*Disclosure: PR samples- I received these polishes for free in exchange for swatch photography.*
Hello hello! Today I’ll be sharing a set of six polishes that will be available through Different Dimension as part of their Polish & Beauty Expo exclusive lineup. Four of the set will only be available in person, and another two will only be available online to give some fun to those that can’t make the expo.
For those looking to purchase the online exclusives, Different Dimension will be offering free shipping from 9am EST on 7/23 to 11:59pm EST on 7/25 (using code PBEFREESHIP). Note that the online exclusives are pretty limited in quantity and will not be restocked, so make sure to snag them as soon as possible once they’re available! The online exclusives will go live at 1pm EST on 7/25 – the same time shopping goes live for the in-person event!
For those that are attending the Polish and Beauty Expo, a free branded drawstring backpack and exclusive mystery polish will be given to the first 50 in person purchases spending over $50! Limit one bag per customer.
Polishes available at the Polish and Beauty Expo are limited in quantity, but if there are any leftovers they will eventually be stocked online.
I think that’s it for the details! Let’s get into the swatches.
Music City
Music City is described as a periwinkle jelly polish loaded with gold to green aurora shimmers.
Music City had a pretty sheer first coat, but it quickly builds up well in the following coats. The formula was smooth, and the final finish was very shifty and slightly foil-like. Music City is one of those polishes that look different in every light, and the lighter colored base is very flattering.
Shown is three coats plus glossy top coat.
Music City will retail for $10, or $25 for the trio of Music City, I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back, and Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey.
I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back
I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back is described as a violet creme polish loaded with pink aurora shimmers and holographic microflakies.
I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back is such a stunning polish. Based on my screen, it seems like my swatches lean a bit cooler than what the polish looks like in person, but I can promise you it looks as sparkling as it does in photos. The formula is quite opaque on the first coat, and I thought it was pretty easy to work with. You don’t need thick coats to get decent opacity for this polish.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back will retail for $10, or $25 for the trio of Music City, I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back, and Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey.
Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey
Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey is described as a navy blue polish loaded with pink aurora shimmers and iridescent flakes.
Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey had a nicely smooth formula, and the flakes in the polish come out quite easily.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey will retail for $10, or $25 for the trio of Music City, I Love You All The Way To Nashville And Back, and Smooth As Tennessee Whiskey.
Country Roads Take Me Home
Country Roads Take Me Home is described as an eggplant jelly polish loaded with shimmers, glitters and holographic microflakies.
Country Roads Take Me Home had a pretty thick formula, likely due to the glitters. Because of the glitters, it also dries very textured. The base is very opaque and could honestly be a one-coater if you have shorter nails, and using a glossy top coat makes the color pop much more vibrantly. There’s an interesting pond-like glittering effect from glitters that makes the polish look very deep – this is something that I struggled to capture on camera. I would recommend wearing a base coat with this polish – because of the super opaque base, I think there is potential for staining.
Shown is two coats plus two coats of glossy top coat.
Country Roads Take Me Home is the show special, and will retail for $5.
Online Exclusive: Sweet As Strawberry Wine
Sweet As Strawberry Wine is described as a wine colored holographic polish with added iridescent flakes and aurora shimmers.
Sweet As Strawberry Wine was quite opaque on its first coat, and it builds up well with the flakes mixed in. You don’t need thick coats to get good opacity with this polish.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat. I included a bonus shot where the middle and index fingers have a matte top coat on them – this is one of those polishes that also looks amazing matte.
Sweet As Strawberry Wine will retail for $12.
Online Exclusive: I’d Rather Be In Nashville
I’d Rather Be In Nashville is described as a cobalt blue jelly polish loaded with green to gold aurora shimmers.
I’d Rather Be In Nashville had a slightly thinner formula compared to the others, and I thought that made this polish easier to work with. It was very smooth and self-leveled well. My photos show a bit of nail line peeking through, but in person my nail line wasn’t visible at all.
Shown is two coats plus glossy top coat.
I’d Rather Be In Nashville will retail for $12.
