Gothic Gala Lacquers Mt. Olympus Collection, Part 2

***Press Sample***

Now that you've had a gander at the first five polishes in the Mt. Olympus Collection by Gothic Gala Lacquers, let's take a look and the remaining five!

First up is Hephaestus:

Hephaestus is a lovely dusty metallic silver, and I really love how it looks with a matte topcoat!

Here is Hera:

Hera is a light, almost lilac metallic purple.  Its formula is a little thinner, like Aphrodite, and took 3 coats to be mostly opaque, as shown in the pics.

Next is Hestia, one of my favorites:

I just love the rich green color of Hestia!!  It's another polish that will be perfect for St. Patrick's Day :D

Up now is Poseidon:

This teal blue is just perfect for Poseidon - makes me want to go visit the ocean ^_^

And last up is the grand Poobah of them all - Zeus:

I love that she chose a striking bright blue to represent Zeus - it's a very strong, bold color that most definitely stands out on its own, and in matte form.  It's a completely gorgeous color, and my other favorite of these new colors :)

Application for all of these has been consistent and the same - smooth and dry in under five minutes.  

Pre-orders for this collection are TODAY, March 1st at 12pm PST and will run through the 9th.  You can purchase the polishes individually at the 10ml size for $7.25, or you can purchase the entire collection at $65.25 for the 10ml size, and $51.75 for the 7ml mini size (only available as a collection, not for the individual polishes).  Shipping for the pre-orders will begin on March 16th, which is when all the polishes will be available at the regular shop price ($7.75 for 10ml individual, $69.75 for 10ml collection, $56.25 for 7ml collection).   

Now that you've seen the rest of the collection, what do you think?  Which one is your favorite of these five?  Are you going to pick any of these beauties up?

Friiiiiiiiday!  W00t!!  I'm very ready for it to be the weekend.  I have a taekwondo tournament tomorrow where I will be doing a short routine with my bow staff.  I'm only a tad nervous...

But let's talk about something way more fun - new polishes from Gothic Gala Lacquers!!  She recently created her largest collection yet inspired by Greek gods, and it is simply divine!!  There are a whopping 10 polishes total, so I'll be splitting up this post over today and tomorrow so you're not overloaded with Awesome ;)  Let's start with the first polish - Aphrodite!

Mattified!

Aphrodite is a beautiful pastel metallic pink.  It is on the thinner side, so even with three coats, as shown in the pictures, you can still see some nail line.  A thin base coat of white or OPI's ridge filler should eliminate that, if it is bothersome to you :)

Next up is Ares:

Ares is a gorgeous deep metallic purple that has a gorgeous subtle golden shimmer in certain lighting.

Here is Athena:

Athena is a beautiful dusty light blue/grey metallic that, to be honest, looks incredible matted!!!

This one is Demeter:

I very much love this one - I'm such a sucker for greens, and this is a gorgeous light metallic lime green!  It's one that would be *perfect* for St. Patty's Day :D

Last up for today is Dionysus:

Dionysus is the perfect wine-colored purple with a brilliant golden shimmer in certain lighting, and it also looks amazing matted!

Application for every one of these was the same - smooth, no pulling or gooping or clumping, and they all dried in under 5 minutes to a shiny finish.  These also look great with a matte topcoat to add a different, delicate look to these metallics :D

I'll have the final five for you tomorrow along with details on costs for the individual bottles and the sets.  What do you think of these colors so far?  Do you like the colors chosen to represent these gods?  Which one is your favorite?
