Marble Caves is a fabulous polish with a purple jelly-ish base.  It has purple and blue sparkly glitters throughout that have a glowy effect.  It also has a thermal look - darker around the edges, lighter in the middle, such a cool effect.  The first coat on Marble Caves was pretty sheer, but it built up great after 3 coats.  I did not use topcoat.  This is a discontinued polish.

Wuyi Mountain is one that I was lusting after pretty bad.  It was a SBP that I'd missed, sad days.  BUT Llarowe picked this up as one of her exclusive colors and it's still available today!  Wuyi Mountain is a bright grassy green base with green and turquoise shimmer.  So beautiful!  The shimmer on this one really shines through.  Formula and application were both amazing.  I used 3 coats and no topcoat.

Finally I have I <3 Yeti.  I really do <3 Yeti.  I was determined to get this last year and my stalking paid off!  Yeti is a milky white base full of matte white glitters.  There are mostly hexs, with a few white hearts for happy surprises.  There is also this amazing blue shimmer that really shows up well against the white base.  I used 2 coats of Orly Au Champagne and 1 coat of I<3 Yeti.  I used 1 layer of topcoat to seal in and smooth out the glitter.  This was a SBP.
