Celestial Cosmetics Mercury Rising & The Pink Planet

Celestial Cosmetics Mercury Rising & The Pink Planet

Hi friends!!  Yesterday I showed you one of indie newcomer Celestial Cosmetics' collaboration polishes and today I've got two from the core line.  Celestial Cosmetics polishes are beautiful and conceptual, with finishes ranging from creamy glitter to frost to linear holographic.  The most recent additions bear fun and imaginative straight from sci-fi names.

This is Mercury Rising, a practically-applies-itself frosty, silvery blue packed with periwinkle glitters.

I love my light frosts and Mercury Rising is a delicate and updated take on the pearly finishes of yore.  It has the same sheen but this finish is  light, airy, and whipped, like a light, iridescent foam.  It's a modern pearl, if you will.  The formula is wonderfully easy to work with.  I used two coats of polish and one layer of topcoat.

This is The Pink Planet, one of those gorgeous dark pink-red shades I'm so wild about.

The Pink Planet is a quinacridone red jelly base packed with tiny holographic glitters and medium sized holographic hexes.  This polish is beautifully romantic and looks like Valentine's Day in a bottle to me.  The Pink Planet is one of loooove, lol.  Doesn't it look like it could be the atmosphere of a planet in a distant galaxy?  So much awesome imagery surrounding this one.  The Pink Planet has another easy as pie to apply formula.  Again, I used two coats of polish and one layer of topcoat.  My only real complaint is that those gorgeous hexes don't show up as abundantly on the nail as they do in the bottle... but that could be user error.  Make sure this one gets a really good shake before application.

  7. Hi Liesl, another great review and introduction, both of them are beautiful and unique - Mercury Rising is so etheral but with a sci-fi drive and the planet??? Just thinking about a pink planet grown with trees bearing holo leaves and glittery rivers and green mars men - LOL and nope, I had my coffee and am on the way to work and my brain spits up all that nonsense :-D - no pink pills near or far 😜

    1. You're so cute ♥♥♥ I just love the power of suggestion on some of these polishes... So funny how something so mundane really does stretch your imagination and get you to think in different ways. Not nonsense, just fun ;)

    1. I couldn't agree more :) I ended up wearing that one for three days (sort of unprecedented around these parts... and yours, too, I'll wager) ♥

    1. I think there's something about how they're doing the frosty finish nowadays. It looks ethereal, not so dated. Words are failing me here. Lool.
