Happy Saturday! Hope you're all having a good weekend so far! Today I have some polishes from Dollish Polish to show you guys. Dollish Polishes are custom frankens available on etsy. It's kind of amazing how many awesome polishes are being made by bloggers and/or nail polish fanatics and being sold on etsy...if you've never searched etsy for nail polish you are missing out! I really love what Dollish Polish is doing, not only are the polishes gorgeous but I am loving the name and themes of the polishes! My new favorite polish of all time in here in this post, I guarantee it's worth clicking the read more button below!
Aurora Australis is a color changing top coat in a clear base. The flecks of shimmer in this flash purple, pink and a goldish orangey color. I love a good multichrome and the ability to layer it over whatever I want. I'm looking forward to trying this over a variety of colors! I used 1 coat over black for the photos below!
Cold Winds Are Rising is a gorgeous grey with icy blue glitter mixed in. There is beautiful blue hex glitter in here but I was having problems getting it out of the bottle, only the smaller blue glitter wanted come out to play I guess :( This was actually the second time I wore this and the first time I got a lot of the hex glitter (and of course took no photos lol). It's a really gorgeous mix that I love! The formula was nice on this one, a little on the sheer side but I think it needs to be that way so that you can see the glitter. I used 3 coats for the photos below.
Dark Passenger is a gorgeous blurple metallic shade. I wanted this one soley for the name...I am a HUGE Dexter fan, luckily the polish is pretty great also! In the bottle it looked very purple but on the nail it leaned more blue with a royal purple flash. You can see the flash in the second picture below, it is a lot more noticeable in person. Formula wise I didn't love this one it way on the very thick side, despite that it was easy to apply. I think a couple drops of thinner would fix it right up! I used 2 coats for the photos below!
Sorry the weird shade of my skin here, I had to play around with the white balance on my camera to get the color to photograph correctly!
Expecto Patronum is a milky white jelly with blue glitter and a subtle shimmer. I love love love this one, sometimes I feel like wearing white polish but decide not to since it can look like white out...next time I get that urge I will be wearing this. The glitter is very subtle but just perfection in this white jelly base. I really adore the subtle shimmer in the white also, you can't see it in my pictures very well but in person it just made this polish even better. The formula was a little sheer, as expected, but for a white jelly it was pretty great! I used 3 coats for the photos below.
Scarab is a gorgeous mix of Green, Blue, Gold, Black and Chestnut glitter in a clear base. This polish is actually part of a collection on Dollish Polish, the Valley Of The Kings Collection. I thought this might be opaque on it's own but after 3 coats it wasn't so I decided to take it off and layer it. I have it over Orly You're Blushing, I think it would look pretty amazing over a dark blue or black also! I used 1 coat of Scarab over You're Blushing for the photos below. This is SO much better in real life!
Toxic Avenger is a multichrome linear holo. Think Ozotic Mish Mash polishes on crack. This sucker is a bazillion times better than the Ozotic multichrome holos. The holo in this is super noticeable, even inside you can tell it's holo. The multichrome flashes green, pinkish purple and gold. This is my new favorite polish of all time, that is how much I love it. I've worn this twice already and will probably be putting it back on next week haha! I also got really great wear on this, I had it on for 4 days with no top coat it had no chipping and only minor tip wear! I used 2 coats for the photos below! You may want to double up on base coat with this, it did cause a little bit of staining on me. Also just wanted to mention that the holo was a bit stronger in real life, it'a always hard to capture on camera!
Dollish Polish is available from http://www.etsy.com/shop/DollishPolish, the polishes are super affordable ranging from $7.50-$8.25 for a full sized polish. You can also buy mini bottles for $4. Toxic Avenger is sold out right now...are we surprised...no! No worries though, it should be back around 2/6! In addition to making great polish you can also buy hand painted nail tips and nail art supplies!

ReplyDeleteI used to paint my nails with white out in jr high! LOL. Love your swatches, and you may know this already, but LAcquistry and Nerd Lacquer-both on Etsy- restocked their shops last night! AND they both have new polishes on there! I have already bought some from them both!
ReplyDeleteI like shimmer! XoXo
ReplyDeletewow @ toxic avenger!!! amazing.
ReplyDeleteso pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your swatches Jen! I have Toxic Avenger, Expecto Patronum and Grey Winds Are Rising too. I definitely bought all three for the names (fangirl moment x10 for all three) but I'm happy that the polishes rock so much! I swatched them on a color wheel but have yet to wear them out. I'll definitely double up on my basecoat when I wear Toxic Avenger though.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really love Expecto Patronum and Scarab! So pretty
ReplyDeleteToxic Avenger is amazing, crazy, and stunning! I almost want Expecto Patronum for the name alone haha! But I like the color as well. Very soft and pretty. All of these are great polishes.
ReplyDeletegreat swatches and great polishes!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I almost fainted when I saw Toxic Avenger :O. I think it's the most amazing polish I've ever seen...
ReplyDeleteToxic Avenger is my fav..I also like the gray and white ones! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG Can't wait to get Toxic Avenger!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCold winds are rising is my FAVE! Thanks for giving us a heads up on whats available on Etsy!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I like scarab esp over the underlying polish, it reminds me of an egg, lol. I think I'm ready for Easter/Spring because everything is reminding me of eggs and candies
ReplyDeleteyour swatches are so beautiful! im wearing Toxic Avenger as we speak and i absolutely love it!!
ReplyDeletetoxic avenger is really nice !! <3
ReplyDeleteWow! I must get Toxic Avenger.
ReplyDeleteMy god - I'm on etsy all the time but I'd never thought to look there for nail polish. That holo especially looks right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteO my!!! Toxic Avenger is AMAZING!!!!!!! Thanks for showing us these gorgeous polishes!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for the swatches! Toxic Avenger is really pretty! Just added it to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the first two glitters! The white one reminds me of the Jawbreakers candy. Excuse my polish ignorance... but what does Franken mean?
ReplyDeleteFrankens are a polish that someone makes themselves by mixing together other polishes/glitters/pigments etc... :)
ReplyDeleteomgsh that's so amazing that people are jus making their own polishes and it turns out great!! i like how you said "blurple" hahah sorry, i get amused easily :)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, Toxic Avenger is KILLING IT for me! That lacquer is gorgeous! Thanks for the beautiful swatches!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are some gorgeous polishes!
ReplyDeleteso funny....i ordered some of the same polishes last week. even more excited to see 'em for myself.

ReplyDeletegood old Irish blood :D
Great swatches! I'm wearing toxic avenger now and have been blown away by it all day! Even when I came see the holo the shininess of it is mesmerising! Thank god I bought the full size! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing colors! I definitely am going to check Dollish Polish out the next time I am in the mood to look at polish colors. :)
ReplyDeleteI searched for dollish polish and got a results for danish pastry #fail. What is the name of her store site?
ReplyDeleteThere is a link to it at the bottom of the post
ReplyDeleteDollish is my new favorite indie brand. Dolly is a lovely seller - very friendly, excellent customer service, not to mention talented. She creates such a wide range of colors and I love reading the inspiration behind her polishes.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess she's out of Toxic Avenger...fml.
ReplyDeleteI just received in the mail today
ReplyDeleteExpecto Patronum and Drop.Your.Sword. cannot wait to try them out! Dolly is fab!!
Aw, I'm loving these! Especially Expecto Patronum, JennaFroggy made me a franken that looks similar, but more glittery - I love whites with glitters! I love whites in general, and like you said, it's much easier to where whites when they have a little jazziness to them ;)
ReplyDeleteI really loved the last one, Toxic Avenger *O*
ReplyDeleteI'm from Brazil and I really wanna this cute *O*
