Powder Perfect

* press sample, provided for my honest review *

Happy day friends!!  Thanks for joining me for another review.  Today is a brand I have NEVER shared with you.  Perhaps selfish reasons, because I LOVE HER, and don't want a restock to ever get crazy.  The exciting part about this brand, Powder Perfect, is that I got to meet the maker, Jacinta, at the Cocktails and Colors 2016 in Vegas.  She is a sweetheart, and really she makes gorgeous creations of polishes.  Unique, fun, and stunning!!!  WARNING:  This is going to be VERY photo heavy!!!

Powder Perfect has just recently turned 3 years old, so in a celebratory fashion, Jacinda has created an Anniversary Duo.  Luckily, I have one of the two to review for you.  First off, I need to share that this polish wasn't in my media bag to review... Jacinda allowed me to have this one from her display.  When I saw it I was absolutely smitten!!!  

First, I need to show you her display from Cocktails and Colors 2016. (and a close up of some polishes)

The polish I'm going to share is called Elysium and I can't even tell you enough about it.  Seriously, this polish makes me SQUEAL with DELIGHT!!!!  It's a silver colored base but then it is LOADED with such sparkly BARKLY GOODNESS1!!!  TONS of holo, that gives that rainbow glow and then the most beautiful flakies that shift from a pink to a green tone.

So... I have a confession.  I have LOTS of untried polish. LOTS, too many that I won't even admit to.  BUT, I very rarely EVER use a polish twice.  However, since I returned home from Vegas on July 28th, I have now to date used this THREE TIMES.  I even purchased a backup bottle when they were released, because I can NEVER run out of this.  And yes... I may even be considering a backup to my backup!! I know... SCANDALOUS!!!!  But it is SO PRETTY!!!

In the sunshine, or in the light box, and in my kitchen under "normal" lighting... it is BEAUTIFUL!!!  This is my absolute FAVORITE polish of ALL time.  I LOVES IT!!!

So I have a bunch of pictures because I just couldn't help myself.  I used two coats and a top coat. It's a smooth finish so only 1 top coat is needed.  But her formula, if you are NOT familiar... is perfection. ALWAYS perfect, it applies so beautiful and smooth.  I gush about it.  I think I found her earlier this year and have been smitten ever since.

Also, if you didn't know, Jacinda's beautiful Powder Perfect is straight from Australia.  Which was why meeting  her in person was even more of a treat.  Yes, I may have fan girled a little when I met her, I just wanted to pick her up, put her in my purse and take her home!!!!

So, this polish IS still available but this beauty will NOT last long.  You need to check out the beautiful pink which is the other side of this duo called Utopia.  It's BEAUTIFUL!!! I ordered it myself, but it hasn't arrived just yet.  The duo is currently sold out, BUT she still has both of these beauties sold individually.  Just get them both, you will NOT regret it!!!

So, partially bad ish news.  But not entirely.  Elysium is still available on the Australian site, but currently sold out on the International/USA site.  So you can still find it and maybe she will restock the International site.
Edited to add:  Jacinta will be restocking this in October, so keep your eyes open!!!  

There are 2 websites.  So if you are IN Australia, you can just click HERE. If you are outside of Australia, no matter where you are, her international shop, just click HERE. There are also a couple of stockists that carry her beautiful polishes.  But check out the website, she offers an excellent selection of water decals, nail treatments and top coats.  There really is something for everyone!!!

Thanks for hanging out with me, and checking out this GORGEOUS polish!!! But what are you doing still here... GO and buy this beauty before it is gone!!!!  And have the GREATEST of days!!!!
