Aly's Dream Polish- Color List UPDATE 02-2014

Well hey friends! As some of you have noticed, there have been changes and additions to the Aly's Dream Polish line. Hopefully this will clear everything up and help you know what is what.
Violet Red and Deep Plum  have been retired, simply because of pigmentation problems. Because it is so difficult to perfectly replicate an old formula with a new pigment, it is safer to retire the color. There will be new similar shades to replace them in the collection, and (as far as I know) the new colors will be offered as replacement to those who have morphed versions of the original polishes first.
If you have any questions for me, ask in the comment section below.

Aly's Dream Polish Miscellaneous Swatches

Hey Everyone! I was looking for swatches of Aly's Dream Polish to put on my Pinterest boards and I couldn't find accurate (or even ANY) swatches for most of these colors, so I thought I'd use some basic swatch pictures I took and post them here for all of you gals to use! Names of each color are listed below :)

Deep Plum

 Emerald

 Holographic Top Coat

 Intense Blurple

 Navy

 Super Cherry

Sweet Dreams

Hope these help y'all! XOXO

Quick Comparison: Aly's Dream Polish "Browncoats" and Enchanted "Hot Chocolate" (PIC HEAVY)

What's not to love about a rich brown holo? I have two stunners to compare today, both are beautiful for their own reasons! I'll let you choose your favorite (or you might choose both, like I did!)
Here's Aly's Dream Polish "Browncoats"

Here's Enchanted "Hot Chocolate"

 And here are the two swatches side by side:
Browncoats on left, Hot Chocolate on right

I feel that besides the shade difference, Browncoats has a softer, more well-rounded look; while Hot Chocolate has a stronger holo. Each need about two coats for opacity, and they both apply easily.

Which one is your favorite?


*I am not affliliated with either polish brand. My opinions are my own.

Aly's Dream Polish Ballad of Serenity (partial) Collection Review (PIC HEAVY)

"Aly" recently released a new collection inspired by the TV Series "Firefly" and the movie "Serenity". If you haven't seen either, I strongly suggest checking them out! I believe both are currently on Netflix. Go check them out now! I'll wait.

...

Welcome back! Isn't it so good? Welcome to my nerdy world! ...

...Anyway. I am missing three polishes from this collection- Reavers, Companion, and Inevitable Betrayal. I strongly suggest taking a look at them on her site. Also, I ask an apology in advance for the less-than-quality pictures. I had so many requests for swatches and so little daylight left. Hopefully I will update these pictures ASAP.
First up is Browncoats. This polish is very similar to those you will find in her Holographic Euphoria collection. It applies very evenly and is nearly opaque in two coats. The result is a lovely rich chocolate brown.

This is my husband's favorite polish of mine. Yes, he has a favorite. No, please don't tell him I told you.

Next is a fun polish mix named "The 'verse". I can definitely see the resemblance. I only used one coat in the following pictures, but I would suggest two for optimum appeal. Although the glitter had sunk to one side of the bottle when it arrived, a few slow turns of the bottle helped re-mix everything together. I felt the glitter also spread evenly without effort. The base is a dark brown, almost black. There are various sizes of highly holographic hex glitters mixed throughout, as well as some black hex.

Honestly, these pictures do not do these polishes justice. They are far more holographic than they seem.

Third is a topcoat glitter named "Cap'n Tightpants". You cannot make fun of this name until you have seen the show. Seriously. If you've already watched it, watch it again. It's fantastic. This polish is a mix of purple hex and holographic black hex glitters, and it is quite stunning. I used one coat for the pictures below, and honestly, they don't do this beauty justice. The holo is magnificent.

The last polish on my list, Invite Diamond, is my personal favorite from this collection. There are SO many shapes, sizes, and strengths of holographic glitter in this topcoat, it's practically blinding. I've added extra pictures in this set in hopes I can give you a better glimpse of the craziness going on here. I also highly recommend this polish for those that hate glitter polishes because they snag. This polish goes on so smooth you don't even need a topcoat. How amazing is that?!

I can't say enough good about this collection. You can purchase all the polishes separately, or in two sets, as full coverage polishes and as topcoats. There is also a holographic powder included in the topcoat set that I did not picture. It can be used with your polish, or mixed in body lotion, etc for a night out on the town! You can purchase all these polishes and more in Aly's store here:

Have fun shopping everyone!
