Cult Nails Deceptive Collection Swatches & Review

Cult Nails Deceptive Collection Cult Nails Deceptive Collection Swatches & Review

Cult Nails has a new(ish) limited edition collection out called Deceptive. Deceptive features five new color-shifting top coats.

These top coats are all kind of awesome because you can get so many different looks from just one bottle, depending on the base color. For simple purposes, I showed them all over Cult Nails Nevermore, which is an excellent jet black creme (not included in the set of five).

For all of these swatches I used just two coats of Nevermore and one coat of the top coat.

Overall: Love these! I think top coats like this are really great because you can use them in more than just one way. The layering possibilities are endless, so you get more bang for your buck than just another regular shimmery shade. My favorites are Charlatan, Doppleganger and Alter Ego.

Availability: Cult Nails.

Pricing: $10.00 for 0.5 oz.

Have you tried any of these top coats yet? Which are your favorite ones?

    I quite like Alter Ego. Cult Nails aren’t easy to get here though :(

  • I want them all! Would be fun to stack on one another lol.

  • This is so funny! I was just writing a post about layering and how I have many “layering” polishes I do not use… and you come with these!!
    I’m starting to love some layering myself! My favourite of the bunch is Charlatan! Look at that!

  • When I saw the first picture I wasn’t impressed, and I was confused because Cult Nails usually have interesting colors. And then I was completely blown away!!! I especially enjoy Alter Ego and Two Timer, but really I like all of them!

  • I love sheer overlay polishes for revitalizing a manicure. I don’t own any Cult Nails yet either. . .

    I love these topcoats…I have Alter Ego, Charlatan, and Doppelganger. I put Charlatan over a greige and it looked amazing as well….
