Polished by KPT Cosmic XOdus Part 1 Collection Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

I have quite a collection to show you today!  This 10 piece collection by Polished by KPT is a great mix of holos, thermals and a ton of sparkle!  This is Part 1 of the Cosmic XOdus collection, and after this, I can’t wait to see Part 2!

We will start off with the thermals in the collection.

Mars Escapade

Mars Escapade Cold

Mars Escapade is my favorite of the 3 thermals.  Mars Escapade is a deep purple with blue undertone base, this thermal transitions to a stunning light reddish orange when warm. It is filled with red, rose pink, and green micro color shifting shimmers. When view at an angle in warm transitioning, there is a subtle red copper color. I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

A Dream Within A Dream

A Dream Within A Dream Cold

A Dream Within A Dream is a bold magenta with red undertone thermal nail polish when cold and transitions to a soft milky lilac when warm. It is filled with violet, purple, and blue micro color shifting shimmers.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Vacay 2 Venus

Vacay 2 Venus

Vacay 2 Venus is a clear base packed with multidimensional rose pink, silver, and rainbow holographic micro glitters and fine silver holographic glitter for added sparkle.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos, but you can also use just 1 coat over another shade as a glitter top coat.

The glitter is very fine, so you only need 1 coat of top coat to smooth it over.

Bleeding Stars

Bleeding Stars

Bleeding Stars is my favorite of the collection.  Bleeding Stars is a clear base packed with multidimensional red copper, silver, and rainbow holographic glitters as well as ultra fine micro silver holographic shimmers.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos, but like Vacay 2 Venus, it can also be used over another shade as a glitter top coat.

Light-Years

Light Years

Light-Years is a clear base backed with silver holographic micro glitter AND silver holographic micro bar glitter.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos, and it’s a sparkler.  I love it!  I’m usually not a bar glitter fan, but these are so fine you can’t even tell they are really there.

Nalani

Nalani

Nalani is a rich navy blue jelly base filled with blue and purple color shifting shimmers and silver and rainbow holographic glitters.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

These are truly gorgeous and different even if I have similar colors the combination of glitters, thermals, etc makes them a hard pick to narrow down….can’t wait to see part two!!

Thanks for the beautiful swatches!
