Sea Lore Arista - Swatches and Review

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have some fantabulous plans this weekend! Before I go any further I want to remind you that the Sea Lore Alana giveaway ends tomorrow (Saturday, August 25th) so don't forget to enter! The link will be at the bottom of the post.

Tonight I have Arista - "Deep crimson jelly polish with red holo hexes and red shimmer." This is one of my favorites of the collection - the shimmer is just crazy. It absolutely glows, even in the shade. 

As with all of the other Sea Lore polishes, I had no issues with application or formula and there are absolutely no curling glitters whatsoever. (You can see more on the curling glitter issue, addressed by Jamie, here.) I layered Arista over a different base color on each finger EXCEPT for my pinky where I used 3 coats of Arista over my bare nail.

First up are some (okay - SEVERAL) sunlight shots and then I have some shade shots so you can see how it glows....

Jamie is having a 10% off sale starting tonight and ending Sunday night. I highly recommend these polishes and who doesn't love a sale?! Use the code YAYFANS at checkout. To read more about the sale click here.

All of Sea Lore polishes are hand mixed, 3-free and cruelty-free and only use stainless steel balls. All of the glitters are tested a minimum of 2 months by themselves in base to ensure that all glitters are non bleeding and non curling. Jamie says, "We are a relatively new company, but have been in the works for quite a while. I took my time designing each and every portion of the Sea Lore line, from gift wrapping each order to the labels on each bottle, I just wanted to show each and every customer how much they mean to me! As a thank you to my customers, I am offering a free ring with every $20 purchase with your choice of Sea Lore color."  


Make sure to check out my first post from Sea Lore week (Sea Lore Adella) for a review of the brand, pics of the packaging and ring and, of course, the giveaway!! Also check out my other posts from Sea Lore Week - AlanaAndrinaAlana over ArizonaAquata and Ariel.
