Enchanted Polish - I am the Walrus + Ola Rio

Here are a couple more Enchanted Polishes today.  I am the Walrus is another holographic multichrome. I thought this would be quite similar to Ozotic Mish Mash 531, which it is, and it isn't.  When I wrote about Mish Mash 531, I believed it was a holographic version of Ozotic multichrome 502.  I think I am the Walrus looks more like a holo version of Ozotic 520.  Of course 502 and 520 are nearly the same as can be seen in this comparison

The other big different between the Enchanted Polishes and the Ozotics, which I have said before, is the opacity of the polish.  These photos show I am the Walrus at three coats on it's own.  I like not having to layer these over black.  Although, the holo effect in the Enchanted Polishes is not as strong as the Ozotic ones.

I am the Walrus shifts from a pinkish red through to a golden orange.  These photos are taken in full sun.




In the shade you don't see the holo effect, but the multichrome colours really come out.


To bring out the full spectrum of the multichrome colours, here are some under water photos.


Next I added Ola, Rio on top.  Ola Rio is a multichrome glitter like the Ozotic Elytra 530 and Hits Airglow and it is packed with glitter.  The Ozotic version is a little sparse, but this is excellent.  The colour shift in this glitter is the same as Ia m the  Walrus, going from pinky red to golden orange.




Finally, some extra underwater shots to show the awesomeness.


As you can see, my bottles are the old version with the paper labels.  Enchanted Polish how has gorgeous bottles with a printed castle emblem on it.

These polishes were sent for review.

Enchanted Polish - Secret Sauce

Last week I had the pleasure to receive a box full of Enchanted Polishes sent to me for reviewing purposes.  But there is nothing worse than when the delivery man hands over the package and you can smell it.  You just know that some poor polish is laying in that box, all gooey and sticky, bleeding its beloved innards all over its self, and potentially all the other polishes in the package.

Chelsea had packaged the box up perfectly, but unfortunately this box received some bad handling, cause one corer of the box was smashed in, and when I opened it, that was where the broken bottle lay.

There was Secret Sauce all over the bubble wrap, and a sticky and lumpy mass the corner of the box.  But all was not lost...

Chelsea had already gone to so much effort to select, package and send these to me, I didn't want her to have to resend just one polish for me to blog about. I wanted to see if I could at least salvage one mani good enough to blog about, out of that gloopy polish in the box. I grabbed a palette knife and scraped up some polish and wiped it onto my glass table.  I then added nail polish thinner one drop at a time until I was able to get a workable consistency.

Then I applied two coats of Secret Sauce, straight off the glass table onto my black base.

As you can see, Secret Sauce is a colour shifting top coat.  This is a topcoat made with the red to green colour changing powder that I sold small sample size amounts of last year.  I've not worn one of these color shifting polishes in ages and I forgot how simply amazing this shizz is.

So while I can't specifically comment of the formula or the brush of this polish, I can say that if I can get it to work this good off a lump of polish in the corner of a box, reconstituted on a glass table, then I think you will be pretty much right with a bottle of Secret Sauce.

Enchanted Polish is available from their Etsy Store or from Llarowe

This polish was sent to me for review.
