Since I’m trying to go through all my untrieds before I allow myself to buy more bottles of nail polish, I pulled out the the last three Cult Nails polishes that I purchased during their last $5 sale. Yeah, I can hear you laughing at the idea of me not buying anything until I go through my untrieds….I’m looking at you Nicole and Lesley. To be honest, I doubt I’m going to stick to it but I resisted the urge to go to my nail places today. I’m going to wait until my crack dealer tells me that he has the new Essie collection in before I drag my butt out there. I think I’m getting better at using my new camera so I hope these pictures at least seem of better quality. You be the judge.
Let Me Fly is the color that I was most looking forward to trying out, and it did not disappoint. This color has more green in it so I don’t know why it photographed so blue. The color is amazing and the formula flowed like butter. It only needed two coats which I love.
I hadn’t heard anyone complain about the new Iconic so I didn’t go in with any preconceived notions. I love this polish. What is not to like about a smouldering magenta/red/brown/copper/gold polish with awesome flakes? This is another one of those polishes that look like they are on fire–yes, it’s that dramatic.
And lastly, I also purchased Hypnotize Me. I am pretty sure this is a polish that is meant for layering because it looks kind of weird on its own. I had to apply 3 coats for these swatches and the formula was so incredibly goopy and hard to control. Despite it being a glitter, it was not difficult to remove and did not dry super gritty. Once I applied a coat of Seche, it was perfectly smooth.
Once again, Cult Nails impresses me with beautiful colors. I’m eyeing their new collection now…ooohhh….so many pretties. Are you also a fan of Cult Nails? Do you have a favorite color to recommend for my next purchase?
Completely OT, but the next time I come to LA you have to tell me where you pick up Jessica's on the cheap! I still haven't braved Vegas's Chinatown yet to snoop for goodies.
Good color choices on your Cult Nails, they're very pretty!
Totally. 🙂 You'll go crazy, I promise. There are about 20 nail supply places in like a 2 mile radius. lol
Love the first one!
Whoa! What is this? You finally commented on my blog? I am in shock!!!!!!!!!!!! 😛
When are we going to the gym?!
Called out in a blog post! I feel amused and special!
I like these colors. I have Iconic & Hypnotize Me. Hypnotize Me is meant for layering…I think it was released with a teal cream. Try it over one that Sation polish you posted in that type of color…it will look amazeballs.
I'm pretty sure I already wrote out how absurdly many Cult Nails polishes I have in another post. They are all great…can't really go wrong!
You should cause you are special! Oooohhhh that is a good idea about pairing it with the teal sation. You do have an enviable cult nails collection for sure. Now you just have to try them all!!!!

i'm not sure if i want to jump on the "cult" bandwagon… the colors have never really screamed at me "BUY ME PUTA!!"..LOL are they worth it?

LOL…omg I nearly choked on my coffee with the "buy me puta" comment. You are crazy. LMAO I think they are totally worth it and I love that I'm supporting a blogger! 🙂 The quality is awesome.
I don't even laugh anymore… you say you're not gonna buy polish and I just wait for the next post where you empty a giant bag and a billion polishes magically fall out! I love seeing all your new finds, I don't have enough money to fall off the no-buy or low-buy bandwagon in the same fashion as you so I like to live vicariously. ;p This may be an unpopular opinion but I don't like that Iconic polish. Idk why exactly, maybe just cuz it looks like the polish my mom has worn as long as I can remember so it's kinda boring to me. From your description though it sounds like a little of it's magnificence is lost in the photo so I'll talk your word for it. 🙂 I'm sad about Hypnotize me… that's the one I THOUGHT I was gonna like the most but yeah- it looks way too sheer to wear alone. Darn. 🙁 I'm a Cult fan for sure, but can't always afford to pre-order the collections which is what I'd LOVE to do. I just like supporting a blogger, like you said, and I just like how she's so personal and everything. 🙂
I think you really do have to see it in person. If your mom has been wearing something similar for a long time, she was probably very chic! 🙂 I think hypnotize me will come to life with an interesting creme underneath. I can't wait to try it out.
I haven't purchased any polishes at full price yet so I'll keep stocking up when they have sales. Once I have a steady income coming in, well….that will be a different story. Oh man…nail polish is going to lead me to straight to hell. lol
nah… just to the poor house! ;p just kiddinggggg! When I get a full time job (my summer job is only about 4 hrs a day) then I, too, will be swimming in polish 😉
