Cult Nails Hypnotize Me

The finale of the Hypnotic collection from Cult Nails is Hynotize Me.  Now originally, I just wasn't thrilled about this color - I didn't know exactly what it was from the bottle picture and I kept thinking "Meh."  Boy, was I wrong.  This color is like a CND Effect on steroids.  It's TONS of blue and green microglitter in a Granny Smith green apple jelly base.  It's STUNNING on the nail.  I put 2 coats on my nails but I probably could have been fine with 1 since there's so much going on in this polish.  Index finger: Enigmatic; Middle finger: In A Trace; Ring finger: Awakening; Pinkie finger: bare.  While this is a lab sample, again I believe this is very close or is the same as the actual color.  Because this is a "thirsty" glitter, I put one coat of nubar Diamont over it, and the finish was smooth but without any top coat, the top of my nail felt a bit gritty.

Hello blue baby!  As you can see on the bare nail, it's that green jelly like base color.

Moved the bottle to the side so you can see all that glitter!  I really love the way this looks over both Awakening and Enigmatic.

Shade picture.

Indoors with the flash - check out how pretty it looks!  In person you can see a shift from the green to the blue which doesn't quite capture on camera but it's super beautiful.  If you're on the fence, don't be - get it!


The Hypnotic Collection is now available in their shop for $10 a bottle or $40 for the whole collection.  You can like Cult Nails on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.  Once they reach 5,000 Likes on Facebook, Maria will be offering all polishes for only $5!

Cult Nails Enigmatic

Continuing with Cult Nail's fall collection is Enigmatic, a dark purple with silver micro-glitter.  Now please note that while this is a lab sample, I do believe it's very close to the final result - if not the exact same.  Like Awakening, the first coat for me was a little too jelly but after just one more coat, the polish was opaque (except for my pinkie - not sure what happened there).  I used a base of Zoya Get Even, 2 coats of polish and a top of nubar Diamont.

Unlike most dark purples out these days, there is no red and blue microglitter (THANK YOU MARIA!) but instead just a bit of silver.  I decided to turn the bottle so you can see how it pretty it is.

It's so swirly pretty!  

In the shade, you can see that silver microglitter a bit better.  Because this is a dark vampy purple, it looks super dark without the sun behind it.

Finally indoors with the flash - again I don't know what was going on with my pinkie but this is a very nice opaque polish with 2 coats.  Very lovely and actually unique in my collection!

Cult Nails In A Trance

The fall Hypnotic collection from Cult Nails is available online now!  This is In A Trance, a shimmering olive green that has a gold shift to it.  I really thought it was going to be a drab color at first but the gold in this really punches it up!  I used a base coat of Zoya Get Even, 2 coats of polish and a top of nubar Diamont.  Diamont played very well with this polish, and Maria had said that she used Diamont in the past and never had a problem so I'm pretty sure it was just user error on my part.

Here in the sun you can start already to see that gold flash in there - it's such a pretty color!  Definitely a fall color for sure (which this 100 degree weather is for the birds) as I think it would look amazing with a long sweater :]

Here in the shade you can really see the olive green but the gold shimmer is a lot more hidden.  It's a great use of shimmer though because it's not streaky and not overly flashy.

Finally indoors with the flash and it's just a beautiful flash of gold and green at the same time.  I'm glad that I looked at this color twice because it's so pretty!


And I have something up my sleeve for my dear readers!  More on it later but it has to do with Awakening and In a Trance.  ^_^

Dr.'s REMEDY Bold

Next in the Dr,'s REMEDY Hot Hot Hot Summer 2011 Collection is Bold, a baby blue shimmer that has a lot of sparkly white in it.  I originally thought it might be like Zoya Crystal but Bold doesn't have any gold in it.  I used a base of Zoya Get Even, 2 coats of Bold and a top of nubar Diamont.  The formula on this was much better than Nurture.

It almost looks a bit matte in the sun like Zoya Phoebe but has more of a metallic/foil like finish than matte.  If you don't like the brush strokes of pearl shimmer, then you can always add a crackle or glitter over it to disguise it.

In the shade, the silver shimmer totally takes over and this looks like a completely different polish!  It reminds me of an ice blue - not at all like the metallic seen above.

Finally indoors with the flash (and a naked thumb!) and that blue metallic is glaring again.  Even though I have some similar colors this is unique in my bunch.
