Priti NYC Black Hole collection

Press Sample

When Priti NYC contacted me to swatch some of their polish, I was beyond excited. I have several polishes of theirs in my personal collection. I love polishes that are five free and vegan. Today I have polishes from their Black Hole Winter collection. They are gorgeous!! Hope you like them.

First up, Black Mondo. A super rich medium grayish blue cream with silver shimmer. Flawless formula with easy application. Brush is a little thick, but the width is perfect. This is two coats with no top coat. 

Green Wizard Rudbeckia. Army green crelly with gold flaky bits and gold shimmer. Hard to capture the complexity. Formula was great. This is two coats, no top coat. 

Black Hollycock. This is polish is gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorites. Black jelly, filled with blue, green, silver and copper micro glitter. Gorgeous polish and flawless in three coats. Topped with one coat of HK Girl top coat. 

Last but not least. Midnight Blue Gerbera. This was my favorite. I didn't think this blue was going to amaze me like it did but WOW it's so pretty. This is a cobalt blue jelly filled with silver micro glitter. This is a perfect winter shade. I wish I would have had this around Christmas for the snow mani I had done.

Old Swatch Spam!

Hey Y'all! Today I was cleaning up my hard-drive and I found a few manis swept into the corners collecting dust. Most of these are from 6 months ago before I used my current photo setup, so they are all taken in the daylight with the gorgeous background of my curtain (except the first one). I don't really like any of these photos, but the polishes themselves are still great, so here they are!

I like this one, even with the awkward right hand pose. This was for a "dot mani" competition for ChitChat Nails. The challenge? Hold a weird/random object. I think the winner held some feminine napkins and had a gorgeous mani to match. I was very impressed. I just wanted to see what kind of a random object I could come up with so I went with the fluorescent bulb.

Red Plague

This is a random red franken from a while ago. I named it "Red Plague" since it's a red jelly base with red glitter in two sizes, shimmer, flakeys, and pretty much everything red I could think of to add. I haven't worn this one in a while for whatever reason but I should really wear it again!

Models Own Copper Pot.

I was super excited for Copper Pot but it bubbled like none other. It had been on my wishlist for some time so I had high expectations. I might have to try again, but I still have nightmares about that horrible application. 

Whimsical Polish Peanut Butter and Jelly.  

Purple shimmer base with purple and gold glitter.  I love my Whimsies, and I'm not sure why I never posted this one, the clean-up job was awful, but I absolutely love this polish. It's so much fun to wear, I'll have to re-photograph it one of these days. 

Fail dotticure. Sephora by OPI Bite Me with Zoya Trixie. I hated how this turned out.

 Sephora + Pantone Universe Tangerine Tango 

I was extremely excited for the Sephora + Pantone Universe Tangerine Tango set when I ordered it. I must have taken 300 pictures of these polishes for the blog and never got around to publishing it! I don't remember many of the details of the polishes and I haven't used them since, so here's all I can remember.

Tangerine Tango - Creme. I remember the formula being decent, 2 coats.

Tangerine Tango Matte - formula was a bit sheer and streaky, 3 coats.

Tangerine Tango Glitter (over matte). 

 This one was the clear winner of the collection, a dense glitter packed with orange and copper glitter pieces. I need to pull this one back out for Halloween! This was 2 coats.

Tangerine Tango Shimmer - This was the most sheer.
 I layered two coats over the creme for this photo.

 It reminds me a lot of China Glaze Riveting only more sheer, less pigmented. 

Don't these photos look different than my most recent photos? My what a difference a few months can make!
