* I received the following products in exchange for my honest review.

I have 3 of the 6 colors from Cupcake Polish's Luau Collection that was released yesterday! I'm definitely going to be needing the other 3 because this collection is gorgeous! I've been a fan of Cupcake Polish for awhile now and they definitely have some of my favorite holo polishes. Let's get started.

Here Today, Gone To Maui
Here Today, Gone To Maui is a grass green holographic with gold fleck shimmer.

Sand By Me

Collection: Cupcake Polish Luau Collection Summer 2016

Colors: I love this bright and fun colors. I also love the theme of this collection. Cupcake Polish really has a magic touch with holos and these are no exception. They're vibrant  and have their own unique touch with added flecks and shimmers. My favorite of this lot is Here Today, Gone To Maui.

Formula: All of these had excellent smooth and easy to use formulas. I used 2 coats for each of these swatches.

Price: These are $13.00 individually on the Cupcake Polish website

Overall: This is a great collection that I will need to complete. The colors are rich and colorful. The holo effects are vibrant. The formulas are great. I don't have any complaints here. This is a solid collection.

Cupcake Polish Berry Good Looking

Every once in awhile a magical fairy princess unicorn comes down to earth and blesses a polish maker with the power to make one of the most magical polishes of all the land. Sara of Cupcake Polish was one of the fairy princess unicorn blessed makers which resulted in Berry Good Looking. I had my eye on this polish for awhile but never buckled down to get it. Thankfully, it was gifted to me in a recent gift exchange. I don't know why I waited so long.

Berry Good Looking
Berry Good Looking is an intense purple linear holo.

Collection: Cupcake Polish Berry Patch Collection Summer 2015

Color: I was a little worried when I received my bottle because it looked more pink in the bottle than purple. I don't know what magical powers this polish has, but when I applied it to the nail it was undoubtedly purple. It also really comes to life on the nail. It looks just like any other holo in the bottle, but on nail...POW! This is gorgeous shade it's an intensely vibrant purple and the holo factor is one of the strongest I've ever seen.

Formula: This had an excellent and easy to use formula. I used 2 coats above.

Price: This is $13 on Cupcake Polish's website.

Overall: This is a polish every single person who reads this blog needs to own. It is definitely up there in my favorite nail polishes of all time. It's a stunning color and that holo effect is so intense. You need this polish. Buy it now!

Cupcake Polish Imagine

I have another one of the fantastical polishes from Cupcake Polish's Unicorn Collection. This collection is made up of beautiful jelly holo micro-glitters. I'm a suck for glitter so of course I fell in love with these. I love indies doing one-tone glitters these days. There are so many different muti-colored glitters out there, but I when doing manis I may only use those as accent nails. Solid tone glitters I love as full manis.

Imagine
Imagine is a pastel teal jelly with silver holo microglitter.

Collection: Cupcake Polish Unicorn Collection Winter 2016

Color: You can never go wrong with a great teal in my book and this one is great. I love this shade of blue-green and that holo glitter makes this polish magical. This is sparkle city!

Formula: This had a great formula. It applied beautifully and easily. I used 2 coats above.

Price: This is $13.00 on Cupcake Polish's site.

Overall: This is a winning polish. I love the color and the holo glitter. The polishes in this collection including Imagine fit perfectly in a Unicorn themed collection. These colors are magical!

Cupcake Polish Believe

I've mentioned many times how hard it is for me to keep up with indies. I know I'm missing out on many great brands and collections simply because I just don't have time to follow what's going on. Indie purchases usually are very spur of the moment for me. I come across an amazing IG pic of an indie polish and it is an instant love. That's how I was when I saw Cupcake Polish's Unicorn Collection. I knew I was going to need some of those polishes. This is one I picked up.

Believe
Believe is a lavender jelly with lavender and silver holo micro glitters.

Collection: Cupcake Polish Unicorn Collection Winter 2016

Color: These are the type of glitters I love and do not see often. I love one tone opaque glitters. This is an absolute stunner. I love lavender shades and that holo glitter is to die for. This glitter is even more glittery in person than it is in photos. It's usually the other way around with other indies I've experienced. Cupcake Polish never has failed me with sparkle that's for sure!

Formula: This is an excellent opaque and easy to use formula. I used coats above.

Price: This is $13 on the Cupcake Polish site.

Overall: This polishes are well worth the hype and the admiration that's for sure. This is probably one of the most sparkly polishes I own. I love this beautiful shade of purple, and that holo micro glitter is heaven. This is a stunner!

Cupcake Polish Folies Bergere

I have a Cupcake Polish to share with you today. I was introduced to Cupcake Polish last year at Cosmoprof. I quickly discovered how amazing Cupcake Polish does holos! I received 3 of the Las Vegas Showgirls collection to review, and those were so amazing I had to purchase the rest of the collection. This is one of the colors I purchased.

Folies Bergere
Folies Bergere is a bright cool-toned pink holo with silver flakies and holographic microglitter.

Collection: Cupcake Polish Las Vegas Showgirls Summer 2015

Color: This is an amazing pink holo. I love pink polishes, but they get kind of neglected these days. A great pink is hard to find in a see of "been there,done that" pinks. This pink is a showstopper. I love the current trend in spicing up holos. Let's face it holos are everywhere now, but adding in the silver flakies and holographic glitter really amps these up.

Formula: Excellent and easy to use formula. This applied evenly and smoothly in 2 coats.

Price: This is $13 on Cupcake Polish's website.

Overall: I love Folies Bergere. This is beautiful bright pink polish with so many great holo elements. The formula is great and I don't have much else to add.

Cupcake Polish Las Vegas Showgirls Collection (3 of 5)

*The following products were provided in exchange for my honest review.

I have a collection to show you today that has my name all over it. No, it really doesn't have my name all over it, nor does it have anything to do with me. The reason I say that though is that these types of colors are what I'm all about when it comes to nail polish. They are sparkletastic and holorific and everything in between.

This is the Cupcake Polish Las Vegas Showgirls collection. This collection releases tomorrow 8/1!  These are some other beauties I received in Las Vegas during Cosmprof. I've been stalking Cupcake Polish on social media for awhile. Sara of Cupcake Polish is a true talent, and I've always oogled over her polishes online. I can now attest to the fact that her polishes in person are just as amazing, if not, more amazing in person!

Copa Girls
Copa Girls is a purple linear holo mixed with silver flakes and holo microglitter.

Jubilee
Jubilee is a silver linear holo mixed with silver flakes and holo microglitter.

Bluebell Girls
Bluebell Girls is a teal linear holo mixed with silver flakes and holo microglitter.

Collection: Cupcake Polish Las Vegas Showgirls Summer 2015

Color: These are all intense and richly pigmented shades. I notice in some other holos (from some other brands) that the intensity of the base color can be dulled when you add the holo magic to them. This isn't the case with these colors at all. They are all very saturated. The holo, silver flakes, and holo microglitter combination in these colors is absolute polish wizardry too.

Formula: These have excellent easy to use and opaque formulas. These applied beautifully without any snags. I used 2 coats per swatch above.

Price: This collection releases tomorrow 8/1 at 11am central time on Cupcake Polish. These polishes are $13.00 each, or you can purchase the entire set for the discounted price of $60.00 if purchase within the first 24 hours of release. You can also use this awesome discount code COSMOPROF2015 for 10% OFF your order through 9/1/15!

Overall: These are true polish masterpieces. I've been really into nail polish for 7 years now. These are some of the best nail polishes I've come across in my nail polish history. They're beautiful and so thoughtfully well made. You definitely need these in your nail polish collection. I highly recommend buying the entire set. There is also a pink and black holo I did not show you. I'll be purchasing those tomorrow! Need I say it? Must have! Go get these!
