Hi all! Today I have four super patriotic polishes from ellagee to show you! Together they make up the American the Beautiful collection, which was made for Independence Day. These polishes are fantastic as a set, but I also love that they can also be worn year-round on their own!
From left to right these bottle shots show "Our Flag Was Still There," "Give Me Liberty," "Let Freedom Ring," and "Spangled." Now let's jump into some swatches!
"Give Me Liberty" - This deep red jelly is filled with oddles of silver holographic hexes. Formula on this was wonderful, perfectly walking the line between opaque enough to cover well and not so opaque that it covers the glitters. The result is perfectly suspended sparkles in squishy, layered goodness. I had coverage at two coats, but added a third to deepen the color. These photos also show one coat of top coat.

"Let Freedom Ring" - Much like the previous polish, this one features a dark navy jelly base and is filled with small silver holographic hexes. This polish had the same wonderful formula and the resulting look is stunning! Again, I had coverage at two coats but added a third coat to make the base color a touch deeper. Personally, this looks like a more awesome (holographic) version of the extremely hard-to-find Essie "Starry Starry Night." These photos also show top coat.

"Our Flag Was Still There" - This clear-based glitterbomb is a full coverage glitter/texture polish! It's filled with tiny metallic red, blue, silver, and white squares and hexes. I feel like I keep saying this, but coverage on this one was also fantastic! I only needed two coats for the full coverage you see in these photos. Two coats! These photos show it with top coat, but even without it wasn't as gritty as a lot of other texture polishes.

"Spangled" - This last polish is a clear-based glitter topper comprised of silver holographic glitters in small and medium hexes, squares, dots, and stars! Coverage was smooth and easy and these photos show two thin coats plus top coat. I decided to show what it looks like over several colors as well as a patriotic gradient! (The other colors used are Zoya "Sooki," Sinful Shine "Whisp," and Sinful Colors "Endless Blue."

Like I said above, I'm in love with this collection! Each polish truly shines on its own, but together they make a fantastic and well-rounded collection that is perfect for when you want to look extra patriotic. "Spangled" is especially fun and I can't say I own any other holographic toppers with stars in them!
