Swatch: My Elevation Polish Picks

Hi girls.
I had heard so much about the indie brand Elevation Polish that I had to try it for myself. I was not interested in any of the cremes and not in any of the darker colors so my choice was two holographic polishes and one glitter that caught my eye.
From left to right: Echinops, Muztagh Ata, Haba Xueshan

Echinops - a light purple holo with blue tones. This did dissapoint me... I did expected to see the holo more often but it was really hard to both capture and see. It is beautiful, but just not what I hoped I was getting. It was easy to work with though, two easy coats for the photos.
Here shown in what looks like shade but actually was a bright indirect daylight:

Muztagh Ata - is a blue toned green holo. a little more saturated and green than Essie "School Of Hard Rocks", but the colors are a close relation I would say. Again it was very weird to take photos of this cause it didn't wanted to show the holo as much as I saw it the evening before in bad lightning. So here are a lot of photos of me trying to capture it. It is definetly subtle compared to any linear holo in the sun, but I like that it plays with the light it catches even in dim light and a lot linear holos don't. I have actually always been a little afraid of holographic polishes, I am warming up for the more agressive kinds, but this polish is very easy to wear and enjoy in a charming way. The base color is also in my opinion the most charming green possible and suits everything I would wear.
The pictures are two easy coats.

Haba Xueshan (here shown over Essie "Warm and Toasty Turtleneck")- a glitter of white and black hex glitters in four different sizes, mint green circle glitter in two sizes and one size of white bar glitter. What caught my eye was the mint circle glitter, that made the combination very interesting and more complex than plain black and white mix and it is a color that matches all possible color combinations I would choose a black and white glitter for. I can only think of colors like red and orange that I don't think would look nice with a little mint, black and white added. I chose a dusty color I personally love to death, and this was a totally winner manicure for me.
It was easy to work with and place on the nail. Besides you can see my nails shine and being almost even... it surprized me because I have tried so many glitter polishes, but I only needed one coat of top coat. I love this. You need this.
I didn't catch this in the sun, but as there is no holo in it I don't think that matters too much.



I will look out for more unique colors from this brand and maybe some of the darker holographic polishes next time. Are you going to buy from elevation polish?

Love and sweets
