Alter Ego Enamels Polish Con Exclusives: Hot Times in Old Town and Da Bears

Press Sample

Polish Con Chicago is right around the corner, occurring this Saturday 9/23! I fully had plans to go but wanted to make a vacation out of it to see Chicago. Unfortunately, this week is a holiday, so I ended up having to skip! But I still want to share some exclusives in case you are going!

Da Bears: 3 coats. This is named about the Chicago football team and has their colors! So this can be layered over any color or used as a gradient, but I wanted to see it as it's full effect. It was almost opaque in two coats on my long nails but I added a third. 

There's royal blue and silver flakes with coppery orange microglitters. This has one coat of top coat which smoothed everything over. Yup! All those flakes but it's totally smooth. I love everything going on in this polish!

There were  lot of clouds and the sun was being rude but you can see the metallic sparkle of the silver flakes.

Flakes always look awesome in the shade. This color has so much dimension! Yet, it is also totally smooth, so no glittery texture.

Of course, it looks AMAZING when it's matte.

Hot Times in Old Town: 1 coat over Alter Ego Yo! Pistachio, Sherbet vs Sherbert, Lemon Ice, and Rare as a Blue Moon. These were all from her ice cream collection.

When I saw this glitter top coat, I thought, WHOA, what a throwback to 2012 when indies were exploding. I genuinely haven't worn a glitter like this in ages. But you know what? I put this mani on and felt so HAPPY! Like just, incredibly cheerful. 

So this has neon matte circle glitters in a clear base. I dabbed on one coat but you can do a gradient, a jelly sandwich, glitter placement. I'm ready for you 2012!

So there you have it. These two polishes will be available at the Alter Ego table at Polish Con, this Saturday 9/23 at the Navy Pier. I don't know if they will be available afterward, so make sure you find a friend to grab them for you! I'm assuming they will be the standard price ($9 for 17mL bottle), but there could be some show specials!

If you can't make it to Polish Con, you can shop Alter Ego's site.  Don't forget about my non-affiliate discount code Ehmkay nails for 20% off.

    1. Seriously, it made me so happy! I almost did a gradient under the glitter and decided a skittle was more appropriate. I love it.
