Hello!
I'm back with one final trio from Stella Chroma that will go on sale this Black Friday: The Constellations Trio, which is a gorgeous set of multichrome magnetic flakie polishes--and if it has multichrome and flakies, I'm IN.
All of these polishes are black-jelly based, and so can be either worn alone (opaque in 2-3 coats), or can be worn with just 1-2 coats over undies. I'll do a comparison of those two methods with the last polish so you can see both options.
Let's jump in with Stella Chroma Gemini, which is a black jelly magnetic polish with flakies that shift green-gold-red, or, in my opinion, olive-gold-rust:

Formula: Excellent formula and application.
Other issues: Great dry time, easy-as-pie removal.
I was interested to see how a black-jelly based multichrome would perform as a magnetic; as with most multichromes, in some lights you get mostly one color, but in other lights you'll get a completely different color--but, you'll see that color shift within the area that your magnet has highlighted, which is very, very cool.
Gemini has a tiger's-eye feel that I love--I've always been partial to that gemstone and this really reminds me of it. I love the olive-rust-gold interplay, especially this time of year it makes me think of renaissance Christmas tapestries.
Next up is Stella Chroma Perseus, a black jelly with gold-red-violet shifting magnetic flakies:

I included a picture in this batch that shows the polish in light that highlights the main color, to show you that the magnetic slash is really there and forms well--when the duochrome hits, the camera shows the awesome color shift but doesn't differentiate the magnetic shift as much.
This makes me think of a gilded vineyard--I don't know what that even is, but this polish looks like it. Gorgeous deep green vines with deep violet grapes, dusted with sprinkles of gold. So pretty any time of year, but so festive for the holidays!
Next we have Stella Chroma Orion, a black-jelly polish with violet-blue-green (amethyst-sapphire-emerald) shifting magnetic flakes:

I love all three of these polishes hard-core, but this one is my favorite. These colors are so differentiated, they're like gemstones dancing on your nails, or like the most amazing little universes! I love staring at the polish, and I love staring at these pictures. Love, love, LOVE.
Okay, so I also want to show you the difference when you put this over undies. For this I only used one coat of Orion over a black base:

As you can see, just one coat still gives a strong magnetic effect. The plus of putting the polish over undies is that the magnetic effect is sharper--and, of course, your bottle of gorgeous polish lasts longer (and I'm not gonna lie, I'm
This trio will be available in Stella Chroma's store on Black Friday at noon EST; you can purchase each separately for $13 or the set for $36, through December 7th. And, from Black Friday--Cyber Monday, she's offering free domestic shipping with any purchase of $25 or more--no code required. She'll also give a free upgrade to domestic priority shipping from Dec. 14-19, since the 19th is the last day to ship in time for Christmas.
And a portion of the proceeds of all the polishes that Stella Chroma sells during the last quarter of 2018 will be donated to GirlStart, a non-profit based in Austin, Texas that helps young girls develop interests in STEM.
And in the meantime, you can find Stella Chroma all over the interwebs:

Thanks so much, Michelle! I love that you showed the difference between the polishes on their own and with undies. Two different looks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love that versatility. I was skeptical about how it would look over undies, especially with one coat, because I thought that might diminish the magnetic effect. But no! Very cool. :)
