Ever After Polish released a trio of neutral polishes, exclusive to Rainbow Connection, a UK polish stockist. I was able to purchase these through a group buy, and let me tell you...they are stunning! I'm usually not one for neutral polishes, but Rachel (half of the Ever After team, who creates the polishes) has changed that for me!
While swatching these, I also thought that they would look beautiful as a base for some early Valentine's Day nail art. Each swatch will be accompanied by a stamped design. Keep reading for swatches, descriptions, and pictures!
Au Naturel
Au Naturel is a nude linear holographic with scattered flakies. Application was a breeze, and it was opaque in two coats! Shown are two coats, plus one coat of NYC Grand Central Station, my go-to top coat.
For my stamping, I chose an image from Cici & Sisi plate 08, from their
pink set, and stamped using
Hit the Bottle 'Rusty Nail.' This picture was taken without any additional top coat, under a daylight lamp.
Nudist
Nudist is a light, ballerina pink with silver flakies and a shy linear holographic. Just like Au Naturel, application was a breeze, and she was opaque in two coats! Shown are those two coats, plus one layer of NYC Grand Central Station.
For this nail art, I stamped an image from PUEEN29, from their
Love Elements set, using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Presto Pink.' This picture is with no additional top coat.
50 Shades
The final shade of the trio is called '50 Shades,' and it is a light gray linear holographic with silver flakies. This was my favorite out of the three, and it was opaque in two coats! Shown are two coats, with one layer of NYC Grand Central Station.
For this final nail art, I decided to go for some black stamping; hey, I need an anti-Valentine's Day design in here somewhere, right? They are warped, as it is a crooked heart mani. The image is from PUEEN41 from the
Love Elements set, and it is stamped using black
Konad polish.
And there you have it! The Rainbow Connection exclusive trio from Ever After is still available in their shop. I believe that, unfortunately, polish from the UK can only be shipped within the UK; however, if you live where you can safely receive deliveries from there, you can go ahead and purchase these beauties!
