Serum No. 5, a logo recognized for his or her glow within the darkish sun shades, launched a large lineup of polishes this fall. i've got swatches to share with you these days, together with glitters, holographics, shimmers, and of route, their signature glows.

i've additionally got a brief non-public replace on the end of this post, for any of you which are curious approximately what i've been up to recently.

a category Act is a pinky holo. sadly, my digicam struggles with pinks, so it looks a chunk redder right here instead of pink. I absolutely appreciated carrying this color. it is flattering on the hands and paintings suitable with out being uninteresting. two coats with a pleasant formula.

Beam Me Up is a golden/tan glow inside the darkish coloration with microshimmer. I wished three coats for the opacity proven right here, plus two coats of topcoat to try to clean out the roughness of the glow pigments. I don't suppose this color is splendid flattering on me both, unluckily.

First Colors is a white semi-opaque base with blue, purple, and yellow glitters. I used three coats of First shades in my swatch, though subsequent time i would probable layer one coat over white alternatively. i love that all of the glitters in this polish are on the smaller aspect, as I don't sincerely find myself interested in big glitters these days.

Fractured Rainbows is a glow within the dark opalescent flakie topper. I layered one coat over CND Vinylux Indigo Frock for the swatch underneath.

I had hassle identifying a way to layer this one: do I go together with a darkish shade to help the flakies show up higher, or do I go along with a light color to enhance the glow within the dark impact? As you could see, I went with the dark base, which makes the flakies pop however does have an effect on the glowiness.

My pinnacle choices from this lineup might be mild velocity, Galactic Rainbow, and a class Act.

New customers must remember the fact that one of the expenses you pay for a glow in the darkish polish is a bumpier, on occasion grittier end. although now not all Serum glows are like this, you may want to feature an extra coat of topcoat to easy a number of them out.
