Moonstone Nail Polish - Magic Treats Collection swatches!


Hello everyone!

Today I have some polishes to share with you that are very special to me. I'm going to introduce to you the new Moonstone Nail Polish Magic Treats Collection! Harry Potter has been a huge part of my life for many years now and so of course my first themed collection is inspired by JK Rowling's wizarding world!

The collection is inspired by lollies that you would find in Honeyduke's, the magic sweet shop in Hogsmeade. There are 3 glitter toppers and 3 jelly/crelly shades. 



First is Sugar Quill, an elegant glitter topper with white, iridescent and silver hex with holographic silver micro bars. Inspired by it's namesake, a delicate sugar-spun sweet made into the shape of a quill, this polish will look lovely over any creme but the iridescent glitters will really shine over darker shades.

Swatch shows one coat of Sugar Quill over Rimmel Punk Rock (a slate grey creme), with Seche Vite topcoat.







Next is Levitating Sherbet Balls, inspired by Fizzing Whizbees, sour sherbet balls that cause you to float a few inches above the ground! The second glitter topper in this collection, Levitating Sherbet Balls, is bursting with neon pink, holographic silver, and white stars. It also has an assortment of pink, white, yellow, and iridescent hex with a scattering of pastel yellow dots and a pink/gold shifting glassfleck shimmer throughout.  

Swatch shows one dabbed coat over Chi Chi Don't Pimp My Style (a neon purple creme), with Seche Vite topcoat.






 The next two photos show what Levitating Sherbet Balls looks like with a matte topcoat. I used one coat of Revlon Matte Topcoat. I love how mattifying it changes the way the glassfleck shifting shimmer looks!

The final glitter topper is Licorice Wand, based on licorice wands, obviously! This is packed with silver holographic stars, black squares, an assortment of silver, gunmetal, and holo black hex, with a silver shimmer dust throughout.

Swatches show one dabbed coat over Sinful Colors Endless Blue (a bright blue creme), with Seche Vite topcoat.







The second part of this collection is the jelly/crelly shades!

Acid Pop, inspired by the lollipop that burns a hole in your tongue (sounds fun!), is a yellow-toned apple green crelly with neon green, neon yellow, and white hex with gold dots and a subtle yellow shimmer.

Swatches show 3 coats with Seche Vite topcoat.







Next is Every Flavour Beans, inspired by the famous Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans! This popular wizarding treat is seemingly innocent jellybeans that can be pleasant (think strawberry milkshake or bananna split!) and they can also be horrible (like dirt or tripe). They really do come in every flavour imaginable and this polish reflects that aspect in that it has 15 different coloured hex and circles! The base is a royal purple jelly with a soft gold shimmer throughout.

Swatch shows 3 coats with Seche Vite topcoat.






Last but not least is my personal favourite from this collection, Bluebell Bubblegum! Inspired by Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, a magical bubblegum that produces bluebell coloured bubbles that refuse to pop for days.

It has a bluebell crelly base with a blue shimmer and is filled with large circles in holo silver and ocean blue, as well as some smaller dots, hex, and squares in an assortment of blue, aqua, iridescent glitter. 

The base is slightly more opaque than the usual crelly (so I guess it leans a little to the 'creme' side) and it creates a dreamy kind of soft, 'floaty' (like bubbles, geddit??) effect, rather than being a full on, in your face glitter bomb.

Swatches show 3 coats with Seche Vite topcoat.






The last two photos show Bluebell Bubblegum, mattified with Revlon matte topcoat. I absolutely love how this looks matte!

Ohh, these are all beautiful! I'm not normally a huge fan of blue polish but this has that slightly lilac cast to it- so pretty. And the matte effect really does make the larger circle glitter look like bubbles <3
