Cupcake Polish Radioactive Collection

Press Sample

Hey there everyone! Sorry about the late posting of this today, Youtube has not been my friend and has taken forever to upload the video, but all is good now and I have some pretty swatches to show you! Todays post is all about Cupcake Polishes new collection called the Radioactive Collection! It consists of 6 fun and unique polishes! Literally none of these are alike which makes it so fun! These are releasing on August 13th at 8pm CDT so that is this upcoming Monday. Now enough with the chit chat, lets look at photos and read about the polishes! :)

Fallout
2 coat(s)

A glowing blue/teal/purple/gold multichrome nail polish with a strong flash of blue shimmer. 

Its early on in this post but I will warn you now, I'm going to sound quite repetitive because all of these polishes are so consistent and amazing. Fabulous formulas that are easy to work with and all cover so nicely in just 2 coats.

So this polish is the major shifter of the collection and oh my its insanely gorgeous. Here you get this lovely minty almost emerald green with a blue flash on the edges. Then....

I move just a lil bit and this glowy purple shows up and wows you!  Its so lovely.

Then you move a lil more and you get a blue/mint look that is a whole other shade. Its just a great shifting polish.

As you can see here the lil shimmers really do show up in the polish and just look so nice on the nail, and catch in the sun so nicely.

Half Life
2 coat(s)

A blue jelly nail polish with blue/teal/green shifting iridescent flakies and green shimmer with an almost purple flake shift. 

Half Life! Epp, I love this blue. Its quite different than any blue I have used. First off the formula is great, and even though it is a jelly its so pigmented and packed with flakies that it just applies perfectly. As you can see here you really get a neat teal/blue/green sheen from the flakies and it really just makes the polish.

They add so much depth and at certain angle due to the fact of its a jelly and its layering a tint over the flakies you even get a new blurple shade from certain angles, now I couldn't capture on the camera but its a beauty.

Atomic
2 coat(s)

A purple jelly nail polish packed with gold/red/green shifting iridescent flakies. 

I have never, ever used a flake polish like this and this packed, its insanely beautiful and mesmerizing! So this jelly base is so loaded that the 2 coats of this polish create a very full look, and the flakies layer so perfectly and the 2 coats of the layers just add so much depth.

Plus they shift really neatly, as you can see above. You get a blue green sheen and its just insane in the purple. Even just looking at it in the bottle it looks so neat, and unique. Now lets get super close!

Look at that! Isn't that just so neat, the gold, the blue, the green, the magenta,  it all works so well!

Beta
2 coat(s)

A grey linear holographic nail polish with a rainbow of shifty iridescent flakies. 

A grey holo?! Yes please! This is such a neat holo too,  because there are also iridescent flakies in the polish. Now sadly they aren't super obvious in the photos, but I do think they are in the video so be sure to check that out!

Oh and just because I decided to also share 2 macro photos of this polish so you can really get that holo shift on camera!

Its so pretty isn't it? I love this, and its nice to have a neutral holo that could be used in place of silver!

Gamma
2 coat(s)

A glowing pink jelly nail polish with purple/blue/indigo shifting iridescent flakies and blue

shimmer. 

Look at that purple flash! The flakies in this one created that and its gorgeous. I have been super into pinks this summer and this is a stand out! I mean just look how well those flakies glow, yet don't detract from the pink whats ever.

They compliment each other so well and I'm loving it so much! The formula was great and it applied so evenly. I'm so just impressed. Usually with flakie polishes I have to push the flakies back on the nail away from the free edge but not these, they just know where to go!

Nuclear
2 coat(s)

A jelly nail polish with gold/red/green shifting shimmer and gold/orange/green opal micro

glitters. 

Even though in my mind I do think, nope to early for fall anything, I do have to say I love this and think it would be a great fall color or shhh... *whispers* Christmas! Its just a nice shade of green with a fun shimmer combo going on!

Which is why I also have this picture here because I think the golden parts really pop in this shot! Don't you? Plus there are some micro glitters in this polish that glow in certain lights that look really neat. You can only vaguely see that in the photos, but in the video you get some weird hand poses so you can see it! :)

You can kind os see the shape of them here too but not their neat sheen they add to the polish! Anyhoo, the formula was so great and easy to work with. Overall I am just very impressed with this polish and think they all have great formulas and each polish is so unique and different which makes for a fun collection!
