Pretty Jelly: Holos and Glitters - Swatch Spam

*These products are Cruelty Free 



I will have the Pretty Jelly Spring/Summer 2014 Collection for you soon, but in the mean time I have swatches of some of their other holos and glitters for you!

Holos and Glitters




There are a lot of photos so we're just going to dive right in.

Continued after the jump...




The 3 holos I have for you all had the same formula and application. Smooth and easy. Two coats and no top coat for the photos on these.


California Chrome (I was SO sad California Chrome didn't win the triple crown!) is a hard shade to describe. It's sort of orange-leaning tan. Linear holo with a pink flash and it reads a wonderful peachy shade in most lighting. It's a warm polish with a cool-leaning shimmer/flash so I think it's wearable on most skin-tones. It even liked mine!

Dragon Breath is a highly pigmented bright fuchsia/magenta with purple/violet flash and an orange/peach arc in the linear holo. Stunning.

Thessalonike is an aqua/teal with a blue flash and a golden arc in the linear holo. There's also a golden flash in some lighting! Bright and beautiful.

The 2 glitters I have are crelly glitter polishes and they both had the same formula and application. The glitters are suspended nicely in the base and come out easily and spread evenly on the nail. No issues. I've used two coats of each with one coat of top coat for the photos.


Lolly Girl is a bright pink jelly/crelly with gold holo, cinnamon, magenta and rose holo glitters in various sizes, along with gold shimmer and micro-flakes. Just check out all the shimmer and micro-flakes in the macro shots!

Mint Choco Chip isa mint crelly with chocolate/copper hexes in medium and small, black triangles and a ton of pink shimmer/micro-flakes.

What do you think of these? Favorites? Well I can't really chose a favorite of the holos. Impossible. But I did get surprised. Mint isn't a good color for me and I don't typically go for crelly glitters personally, although I admire them on others, so I was pretty sure Mint Choco Chip would not work for me but the copper in the glitters and the pink micro-flakes really transformed this shade into something I will wear again! I about fainted!

These polishes are available on Pretty Jelly's site now and they retail for between $10 and $12 for full-sized  bottles. You can also check here for a list of other stocklists where these are available.
