Dollish Polish - The Princess Bride Collection Part 2

I'm going to continue straight on from yesterday with the remaining seven polishes from The Princess Bride Collection by Dollish Polish.

As you wish - metallic gold holo.  Lovely formula and opaque in two easy coats.  The colour reminds me of the golden hair of both Buttercup and 'Farm boy'. Being gold, and holo this is an absolute winner for me.




I Survived The Fire Swamp - A fire red jelly filled with iridescent glitters that shift red, orange and gold. 




Inconceivable - a multi coloured and shaped glitter mix in a clear base. This is listed as having more that 50 different glitters.  I loved the look I achieved with this one. I layered two coats of Ulta3 Get Teal.




Iocane Powder - a glitter topper with varying sized translucent white & pale gray glitters in a light shimmery base. I used two coats over Ulta3 Wild Berry.  





The part of the movie about Iocane Powder is one of my very favourtie parts. 



Yep, that's us Aussies - all criminals :)

Is this a kissing book - A very pretty glitter topper that is  jam-packed with pastel glitters in pink, lavender, turquoise, green, blue, & gold. Lots of shapes, including flowers and diamonds make this polish extra interesting. Some of the gold diamonds have some reflective curling going on, but were easily smoothed with a layer of top coat. This is two coats over Ulta3 Baby Pink.

When I first started re-watching this movie and I saw the very start, it really hit home how old the movie is.  The beginning shows a young boy being read a book by his grandfather.  That young boy in the movie is Fred Savage, and he looks as you as he was in the first episodes of The Wonder Years.




The pit of despair - Mostly square and hex glitters in black, gunmetal, purple and blue in a slightly shimmery base.  There is some reflective curling on the blue squares and purple hexes, but again it was easy to get smooth with top coat. This is two coats of Ulta3 Pacific Splash.




Have Fun Storming the Castle -A light gray crelly loaded with varying sizes and shaped lavender, garnet, purple, and burgundy glitters. The finish on this was lovely, although next time I would probably layer this over a creme.  I did four coats to achieve full opacity, and I totally loved the translucent glitter sandwich effect.




A great collection that was fun to swatch and has some really polishes.

Dollish Polish - The Princess Bride Collection Part 1

Today I have some swatches for you of the recent Dollish Polish - The Princess Bride Collection.  This is my first experience with Dollish Polish and there are a lot of things I like.  I like the square bottle with the caps that pull off and I like the polish formulas. I love this collection's theme and particularly love how well the polishes match then names chosen from the movie.  The Princess Bride Collection is big, with 14 polishes. So I'll share seven with you tonight and another seven tomorrow.

First up, are you a fan of the movie The Princess Bride.  The movie really has quite a cult following, and the truth is I hadn't watched it for many, many years and I couldn't place many of the polish names.  So while over at my brother and sister-n-laws place I was chatting to them about the movie.  They said they had it on DVD which I could borrow. So last weekend as I sat there swatching the collection I watched the movie.  You know what, it really is a dumb movie. But it's a funny dumb movie.

Anybody want a peanut - A Pinky-Beige crelly with varying glitters in Gold, Copper, and Chocolate Brown. This is three thin coats on it's own with Seche Vite top coat.




Chocolate coating makes it go down easy - A delicious rich chocolate brown shimmer with bronze micro glitter and a hint of tiny holo glitters.  I did two coats on its own with Seche Vite top coat.  the first photo is in the shade to show how chocolatey it looks without direct lighting. The other two photos are in the full sun, and you can really see how rich the colour is.




Drop. Your. Sword. - The palest sky blue, with a deeper blue shimmer with gold and gold holo hexes. This polish is inspired by Princess Buttercup's and Prince Humperdink attire from their famously flubbed wedding.  The dress that Princess Buttercup is wearing is so pretty and the polish is such a perfect match.  This is three coats with Seche Vite.




Hello, My Name Is Inigo Montoya - You killed my father. Prepare to die- hee hee. A Gorgeous rich Olive Green with iridescent flakies and varying sized green glitters!  This is two coats shown in artificial light, the bright light makes it look like I should have put three coats on, but it was certainly nicely opaque in real life.




ROUS's I don't think they exist - What's an ROUS you ask, why it's a Rodent Of Unusual Size, one of the three terrors of the fire swamp.  Jammed packed with hexagon & square glitters in shades of gold, champagne, and caramel.  I wore two coats on it's own but I should have done three to get it totally opaque without undies. 




The Man in Black - A black crelly base with multicoloured glass flecks. Two coats with Seche Vite.




Wuv Twu Wuv - This was actually one polish name I recognised immediately. The hilarious voice of the minister who is marrying Princess Buttercup's and Prince Humperdink.  That is exactly how he pronounces Love, True Love.  A bright hot pink jelly with pink glass flecks, and various sized and shaped red and neon pink glitters. Two coats on it's own with Seche Vite.




Tomorrow I'll have another seven polishes from this collection.
