piCture pOlish Contest Prize Review (PIC HEAVY)

As some of you may know, I recently won a contest from piCture pOlish, and they sent me 6 of their full-size bottles direct from Down Under! I was SO excited when I received my package today!


I opened it up to find these beauties:


I will be reviewing them all in this post :)
I want to ask everyone forgiveness in advance as I am still learning how to fully clean up my manis. I promise  to do better with time! Also, I am going to use this post to try a new way to review. I'm not sure if I will keep it, so I would love feedback on what you think of the rating system! Rating system key will be in the side bar.


All six of these polishes have micro flecks of holographic sparkle, so I will only mention colors and any other glitter that each polish may contain besides the sparkle.

First up, Cosmos:
(Artificial light)
This polish is a vivid true blue.
Opacity: 3
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

2 coats, no base or top:

Next is Hope a dark, (almost teal) navy with the very occasional cobalt hex glitter:

Opacity: 4
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5
Two coats, no base or top:

Kyrptonite- of course I love the name of this one, I have been a Superman fan for quite a while!
This polish is a dark grass green (unfortunately no blue tint for the emerald lovers like me)
Opacity: 4
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

In artificial light:

In direct sunlight:

Two coats, no base or top:


This next color is tied for #1 on my list of Top 10 polishes.
Ocean, a bright Malibu blue.

Opacity: 2
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

In artificial light:

In direct sunlight:

Three coats, no base or top:

Stepping away from the blue and green tones, we have a very pretty stark red (think Essie's "Clambake") that shares the same name as Miss Scarlett. "I shall never go without nail polish again!"
That's not how it goes? Oh, well frankly my dears, I don't give a darn. Haha, just kidding ladies!

Opacity: 2.5
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

In artificial light:

In direct sunlight:

Two coats, no base or top:

The last polish is a stunning pink that depends on the light for it's undertones of blue or yellow.
The name is "Shocked" (by the power of looove!). Ahh, Kylie, the lovely Aussie.

Opacity: 2
Application: 5
Wear: 5
Removal: 5

Artificial light:

Direct sunlight:

Three coats, no base or top:

There you have it! What lovely prizes. I am so grateful to have won such a wonderful gift. I wish there was enough to go around!
I hope you enjoyed looking. If you would like to order these polishes, you can order them directly from piCture pOlish, however international shipping will be pretty hefty. I would suggest splitting an order with a friend or shopping on an indie website like Llarowe or Nail Polish Canada.

Love ya!
