Oh hello! Sorry for the late night post, but I'm here! Remember my rainbow dotticure with a pot of gold for St. Patrick's Day a few weeks ago? Well I used the Sweet Cremes collection to create that look! Today, I'm sharing individual swatches of this collection! I keep reaching for it for nail art, and I've been really enjoying using these colors!
Alter Ego Sweet Cremes Collection, Swatches and Review |
Cynthia was inspired by creme liquors, which is a fun collection! All of the polishes were 3 coats and all were opaque and shiny on their own except Creme de Banane which I added top coat to. These are in between crelly and creme.
Creme de Cerise: 3 coats. Inspired by crushed cherries, this squishy deep pink definitely reminds me of cherries. I love how shiny this is on its own!

Creme de Noyaux: 3 coats. I used this for my St. Patrick's Day dotticure and I'm obsessed with it. It's such a bright vibrant orange which a touch of pink. This is the perfect pedi color too! Noyaux is made with apricots. I haven't had this but I want to try it!

Creme de Banane; 3 coats plus top coat. This one is the most creme polish of the collection, while the others are more crellie-like. I love the added brown flecks in this polish. It's like a real banana! This leveled out well, it just needed more shine with top coat. I love yellow polishes, and this one is not to be missed!

Creme de Menthe: 3 coats. This was the other color in my dotticure with Noyaux. A great, squishy grass green. I love this color. I was really impressed with the coverage.

Creme de Cassis: 3 coats. This is inspired by blackberry liquer. Another crelly, it just glides on to your nail. Look at how it levels and shines on its own. I'm just loving these cremes.

Creme de Cocao: 3 coats. We need a chocolate inspired polish! I actually have been using this one a lot of nail art. It's a nice dark brown, but I love that it reminds me a cocoa powder. It's a soft brown and that's what I want as I head into spring.

Overall, I've loved Alter Ego's creme collections! I think she does an excellent job with her formulas and they are great for nail art! I love the larger size of the bottle too, because I really do reach for them a lot and have a lot of dents. I bet these polishes would spread well in a watermarble too. Someone try it! Haha. Do you love these crellies?!
