Enchanted Polish Swatches & Review

I was able to get some Enchanted Polishes from llarowe.com during a Scratch N Dent sale. If you have never heard of that sale, more on that later. Back to the point, I scored four Enchanted Polishes and I'm totally smitten with them. You have seen them as colorful beach umbrellas or under some stamping.

Disclaimer

I feel I should preface this post with a little info before I both excite and titillate you with these photos. Enchanted Polish polishes are all considered Limited Edition (per her old Etsy page) so I've linked where you can buy them (active at the time of publication) but I cannot guarantee they will be there when you check. I agree with her statement on her Etsy page, if you like it, don't let it get away!

Enchanted Polish Magic Mirror is described as a "lilac with flake holo." I'd agree with that description except I don't think it's very flake-y. It's one of the most holo out of all the polishes shown, you can see a bit of the flame under regular indoor lighting. Available here and here.

Enchanted Polish Disco Barbie is an awesomely named hot pink with scattered/linear holo. It looks like it wants to create a flame, but mostly it's scattered. Great polish even indoors because the color is so bright and pigmented. Available here.

Enchanted Polish Gummy Worm is a lime green scattered holo, likely the least holo out of all of them. Again, very pigmented so it's a fun color to wear regardless of the weather (ie sunlight) and leans yellow so it's super wearable.

Enchanted Polish Cranberry Cosmo is a gorgeous deep cranberry linear holo. I think it ties Magic Mirror for linear holo, look at that flame forming under indoor lighting! Great color, very pigmented, I'd wear this shade even if it wasn't a holo! Available here.

Scratch N Dent Sale

If you've never heard of this sale, I strongly suggest you follow Leah Ann on Facebook or Twitter, because these sales are phenomenal! You essentially pay 15USD for a bag of mystery polishes, and you get at least three polishes from her site that may have been damaged in shipping. Polish is perfect, but the bottle may have been spilled on so she can't sell it. 5USD per polish, essentially, for polishes that sell usually between 8-15 each. Totally worth it. And it's fun that you don't know what you're going to get, but really everything on her site is great, so you can't lose! I got each of these polishes for $5 each. Weee!

Get To The Point

Me Gusta:
  • Gorgeous colors, very pigmented
  • Nice color selection
  • Nice holographic effect
  • Great formula, self leveling, hardly any cleanup required
No Me Gusta:
  • All colors are Limited Edition (according to her old Etsy page), wah!
  • Holo effect isn't strong in some polishes
Verdict: LOVE. Will purchase more!


Bummer Weather

I'm sure you know how it goes when you wear a holographic polish, it's always raining or cloudy so you can't go outside and get good shots showing the holo flame. Here is what it looked like outside when I was wearing these polishes.

Boo!

Info
