Today I have a super bright collection to share with you from Celestial Cosmetics.
The Electric You Collection is a collaboration with Celestial Cosmetics and Color 4 Nails, and is inspired by the Electric Zoo music festival.
Here is the trailer for this years festival. You can totally see where the inspiration for this collection comes from!
There is 5 colours in the collection and a 6th colour which did not make the cut for the collection but a small amount of it will be available at a reduced price when the collection is released.
Under Black light
so lets get on with the swatches.
All of these swatches are 2 coats over a white gel polish base, unless stated other wise. I swatched theses colours over white as it really made the neon pop and that is what these colours are all about!!
I also used a HK girl top coat with all of these swatches, which can also be purchased from Celestial Cosmetics.
Inception- Is a bright blue neon holographic polish. The colour really pops and it does glow a little under a blacklight/UV light. I love the colour! Its bright and in your face as all these pretties are, but im a real sucker for blues and greens so I was in love with it straight away!!!!!

Trip- Is a hot orange holographic polish. This is super bright like the rest and under black light it is amazing!!! the brightness of the orange can been dulled a little if you do not swatch over white, but I like it BRIGHT!!!!

Tantrum- Is a bright red/orange holographic polish. I was not sure about this colour in the bottle but on the nail I totally loved it! It was a really warm colour but at the same time soooo bright!!!! and it glowed so well under black light! I love how you can still see the holo under the black light too.

Adrenaline- Is a glow green holographic polish. I love this colour too but I did use 3 coats with this one as I liked the finish better with 3 thin coats compared to 2 thicker ones.

Merge- Is a fluro pink holographic polish. This is a really pretty colour. Tho I do have a few others which are similar in my collection. I found the thing I loved with this one was again it glowed under blacklight which made it extra awesome for me!

Singularity- Is a bright purple holographic polish. This is the one that did not make the cut for the final collection. Unfortunately there was a slight pigment issue and there is little flecks of colours in the polish which did not dissolve correctly. Tho in my opinion once I did 3 coats over the white you could hardly see them as you will see in the swatches. This colour did not really glow under blacklight very much either. Celestial Cosmetics do have a few of these bottles for sale tho and at a reduced rate of $8.00 and I think it would be a great bargain!

I wanted to show you this polish ever since i got it from color 4 nails a few weeks ago.

When i first saw this polish i was super excited! i mean i am a total duochrome whore! and anything thats is shiny and changes colour in light i just have to buy!!!
But at the same time as this wonderful polish came out, Essie brought a Duochrome out as well! In their Fall 2013 collection they had a polish called- for the twill of it. now as i said before....duo whore! so i ordered this as well!
Now here is the amazing thing...for 2 companies to bring out new collections at the same time and have similar colours?? i can totally understand this...... but to bring out a collection at the same time and have the EXACT same polish??!!! fluke??? i dont know??? but here is a bottle shot of the 2 polishes together.

Pretty similar huh??
So i did some swatches before deciding on which polish to share with you. and between the 2 polishes i prefer the OPI formula, brush and general way this polish goes on.
I found that the essies brushes are quite thin and the formula with the essies was thin as well. it took 3 coats to do the swatches compared to 2 coats with the OPI.
Here are some swatches side by side.

As you can see about these are pretty much exact dupes of each other! Personally if you want to buy one id go for the OPI even if it is more expensive where you live. the formula is heaps better than the essie.
Now for proper swatches! i decided on the OPI to swatch on my nails so here are some pics for you :)

These were all 2 coats of OPI peace and love and OPI over my black gel nails. you could build up and have no undies but i wanted the duo to pop and it does so much more with a black base coat.
So what do you think??? which would you buy??
You can pick up both the OPI and Essie at color for nails or if they are not listed on Sisi's website contact her via her facebook page and PM what you are after.The owner Sisi has very competitive rates for polish and a great deal with shipping as well. and she ships WORLDWIDE!!!!! so us aussies don't miss out!!!!!
Stay tuned as this month i will be sharing with you all a bunch more dupe and similar polishes that are out there and which ones i think are the best to buy!!!
