Alter Ego Nail Enamel Swatch Spam

Press Sample

Today I have some spam from Alter Ego Nail Enamel! Cynthia, who is just the absolute sweetest, makes awesome matte polishes that are so gorgeous. She also just got new labels and they look awesome! Check out my swatches of three current colors.

To start, whenever I used top coat, I used Alter Ego Nail Enamel She Shines. This is a really great shiny top coat. It doesn't dry as fast as Seche Vite, but if you are looking for a shiny alternative that is 3-free, She Shines is great!

Well Read - two coats. Well Read is a pink leaning red and oh my, I love it so much! I get uncomfortable wearing bright reds on my nails, and the bit of pink makes it perfect on my skin tone! There is also a scattered holographic pigment in this polish that really comes alive with top coat.

Naval Navigator - two coats. While this was opaque in person, I should have done three coats for photos. Naval Navigator is an aqua jelly polish with a variety of blue glitters. This one I preferred with top coat.

Barrel Setter - two coats. This is my FAVORITE. If you get one, get THIS one. It is such a stunning shade of orange. It's almost neon but really gorgeous blue shimmer. I love this matte and shiny. I can't explain how unbelievably gorgeous this color is!  I've shown it in all different lightings (including indoors) to show you how the orange morphs.

I also mentioned new labels. Her label is now a star which fits perfectly on the bottles and the name of the polish and ingredients are now labeled on the bottled. It's a cleaner look and I really love the improvement.

You can find Alter Ego polishes HERE where polishes are $8.50. I love the versatility of these polishes, both matte and shiny. There's quite a few that I need to grab (Duct Taper, River Dancer, among others).  Follow Alter Ego on Facebook too so you can receive updates and coupons!
