Hey y’all! Today I have a swatch and review of the “Middle Of Winter” collection releasing this Saturday February 25th from Tux Polish! This collection consists of 3 paint and stamp cremes that will retail for $9.50 each and 3 holographic polishes that will retail for $10. These polishes were sent to me for review and I have a quick nail art look following the swatches!

orangebottle — Orange You Ready For Spring? shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

orangebottom — Orange You Ready For Spring? at an angle under artificial lighting.

First up is one of the gorgeous holo finish polishes, Orange You Ready For Spring? which is described as a “coral-y holo with lots of orange glitter, larger orange holo glitter, and some blue flakies.”It is shown here at 2 easy coats, this polish has amazing coverage and could possibly be a one coater depending on application.

earmuffbottle — Ear Muffs and Mittens shown at 1 coat under artificial lighting.

Next up is the first of the creme polishes, Ear Muffs and Mittens. This polish is my number 1 top pick and is described as a “mauve creme” with hints of gold shimmer. Ear Muffs and Mittens has a seriously opaque and easy to use formula, I only need 1 coat for full opacity! You would never be able to tell from application but this polish dries down deliciously matte!

springbottle — Spring Green Dreams shown at 1 coat under artificial lighting.

springbottom — Spring Green Dreams at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is another one of the creme finish polishes, Spring Green Dreams! This polish is described as an “olive-y spring green creme” and had a nice and easy 1 coat formula. Spring Green Dreams did self level a little more slowly than Ear Muffs and Mittens did but it was still really easy to use!

winterbottle — Winter Skies shown at 1 coat under artificial lighting.

winterbottom — Winter Skies at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next is Winter Skies, the last of the creme polishes and another of my top picks! Winter Skies is descried as a “grey creme with a little bit of scattered holo throughout.” This is a very deep and vampy grey that retains some of that subtle sparkle even in it’s matte state! It does have a bit of a thicker formula but still really easy to apply and opaque in just 1 coat.

icevioletbottle — Ice Violet shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

icevioletbottom — Ice Violet at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next is Ice Violet which is described as a “blueish-violet holo full of holographic flakies, larger purple glitter, and purple holo glitter.” This polish has a beautiful almost jelly base filled with all of those holographic glitters that built up perfectly for me in 2 coats! It does dry down demi matte but a good topcoat smooths the finish right out and accentuates all of that lovely glitter.

mowbottle — Middle of Winter shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

mowbottom — Middle of Winter at an angle under artificial lighting.

Lastly today I have the collection’s namesake, Middle Of Winter, which is described as a “deep berry holo/jelly holo with pink micro glitter and flakies.” This polish is another of my top picks, I love the warmth that the pink flakes add to the finish and all of that holo in the sun is just incredible! I had nice coverage at 1 coat and full opacity at 2.

For my nail art I did a super easy and quick drag art mani, I really had no idea what I was going for but I do love both the color combination here and the outcome! It almost reminds me of a zebra stripe pattern and I’m digging it. These were done using a base of Ear Muffs and Mittens with drops of Winter Skies and Middle Of Winter.
