Polishnv Swatches & Review

Hey guys! I have an awesome new indie brand on the blog today! Polishnv (Polish Envy?) is a newer Etsy store with a great mix of glitter and holo polishes, and I have three of the pretties to share with you.

left to right, up to down: Purple Haze, Crush Hour, Pink Flamingo

Crush Hour is a clear base full of red, orange, yellow, and blue hexes, purple holo shards, and sparse iridescent purple microglitter.I layered it over Lime Crime Lavendairy, a pastel lavender creme. Application was quite nice, there was a good amount of glitter and it spread on pretty easily across the nail. I really like this color mix, also! It seems citrus-y or tropical somehow to me, and the dash of holo mixed with mostly matte glitter is nice.

1 coat Polishnv Crush Hour
1 coat HK Girl Topcoat

Pink Flamingo is a reddish pink holo. The official listing calls this magenta (and of course there is the title, haha) but I think this looks more red than pink personally - the first coat is definitely pink but not fully opaque, and the second coat builds it perfectly to a reddish pink. Regardless, this is a gorgeous color, and application was lovely!

Purple Haze is a blue-leaning purple holo. I love this color so much! It actually reminds me of OPI DS Glamour a touch, like it's lighter, more purple cousin, but the color is in a similar family as well as similarly very vibrant. This one was more sheer than Pink Flamingo, I needed four coats for this opacity, but it still built nicely and application was easy. So pretty!

Overall I was definitely very pleased with Polishnv! The holos were fantastic in particular, very vibrant and colorful, with really strong holo effects. I hope they continue to add more colors to their holo line - if they do I definitely won't be able to stay away! :)

To check out Polishnv be sure to visit their Etsy shop and Facebook!

Have a fabulous day!
