Sep 28 Starrily Ultraviolet and E=MC2 from Live.Love.Polish

For my FIRST EVER official blog post, (yay!) I have two absolute stunners to share with you from Starrily. Live.Love.Polish sent me these gorgeous shades to swatch and review, and lucky for me, it was also my first time trying Starrily! Before getting into the details, it's safe to say I am totally impressed. (Quick confession, I've always said "Star Lilly" in my head when reading the brand name, but that is clearly not how it's spelled!) Anyway, into the swatches!

Starrily "Ultraviolet"

First up is Ultraviolet, described as a "bold purple holographic polish", and that about sums it up! This polish is super saturated with excellent coverage in just two easy coats. I had zero problems with application. Purple lovers, add this beauty to your wish lists. It's such regal shade, perfect for fall and winter. The holo in this one has more of a glow than an overall sparkle, giving it a very rich effect.

Starrily "E=MC2"

Next up, and my favorite of the two, is E=MC2, described as a "dark grey to black jelly polish packed with silver holographic microglitter". To me it reads more black than grey in its final state, but they didn't lie when they said PACKED with glitter! This baby is oh so glitzy, I was legitimately "oohing" and "ahhing" out loud as I was applying it. I was also really impressed with the application. For such a glitter-packed polish, it applied easily in just two coats, and one coat of topcoat smoothed everything out. This just became my top contender for a New Years Eve mani!

Both of these beauties are available now on the Live.Love.Polish website! Live.Love.Polish is one of my favorite polish stockists. They offer a great variety of indie brands, as well as some mainstream brands, and I've only had great experiences purchasing from them.

Starrily "Ultraviolet" - $13 | Starrily "E=MC2" - $13

One last look at these #pridenails that make me so happy 😊🌈✨All polishes are @orly and the stars are from @cirquecolors 🌟 #pridenailart #rainbownails #rainbownailart #orly #orlynails #cirquecolors

Negative space #pridenails using several shades from @orly and stars from @cirquecolors 🌈🌟 #loveislove . . . I took some time off from this account and from nails in general to focus on what feels like a million more important things, but today I took advantage of downtime caused by cancelled plans (thanks a lot, coronavirus 🙄) and sat down to a podcast/nail art session and I gotta say: it felt GREAT. I still find it so relaxing to create these tiny pieces of art. . . . #rainbownails #orly #orlynails #pridenailart #rainbownailart
