Swatches | Holiday 2017 Collection by Cirque Colors

By SloppySwatches in Cirque Colors, Swatches on November 5, 2017

Hey you guys, it’s that time of year again! Today I have a look at the Cirque Colors Holiday 2017 collection that is available for preorder now through November 17, 2017. I know I am extremely excited about the re-release of Coronation with this collection so be sure to sign up for restock notifications! Cirque is also giving away 5 full sets so be sure to enter that here. This collection was sent to me for review and I will jump right in!

CIPrimaBottle — Prima Donna shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

First up is Prima Donna, a new limited edition thermal that is described as a “temperature-sensitive metallic foil that changes to rose gold when cold and white gold when warm.” This polish has a gorgeous formula that is completely opaque in 1-2 coats and has a gorgeous delicate shift from rose gold to a super light peach! I had a good amount of shift even on my shorties! This polish does dry down matte but 1 coat of your favorite glossy topcoat brings out all the shimmer again!

CIPrimaSun — Prima Donna at an angle in direct sunlight.

CIRioBottle — Rioja shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

This is Rioja, an undeniable top pick for me and best described as a “brilliant ruby red holographic.” This deep stunning red is a true red holographic and what I like to call a perfect speedboat red! It covers perfectly in 2 easy coats and I could just live in it for the rest of my natural life!

CIWinterBottle — Winter Bloom shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

This is Winter Bloom, a limited edition back for the holidays and best described as a “mint green with sparkling holographic flakes.” This polish has a stunning mint green jelly base with a ton of scattered holographic flakes and was completely opaque in 2 coats. Winter Bloom also has a really delicate purple shimmer that is supr subtle on the nail.

CiHyBottle — Hygge shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.

This is Hygge, a limited edition polish that is described as a “sheer blue with a copper pearlescent sheen.” The copper pearl shimmer in this polish is gorgeously intense and so sweet on this light blue base! Hygge was completely opaque for me in 2 coats but you may need 3 depending on application.

CIBlueBottle — Glacier Blue shown at 1 coat under artificial lighting.

Next up is Glacier Blue, a limited edition “temperature-sensitive metallic foil that changes to deep cornflower blue when cold and pale silver-blue when warm.” The formula on this thermal is amazing and I only need 1 careful coat for full opacity! Even at 1 coat this polish was still nice and temperature sensitive and showed up well even on my shorties!

CIcORAbOTTLE — Coronation shown at 3 coats under artificial lighting.

Last up is the much awaited and lemming-ed Coronation! This polish is described as a “violet jelly with multi-dimensional shimmer” and although it is currently sold out it will be returning in December!
