Pretty and Polished - The Veils - Indie Polish Swatch and Review

Today I have swatches and a review for the newest collection from Pretty & Polished, The Veils. These are 6 thermal polishes that turn clear in warm temperatures. This means that you can layer them over any polish you want to create your own custom thermal effect. More swatches, the review, and video swatches below!
All of these polishes had the same exact formula. They are nice thin jellies, but not watery. One coat makes a lovely light shade, two makes them opaque, and three deepens the color. They dry matte, so all my swatches are with Pretty & Polished Swift Sparkle top coat for shine. You can layer them over any type of polish you want, although the lighter shades will need more coats in order to be fully opaque over darker base colors. The great thing about them is that they aren't thick or hard to use, so even if you have a base coat, two coats of your base color, then 2-3 coats of the Veils, plus top coat, it doesn't feel at all as if you were wearing 6+ coats of polish at all. These also work great for nail art, I tested them for stamping, vinyls, and water marbling. Essentially, they remind me of the OPI Color Paints, which are also meant to be layered over other colors like silver. You can wear these on their own, but keep in mind they will turn clear, revealing your "naked" nail underneath.

Bonus!

They water marble! I love the last macro of the water marble "gradient". These are Sea Lore, Invoke, and New Order over Orly Mirrorball. My middle finger is a double water marble because I ruined it and didn't feel like starting over so I dipped my finger again. I'm a little rusty with these, I haven't done any in a few months.

The Veils will be available Friday July 22 at www.shopprettyandpolished.com.
