piCture pOlish LE Shades: Illusionist, Gravity, Aurora, Solar Flare and Altered State
This Thursday, piCture pOlish are releasing a range of limited edition shades and I've got a little sneaky peak of the polishes to show you today. There's a cosmic theme running through the collection and the polishes are all toppers intended to be worn over black creating a dimensional, multichrome look. There are also tiny holographic particles mixed in to 4 of the shades. The shades are Gravity, Altered State, Illusionist, Solar Flare and Aurora (which is super limited edition).
These swatches are one coat of each polish over a base colour of No7 Just Black. These shades look breathtaking in the bottles but it doesn't even compare to when they're on the nail. What I find fascinating is how the polish on the brush looks way too sheer - almost clear - to have any impact with just one coat but one coat is all you need to bring out these vibrant colours.
I'm wearing, from thumb to pinky: Illusionist | Gravity | Aurora | Solar Flare | Altered State
My favourite shades are Gravity and Altered State, the blue/teal and purple respectively. I have nothing against the other shades, I'm just a sucker for blues and purples!
There are only 800 bottles of Aurora available and you're limited to one bottle each if you plan to order from the website to keep things fair for everyone. But if you can't get your hands on that one, it's similar in many ways to Illusionist. Illusionist is just lacking in the micro glitter and doesn't have the same strong multichrome shimmer that shifts from green to purple to pink.
The shades retail at AUD$13.50 (AUD$14.00 for Aurora) and will be available from Thursday February 20th on the piCture pOlish website and soon after from international retailers.
