12 Days of Christmas Challenge - Day 2

Happy Friday Lovelies!


Today I have for you, Cult Nails - Disciplined

Disciplined is our next installment of the recent "Behind Closed Doors Collection" and is described as follows: 

"Disciplined is a sheer but buildable soft grey with purple, pink and blue shimmer." - Cult Nails 

I was worried that this color might be really close to 'My Kind of Cool Aid' but it is actually very different! My Kind of Cool Aid leans more purple and has a dustier quality where Disciplined is more gray/blue and is packed with pink and blue shimmer. 

Application and drying time for Disciplined were both great. I did three thin coats with no top coat for the photos below.

Just look at that shimmer!

12 Days of Christmas Challenge - Day 1

Hello my lovely polish people!

I hope you are all having a spectacular Wednesday. Today I have for you Coveted from The Behind Closed Doors Collection by Cult Nails! 

I was planning on finishing swatching the collection as a whole today, but instead plan to continue doing individual posts that included nail art for each shade. 

Today I joined a wonderful group of bloggers in what will be my first nail art challenge. I am super excited about this! More info about this after the review!

Coveted is described as follows: 

"Coveted is a jelly deep green with metallic green flakes and subtle green shimmer." - Cult Nails 

I am absolutely in love with this color! Out of all 5 colors from this collection Coveted was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it did not disappoint!

Just look at those flakies! 

Coveted was a little tricker to apply than flushed because of the flakes but in no way gave me trouble. I have yet to find a Cult Nails polish that didn't apply flawlessly, and I own quite a few!

I did three thin coats with no top coat for the photo below.

Onto the challenge: 

Day One: Only Red & Green

Base Color: Cult Nails - Coveted

Stamping Color: Butter LONDON - Knees Up

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Plate BM21

Topcoat: Butter LONDON - Hardwear

NOTD: Cult Nails Flushed w/ Stamping

Here I was swatching the new Cult Nails collection, when I get to Flushed, not surprisingly I couldn't justify taking it off! Needless to say my swatch fest ceased and Nail Art began.

Flushed is a limited edition color that was recently released in the Behind Closed Doors collection. It is described as follows:

"Flushed is true "Blurple" (blue/purple) buildable sheer with an intense purple/pink shimmer effect that appears to glow through the polish." - Cult Nails

Application was flawless, which is usual for Cult Nails polishes. I used three thin coats but full opacity can probably be achieved with two. This is without topcoat. 

I added some stamping using butter LONDON's Lillibet's Jubillee and stamping plate SE20. Lillibet's Jubilee is described as follows:

"A silvery, lavender metallic foil, heavily infused with holographic glitter" - butter LONDON

Flushed has so much depth the pictures don't do it justice! In some lights it leans more blue than others and you can really see the sparkle!

Yesterday morning I added butter LONDON's Frilly Knickers over the stamping for some sparkle. 

As you can see from the photo Flushed has worn beautifully. I often get tip wear the same day I apply polish, even when wrapping the tips, and this manicure is going on three days with no tip wear!

Cult Nails polishes can be purchased for $10 here. 
butter LONDON polishes can be purchased for $14 here

As of today Flushed is currently sold out, I have no information as to its return.
