Sancion Angel Broadway Collection: Part 1

Hello friends :) Happy Father's Day to you and yours! Today I'd like to show you two polishes from the Brazilian brand Sancion Angel. This is their Broadway collection, all flakies too hurrah! The polishes are teeny, 8 ml and named after Broadway characters.

Sandy, I imagine is named for the blonde goody-two shoes from "Grease". This polish has a clear base with green tinted flakes, that can appear blue from different angles. This is obviously meant to be a layering polish, but I wanted to show it on it's own to show the flakes better. This is two coats.

Christine is named for the singer in "Phantom of the Opera" (I'm guessing), one of my very favorite plays. This is a super gorgeous polish, gold flakes in a violet purple base. Two coats here.

I was dismayed to see that the brushes in both these polishes were splayed and wirey, almost impossible to work with. For layering polishes, I would prefer to have bigger bottles of them as well. I will have a few more of these to show you soon. Have a great one :)

Sancion Angel Holográficos Part 2

Hiiii lovies! I have some more Brazilian holographic polishes to share :) Remember when I showed you my first two Sancion Angel polishes back in the day? Well here are two more! Yay, I was excited when these babies came in the mail!

First up is Ariel, the beautiful ginger haired princess of the sea! All of these holos are named after fictional heroines, how fun is that?! This is a green tinted turquoise scattered holographic polish that is super opaque, this is one coat.

Next is Arwen, named for the half-elf in Lord of the Rings, the Lady of Rivendell and Queen of the Reunited Kingdom. Yeah, I had to look that up, I really just know that Liv Tyler played her in a movie haha! This is a light lilac scattered holographic polish. I've done two coats here.

These are both a little more rainbow-y than the China Glaze Tronica collection but not as much as something like Gosh Holographic, to give you an idea of where they stand on the spectrum. The brushes on these were both a little wonky and splayed, no bueno! I first thought the little bottles were kind of a jip, but now I wish more companies would put out mini bottles! It would save on cost and space haha :D

Have a good weekend my luvs!

Sancion Angel Holográficos

These are two Brazilian lacquers that I got from my lovely friend Sarah who runs the blog Them Pretty Colors. Sancion Angel got wind of the holographic trend and decided to put out some of their own colors, all named after fictional heroines. I have been wanting a yellow holographic polish forEVER and red holos are so rare that I begged Sarah to try to get me these babies.

Beatrix is the yellow polish, named after Uma Thurman's character Beatrix Kiddo in the Kill Bill films. They are by my favorite director, Quentin Tarantino, so that makes me love this polish even more. I imagine they named this one Beatrix as one of her outfits in the first Kill Bill film was a yellow motorcycle outfit. This yellow is slightly warm toned, maybe not one that would look great on everyone but I love it on me. This is two coats.
Dorothy is from The Wizard of Oz; the polish is red, most likely because of Dorothy's iconic ruby shoes. This polish was slightly less holo than I would care for in a perfect world, but it is nicely pigmented and I only needed one coat.
These bottles are tiny, only 8ml, and a bit hard to get unless you are in Brazil, but the other colors in this series are just as fun. I want to get them all! Especially Neytiri (blue like the Avatar girl), Luna (indigo for Luna Lovegood, yay for Harry Potter!), Holly (silver for Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's), and Ariel (turquoise for the Disney mermaid).

xoxo,
