Freak Show Polish Zodiac Collection - Swatches & Review!


Hi guys, Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a wonderful week :) Any fun weekend plans?
Nothing too exciting going on here, we have to run to go get more things for the house. 
We bought a new mattress & still need to get new bedding, gutter extenders, more blinds and some curtains.  
Our TV stand broke during the move too so we have to get a new one : / Luckily that was the only casualty!

______________________________________________________

First off I didn't realize until after swatching that these are intended to be textured polishes /facepalm
So I swatched Cancer without topcoat to let you see how it looks both ways.
This collection can be built up and worn on their own or as glitter toppers, from the other reviews I saw I didn't see many using them as toppers so I decided to go that way. Mostly anyway. I did use a couple on their own! I did my best to find undies that paired well with them all nicely.

It's really impressive to me that Carissa was able to make so many micro glitters in one collection 
and yet keep they all so different from one another, and they look so different built up vs layered!
For layering the formula is exceptional, the glitters applied smoothly and evenly.
When building them up on their own there will be a couple spots that may need a little dabbing or "touching up" though.

The layering options with these are practically endless! My favorite combos I did are SagittariusLibra, & Scorpio.

  8. You do the best polish combo-layering!

    All of these are fab! I love that most can be worn alone if layered a couple of times.
