It’s Friday afternoon are you ready for some holographic glitters? Let’s do it!

Dreams Nail Lacquers are a new line from Dreams Cosmetics. Dreams Cosmetics is a line of nail polishes and nail care items and can be found on FabulouStreet’s website. This is where I bought my Nfu Oh shades many moons ago. Their nail enamels are big 3-free and cruelty free.

Dreams has three “collections” right now and today I’ve got some from their Horoscope collection. I’ve also got a great deal going on with them for the next month, so stay tuned until the end of the post for that information!

All of these shades are glitters. They are all in a clear base, but are really glittery, so you can get full coverage with three coats on their own. Or you could layer them. They all feature one or two micro-glitter shades along with larger hex holographic glitter and some also contain micro-holographic glitter. I swatched most of them over a plain black but I also did one on its own so you can see what that looks like.

Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, Scorpio

Note: Cruelty free

Revlon Chroma Chameleon is a new limited edition collection which features eight duo and multi-chrome metallic shades.

I had my eyes peeled for these for awhile and finally spotted these five at a Rite Aid near me. They should be at Walgreens/Rite Aid and CVS (and possibly Meijer and Harmon, which we don’t have in the Bay Area).

The three I didn’t get were Aquamarine, Gold and Cobalt.

The formula with these was decent, not perfect. Since they are metallic they tend to be a little brush-stroke-y. Most were just two coats but two I used three.

Tanzanite, Pink Quartz, Amethyst, Rose Gold and Topaz

Note: Not cruelty free

Impala Nail Color is a Brazilian brand that recently launched in the US! Yay for news brands for us!

Their polishes are 3-free and many of them are also hypoallergenic. They have a pretty wide variety of shades and finishes as well.

There are two things to note with this polish. One is that yes, the bottles are shaped a little different from most in the US. I don’t love the shape but it didn’t have any negative effect in the application. I actually found the pointed tip easy to hold and manage. The one issue I had was the wand tends to get super flooded, so I had to wipe it and the brush off quite a lot before I applied the polish.

Chanel Azuré and Bel-Argus Le Vernis are new limited edition shades in the summer 2013 L’Ete Papillon de Chanel collection. In fact there is also another shade called Lilus which is a coral creme.

I initially saw many swatches of these when they first came out and didn’t think they looked all that spectacular. However when I was at Nordstrom this past weekend and walked past them, I decided to stop and swatch for myself. I was fairly blown away by how gorgeous they were! It took me all of 1 minute to decide I needed them both in my collection!

The Pure Ice summer 2013 nail collection features a bunch of new nail shades including these five I have for ya this afternoon.

I haven’t had much experience with this brand so it was nice to try them out. Not to mention the price is RIGHT!

The formula was really nice with all of them including the glitters, and they are big-three free. They had a really nice consistency, nice brushes and covered in two coats. Definitely no cheap, gloopy polish here!
