This is an awesome brand!! It's fairly new to the market and new to me completely, so I had to buy their entire stock of course! Cult Nails is available online only. It's made in the good 'ol USA by a wonderful woman named Maria who lives in FL. She is a blogger just like me (and many of you)! She's been very open and shares many of her thoughts about the brand and where it's going on her blog.
This is how the polish comes! How cute is that? A whole heap of cotton balls!! Such a great idea!!
Each polish comes individually wrapped in paper. So you know how much time she spends to package your polish and the care she's putting into it.
The Original Collection:
My Kind of Cool Aid, 2 coats. This is a gorgeous greyed out pastel purple. It has silver shimmer in it too! It didn't show up all that well in this photo, but it's definitely there. I love this color!
Living Water, 2 coats. This is a dark teal-blue base with greenish silver small glitter. You know what, the glitter might just be plain silver, but looks green because of the base, lol. But still very lovely!
Iconic, 2 coats. A warm reddish burgundy with gold shimmer and flakies!! Gotta love the flakies. They are soooooo pretty. And with the combination of the warm darker color of the red, it's just a home run.
Quench, 2 coats. A perfect red! I suppose this would qualify as a jelly, but for me it's a little too opaque for that. Maybe one coat would be more jelly like.
A Day at the Races Collection:
Let Me Fly, 2 coats. A teal base with silver shimmer. I LOVE teal, so this is right up my alley. It's a darker teal, so it's not too bright and over the top. It's just a perfect dustier teal, but without looking too muted. Love it!
Devious Nature, 2 coats. A great hot pink or fushia creme. It's more pink than purple, but definitely has a hint of purple to it. To me, it reminds me of OPI Dim Sum Plum. I might have to swatch them together to see.
Cruisin' Nude, 2 coats. The most perfect nude beige with a pink shimmer. This is an amazing color. I love it. Words cannot express how much I love this color. And it's nearly a mannequin hands for me! I love it! LOVE IT!
Captivated, 2 coats. A coral jelly packed with gold glitter. This one looks orange in the bottle because of the amount of glitter, but it's much pinker on the nail. It's so amazingly beautiful! I love it.
Always Winning, 2 coats. A light green base with gold and holographic glitter. Sorry about this lighting on this one, the sun took a break :( Figures it did that while I'm trying to show holo, right? Ugh! Maybe another sunny day I'll throw this one on again. It really is much prettier when the holo is showing.
Application on all of these was amazing. They go on nice and smooth and spread evenly without flooding. They all have good opacity. The brush is great and I love the bottles! Overall I'm VERY pleased with this brand. I would definitely buy from them again. The service was great, the packaging was unexpectedly awesome and of course, the polish is superb! I'm most likely going to order a backup of Cruisin' Nude. I just LOVE that one! What do you think?
