GlitterDaze Back To Rad Collection Part 2 Swatches & Review

I'm back today with the second half of the GlitterDaze Back to Rad collection! I posted the first six yesterday here, so here are the remaining seven shades. This half is on the darker side and includes some glitter/shimmer polishes. In case you missed it, the inspiration for this collection is the 90's era, which I grew up (in part) in!

Freak Of Nature is a deep muted mossy green crelly. This was way more sheer than the lighter colors in the first half that I posted yesterday. I needed three coats for full opacity. This is quite dark, looking almost black in lower lights. I still call my siblings freaks of nature sometimes, it's such a sick diss!

You've Got Mail is a dark slate blue crelly. You've Got Mail was such a cute romantic movie, and this is also a great catch phrase for the rise of technology in the 90's. This has almost the same formula as Freak of Nature, but was a little more opaque so I only needed two coats.

Y2K has a sparkly gold base with holographic silver shimmer and metallic multicolored shifty flakes. This had a thinner consistency but was not difficult to use. A little sheer at first, but I used a thicker second coat and it covered completely. You may need three depending on your application style. This is way more sparkly in person than I could capture. If you lived in the 90's, you probably remember the Y2K hubbub. So silly to think about now huh!

Bomb Dot Com is a chocolate brown with a crelly formula. This was the ultimate catch phrase in the 90's, but I still say it sometimes because I'm super cool. I had no trouble with this one and it was opaque in two coats.

Heroin Chic has a clear base filled with platinum shards, holographic shimmer and holographic microflakes. This is one coat over You've Got Mail. I feel like this is a polish I've been looking for but I didn't know it. I love it! The metallic shards show up more in low light while the holo shimmer pops more in bright light.

Lewinsky is a deep muted brick-ish cranberry red crelly, This one was similar to the formula of Freak of Nature, very jelly-like. More thick but also a bit runny, I had some pooling on the edges on some nails. I used two coats here. I do have to say this is kind of a unique shade of red in my collection though, I really like the color.

Boombox is a jet black jelly loaded with silver holographic glitter and shimmer bits. I don't know about you, but my boombox was an essential item growing up! I even had one in my front seat when I got my first car, because it was so old all it had was an AM radio. Be jealous. ;) This applied quite easily and covered in two coats.

All of the solid color polishes dried really shiny, but I always use a top coat even so. The glitter shade may need two coats of top coat for a smooth finish. These are all available now on the GlitterDaze website. The crèmes are $10 each and the shimmers/glitters are $12. How do you like these shades? Which half of the collection are you drawn to most? I loved the brights, but with the colder weather I feel this half is more seasonally apropos.

See you again soon with more polish!

GlitterDaze Back To Rad Collection Part 1 Swatches & Review

Greetings cookies! I have a new collection from indie brand GlitterDaze to share today, it's called Back To Rad. This is a thirteen shade collection inspired by and named for the 90's era! I was born in 1986 so I spent my childhood in the 90's. All these names are taking me back to the good ol' days man! I've got six of the thirteen to show you today, the rest are coming soon!

Away Message is a cool toned heather purple crème. I never really got into using AIM for chatting, but I had always had a good away message anyway haha! This was lovely to apply, opaque in one coat but I used two.

Spice Up Your Life is a medium berry pink crème. I loved the Spice Girls when they first came out, and I love them still. (Remember their movie Spice World??) This was easy to apply with a nice shiny formula. This is two coats.

Dip Baby Dip is a slightly lavender toned pink crème. Did you just start singing the Tootsie Roll song? It gets in my head whenever I read the name of this one haha. The formula on this was a bit thick, but it wasn't difficult to work with. Two coats.

Grunge is a greyed out medium purple crème. The grunge scene was so huge in the 90's, Nirvana is still one of my favorite bands. And who doesn't love a good flannel? Lovely formula, this was opaque in two easy coats.

Mom Jeans is a fabulous azure blue crème. Way better than the high-waisted mom jeans of my childhood, this blue is a fashion DO. Easy to apply and opaque in one coat, but I used two.

No Duh is a dark magenta crème. Duh is one of the words I can remember using the most as an adolescent so I love this one. Easy formula, opaque on one coat but deepens a shade with another layer.
GlitterDaze No Duh

These are available now on the GlitterDaze website. They are priced at $10 each. Are you a 90's kid like me? I love the inspiration behind this collection and was really happy with the formulas. Which is your favorite? I have to pick Mom Jeans! Stay tuned for part two of the collection!
