Cult Nails PASSIONATE DREAMS Nail Polish Collection Swatches & Review

New Year, New Collection, New Stories!  For their first collection of 2014, Cult Nails introduces Passionate Dreams – a set of four nail lacquers that I find to be perfect for Valentine’s Day, especially!

Cult Nails Passionate Dreams Nail Polish Collection Swatches ReviewFrom the Official Press Release:

…She dreamed of the day when she would find him, the one.  And find him, she did.  He passed her in the park on her morning walk.  She’d been watching him as he approached.  With his head down and his hands in his pockets, he hadn’t given her so much as a glance.  But there he was, the absolute man of her dreams.  His stride was flawless and graceful, but manly.  His build was average but he carried himself with confidence, not cockiness.  And his eyes.  Oh his eyes!  When he looked up to apologize for almost bumping into her, she could feel his eyes looking deeper into her soul than she ever thought possible.  His stare was intense.  Heart stopping.  Lethal.  That was the moment.  The feeling his gaze left her with was enough to ignite her passion.  Then she felt it.  The pounding in her heart.  Her breathing became shallow and quick.  Her senses were exploding at the thought of him simply speaking to her.  Then, it happened.  She looked back at him and their eyes met once more.  It was undeniable; but as quickly as he approached, he continued on, blending in with the background until he was eventually out of sight.
CULT NAILS™ brings you the PASSIONATE DREAMS collection.  With names like LETHAL, IGNITE, ANGEL WHISPERS, and KISS, this collection brings emotions of desire, lust, and passion, and the colors are no exception.

Cult Nails Passionate Dreams Nail Polish SwatchesLethal is a strong silver foil metallic.  This painted on easily and I was happy to see only a few visible streaks (the flash exaggerates them quite a bit).  Two coats shown below with flash and without.

Cult Nails Lethal Nail Polish Swatches flashCult Nails Lethal Nail Polish Swatches no flashAngel Whispers is has a pale, milky pink base with an iridescent silvered shimmer.  This polish dries as a matte with a light texture.  It’s like a dried out and crushed cotton candy sugar.  The formula is a little thick, but even if it looks like too much on the first coat it settles very nicely.  Below is two coats.

Cult Nails Angel Whispers Nail Polish Swatches 1Cult Nails Angel Whispers Nail Polish Swatches 2Kiss is a vibrant and beautiful red that dries like wax.  I think it looks like I stretched plastic across my nails.  VERY cool (and by cool I mean awesome).  One coat had me at okay, but two coats (shown below) is perfection.  The first pic is taken with flash, the bottom without flash.

    I’m really disappointed that the stock for this collection is so limited, and if I really want the one color I actually want, I have to order the whole set or risk not being able to buy it individually. It is a shame that Cult Nails is unable to realize that not all of these colors are compatible with all skin colors. I know that pink would not work on me and silvers usually don’t either.
