Swatch: Anne Kathleen - Emma

The product in this post was sent to me for review. All opinions are my own.

Today I have another polish from Anne Kathleen to review. This is my favorite of the two I received!

Emma is a clear polish with small holographic pink glitter and gold flakes. To me, this polish has a very autumn-like feel, so I layered it over brown (Sephora by OPI Thyme for a Mani). Once again, I've worn it both glossy and matte below, although the matte topcoat takes away the holographic effect from the pink glitter.

I think the gold flakes make Emma look so sophisticated! This would be a perfect party/holiday polish.

The formula was great--not too thick, and plenty of glitter to go around. I did have to dab a little bit to get the glitter to cover evenly, but it wasn't too much extra effort. The texture of the glitter is easily smoothed with one coat of topcoat.

Emma is available at annekathleen.com ($10 for 15 ml). It's 5-free, cruelty-free and vegan! You can also follow the brand on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest!

Swatch: Anne Kathleen - Adelaide

The product in this post was sent to me for review. All opinions are my own.

I have a ton of new polishes to swatch for you! I'm starting this week with two polishes graciously sent to me by Leanne of Anne Kathleen. Today I'm wearing Adelaide, a glitter topper from the All That Glitters collection.

Adelaide is a clear polish packed with pink microglitter and small bronze hexes. I layered it over OPI My Vampire is Buff. I've shown it both glossy and matte below so you can see the colors of the glitter better.

I was really happy with Adelaide! As you can see, the glitter payoff with this polish is terrific. And the formula was easy to apply, not too thick, and with no dabbing required to get the glitter even. One coat of topcoat was enough to smooth out any texture. You can't ask for much better with a glitter polish!
