Review: Kolt Dual Chrome Swatches and Review

Morning Everyone!

I’m sorry for falling off the face of the polish earth. I’ve been around, just not around on the blog so much. I’m quite a few days behind on the 31 Day Challenge but I will work on getting caught up. Thanksgiving had me SUPER busy (if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you know how much I had to cook!), and afterward I’ve just been going through a blah phase I think. I actually hadn’t repainted my nails after Day 22, and my Gangnam style nails didn’t get removed until 2 days ago!

But anyway, I’m getting back into it because I’m WAY behind on things I need to show you guys. Today I’ve got a Brazilian brand that’s completely new to me, Kolt Dual Chromes! When I received these from Harlow & Co. I decided right away that I was going to layer them. I used A England Camelot (my faaaaaaaavorite black nail polish) as my base for each polish.

This post is SUPER picture heavy so I’m putting it behind a cut. I used 2 coats of each polish over one coat of black. I’ll go over application and formula in my final thoughts since it was similar for all 7 polishes.

Aurora Boreal

Aurora Boreal shifts from an evergreen to a peacock-blue. This is a subtle shift, but it’s one of my favorites!

Bionic

Bionic really surprised me! In the bottle it is more of a burnt brickish red. But when it’s layered over black it’s a strong blue to purple shift!

Explosive

Explosive is another strong dual chrome. This one shifts from orange to copper to pink.

Gold Strong

Gold Strong didn’t have the strongest shift for me. It’s a gorgeous gold-pink dual chrome in the bottle, but layered over black it was more of a greenish gold. Still pretty though! Perhaps I need to layer it over a different color to get a stronger dual chrome effect.

Lunatic

Lunatic is a strong fuchsia polish with a subtle shift into gold under certain lighting! It’s a great combo and one I wasn’t expecting.

Universe

Universe shifts subtlety from a purple to a blue. My camera hates blurple polishes, but take my word for it when I say the different between the purple and the blue is slightly more noticeable in person. You can see the shift the best in the macro shot here.

Vintage

Vintage is a little frosty, but it seems like most pearl/opalescent nail polishes like this have that unavoidable frost tendency. This one had a strong shift from purple to green. I think I’ll have fun stamping with this one!

Final Thoughts:

Every single one of the Kolt Dual Chrome nail polishes had a great formula! Not too thin and not too thick. When I layered them over black I could have stopped at 1 coat, but 2 coats had a more concentrated look that I preferred. The brushes on each of my bottles was a nice length and easy to work with. My top picks from this collection are Aurora Boreal, Gold Strong, Explosive and Bionic.
