Elevation Polish- Space Collection

Good morning,

I'm finally settled in my new house! Well for the most part. Still have some unpacking to do. 

I sat for 5 hours straight with a Dr Pepper plus a few water bottles to complete these swatches/photos so I could post them. Plus 2 hours to watermark all photos and type this long blog post. Well today I'm going to be sharing the Space Collection from Elevation Polish. :) 

This collection consists of 6 polishes: cremes, jelly style cremes and 1 thermal. I will be posting full pictures then macros of each. Some have 2 macros and some only have one. My macros could of been more up close and personal but I wanted to include the nail polish bottle. 
   I absolutely love the colors in the collection and am very pleased with ALL the formulas. The polishes were all 1-2 polishes. I didn't have to apply 3 coats to any which makes me happy!

Let's get into it this collection!😊
 First up is "The Dandelion Cluster". This polish is a dark brown/black color with a creme style base. Has a gold/bronze/green shifting shimmer-also hints of orange in the shift. On top of this shifting shimmer there is also a soft linear holo to the polish.  
"The Dandelion Cluster" is such a unique polish and I love that about it!

Application: 1 word: AMAZING!
There was NO streaks when I applied this. It won't on smooth, even, and flawless. This polish even dried really fast too. I used 2 thin coats (plus 1 thin coat of INM Out the Door Topcoat) but you could maybe get away with 1 thicker coat of polish plus add topcoat. 
Here is a macro of "The Dandelion Cluster". The picture of the left is no flash and the picture on the right is with flash. 
Next up is "Lagoon Nebula" a gorgeous teal/ "lagoon" color. This is another cream style base but thicker than the last polish.  In this polish there is a shifting shimmer that shifts between blue & violet/red color. Along with the shifting shimmer there is a soft linear holo to the polish. 

Application: Once again- AMAZING! I love Elevation Polishes formulas. They are always flawless and so smooth. I experienced NO streaks upon application. This polish goes on even and really has no need to self level since it's so smooth. I used 2 thin coats, plus INM Topcoat. Honestly, if I didn't use "yellow stopper" as a base (it brightens nails so it brought out my natural free edge) then I wouldn't have had a need to use 2 coats.  
Here are the macros of "Lagoon Nebula". Picture on the left has NO flash. Picture on the right has flash on.
Next up is "Space Raspberries & Rum". A darker raspberry color in a jelly/creme type of base. This polish is filled with holo flakies, very soft gold shimmer and a medium linear holo to it.

Application: Another amazing one! I experienced no steaks during application. This went on very smooth, even, and flawless. Dried fairly quick too. I used 2 thin coats plus INM Out the Door Topcoat.
Here are the macros for "Space Raspberries & Rum". Picture on the left is no flash. Picture on the right is with flash. 
Next up is "Galactic Cannibalism". A navy  blue jelly/creme style polish. This one was more opaque that the last jelly/creme (Space Raspberries & Rum). In this polish there is holo flakies & holo shimmer.

Application: I feel like I repeat myself when it comes to Elevation Polish because they never disappoint me with their polishes & formulas. Again another outstanding polish/formula. No streaks upon applying, very smooth & even. No need for self level since it goes on so nicely. Dried pretty quick. This was opaque in 2 thin coats. I also added INM Out the Door Topcoat.
Here's a macro of "Galatic Cannibalism. This was taken with NO flash.
Next up is "Camelopardalis". A taupe/ "mushroom" creme polish. This polish is filled with different colors of chrome flakies (also called "ultra chrome") and has a medium linear holo to it.

Application: you guessed it- AMAZING! I experienced no streaks upon applyin. Nothing but smooth, even, flawless coats. No need for self level since it applies so nice. Dried fast between coats. I used 2 thin coats, plus INM Out the Door Topcoat.
Here's the macro for "Camelopardalis". There was no flash used for this picture.
Lastly is "Limited Edition: Ground Control to Major Yeti" a gorgeous thermal. This thermal is filled with the same ultra chrome shimmer/flakies that is in "Camelopardalis". Pictured is cold temperature which is a dark gray/charcoal color. 

Application: You already know. AMAZING, FABULOUS, OUTSTANDING, FLAWLESS you name it. Lmao. No streaks when applying, smooth, even, no need for self leveling but could if needed. This thermal was in my opinion a little thick so maybe a creme style base. 
I used 2 thin coats, no topcoat. Has a satin finish and dried really quick.
Here is "Limited Edition: Ground Control to Major Yeti" is a hot state. When it's under hot water it turns to a little gray. This light grey really bring out the ultra chrome flakies which I love!

That is all for this collection! Overall I love all the colors and formulas. They were all creamy and opaque within 2 coats.

I definitely would recommend heading over to Elevation Polish and checking out all their polishes and colors. You wont be disappointed. ;)
