Mentality Nail Polish – The Inspired Shimmer Collection – Swatches and Review

by Lisa Heath

***Added 7/23/15 – please read this announcement ***

If you have purchased from Mentality from April 2015 – June 2015 and you are experiencing sensitivity, itchiness or burning, please contact Mentality directly to have your polishes replaced. Their email is [email protected]

I personally did NOT experience any reactions when using these polishes, but many did. Please know I would have been fully transparent had I known the damage that was being caused. Again, please read the announcement above and by clicking on it, you will be taken to Mentality’s initial statement regarding the issue.

I told you before that I had plenty of Mentality swatches to show off and I meant it!

Here are 5 more polishes that make up the Inspired Shimmer Collection.  Each polish supports a different awareness to which the profits will go to.  I love polishes that have a good cause!  I will include which awareness each polish supports in the descriptions.

Triumph:

First up is Triumph!  Triumph is a red toned hot pink shimmer polish that dries to a satin like finish.  I added a glossy top coat for these pics.  There is a slight duochrome shift in this polish that was hard to capture.  At some angles the pink shifts to a golden orange that is beautiful.  I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for this photo.  Profits from Triumph will be donated to support breast cancer awareness.

Patience:

Patience is a hot, vivid orange shimmer polish with golden tones.  I used 2 coats for this manicure and a glossy top coat.  This is a very vibrant and sunny color!  Profits from Patience will be donated to support ADHD awareness.

(I apologize for the “bubbles” that is user error and not the formula.  I didn’t wait long enough for layers to dry and was so tired I didn’t notice them until after photos were done and polish was removed!)

Respect:

Respect is one of my favorite polishes from this collection!  Respect is a beautiful dark purple with pink shimmer throughout.  You can see the pink in each photo and it’s stunning.  I only needed 2 coats for this mani.    Profits from Respect will be donated to support domestic violence awareness.

Innocence:

Innocence is another favorite from the collection!  Innocence is a jaw dropping, rich blue with aqua shimmer throughout.  I used 2 coats for this photo and trust me when I say it looks even better in person.  The profits from Innocence will be donated to support child abuse awareness.

Vigilance:

Vigilance is the 5th and final polish I will be showing you from the Inspired Shimmer Collection.  Vigilance is a deep shimmery aqua polish.  Like the rest, this one dries to a satin like finish.  I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for this photo. Profits from Vigilance will be donated to support post traumatic stress disorder awareness.

As I stated, profits from each bottle of polish sold from these 5 colors will benefit the awareness stated in each review (I highlighted in red).  All 5 colors are stunning and application was flawless.  They all dry down to a satin like finish, but I prefer glossy polish so I added a glossy top coat.

You can find the Inspired Shimmer Collection along with the rest of the Mentality Nail Polish creations on their Big Cartel Shop!
