Starkweather Pops - Chirality

I am honored and very excited to be bringing you another set of four reviews! Amanda of Chirality Nail Polish asked me if I would be willing to review the second half of her cereal killer collection!

Of course, I said yes! She was my first sponsored review ever, with the first half of the collection!  So, she was a sweetheart and gifted them to me for my honest review and swatches. 

(http://mommiesmanis.blogspot.com/2013/01/chirality-cereal-color-collection_28.html) I have been excited to show these off ever since she emailed me last week! Like the first half of the set, these have quirky names. I'm going to bet when they are listed on the site they will have some epic descriptions like the last ones.

I'm going to do four installments so each gets its own post. Otherwise it would be pretty photo heavy

Up next is Starkweather Pops. 

I really like this one.  It's another cereal in milk type polish with chunky golden yellow glitters in multiple shapes and sizes. There's more holo action in this one that again, my camera boycotting capturing. There's also big white hexes in it. I didn't even realize it until I polished one to my nail!

This one went on easier than the others on the third coat, and was opaque at that point. The glitters didn't seem to clump for me and laid nicely.

Somehow I forgot to put on top coat for the photos. Whoopsies!

This one dried well also. I don't know if it's a bit thinner than Gacy Charms maybe and that's why?

This isn't a colored I would lean to automatically, but I LOVE it and wouldn't mind owning the full size some day. And it captured the breakfast feel well, apparently, because after taking these photos I really wanted to eat cereal... 

This is a winner, for sure.

Apple Jack the Ripper - Chirality

Of course, I said yes! She was my first sponsored review ever, with the first half of the collection!  So, these polishes were provided to me free of charge for my honest review and swatches. (http://mommiesmanis.blogspot.com/2013/01/chirality-cereal-color-collection_28.html)

Part two is "Apple Jack the Ripper."

This is another milky white base with various shapes, sizes, and colors of green hued glitter. There's a pale chartreuse and a large holo teal circle, among others. It caught my eye first, because I love green! 

It's so much fun. The variety in shape and colored of glitter works really well together. The milky white takes on almost a minty hue as you build layers. I used three to test opacity. This is loaded with glitter, so application can get a little hard as you build. I had no issues with the first or second but the third got a little gloppy looking. I smoothed it over with top coat though and loved it.  I was worried I wouldn't get any of the large circles because the first coat provided none, but I let it rest upside down in between and had no issue the second coat!

Unfortunately, the holo-flares escaped my camera phone today, but trust me, they are there and very pretty!

Up first, I'll be showing you Gacy Charms.

This is the most "wild" of the four, if you ask me. It's not really my style, but it's really fun and very creative. It's modeled after a very... charming cereal. Haha.

It's got a milky white base, tiny green glitter, and a bunch if shapes and colored glitters to boot (hearts, stars, crescents, flowers, circles, bars, maybe more...). It's LOADED. 

It applies well, though its very packed with glitter so it seems a little thick. its really not, its just a lot if glitters. The glitters are big, so on small round nails like mine they seem a little chunky. Two coats of top coat smoothed them over. The first two coats dried quickly, the third stayed tacky a while because by then I had built it pretty thick to test the opacity. It was opaque, more or less, by the three coats. It definitely has the feeling of a bright, marshmallow-y cereal in milk. 

Overall, it's fun if you like colorful and unique polishes! Like I said, it's not my general style, but I would definitely recommend it!
