Dollish Polish Super Mario Bros. Part 3

It took me a little while to get the final part of these swatches out.  This Dollish Polish collection was all great formula wise and the glitter applied evenly.  Here are the last three of the set.


This was one coat of 1-UP over two coats of butter LONDON Yummy Mummy, which is an amazing nude.



Above was two coats of Go Luigi! over white.  I just had to fish a little bit to get one of the stars out.

 
 
Finally, two coats of Dino-mite Yoshi over two coats of a neon green, I'm pretty sure it was a Color Club green, but I can't find the notation now.
 
 
The whole collection was really fun and a perfect abstraction of all the Nintendo characters we know and love. 
 
 
Here are Part One and Part Two of my collection review.

Dollish Polish Super Mario Bros Part Two

Here are the next three colors I've swatched from the Dollish Polish Super Mario Bros collection: Toad-ally Awesome, A Peachy Princess and It's A Me, Mario!.

Two coats of Toad-ally Awesome over one coat of Nails Inc Heathrow and theBalm Hot Ticket That's Red-iculous tips 

Toad-ally Awesome has a clear base with matte white glitter in different shapes and sizes combined with yellow, blue and red glitters.  The formula was great and I was able to get a variety of glitters without having to hunt for them.  I wanted to mimic Toad's fleshtone and some of the red spots in his cap with the undercoats here.


Two coats of A Peachy Princess over two coats of China Glaze Sun-Kissed (As you can see my bottle reads "Preachy", but the Dollish Polish site does show "Peachy")

Above is with a matte topcoat

A Peachy Princess has a sheer pink base filled with tons of matte, holographic and metallic pink glitters in lots of different sizes and hues.  I put it over the yellow to reflect Peach's hair.  I love pink glitters and this is one of my favorites in the collection.



 Two coats of It's A Me, Mario! over two coats of Sally Hansen White On


It's A Me Mario has red and blue glitters in different shapes and sizes and holographic stars.  I generally am not a fan of glitter combinations that have stars, hearts or flowers in them, but I wish there were more stars in this polish!  So far that is my only complaint with the collection.  I only fished out one for this manicure.  It's so Nintendo to have the stars so they work great with this and the Luigi polish that you will see soon in the final installment of my Super Mario Bros swatches.

Here is Part One of the Super Mario Bros review with more Dollish Polish information for following and purchasing.

Dollish Polish Super Mario Bros. Collection Part One

I received my first Dollish Polish order this week!  I was prepared to successfully purchase the mini Mario Bros. collection even if that meant setting a 5 a.m. alarm and refreshing Dolly's Big Cartel page every 15 minutes.


This manicure is two coats of China Glaze Liquid Leather and two coats of Wicked Wario.  Wicked Wario is fine matte purple glitter in a clear base with green and yellow glitter and white squares.  After swatching the collection this was the color I was most excited to try out.  The formula was great and it was easy to pick up all the different types of glitter on the brush.  I prefer a heavier coating of glitter, even with a base color and I was satisfied after the second coat.


From antihero to villain, here is The Koopa King.  I love this polish.  Lots of sizes of yellow/gold matte glitters, along with red and green.  There is black bar glitter and holographic diamonds just like the little spikes on Bowser's collar.  This is three coats of The Koopa King over two coats of Nicole by OPI Paparazzi Don't Preach.  Two coats of top coat make the glitter smooth on these.  I really like this combination, I thought the colors would pop on a black undercoat, but I didn't want to lose the black bar glitter.

I will have reviews of the rest of the Super Mario Bros. collection soon.  Dollish Polish can be purchased through their Big Cartel site, on Llarowe, and at Overall Beauty.  Follow Dolly on facebook for updates on when the Super Mario Bros. collection will be available again, as it is currently sold out.  The next Dollish Polish restock of other colors on Big Cartel is in August.
