Do you know one of the reasons that I LOVE indie polish makers? They really listen to their fans/members! This is just one of the many examples of listening to their fans. Cynthia at Alter Ego Body Care Products held a poll in their FB fan group. This entire collection was voted on by the members - color, finish and name of each polish.
Let me introduce the FAN FAVES COLLECTION by Alter Ego.

Fan Faves Collection by Alter Ego Spring 2018
|
My favorite of this collection is Spring Rain. Spring Rain is a Robin's egg blue with scattered holo and a silver shimmer. Polish has the perfect formula. Could be a one coater if you apply a little thicker, but I used two thin coats. Dried a little matte and a tiny bit textured. I used two coats of TC for smoothness. Spring Rain stamps well. All swatches used UNT Ready For Takeoff, Essie Matte About You and OTD QDTC.

Second polish to show yall is Morning Glory. Morning Glory is a lilac pear/satin polish. Good formula but needs a little manipulation to hide brush strokes. This polish is a two coater but I used three thin coats. Stamps good on white and black. One thing I must mention is that if you have any ridges, it will show. I used Alter Ego's Smooth Operator to get my nails smooth. All swatches used Alter Ego Smooth Operator, Essie Matte About You and OTD QDTC.

This amazeball polish is She's A Brickhouse. You know you are totally singing the song now. Brickhouse is an oxblood darkened red with red shimmer and a touch of gold shimmer. Great smooth formula, I used three thin coats. Stamps well on white. Love, love this polish matted. Swoon! Swatches used UNT Ready For Take Off, Essie Matte About You and OTD QDTC.

This is my second runner up for fave of the collection. Here is Petal Perfect. Petal Perfect is a periwinkle sheer polish with blue shimmer. Oh that shimmer is ah-may-zing! This is a perfect topper. My swatches have no undies and shown in three coats. Great formula. Too sheer to stamp. Swatches used UNT Ready For Take Off, Essie Matte About You and OTD QDTC.

Ever look for a silver lining in the clouds? I found one and it's more attainable and I can wear on my fingers!! This is Silver Lining. Silver Lining is a cream colored polish with pewter metallic microglitters and gunmetal microflakes. Great formula with two coats for full opacity. Silver Lining dries matte and I love it that way but used tc in my swatches. Stamps ok on black and white. Swatches used UNT Ready For Takeoff, Essie Matte About You, and OTD QDTC.
