I have 2 new polishes from Alter Ego Nail Enamel to show you all tonight! This is actually my first time using Alter Ego (I do have a third polish from a swap I did with the creator that I still need to wear!) and I waited patiently for my package while I saw ladies like Adventures In Acetone post AMAZING swatches of other new colors by Cynthia!
My package arrived and I jumped right in!
Savor’s Strawberrys
Before anyone says it – she IS aware that it should be ‘Strawberries’ but she couldn’t fit it on the label unless she made the font smaller, but then it was so small it was unreadable. So moving on (because I know someone was going to point it out) Savor’s Strawberrys is a orange leaning red matte base with small black glitters throughout. Exactly like a strawberry! I used 2 coats for this photo!
With Top Coat
I REALLY love this one with top coat. It’s so pretty! Nick even took notice of it and said he liked it.
Taupiarist
This is my favorite of the two! Taupiarist is a light taupe matte base with a VERY fine silver holographic shimmer throughout. The holo is so subtle in this polish which makes it a perfect for all occasions type polish! In normal lighting you see the shimmer…
Artificial Lighting
But in brighter lighting you see the holo come out. It isn’t a loud, in-your-face holographic. But it’s there and it’s really pretty! I used 3 coats for this photo.
With Top Coat
I think I like Taupiarist better in it’s matte state… but its pretty top coated too. Such a toss up!
With Top Coat in Artificial Lighting
See how pretty! If you want an office safe polish, but still get that holo flash… this is perfect!
For my first experience with Alter Ego… I’m happy! Both polishes are unique to my collection, applied well, dried fast and look great with and without top coat!

I love Taupiarist. But I think I like it better with a top coat. Gorgeous swatches!
