Whew, ok so today I have for you all the first of two posts on the ellagee Laule'a collection. Let me tell you a little about this collection, from my point of view.
The last two collections Laura from ellagee came out with I liked, but I wasn't crazy over the top for them. So I knew when she announced she was doing a collection based on Hawaii I was in trouble. I started saving money back as soon as I heard the whispers. Then she released these. And I bought 7 of 8. Sigh. I knew it was coming. I was prepared. However I'm very quickly running out of room for all my polish, and Laura isn't helping :-) !!
Onto the beauties!!
This is Pua Melia. It is my favorite of all 7 I bought. Holy smokes, I LOVE this polish! It is everything a summery Hawaiian polish should be! It's got yellow and orange and pink and iridescent glitters with a white crelly base. CRELLY. PINK GLITTER. I'm in love!! Plus the formula is awesome and it wears so well!
Next up is Golden Sands of Waikiki. This was the sleeper of the group. I wasn't going to buy it, then I thought oh hell, I'm already buying 6 what's one more? Plus I don't have this particular shade of golden brown shimmer *wink* *wink* I was totally blown away! I didn't expect to like it, but I actually LOVED it! The color is so beautiful and looks so pretty with my skin tone! Formula on this one is a little streaky and it dried to a powdery like finish without topcoat. I have never bought an indie shimmer polish before though so that may be par for the course. These shimmers don't last as long as other ellagee polishes I have, and your brush strokes do kind of show if you're not careful! Also, this was a 3 coater for me.
Last for this post is Haleakala Sunrise. I can't pronounce it, but it must be Hawaiian for GORGEOUS!!! This was my #2 fave of the group. I am a sucker for pinks, and this one did not disappoint. In fact I'm still trying to figure out how to wear it again already without you guys figuring out I'm wearing it again. And again. And again :-) Formula on this one was a little streaky and thin and it was also a 3 coater, but OMG I love the color so much I didn't care! It also dried to a powdery like finish without topcoat.
Stay tuned for installment #2 of the Laule'a collection coming on Friday!!
