It’s been an age since I swatched any nail polish so today I’m going to show off two polishes from Polish Alcoholic‘s Autumn 2013 Collection which is available to purchase on Etsy now. Both of these polishes are nicely pigmented, slightly shimmery shades with a some subtle glitter in the mix too.
Black Nightshade is a black polish tinted silvery blue with a subtle shimmer finish. As the name suggests, this polish does a great job of imitating the night sky. There’s some very fine glitter particles in here which sparkle holographic if you catch the light just right and it really looks like distant stars!
I used 3 coats for this swatch but for a less intense black, you could use two. It’s topped with one coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat.

Amor Vincit Omnia is a bright fuschia polish, sprinkled with magenta glitter. The glitter in this one isn’t as fine as in Black Nightshade but I was really impressed with how evenly it came out of the bottle and distributed across my nails. As you can see in the pictures, there’s no sign of the glitter accumulating closer to the the tips as you often get with glittery cremes. Again, there’s a very subtle shimmer in here which works well with the glitter.
This swatch s 3 coats with a coat of Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat.
