Superficially Colorful Happy Hour Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Now this collection is speaking my language!  While I’m not one to drink often, I can always appreciate a good cocktail… especially at Happy Hour!

Superficially Colorful has come up with 4 textured thermal polishes that are named after yummy cocktails, and to go with the polish, she’s also included drink recipes!

Cupid’s Cup

🍸	Changes from a dark to light pink, inspired by a juicy pink cocktail
🍸	Ingredients: 2 oz Hpnotiq Harmonie 1 oz vodka ½ oz Cointreau ½ oz lime juice How to: Shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with candy lips.

I used 2 easy coats for all photos, no top coat to keep the textured look. The photos below will show the transition from hot to cold!

Great Raspberry Flute

🍸	Ingredients: 2 oz Raspberry Vodka (UV Blue) ½ oz Triple Sec 1 oz lime juice How to: Shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

I used 2 easy coats for these photos and no top coat.  Probably my favorite of the 4 shades!

🍸	Ingredients: 1 oz Irish Cream 1 oz Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua) Sugar to taste Hot coffee Light Cream How to: Add Kahlua and Irish cream to a coffee glass and stir. Fill with hot coffee and sugar to taste. Float light cream or half & half on top.

This is another that I loved when I put on!  I used 2 coats for these photos, no top coat.

Overview

Overall I found this to be a fun collection.  I’ve always been a texture polish lover and each shade has a nice thermal transition and just a bit of glitter.  Steamy Affair has the highest glitter content for more sparkle if you prefer that look.  I had no application issues and each polish needed just 2 coats for full opacity and a nice texture without being overly gritty.

This is a limited edition collection, so get them while you can!

Price: $9.00 Each
