Since the first time I've seen this collection on Steffels blog I fell in love with these polishes with no hope of redemption... I've searched them on eBay and found from the HSC Imports. The decision of buying them took a couple of months, because they are not so cheap, (but the eBayer offers free shipping!), so I waited for a better (=wealthier) time. Eventually I've chosen 3 of 5 from this collection, the most uniques: the green/gold, the bronze and the blue/purple. My cousin bought the blue/purple more the grey with multicolor glitters, so I had the chance to see it, too.
TONY MOLY - GALAXY COLLECTION
A quick review summary for these polishes. First of all, they are opaque, and this is a good point for a massive glitter polish: you'll need of 2 coats for total coverage and "a bit" of patience for the complete drying. Secondly, they are very rough on the surface when dry, so you'll have to add a generous ammount of glossy and thick top coat. Duration was good on my nails, but they peel off after a warm bath, that's not so bad if you want to avoid 20 minutes of imprecations at the removing moment. And the smell is horrible! :P
Conclusions: they need for more attentions than usual polishes, especially you'll have to use some tricks during the application to enhance their beauty, plus a careful "maintenance", but they are so damned cute and complex that I still think they worth these efforts. But I'm totally in love with them, so maybe my point of view isn't very objective. ^__^;
ON MEDIUM FINGER:
● TONY MOLY - GT03 - MARS
The bronzey one! It's a mix of small round glitters in copper, plus smaller round orange/red and gold (maybe few blue, too?) glitters, into a dark base that should be a burgundy or a brown jelly.
ON INDEX AND PINKIE FINGERS:
● TONY MOLY - GT04 - NEPTUNE
The green polish! It's a polish made with many medium hex glitters in a bright and very sparkling green grass, and tons of small gold microglitters into a dark forest green jelly base.
ON THUMB AND RING FINGERS:
● TONY MOLY - GT05 - JUPITER
The blurple one! It's made with few medium hex duochrome glitters that go from turquoise to green, then many small hex glitters in purple, plus orange microglitters in a dark jelly base.
