Now let us get to the polishes, and of course, May the 4th be with you.
Aren’t You A Little Short For A Stormtrooper?
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A white crelly with orange/red shifting shimmer and pink/red shifting flakies
My swatches below are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Based on the scene featuring Princess Leia’s jab at Luke Skywalker (before she knows it’s him of course), this lovely white crelly has stolen my heart. I don’t know if 3 or more coats would allow for more coverage, but 2 coats looked quite perfect to me, so I decided to stop there. I love the glow of the red / orange shimmer, and the flakies are so lovely and delicate that it is almost hard to capture them in photos! They are definitely much easier to see in person, and in lower lighting conditions they just glow. This is a fabulous polish that would work well alone or as the backdrop for some nail art! And I’m normally a glossy top coat person, but oh gosh the matte top coat on this polish is particularly stunning!
Who’s Scruffy Looking?
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: Blue to tan thermal with purple/gold shifting multichrome shimmer and orange/gold shifting flakies.
My swatches below are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Well I am a sucker for blurples so I’m pretty biased about how pretty this polish is! This polish applied very easily and 2 coats appears to give full coverage so I stuck with that instead of 3 coats like a true nerf-herder. I did struggle a little bit with capturing clear photos though, I just couldn’t get my camera to focus on some parts of my nail thanks to the insane amount of shimmer! So I hope these photos are still okay and that you can tell just how pretty this polish is still. 🙂
The shimmer at different angles is blowing my mind, and it transitions quite easily too! I also love how there is a smaller amount of flakies in this one, so that you get a sprinkling of them on your nails.
You Want The Impossible!
Price: $11.00 USD
Description: A nude base with a strong purple/gold multichrome shifting shimmer
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
I’m going to be honest here, I didn’t expect to like this one so much, but after putting it on, I am a huge fan! This may actually be my surprise favorite of the 3. It is such a simple but stunning color! The shimmer is muted but also strong at the same time! It applied super easily and it’s one of those nice simple yet stunning colors that can be worn alone and shines on its own, or under some fun nail art too! Now, while wearing this polish, you must feel the Force around you. Everywhere.
Vegan Lip Balms
I was sent a few different lip balms that will be releasing on the 4th as well and they are fabulous!
I tried all 3 and they apply nicely and soak in nicely for me. And if you *accidentally* taste them, well they actually don’t taste too bad (but seriously…don’t eat them 😛 ).
Price: $4.00 USD each
Ingredients: Cranberry butter, Vegan Beeswax, Shea Butter, Cherry Kernel Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Castor Oil, Sweetener, Vitamin E, Flavor Oil
Size: Net Wt .15 oz / 4g
Below are the 3 that I received:
I’m A Glaze For You – Definitely smells like a donut! A fresh glazed donut…….and now I’m hungry.
Beach Treat – This one smells like vanilla and marshmallows! Almost like Peeps! 😉
(Official scent description – Salt water taffy and marshmallow)
Dew The Dew – Definitely that bubbly fizzy Mt. Dew scent!
This lovely collection is going to make a great addition to my own personal Star Wars polishes that I own, and I hope they make it into your collection too! Comment below with your favorites! And “all 3” is not a wrong answer! 😉
