Hello readers,
Today I have Emily de Molly's upcoming October release to share with you. As is the usual EdM stype, this collection has a wide variety of colours and finishes. Let's take a look at swatches.
The Calm One
The Calm One features a peachy pink crelly base filled with flecked golden shimmer. The formula was easy to work with taking two coats for full coverage. This shade dried down to satin matte finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show two coats of The Calm One with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Midlife Crisis
Midlife Crisis is a mauve-red base filled with a super strong green to pink shifting flecked shimmer. This shade seriously glows. The formula was easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage and dries down smooth. Photos show three coats of Midlife Crisis with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Glitters Reign
Glitter Reigns features a warm purple base with a soft copper sheen and lots of tiny silver holo glitters. This one was nice and pigmented. I used two coats here, but if you were careful you could probably get away with one. This shade dries to a satin finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show two coats of Glitter Reigns with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
The World Belongs To Us
The World Belongs To Us features a pale turquoise blue base with a find pink to green shifting shimmer and small copper flecks. Another easy two coat formula with this one. Photos show two coats of The World Belongs To Us with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Today At Noon
Today At Noon is a berry red holo with copper magnetic shimmer. The formula was quite pigmented and if you weren't magnetizing it, this could be a one coat. If you do magnetize it apply the first coat normally and then magnetize the second for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Today At Noon with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Version Of A Truth
Version Of A Truth features a pale mauve (cold) to pale lavender (warm) thermal base with a strong green shimmer and silver flakes. I accidentally forgot that this was a thermal and photographed it mostly in the cold state. The single nail macro at the end shows you the shifted colour though. The formula was easy to work with taking two coats for full coverage in the cold state. In the warm state my nail lines showed through a tiny bit so if your hands run warm you may want to add a third. Photos show two coats of Version Of A Truth with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Electric Arc
Electric Arc features a silver holo base with a sprinkling of small silver holo glitters and a subtle blue magnetic shimmer. This shade was nicely pigmented. I applied the first coat normally and then used a bar magnet on the second coat. The blue shimmer is subtle in person, but does show up more than in my photos. My camera just refused to capture it. Photos show two coats of Electric Arc with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Sea Of Lies
Sea Of Lies features a blue tinted base filled with pink to green to blue shifting aurora shimmer. This one seriously glows on the nail. The formula was easy to work with and took two coats for full coverage. My nail lines show through a bit in the swatches, but under my light box lighting was the only place where this happened. Photos show two coats of Sea Of Lies with one coat of Sephora X Shine XCEL top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Conclusion
My personal favorites from this release are Midlife Crisis and Sea Of Lies. I don't own anything like them. The October collection will be releasing on Thursday October 18th at 10am AEDT on the Australian site and Wednesday October 17th at 7pm EDT on the US & International site.

Happy polishing,
Michelle
