Northern Star Polish: The Vampire Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Good evening! It's a cool and rainy evening here which makes me a happy gal! I have a gorgeous collection from Northern Star Polish to show you tonight. This collection is "inspired by the nebulous world of the vampire."




Post continued after the jump!



This is the first time I have featured Northern Star here on the blog but I have used a few of the polishes, as well as the cuticle oil, and I have loved them all.  I am quite impressed with the formulas, as well as the polish colors themselves. It shows that Kristin puts a lot of thought and care into her creations.

Dark Gift is a gorgeous dusty orchid linear holographic polish with an amazing formula. I used two coats and no top coat for the photos. 

This polish was so hard for me to photograph. The first 3 photos are with my regular camera, which captured the holo best, but would not capture the correct color. The last 3 pics are more color-accurate but don't show the holo as well.

Immortal Kiss is a tricky one to describe! It cal look dark plum, brown or even black depending on lighting and skin tone. The scattered holo shines beautifully in the crelly base. Opaque in 2 regular or 3 light coats.

One with the Shadows is a cool-toned grey with black, silver and blue shimmer and micro-glitter. The blue shimmer really comes out to play in the sun photos but on me, in momst lighting, it looked more grey than blue. It's such a perfect color for winter. Two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.
