piCture pOlish Cosmos: Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! I posted a sneak peak of piCture pOlish Cosmos when I showed you my glow-in-the-dark star mani. So today I have proper swatches of this special polish. I was originally going to post the swatches as an addendum to my star mani, but then I changed my mind - this polish is so awesome it deserves its own blog post!

Cosmos is part of the piCture pOlish Collaboration Series, where they collaborate with bloggers and distributors. This is the second collaboration with Pshiiit Boutique, the first one is called (appropriately) Pshiiit. I love all the collaboration shades. I've probably told you before, but my goal is to try and get my hands on as many of them as I possibly can. Slowly but surely I'm working on that! :D

Cosmos is a jelly-based intense deep blue polish. The colour leans very slightly towards green, and if you know your pigments, I'd say it looks like a phthalo blue. It's scattered with tiny irregular shaped particles - micro-flakes - that have a beautiful shimmer. It also has a scattered holo effect, although I did not find that it was particularly strong. But it's still visible in some lights. Most of the time you see a shimmery vibrant blue.

The formula was pretty good, I used three coats here, but you could get away with two. You will want to wait a few minutes between coats, otherwise you might pull up the polish from the previous coat and end up with bald spots. And nobody likes bald spots. There was minimal staining after I removed it, but nothing major. Overall, the application and wear was very good.

Since Cosmos came out, piCture pOlish has done a few more collaboration shades that have a similar jelly base with shimmer. I'm really loving what they have been doing lately, and I can't wait to get my hands on all the newer shades (I have Hope but there's a few more!).

piCture pOlish is available on their website, there you will also find a list of their distributors.

What do you think of Cosmos? Do you have any piCture pOlish?
