Cult Nails - In A Trance, Enigmatic, Awakening & Hypnotize Me

I am pleased to show you the Hypnotic Collection from Cult Nails. I purchased this when it was on pre-sale. There are a good number of discounts, sales and giveaways (I won one on Twitter), so I suggest you follow Cult Nails in one or more of those ways. Maria started this company and it is slowly growing with a few collections now. It has been fun to see her ideas and the process and even play a part in choosing colors she shares on Facebook. You can find her swatches for this collection here. You can also find some other colors I swatched on my blog: Iconic and Let Me Fly. You'll notice Let Me Fly is sold out on the website, but keep an eye out this weekend ;)

UPDATE: Cult Nails
In honor of 1500 likes, our Labor Day weekend sale will be: Buy any two bottles for $15! AND if that wasn't enough we are working on whether we can do a free shipping offer for orders over a certain $ amount! The sale will be Friday - Sunday only! Stay tuned for more information!


In A Trance is a golden olive green shimmer that paints on opaque in 1 - 2 coats. It was probably my least favorite in this collection as I don't think of this color as working well with my skin tone. However, it surprised me :) it looked nice and has grown on me. Shown below in two coats.

And some of the sparkly shimmer colors...


Enigmatic is a deep royal purple with a silver shimmer and multi-color sparkle in the sun. It also paints on opaque in 1 - 2 coats. This is a gorgeous purple. Shown below in two coats.

The subtle multi-color shimmer...


Awakening is a lovely deep, dusty teal creme. This was the primary reason I bought this collection - I love blues and teals! This goes on quite thin the first coat, so it may take a few to get good opacity. Otherwise, I had no issues with the formula. Shown in three coats. Love...

Hypnotize Me is a sheer light green jelly with lots 'o' glitter. This formula was very easy to control. I am sloppy, so this was great. This works best as a layering polish, but you may like it just as it is. Shown with four coats. The first pic shows the color of the base best.

And now... the part I like that truly highlights the magic of this polish. I layered Hypnotize Me over Awakening and look at it pop! Two coats.
