Cult Nails A Day At The Races Collection Swatches, Photos & Review
Cult Nails has a new collection out called A Day At The Races, which consists of five new colors.
In case you aren’t familiar with Cult Nails, this brand was started by nail blogger R3Daily aka Maria not too long ago. She now has about 9 colors and the formula is really pretty excellent.
The one color not shown here is called Captivated and it’s a coral colored jelly with gold and coral glitter.
Cruisin’ Nude
Cruisin’ Nude is a pale taupe/nude color with some subtle pink shimmer running throughout. I love the shimmer, it definitely makes this polish more interesting and unique. The formula was super buttery and it flowed really nicely. I got really great coverage with this one, just needed two coats and it was totally opaque.
Devious Nature
Devious Nature is a bright fuchsia/raspberry pink creme. This is a really pretty hot pink color, perhaps not the most unique color I’ve ever seen though. The formula was again, super creamy and also very shiny (no top coat on here). I found it to be a little less opaque than Cruisin’ Nude though so you can barely still see my nail line after two coats.
Let Me Fly
Let Me Fly is a deep blue/turquoise base, kind of muted out, with tons of silver shimmer. Gorgeous! I love this color and knew it was going to be my favorite the second I laid eyes on it. I love anything dusty-toned, and this blue is beautiful. Again, excellent formula really smooth and creamy and just two coats.
Always Winning
Always Winning is a medium olive green that is kind of sheer but also with a metallic finish and micro gold and holographic glitter. It’s a busy color for sure! I like the base color, but wasn’t overly happy about the sheerness it had to it. I found the formula with this one much thicker than the previous ones mentioned and harder to work with. Because it’s much thicker you definitely have to wait a few minutes in-between coats or you will wind up with cuticle drag and too much on the tips. I needed three coats to get the coverage shown here.
Overall:
I am so happy that Maria is putting out such cool colors and finishes! This is a good strong collection and a lot of fun.
Availability: Cult Nails website
Pricing: $10.00 each
What do you think about these beauties?

Let Me Fly is my favorite, and of course Captivated as well. BEAUTIFUL collection. One of the best I’ve seen in a while.
Let Me Fly is also my favourite. Dusty blues are so pretty, and the shimmer brings the colour to life instead of being flat.
Thanks for swatching these, Kelly!
I think they are super pretty
Cruisin nude have to be my favorite though 
always winning is my favorite, it’s absolutely gorgeous shade… but all of hers polishes look great, she’s done great job
Let Me Fly is my favorite. Reminds me of butter LONDON’s Victoriana.
Me too!
They’re similar, but not dupes. Let Me Fly is actually less ‘dusty’ of a teal color and has a bit less shimmer. Let Me Fly seems richer and slightly more green leaning. Both are gorgeous polishes though! Just thought I’d offer my 2 cents since I have both colors.
I absolutely love all the Cult Nails polishes! The colors and formulas are tops AND that they’re coming from a fellow blogger makes me love them even more! Gotta support each other
I knew this brand and the color called My Kind Of Cool Aid from the very first collection is on my wishlist.
love the first and last one!
I hopped on the sale, too and got Captivated instead of Always Winning (plus the other 7 colors Maria has created). I am very pleased with the formula and am looking forward to what Cult Nails has in store. Great swatches!
OMG I love Let me Fly! Must have!
Now, Cruisin’ Nude makes for mannequin hands I can LOVE!
But Let Me Fly is the MUST HAVE.
That is a stunning color, and I don’t think I have anything like it.
Thanks for the swatches!
I’m going for the more unique shades. With an expert hand, these colors are DA BOMB!
Let me fly is absolutely gorgeous! I love blues
I am LUSTING after Cruisin’ Nude…while it’s a neutral that hologram pop takes it to a whole new and fun level. Definately getting this.
I picked up the whole collection except Devious Nature, just because I don’t really need another pink creme, not because it’s a bad color. Let Me Fly is my favorite from the collection as well, was love at first sight. I think Cruisin’ Nude is my 2nd. Oh, also I think that Maria said that Always Winning is more of a layering color, although I’m not sure what I’d layer it over yet
I love your swatches! I got the always winning and fly polishes but I may have to order Cruisin Nude after seeing your swatch – it’s gorgeous!!!
I looooove Cult Nails nail polishes and bought all of them plus a backup of each Captivated and Iconic.
Love to support a new little brand trying to get going. But not a fan of every shade here. I do think it’s a hit for a new small collection as it has a representative shade from some of the major love groups. Devious Nature to me looks like a dup for OPI Dim Sum Plum which I like, but prefer it’s big sister shade of I Ate Berries in the Canaries way more for me.
Oooh, Cruisin’ Nude and Let Me Fly are stunning! I think I’ll be ordering a polish or two from her site this weekend. ^_^
The blue is really gorgeous. Do want.
cruisin’ nude is now on my must have list!
