Paint Shop Polish LE Fall 2015 Collection (partial review)

Good evening lovelies!  Soccer this morning really sucked the life out of me - as it would to anyone playing in 90+ temperatures.  I've been laying low in the air conditioning trying to get some energy to do something, anything.  So in my attempt to be both lazy and productive I grabbed a laptop and started editing pictures and typing up posts!  I have a new to me brand to share with you today, Paint Shop Polish.  If you head over to the shop you will see that there is a wide variety of polish in the shop, lots of finishes and colors for everyone!  I even see quite a few cool collection; Vampire Diaries and Harry Potter anyone?!  But this post features a few of the new Limited Edition Fall shades.  Yup you heard me right, limited edition.  So if you like one of the 3 I'm showing you today (or any of the other 6 from the collection) you'd better make your move quickly!  The LE Fall collection is available now and you can choose mini ($6.50) or full ($12) sized bottles.  So sit back, get comfy and let's talk polish!

Paint Shop Polish is Cruelty Free, toluene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, and formaldehyde resin free.

The first polish I have to share with you was my favorite of the 3 I was sent.  This is Plum Skies.  It's described as a plum purple linear holo.  It had a fabulous formula and applied so nicely.  It also had a more creamy finish compared to a more metallic finish that the others in the collection seem to have.  Plum Skies was opaque in 2 coats and I finished with a layer of topcoat.   

Up next is Autumn Wind, a "copper to rose gold to pink to purple color shifting polish."  This is a gorgeous color!  I love that it has fabulous Fall colors shifting around in there.  I did find the formula fairly sheer but Autumn Wind built up after a few layers.  Next time I wear it I will likely start with a nude base color because I had visible nail tips that didn't seem to want to be covered by the polish.  I'm not quite sure what caused that to happen.  I would suggest making sure each layer is dry completely before adding the next.  While I did have those minor issues to bring up I still really enjoyed the polish and the beautiful color.  I used 3 coats of Autumn Wind and a layer of topcoat.

Here's a little something for the brown polish lovers!  Latte, Please! is a rich and luxurious chocolate brown holo.  This is such a yummy polish.  I found the formula a tad on the sheer side but the  application was really lovely.  I ended up using 3 coats of Latte, Please! for full coverage and topped it off with a layer of topcoat.  

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.
