Glitter Gal Duochrome Collection - Hell-Bent Blue & Distored Platinum

Hey guys! Here today for your viewing pleasure are the last two shades from the wonderful DuoChrome Collection from Glitter Gal.


To refresh your memory, this is a 6-piece collection consisting of sheer duochrome polishes that are at their best when worn over black or other dark colors. You can wear them alone too if you like the subtle look.
These polishes are 15mL, in GGal's fancy new bottles, and they even come in their own boxes.
The polishes are "5-free" - meaning they contain none of the big five chemicals found in some cosmetics.

I totally adore these last two polishes so prepare for greatness!


Glitter Gal - Hell-Bent Blue
A wonderful shades-of-blue duochrome. Shown here is two coats over black.


Blue, turquoisey-blue, purpley-blue, all kinds of blue.


I love when you can see the purple around the edges. It's gorgeous!


Yum. Blue fans rejoice.

And last but certainly not least...


Glitter Gal - Distorted Platinum
My flash photos of this one are kinda weird looking, but believe me, this polish is one of the best in the collection. It is my second favorite of all!


I'm not sure what color you would call this one primarily, it shows a strong silvery-teal and purple. You can pretty much always see both colors on the nail.


Looooooook. OMG.


Holy hell, I love that last photo.
It's like pink and purple and turquoise and silvery and... just awesome. Right?


There you have it, guys! If you missed the other 2 posts, here are some links for you:
Warped Teal & Twisted Jealousy
Buckled Bronze & Contorted Mauve

As I've said, these new polishes from GGal are 15mL and retail for $17.50 AUD/$17.95 USD and you can buy them from Glitter Gal directly or on Ninja Polish!

Hopefully soon I'll be able to show you guys more polish from Glitter Gal... I cannot wait to get my hands on the upcoming glitter called Rebecca! (DUH!)
And they have some seriously cute lookin' neons coming, too.
And... More holos!!! Glitter Gal is seriously winning all around!
Check 'em out on Facebook for some preview photos of all the new stuff.

Glitter Gal Duochrome Collection - Buckled Bronze & Contorted Mauve

Good morning all and welcome to part two of my swatches of the awesome new DuoChrome Collection from our Australian friends at Glitter Gal!


To refresh your memory, this is a 6-piece collection consisting of sheer duochrome polishes that are at their best when worn over black or other dark colors. You can wear them alone too if you like the subtle look, but my nails are way too stained for that right now... Bleh!

I couldn't pick which two polishes to show you today so I chose the first two alphabetically. Haha!
(And if you missed yesterday's post, click here to see Warped Teal and Twisted Jealousy.)


Glitter Gal - Buckled Bronze
This one I believe is the least color-changing of the bunch but the color is stunning regardless. I love the deep shimmery red, totally vampy.


There is a bronzey-orange color shift but it isn't super intense.
Have I mentioned how shiny these polishes are without topcoat? They dry really quickly too.
Each of my swatches shows two coats of polish over black.


This is a yummy color. Definitely a winner for those into vampy shades!


Glitter Gal - Contorted Mauve
Ah, purple shimmer! Intense color shift! Gorgeous polish.


I seriously love this one and that is weird for me because I don't usually like this color combo.
The duochrome is so strong and I loved watching it change.


Ooooooh. Purdy.


Do you love this one like I do?

These new polishes from GGal are 15mL and retail for $17.50 AUD/$17.95 USD and you can buy them from Glitter Gal directly or on Ninja Polish!

Phew! Can you believe there's still two more awesome polishes left to show in this collection? Stay tuned tomorrow!
(PS I hope you're all ignoring the stupid bump on my middle finger. I am ignoring it. Except I just mentioned it. Crap! Don't look at it! It isn't there!)

Glitter Gal Duochrome Collection - Warped Teal & Twisted Jealousy

Hey everyone! First of all - thanks for all the well wishes in the last week or two. I appreciate it more than you know!
I'm starting to feel better and hoping to be able to recommit myself to posting every day because I miss sharing my polish adventures with you all on a daily basis.

To hopefully get my blog a-rollin' again, I'll be doing three posts showcasing the brand new Duochrome Collection from Glitter Gal!


Mmmm, look at those pretty bottles...
This collection consists of six sheer duochrome polishes, all best worn over black or other dark colors to show the true beauty!
As well, I just read that these polishes are "5 Free!" They contain no TFR, Camphor, Formaldehyde, DPB or Toluene. Pretty cool!

I decided to post these polishes in pairs because it would just be too much to post all at once! Each polish deserves a bunch of photos.


These polishes come in the new large 15mL bottles from GGal. I love the bottles because they are very sturdy and the brush is also quite lovely. No complaints.
Each bottle also comes in a nice little box! Makes it feel more special when it has its own box, right?

I'm gonna start out today with my favorite one!


Glitter Gal - Warped Teal
Are you surprised that the teal is my favorite? Didn't think so!


Yes, that's the same polish in both photos. This baby has many different faces.


This is two coats of Warped Teal over black. In some lights it is a shimmery green and then you turn your hand and it is like a blue/teal/green metallic! It's crazy.
It's hard to really say much about the polish because the pictures have to do the talking!


So stinkin' pretty, right?


Love love love. I totally recommend picking up this one because it is just so interesting and duochromatic and lovely. It's a winner!

And now for the second polish from the collection...


Glitter Gal - Twisted Jealousy
To follow my favorite polish, I am showing you my least favorite of the bunch.


Don't get me wrong - this polish is still great, but the colors just aren't something I would reach for.


Twisted Jealousy is an intense shimmery green that has a brown duochrome! It is a very interesting combo and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it!


Like I said - it's beautiful, but not my kinda colors. If you like greens and browns and earthy hues, this one would be perfect for you!


Two down, four to go! I hope you guys enjoy seeing these swatches because I had fun doing them.

These polishes retail for $17.50 AUD/$17.95 USD and you can buy them from Glitter Gal directly or on Ninja Polish!
And don't forget to check out Glitter Gal on Facebook, because they just posted some teasers of upcoming polishes! (And yes, there is one called Rebecca!! We will pretend they named it after me. Obvi.)

See you tomorrow with two more pretties!

Glitter Gal - Hidden Violets

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a lovely Saturday.

Today I'mma be showing you another stunning polish from Glitter Gal.
If you liked my post about Wild Violets, I'm sure you'll like today's polish too!


Behold the beautiful Hidden Violets from Glitter Gal!

As I said yesterday, GG has recently released some new polish lines, and this one is from the Shade Shifters collection of duochromes!
This is from the "Soft" half of the collection, which are smooth duochrome shimmers. The other half of the collection, "Brilliant", has the same colors with a more textured, sparkly finish (like yesterday's Wild Violets.)


Pretty much everything great that I said about Wild Violets can be said about Hidden Violets!
I adore how this polish is opaque on its own - shown here at 3 coats - and the purple color is just fantastic.
It flashes pink and purple and blue.


Can you believe these pictures are without topcoat? Check out that shine!

Just like yesterday's polish, this one can also be layered over black for a great look! But again, I prefer it on it's own.
Here's the swatch over black and please forgive the tiny bubbles in the second photo... My black didn't cooperate with me.


Just stunning. Love it!
Glitter Gal really knocked these colors out of the park, for me!

This polish comes in the new larger 15mL bottles from GG and is available on Ninja Polish for $17.95!
