Sayuri Otherwordly Collection

I have five beautiful new release polishes to share today, these are a part of their new collection, the Otherwordly Collection. They are available now!. Price: $9.95 each. Holos are $10.95 the others are $9.95. Whole collex is $45.95. You can purchase and browse Sayuri polishes on their website, or follow on their Facebook page to read the latest news.

This first polish is Umbra. I am seriously in love with this polish. there is just something about the colour, the flakies and the scattered holo that look so right together. The colour is just gorgeous and  a tad unique to what I have in my collection, it is a dusty burgundy. I may have made up a colour then lol but I'm sure you understand what I mean. Application was a breeze and I am wearing two thin cots with top coat.

This polish Dark Intent has a wow factor. Not only is it a beautiful dark blue but as you move your nails around you will see it shift to a violet colour. I have a weakness for duochromes and a polish like these proves just why I do. The formula is excellent and I am wearing three thin coats with top coat.

Now if you've been wondering why I love the others so much and haven't declared them my favourite this polish Magick Solace is why. As a green lover this polish is a must have. Not only do you have the gorgeous forest green it flashes, olive green, teal and gold at different angles. This polish really won me over and I love it. Again application and formula were excellent and I am wearing three thin coats with top coat.

This deep orange is another unique addition to my collection. The colour is fabulous and with the addition of copper flakies and colour shifting black to blue flakies it is special. It has a holographic finish that lights up in the sun. It's a limited edition polish so grab one soon. I am wearing three coats and top coat

Last but not least is Mystic Souls another holo finish polish in a grey to blue almost stonewash denim colour. The colours you can see peeking through the polish are blue and violet flakies with scattered holo throughout. Another fantastic polish with a great formula.

That's the end of the collection, every polish was a dream to work with as the formula is spot on.

These polishes were sent to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please note computer monitors may vary in colour display.

Five New Releases form Sayuri's Beyond The Shadows Collection

artificial lighting

I have five beautiful new release polishes to share today, these are a part of their new collection, Beyond the Shadows. They are available from Wednesday 30th April, 7:30pm AEST. Price: $9.95 each. Holos are $10.95 (this includes Love's Lustre, State of Radiance, and Kaleidoscopic). Whole collex is $79.95. You can purchase and browse Sayuri polishes on their website, or follow on Facebook to read the latest news.

 The creative genius, Anthea, the face behind the Sayuri brand explains the collection inspiration.

The Beyond The Shadows collection was inspired by the different looks that many colours possess when exposed to sunlight versus the shadows. Each polish contains an effect or glitter that will really pop in the sunlight, and each name relates to the light in some way. Colour inspiration was drawn predominantly from Pantone’s fashion colours for 2014. The collection contains 9 polishes in total

I have 5 of the 9 to show you today. I did have problems with the weather so these photos are a mix of artificial and natural light to show you the true colours and features of the polishes.

First up is this beautiful blue/teal glitter crelly named Refraction. The base is more teal than the artificial lighting photos show, so I managed to capture some in natural light. This polish is full of glitter, there are deep blue small hexes, tiny holo silver hexes, with a holo shimmer running through the polish. Now while it's full of glitter it applies like a dream. It was simply a matter of painting two coats on. The dry time was great and the glitter required no fishing, the right amount came out on the brush every time.I also love that it only required one coat of top coat to make it smooth and glossy. So while the glitter is plentiful it didn't affect application at all.

WOWZERS. The second polish today is a stunner! This is State of Radiance, such an appropriate name :). The colour is beautiful, it's a pink berry red that looks more red in some lights and a hint of deep pink in others. Application was simple and the formula just wonderful. I am wearing three thin coats, I have a little visible nail line but that is very common in red polishes. As you can see it isn't even that noticeable in the photos. I love that this polish looks pretty in the shade and then it hits the sun and again, sorry, but wowzers! It's just gorgeous and sparkly. I love it!

Polish number 3 is much more subtle than State of Radiance but equally as beautiful. If you've been reading here awhile you'd know I love soft feminine neutral polishes. This polish named Archaic Light definitely fulfils my love of that type of polish. With a nude creme base it has subtle gold flakes, bronze glitter and small lavender flakes. All subtle but the colours pop enough to make it pretty and feminine. Application was again flawless and as easy as painting a coat on, allowing it to dry and painting another coat one. One coat of top coat and again it had a smooth and glossy finish. I know I will be wearing this one a lot.

Number 4 is a topper named Rainbow Shards. I don't often wear or purchase toppers but this one is gorgeous. I am wearing one thin coat over Zoya Pinta and honestly it's like I've dipped my nails in opal dust. The colours the iridescent shards reflect are stunning and really like the colours of an opal. Sometimes I find that toppers completely over power the polish underneath but Rainbow Shards enhances it, adding depth to a plain creme polish. The formula was excellent.

The last one I have to share today is Charmed Aurora. This is a pretty baby soft blue creme polish with a pink-red shimmer running through it. The shimmer is really visible on the nail which I love but completely camera shy in artificial light and only just hinted at the full effect in natural light. As a pastel creme application was flawless and I am wearing just two coats. There were no streaking issues and the shimmer really enhances the blue. A great creme polish with a little something extra, I love it!

I hope you've enjoyed a look into Sayuri's Beyond the Shadows Collection.

Sayuri - Fairy Kei

I'm happy to introduce you to a new Australian Indie brand Sayuri. It's always great to see another Australian brand and it's even more exciting that Sayuri offers a unique range of polishes.

Today I'm showcasing my personal favourite Fairy Kei. If you've read here awhile my favourite after green nail polish  is pastels. I love them and while some may only associate them with spring or Easter I think every day can be a pastel day. Fairy Kei is the perfect glitter for pastel fans.

In a translucent lilac base Fairy Kei has matte pink, purple and light blue hexes with small purple glitter throughout. Here I have used 2 coats over Cult Nails Princess. Fairy Kei applied well, as with all glitters it's best to turn them upside down 10 minutes before use to have full advantage of all the glorious glitters within. I love Fairy Kei, it's exciting to have a unique polish and the mix of matte glitters are exquisite, it is so girly with an ethereal feeling.

For my ring finger I used Essie She's Picture Perfect and stamped with Color Club holo Blue Heaven.

You can find Sayuri here and at 9.95 a bottle it's very reasonable for such a unique polish.
