Review of NEW Polished Collection!



Hey guys! Today new collections were realeased in the Doree and Polished stores. Here's a preview of what has been released in the Polished store and my thoughts on it! :)

As usual all of the polishes are overpriced in my opinion, so I won't mention price, just if I like the colour or not.



Overview of the Collection

Initial Thoughts?
The collection seems to be based on the current pastel trend but there's also some really gorgeous gradient colours, and some basic brights and darks. There's something for nearly any taste!
Possibly my favourite overall collection yet! 

Colours?
50's Mint

Price- 10sds.
I LOVE this colour, it's so beautiful! However, to me anyway, it doesn't look very mint-y, it's more like a pale Tiffany Box Blue colour. Possibly my favourite in the whole store!
For those who are wondering, this is the Tiffany Box Blue (one of my favourite colours!)


Mustard Yellow

Price- 10sds.
Mustard is a big trend for Autumn, so I'm really glad that they added this shade and not a garish bright yellow! The colour is lovely, though I think it may need the Top Coat to look it's best, as it looks quite plain without shine.

Apricot Pink

Price- 10sds.
I really like this polish! It's quite plain but I think it looks so chic and sophisticated, great for anyone who doesn't want their nails to overpower their outfit!

Salmon Pink

Price- 10sds.
It's a really pretty colour, however I wouldn't buy it if you have Soft Pink from the MSW Collection, as the colours are EXTREMELY similar.

Soft Violet

Price- 10sds
This more of a grey-purple but it's a really lovely colour, would work AMAZINGLY if wearing Lel1996's Northern Lights look, or my Aurora Look! 

Hot Like Fire

Price- 10sds.
This more an orange-toned red, which is very nice but skip-able if you already have a red nail polish in your collection.

Forest Green

Price- 10sds.
This probably isn't to everyone's tastes but I love it! It's so dark, but the colour is still very rich and vibrant. One of the best dark colours that they have released, in my opinion.

Midnight Navy

Price- 10sds.
Again, I really love this colour! The blue is absolutely gorgeous on it's own, but could look even more gorgeous with Top Coat over it!

Green Black
Price- 12sds.
DISAPPOINTMENT! The colour looks so stunning in the bottle, but makes very little effect on the nails. Perhaps if you had longer nails this would work, but I'm not loving it. VERY overpriced!!

Blue Black

Price- 12sds.
Same as the previous colour, not happy.

LOVES?

Review of MSW Polished Collection!

As many of you know, Stardoll is really milking their MSW campaign... one of their ways of doing is this is releasing new stores and collections. I am going to review the new collections in Doree and Polished.

First...


Here's the latest collection!


Opinion of the collection as a whole? 
GORGEOUS but WAAAY too expensive... 20sd for a single polish is RIDICULOUS!

Individual Reviews...

Soft Pink
Price- 14sds.

Gorgeous! I LOVE the soft, coral-pink colour of this polish, however I think the price of 14sds for a nail polish is ridiculous. One of my favourites.


Glitter Sky
Price- 20sds.

The price is absolutely horrific, but I kind of understand why. The glitters in this polish is gorgeous, and the purple colour is so rich and regal. One of my favourites, minus the price.


Crowns
17sds.

It's a nice idea but I just think it looks tacky and awkward on the nails. Not worth the money.



Shooting Stars
Price- 17sds.

Absolutely stunning, love the ombre effect of the colour. Price is extortionate though.


Star Rain
Price- 17sds.

Gorgeous, a more subtle alternative to Shooting Stars. Again, far too expensive.


Shine
Price- 17sds.

MEH. Not special, not worth the money in my opinion. Doesn't even do the effect on the bottle properly.


Violet
Price- 14sds.

Beautiful, the violet colour is so rich and beautiful. One of my favourites. Steep price though :-/

Pink Swipe
Price- 17sds.

Does the effect well, but I just don't like it. I think it looks quite tacky, however I think it could lovely with a very simple outfit. Ridiculous price.


Pink
Price- 14sds.

Gorgeous, vibrant colour. Could look a little tacky but it could also look extremely beautiful against certain outfits :)

Red Swipe
Price- 17sds

Same opinion as Pink Swipe... meh.

Loves?
Soft Pink
Violet
