Hello!
Today we're gonna take a look at four polishes from Moonflower Polish's new Isla del Encanto summer 2017 collection of stamping polishes, a collection designed to be vibrant and opaque over both dark and light colors:

| Moonflower Polish El Yunque, Calles del Viejo, Flor de Maga, Cavernas del Rio Camuy |
From left to right, we have:
- El Yunque: a forest green with green-gold to purple blue shifting shimmer and green-gold microflakies
- Calles del Viejo San Juan: and indigo blue with indigo-purple-red shifting flakies and purple shimmer
- Flor de Maga: a Red with gold-purple-pink shimmer and rose gold microflakes that give it a slight berry feel and
- Cavernas del Rio Camuy: a coffee-bronze brown with gold microflakes and shimmer
I love love LOVE these colors, especially that brown! There aren't very many good quality, pretty brown stamping polishes out there and I am beyond stoked to get to play with this one!
Of course I did a video review so you can see them in action:
The first thing I did was try the polishes out over white and black:

You can see they all show up beautifully over both colors, and the shimmer shines through!
My next big question is always will the polishes smear when I put topcoat on them; here's what happened when I slathered on some Seche Vite:

Not even a hint of smudge, and the shimmer pops out even more. Gorgeous!!

Since the flag wouldn't sit right on my other hands, I did a red-blue gradient with the stripes and stars image on the other hand:

I love how well these play together, and I love how they pop over the white. Very festive and fun, and I'm all ready for the weekend!
I'm impressed with these polishes--getting shimmers to be opaque even over black can be tough, and I was really pleased with how these showed up. I did find that when I worked with a clear stamper, I needed to work fast--something that happens with a lot of stamping polishes, but just a heads-up. And I love all of the colors in the collection--absolutely stunning.
