Shinespark Polish: The Heat Collection

***PRESS SAMPLE***

Something amazing is launching today - some jaw-dropping GORGEOUS thermals by Shinespark Polish!!  Oh, you wanna see some swatches?  I suppose I can show you some ;)  These thermals are the "heat" part of this "The Light, The Heat" collection.

*Note: In all photos, polishes are shown in 3 thin coats with HKGirl Glisten & Glow topcoat.  Any art that is present is freehanded by me.

Let's start with "Peacock:"





Peacock is a lovely turquoise/teal metallic polish that shifts from a light teal when warm to a dark teal that flashes green at certain angles when cold.

Next is "Dusk:"





Dusk is a lovely light purple with a blurple shimmer that changes to a deep dark purple when cold.

This next beauty is "Tiger Eye:"





Tiger Eye is a tan/gold metallic that shifts to a dark brown when cold.

Next is "Purple Martin:"





Purple Martin is a light purple metallic with a light blue shimmer that shifts very subtly to a darker purple when cold.

Last up is "Hummingbird:"





Hummingbird is a beautiful light green metallic that shifts to a dark forest green when cold.

The Ups: The application of these polishes was smooth as butter!  They all dried fairly quickly in under 5 minutes with no gooping or pulling of under layers.  The colors are so stunning in both states, and complement each other well.

The Downs:  Not all of the shifts were apparent - Purple Martin's was so subtle I wasn't sure if it had changed until I took a macro of it.  That was the only "issue" I came across with these polishes.

Overall:  I adore these colors!!  I love that they are metallic and rich and they really stand out nicely!  Hummingbird is my favorite of these - the shift is perfection and the greens are just gorgeous!  This collection is very unique and very beautiful!

As I stated in the beginning, the collection launched today along with the solar changing polishes (the "light" half)!  You can purchase the polishes individually at $8 for the 15ml full size or $3.75 for the 5ml mini size HERE.  If you want all the thermals of the collection, you can purchase them for $32.50 for the 15ml full size, and $17.25 for the 5ml mini size HERE.  You can also follow Shinespark polish via Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with the brand!

What do you think of these polishes?  Any of them stand out most to you?  Will you be picking any up today?

  9. I've seen so many swatches of this collection. I keep thinking it will grow on me and it just doesn't. I think it's the frosted/pearlescent look. Your swatches are beautiful as always though!

  13. I'm not liking these too much because I'm not a fan of the frosty/ pearlized look. But I'm so impressed that those additions are freehand nail art! I could have sworn they were decals or stamps!
