Hello there and welcome back! Hope you all had a nice weekend, and are ready for the week. I actually love a Monday. I know thats not common but oh well! Today I am super excited to be sharing swatched of the new Fall Matte collection from Stella Chroma which consists of 6 really gorgeous polishes that are releasing on the first day of Fall! Which believe it or not, is this upcoming Saturday.
You Blockhead!
3 Coats
A yellow with a golden shimmer.
Since this is a matte collection I will be showing you each polish in matte, its natural state, and then with a top coat because y'all know me! The formula on this one is the thinnest of the collection so it does need built up a bit more.
On 3 coats I was happy with the color and coverage so I would say it needs about 3 coats. Its such a happy yellow.
You can really see the shimmer in the macro its such a pretty yellow. So the name, do you get the reference!? Its from Charlie Brown. Also that might be a hint! ;)
Pumpkin Everything
2 Coats
A orange with a green/gold shimmer shift.
This is the most perfect shimmery pumpkin color. The formula was great and covered perfectly with 2 coats and the shimmer just makes it glow.
I feel like the top coat really makes this and the shimmer really pops. Its perfect for fall and or Halloween.
And great even if you aren't a orange lover because its a nice shade/tone. Not too bright but not too dull or drab. All around its just great!
Flannel & Boots
2 Coats
A teal with silver flakies.
I so love a nice teal, and this one is very nice and lovely. I even like it matte can you believe it?! It just looks neat. This one also have a very formula and covers completely in two coats.
Now here it is shiny and whoa! Just look at it, isn't that stunning. The little flakies really make it different and unique and it just a cozy looking polish.
Like being all curled up in a fuzzy blanket thats this color just comes to mind! Ha, yet also really hard to imagine considering yesterday our city held the hottest football game in NFL history.
Gala
2 Coats
A red with purple and red flakie like shimmer.
Ok so the blob shot came of much darker than it should of. Not sure why, but... The nail pics are spot on! Its such a nice vibrant apple skin red and then the shimmer that pops in the shiny version is just amazing.
You can kind of see it here but the Macro shows it the best. Its just such a lovely red and has a great formula.
There! See the purple! Its so pretty, and its just a perfect polish for fall. I could even see this carrying over to *shhhhh* Christmas!
Cinnamon & Spice
2 Coats
A brown with a pink shimmer as well as a golden shimmer.
The formula on this one is great! Also this polish is just beautiful! Like this might be the most beautiful brown that I have ever worn, and would seek out to wear.
It has a LOVELY pink shimmer in it that really lights up and is so prominent on the nails.
I just cant get over the shimmer and the pink in the brown! Its just so lovely!
Perseids
2 Coats
A deep blue jelly with a slivery holo small flakie.
This is such a neat polish. So this one is is called Perseids which is the name of a meteor shower which is so fitting. Its jelly polish with silver flakies and as you get your 2 coats on it builds up really nicely.
Each coat creates more depth and helps the flakies in the background turn into different intensities in colors leaving it looking like starts in the sky.
Can't you see it being like the night sky! Its so pretty!
Now how about some art!
So as you may of already guessed, I have some nail art for you! In this case we have some Charlie Brown nail art. After making the You Blockhead connection I had to do nail art to go with.
All freehanded as usual with acrylic paint and then also had to mix a Charlie Brown Skin Tone color.
Also since Pumpkin Everything was just asking to be turned into a Halloween mani, so I did just that. A Lil Jack-o-Lantern face with acrylic paint, and then also some free handed stripes because stripes are always a good idea when you aren't sure what to put on the next nail!
Now here is the swatch video in case you are interested in seeing the polishes in action! These will be releasing September 22nd which is Saturday, AKA the first day of fall and will be available at noon EST. They will each be $12 individually or you will be able to get the collection set. The Collection set will only $64 until October 5th. Also a part of the proceeds will be donated too Girls Who Code.
Well thats it! I hope you all enjoyed this, and have picked out some faves! Let me know in the comments which one you like the most!
