365 Days of Color Horcrux Collection

Today I would like to show you the new 365 Days of Color Horcrux Collection which goes on pre-sale today. I must confess that I have not read any of the Harry Potter books and have only seen the first movie, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over these beautiful polish creations. I had to get schooled in the ways of Harry Potter by my boyfriend and 7 year old nephew. The two of them had quite an intense debate and lost me somewhere along the way, but at least now I know what a Horcrux is and when it comes to polish, it is beautiful...


The Snake
A periodot green jelly with a green glass fleck shimmer. The formula is sheer and I needed four thin coats to build up to this coverage. It applies smoothly with no streaking. I love this color so much! Wore it solo for a day before adding a little something I'll show you soon. These swatches are with a top coat...

The Ring
A gold to green duochrome glass fleck filled lacquer. My camera was intent on capturing the olive gold shift of this polish and refused to capture the green on my nails. Look at the bottle shots here for peeks at the green. Sometimes my camera just refuses to cooperate. This needed three coats go get good coverage on it's own. I think it would look fantastic layered over a black or dark green base. Application of this one was very nice. Swatches are with a top coat...

The Diadem
A clear base with small gold and silver glitter in addition to larger silver circle glitter and small blue glitter sprinkled in. A really fun glitter mix. I used two coats plus a topcoat over The Ring for these swatches. There is plenty of glitter in each brush stroke and it applies evenly to the nail...

The Locket
An olive green with gold shimmer. This is also fairly sheer and needed three coats for good coverage. Application was smooth and no problems with streaking. I love this color. It is so pretty! Swatches are with a top coat...

The Goblet
A mix of gold and holographic glitter in a clear base. This applies easily with good distribution of glitter in each brush stroke. It would look great over just about any base. I layered two coats over The Locket and used a top coat for these swatches...

The Diary
A milky base loaded with a mix of various glitter. The photos don't do this justice since it has lots of holographic glitter that is very sparkly in real life even through the milky base. It is sheer so I used four thin coats to get this coverage. I think the sheerness really gives this a nice depth. One of my favorites from this collection. Swatches are with a top coat...

The Boy Who Lived
A mix of teal, green and holographic glitter in a black jelly base. It can reach full opacity on it's own around three coats, but I chose to layer two coats over black to really give the glitter a pop. This is so stunning and sparkly. I'm wearing it as I write this and it keeps distracting me! Application was very easy, lots of glitter in each brush stroke. Swatches are with a top coat...
