Pretty Jelly ~ Elysian pt. 2 - sunshine pictures

Hi girls, 


I had no sun available when I reviewed Elysian for Edgy Polish recently, so I had to show off the holo by using my flash. I promised Katarina that I'd swatch it again when the sun decided to show itself. Today is that day. 

I am not going to tire you with text about application, drying time and other stuff, because all that is in the original post right here. 

Here are the promised sunshine pictures. This is two coats: 

Rainbows!!!

Stunning is a good word for Elysian! 

One last shot: 

The verdict is still the same: I love Elysian, it's beautiful!! ♥

This polish was sent to me from Edgy Polish in return an honest review.

Teal linear holo

Strong holo – check! Linear – check! Teal – check! Elysian has got to be a winner!

The formula did seem a little bit thin and that had me worry for a little while. For a moment I thought this would be a three coater, but it is not. The second coat smoothed everything out and made it all nice and opaque. The drying time between the two coats is on the fast side.

I won’t bore you with much talk, I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. Here’s two coats, no topcoat, the pic is taken with flash:

The rainbows are amazing!

I love, love, love this colour!

I took this blurry picture by mistake, but I love the way it looks, so I decided to include it in this post ♥

This is what Elysian looks like in my lightbox. No dustiness or greying out, and there are still rainbows!

This picture is taken in my kitchen without flash. The rainbows almost have me swooning!

Verdict:

I don’t have anything but positive to say about Elysian. I love everything about it: The colour, the holo, the drying time and the fact that it looks great in all light conditions! Now stop reading and order it for yourself!

 

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Fast

Finish: Strong linear holo
Overall impression: This is a me-polish on all levels. A must have for teal lovers.

Buy again: Yessir!

Pink linear holo

I really liked the formula of Dream Cloud that I posted yesterday, and was eager to see if they’re all equally good.  

The formula is good, and the polish is really easy to apply. It took two coats to make this look the best and the drying time between the coats is really good. The sun doesn’t want to shine on me at the moment, so my flash will have to do for today, sorry girls!

Here’s what two coats and no topcoat looks like in flashlight:

The crazy linear holo made my camera freak out a little, but look at those rainbows!!

The colour is actually described as a magenta linear holo that can lean purple. Interesting! It didn’t lean purple while I was wearing it – but perhaps it does in the sunshine, who knows :)

Here’s what Floweret looks like in my lightbox.

And here’s a picture taken in my kitchen without flash. The rainbows aren’t shy, that’s for sure!

I made three dots on each nail with Dream Cloud that I showed you yesterday, just because I felt like it. It’s pretty.

Verdict:

This is a great polish on many levels. I love the strong holo effect and the fact that this polish is also pretty in lower lights. It doesn’t have the dustiness in it like many other linear holos have. If you like pink holos, you should consider if Floweret should be included in your collection!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Fast

Finish: Strong linear holo
Overall impression: This is a winner for sure. It looks great both in and out of the sun

Grey scattered holo

This is my first Pretty Jelly-polish, and I’m always eager to try out new brands.

I pulled the brush out of the bottle, and my first impression was good. The formula was nice and easy to work with, and coverage was good too. It took two coats to achieve desired opacity, and the drying time between the coats was good too. Dream Cloud doesn’t require special underwear: I just used my regular base coat and didn’t experience any problems with dragging or bald spots whatsoever. Score.

The sun hasn’t been cooperative lately, so I used my flash for these pictures, to show you the holo effect.

Two easy coats, no topcoat:

The holo is not in your face, but it gives a really cool effect.

The rainbows glow from within for sure!

Here’s a low light picture. A cool base for a bit of stripes, don’t you think? ;)

I grabbed a green striper from L A Colors’ Art Deco series and made three stripes on each nail. And here’s my final mani taken with flash:

I’ve also got a low light picture for you:

Verdict:

I really like the formula of this polish, and am already looking forward to trying the next one on. The colour is great as a base for something more, which you know I almost always do. I can’t really put my finger on anything I don’t like about this polish, so it’s a polished thumbs up from me!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Scattered holo
Overall impression: Good quality, easy to apply, great drying time – score!
