Sea Lore Spring Seas Collection

* I received the following products for my honest review by Sea Lore.

I have a brand new spring collection by Sea Lore to review for you today. If you remember, I reviewed Sea Lore's Triton's Daughters collection last summer and absolutely loved them! Sea Lore creates some beautiful glitter/shimmer combinations that really stand out. The Spring Seas Collection did not disappoint. Note: I will be using Sea Lore's descriptions for these polishes.

 L-R:
Popping Parrotfish, Jumping Jellyfish, Springing Seahorse, Leaping Lyretail, and Dancing Discus

Popping Parrotfish
Popping Parrotfish is a light mint creme with a sparkling green base and a glitter rainbow! (3 coats on its own)

Jumping Jellyfish over Sinful Colors Fly Away
Jumping Jellyfish is a cerulean blue jelly with tiny light blue glitters and blue circle glitter. (2 coats over base)

Springing Seahorse over Sinful Colors Verbena
Springing Seahorse is a sparkling purple iridescent base with various shades of purple glitters. (2 coats over base)

Leaping Lyretail over Sinful Colors Folly
Leaping Lyretail is a hot pink jelly with white squares, yellow and pink hexes and hot pink circle glitter. (2 coats over base)

Dancing Discus over Color Club Blue-Ming
Dancing Discus is a sheer soft peach with a shifting blue violet glow. She has various sizes of iridescent hexes, blue green squares and tiny golden glitters. (2 coats over base).

Colors & Finishes: I love the variety of colors and finishes with this collection. My favorite thing Sea Lore does is add special shimmers or iridescence to the bases of the polishes that make them extra special. These polishes are far from flat and boring! I find it very hard to choose favorites here. I have to say Dancing Discus is really something unique and special though!

Formula: The formula on these was easy to work with and apply. I did not have any noticeable troubles with any of these. The glitters spread evenly and nicely. I think some of these I used over bases could be build up to wear opaque, but it is always my preference with sheerer bases to layer them.

Price: These polishes can be purchased for $10.00 for 15ml size or $5.50 for 7.5ml size on the Sea Lore website.

Overall: I really enjoyed this collection. The finishes are beautiful and unique, and the formula was on par too!

My Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Sea Lore: Triton's Daughters Collection

I am very excited to show these Sea Lore polishes to you today. This is a new indie brand out there. I have to say that the theme of this collection like Steph's Disney + nail polish addicts idea of perfection. I've mentioned this throughout my blog since the beginning that The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie ever. I was so psyched to see Sea Lore did a collection themed based off of Triton's daughters. I am over the moon! The collection theme is clearly great, but the polishes themselves are just as great too.

This is the collection.


L-R:
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana, & Ariel

Aquata over Sally Hansen Pacific Blue


Aquata is a deep sea blue jelly base with blue shimmer and blue iridescent flakies.

Andrina over OPI Do You Lilac It?


Andrina is a deep sea urchin purple jelly base with purple hex glitters and purple shimmer.

Arista over Revlon Raven Red


Arista is a deep crimson jelly polish with red holo hexes and red shimmer.

Attina over Milani White on the Spot


Attina is a coral jelly polish with golden shimmer and golden iridescent flakies.

Adella over Sinful Colors Olympia


Adella is a seahorse yellow jelly base with mint green hexes, gold glitter, and golden shimmer.

Alana over Orly Lollipop


Alana is a sea anemone pink jelly polish with rose colored hexes and rose shimmer.

Ariel over Orly Frisky


Ariel is a bright turquoise jelly base with red squares, purple hexes, green glitter, and green shimmer.

I absolutely adore this collection. It is adorable and the colors are great. The colors are 100% reflective of Triton's daughters. These are definitely meant to be top coats. I think you could achieve opacity with these in 4 coats, less with Aquata and Arista, but a base really brings out these polishes.

What really stood out to me about Sea Lore and these polishes is how thoughtful they were. These are not just chunky glitters in base, these have the addition of micro shimmers and flakies. This gives these polishes so much dimension and depth. I am so impressed with this because it would be easy to just put glitter in this an call it day. They would still be pretty, but that extra element really makes these polishes special. These were also easy to work with and apply.

You can order Triton's Daughters collection on Sea Lore's website. The 15ml sizes are $10.00 each and the 7.5ml sizes are $5.50. If I had to choose my favorites I'd have to go with Ariel, Attina, Adella, and Alana. You can also follow Sea Lore through their blog and Facebook.
