Don't Mess Around With Me is a battleship gray jelly with blue-to-pink duochrome microflakes. I am wearing it here in four thin coats. It is a thicker polish, but spreads nicely and dries very fast and smooth.
Dream Maker is a white jelly with blue-to-pink duochrome micrflakes. This is delightfully ethereal! Worn here again in four thin coats.
Heart Breaker is a carmine jelly with blue-to-gold duochrome microflakes. This is more opaque than the other two, and I am wearing it in three thin coats, though two are enough.
These polishes are intended to be useful for layering, jelly sandwiches and nail art! The set includes a generous baggie of loose heart glitter. I dabbed a little on with my fingers between each of three coats in the mani below to give you an idea of how they look sandwiched. For a real mani, you might consider placing them in patterns with a wax pencil or toothpick.
I thought I would take advantage of their translucency for a simple tape mani and was really happy with the result. It is not at all a typical Valentine's design, but I prefer simple, graphic looks and this suited me. It was also very simple since I have shaky hands and am not very nail art savvy, so I would say this is a great look for beginners!
I also did some reverse stamping using the Bundle Monster BMXL10 plate and Celestial Cosmetics Onyx stamping polish. First I stamped the design on a cheap silicone baking mat I purchased on ebay for less than $3, then filled in the hearts with a brush. After it dried, I painted the back with a couple layers of top coat, then peeled it up after it dried with a tweezer. I applied to to my nails over a layer of tacky top coat, then cleaned up the edges with acetone. I would do this slightly differently next time. I should have put a ground layer of top coat down on the mat before stamping so that my top coat later would not smear the design. Also I should have trimmed the decals down before applying to minimize cleanup. This was my first time doing stamping decals so I will have an improved process for next time!
In addition to the polishes and glitter hearts, you can pick up a key chain or necklace from The Holo Pineapple that was created using polishes in the collection! $30 buys you all three polishes plus a choice of one of the following.
The Ever After Polish Heart Breaker Trio launches on Sunday, January 31 at 4PM EST. The prices will be $10 each for the polishes, $10 for the key chain, $15 for the necklace, or $30 for all three polishes and a choice of either the key chain or necklace. What do you think of jellies? Do any of these catch your fancy?
