Ellison's Organics: The Doctor Who Collection - Swatches and Review

*These products are Cruelty Free 



Happy Labor Day! Today I have a new collection from Ellison's Organics to show you and it's inspired by one of my favorite things! Doctor Who!

Ellison's Organics
Doctor Who Collection



I have LOTS of thoughts on Doctor Who. Especially right now with the new Doctor but I'll save most of them for a separate post because people tend to get, um...argumentative? I will say that I LOVE Capaldi and I'm hoping for a more Eccleston-esque Doctor. Darker, but still funny. Less human, less knowable but hopefully not like the first few Hartnell episodes.

I'm excited for next week and going back into the past with Robin Hood. I'm hoping they save the year 2 billion and black holes and such for later. Give me Shakespeare and Van Gogh and Charles Dickens and Agatha Christie in the past and let us get to know him  "in familiar territory."

I realize that a "tapestry" is being woven as we go, but let each episode be enjoyable on its own too please!

Okay that's enough - on to the pretty polish!


Continued after the jump...




All of Time and Space is a blue to purple duo-chrome with loads of blue and violet shimmer and small metallic holo glitters. The formula was smooth and easy and I had no issues. It does have a bit of a frosty finish so you will have some brush strokes. I've used two coats and no top coat for the photos.

Allons-y is a sky blue base with lots of green/green-gold shimmer so you get the light playing off it it making it mostly a bright chartreuse green-gold with the blue playing peek-a-boo around the edges. I really quite liked this one! I used two coats and no top coat for the photos. You still get some brush strokes in this one as well.

Bigger on the Inside is a TARDIS blue jelly polish. The color is bright and beautiful. But it's a jelly so it's sheer and buildable. I've used 3 coats of this one and still have VNL (visible nail line) as is typical with jellies. I can't wait to see how this one does in a "jelly sandwich!" No top coat for the photos. It's so squishy!

Bowties are Cool is a brown shimmer polish with gold shimmer and micro-flakes. Great formula, 2 coats and no top coat for the photos. No brush strokes with this one at all.

Lots of Planets Have a North is a gunmetal grey shimmer polish with blue and silver shimmer and I'm not entirely sure but I think I see some violet shimmer as well. Smooth and easy application. Two coats and no top coat for the photos. Some brush strokes.

Weeping Angels is a silver shimmer polish with silver and blue shimmer. I used 3 coats for this one and no top coat for the photos. Some brush strokes.

You Look Beautiful, Dalek is one of those great golden olive-green shades you either love or hate. I'm in the "love group" because I love those muddled golds and swampy greens. It's full of gold, green and maybe copper shimmer. Two coats and no top coat for the photos.  Minimal brush strokes.

And the two glitters in the collection...

Sonic Screwdriver is a clear-based glitter topper with green shards in varying sizes along with black and silver hexes and lots of metallic holographic micro-glitter. Shown here with 2 light coats over You Look Beautiful, Dalek. One coat of top coat for the photos.

Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey is a clear-based glitter polish with silver stars, various shapes and sizes of black glitter, iridescent hexes and shards and holographic micro-glitters. One coat over Weeping Angels and one coat of top coat for the photos.

  5. Allons-y got me in stitches 'cause it reminds me of a remix video I've found on YouTube and I keep on hearing David Tennant saying it in my hears :D

    I'm in love with Lots of Planets Have a North here, yet the jelly blue is amazing <3
