Mentality Nail Polish The Metallics Collection Swatches and Review

***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.

Happy Sunday!  Today I will be showing you a fairly newer Indie Polish line called Mentality Nail Polish.  This is her first and so far only collection she has available, BUT she is working on a new collection!

Mentality Nail Polish is a husband and wife team that work out of their home to bring you affordable nail polish.  They mean that too because this is some of the lower priced (not lower quality) Indie polish that I’ve seen in awhile!  The Metallics collection is a 5 piece set that all dries to a suede like finish and they are really pretty!

Lets get started!

Crave:

Crave is described as a light purple with gold and blue undertones and gold flakes.  This is the only one that I felt the description didn’t sound right.  In the bottle, it is correct – but when I put it on it was more peach colored with a lilac sheen in certain lighting.  Beautiful either way.  I used 2 coats for this.  Dry time was fast and I added a top coat for some added shine since they dry to a suede like finish.  This is a great nude tone!

Desire:

Desire is described as a golden orange with gold undertones and flake.  I really love this one.  It’s not orange orange, it definitely leans more golden and I think that’s why it works for me.  I have a lot of trouble pulling off orange shades.  I used 2 coats and a top coat for this mani.

Covet:

Covet is described as a blue green with gold undertones and flakes.  Another one I really liked!  I’m not a green fan, but the gold flakes made this more wearable for me.  I used 2 coats and a top coat!

Envy:

Envy is described as  a bright yellow green with gold undertones and flakes.  This is a great spring color!  Bright and vibrant!  I used 2 coats and a top coat for this mani.

Lust:

Lust has already been viewed on my blog.  I used this for my last Go Pink Wednesday post and I got a lot of compliments on it.  Lust is described as a coppery red with gold undertones and flake.  I will need to purchase a full size bottle of this one!  I used 2 coats and a top coat.  Here is another photo of it from my Go Pink Wednesday post as well!

As I said earlier, Mentality Nail Polish is a more afforable indie polish than most:

Full Size Polish: $6.00 for a 15 ml bottle

Full mini polish set:  $10.00

I love that you can get the full set of The Metallics Collection for only $10.00 and it’s sort of a ‘Try Before You Buy” the full size polishes.

Mentality Nail Polishes are 3 Free and each bottle has 2 stainless steel mixing balls.

I really loved The Metallics Collection, and for those of you who aren’t into “Glitter Bombs” this is perfect!
