Hi all!! I'm seriously loving everything coming out of Celestial Cosmetics these days. I'm not feeling particularly wordy at the moment (maybe a good thing anyway, lol) so let's just get to it :)
First up is Chrome Amaranth, a Color4Nails exclusive. Chrome Amaranth is a bright, light silver foil with red microglitter and holographic red hex glitter that flash magenta and gold. In the bottle, it looks like it might apply a little thick, but it doesn't. I used two easy coats and one layer of GlitterDaze Super Smooth Quickdry Keratin topcoat.
Things that leave one wanting more include gorgeous holos in the dead of winter. The best I could do was lightbox photos for these two beauties and I seriously cannot wait to wear them come summer. This sparkling plum/boysenberry linear holo, Blitzen's Budgie Smuggler, is from the A Very Merry Aussie Christmas collection. It's undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous holos I've had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. I used two coats plus one layer of GlitterDaze Super Smooth Quickdry Keratin topcoat.
Reaper Crew is from the Sons of Anarchy collection. It's another absolute stunner, a dark, ambiguously blue-black linear holo and my GOSH why can't it be bright and sunny in the PNW right now?!! This is two easy coats plus one layer of GlitterDaze Super Smooth Quickdry Keratin topcoat.
I can honestly say I have not met a Celestial I didn't like. Nicki's got her formula down across the board and these three apply beautifully, as always.
Celestial Cosmetics polishes are available internationally through Color4Nails for $12 each.

There's a big ol' blogger/indie/etailer #sharefest happening this weekend, as started by indie maker NailNation 3000 and I'm loving being a part of it. I'll be posting a few more faves before I head to work this morning, so go check it out!! Thank you for reading and enjoy your Sunday ♥♥

All three are amazing colors! Look at that shine and sparkle to them :D I'm digging Chrome Amaranth a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteChrome Amaranth is gorgeous. I may or may not be a sucker for silver foils, anyway, lol :)
DeleteGorg. Loving the last one especially!!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I mean, a black holo...what's not to completely and utterly love?
Deletethat dark berry is just lovely. i've been skipping out on all my most favorite holos lately with the lack of any real sun on the east coast, too - you're braver than me!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call it bravery, lol. Some do better out of direct sunlight than others, though ;)
DeleteReaper Crew!! Holy macaroli. What a beautiful polish. Chrome Amaranth is so unusual...I adore it. <3 Sometimes I don't honestly know how people keep coming up with new and different things, then I see something like this and amazes me. And of course it goes without saying that I love a plummy holo. But I'll say it anyway: I LOVE that plum holo!! :D
ReplyDeleteI know it! That's what makes certain brands stand out...it is awesome to see unique polishes with the market this saturated, and even better to see them done in an ethical manner.
DeleteI love your new nail shape and all of these polishes are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sweets! And I know, it's hard to choose a favorite from these three :D
DeleteWow, these are all very pretty! I'm partial to the purple myself, but these are all great.
ReplyDeleteI think I might be, too, but yeah, they're all pretty fantastic :)
DeleteGreat post sis!!! I have a soft spot for dark, plum holos right now and Blitzen and so on is clearly my favorite - I am waiting for my first Celestial's to arrive and your pictures just make me all the more exited - have a lovely start of the week xxx
ReplyDeleteOhhh you got some Celestials!!! I can't wait to see them! They're all just wonderful, perfect formulas and such beautiful colors, I know you'll love them :) I think Blitzen is my favorite, too, but not my much.
DeleteCould those holos get any prettier?! Seriously swooning over here!
ReplyDeleteI know it!! They're seriously the prettiest holos I've seen since I had a proper introduction to the Jades.
DeleteLove Reaper Crew...so unique!
ReplyDeleteYES. And amazing, if you ask me, that creating unique holos is still possible.
DeleteI get Celestial from Color4Nails here in the U.S., but they don't have the SoA colors :-( I hope they'll get here someday, 'cause Reaper Crew is gorgeous. Your Chrome Amaranth swatch looks soooo much better than others I've seen. It's not the first time I've noticed you have a fabulous touch with unusual textures!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Sadie, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much :) :) I'm trying to find out when SoA will be in stock again... Sisi posts regular updates on the C4N fb so chech that frequently is the best I can say at this point :)
DeleteI couldn't stand it - I emailed C4N and asked. Sisi says mid-February!
DeleteI emailed her, too, and she got back to me when I was at work. Glad you got your answer!
DeleteOk, this is better. I just came from your China Glaze post :) These are gorgeous! Blitzen's Budgie Smuggler is a must-have!! I need to try this brand for sure.
ReplyDeleteHa! There's seriously nothing to not love about this brand (okay some of the names are questionable but that's just me).
