Grace-full Autumnal Pruglies Collection Part 1

This is my first half of the Grace-full Autumn Collection that I collaborated on with Theresa when I won a fan group contest! You can view part 2 here.

I'm very excited to show you all my swatches. Unless otherwise mentioned all my swatches use one layer of Hit the Bottle's 'Varnish Without a Trace' top coat.


Autumn Prism - described as 'an aurora shimmer that moves through tones of red, green and gold'. I used 2 easy coats that built up easily with no patchiness. To me it's a 'rusty' take on the traditional red to green multichrome. In direct light it looks like a glowy brick red. 








Be-leaf in Magic - described as "a forest green crelly base with ultra chrome chameleon flakes in red/gold".

I applied this in 3 thin coats, letting each layer dry (which it did quickly) before applying the next, building up to a dark green shade with red / gold / green multichrome flakes that mimics the shades of autumn leaf shed. The polish was mostly smooth with 1 layer of top coat, though it was slightly textured in spots over larger flakes.








Finally on Taupe - "a taupe base with an orange aurora shimmer flash". 

A beautiful grey/greige/taupe crelly with orange shimmer that built up on 2 thin coats. At extreme angles the shimmer shifts green. Would suit a large variety, if not all, skintones.






Mustard the Courage - described as "a mustard colour linear holo". Last but not least, my favourite polish from this half of the collection. I had to put it next to some of my favourite yellow cushions from IKEA, which really helped to show what sets this polish apart in terms of shade. 

2 thin easy coats: first coat was a marigold yellow, thin but not streaky; second coat built to opacity. Result is a burnished, slightly brassier tone that leans more green/gold than orange in shade. In direct light a linear holo is visible. A very unique colour I'd love to see on other skin tones!







The collection releases on 26th September at 8pm AEST.
