Good morning, my faithful readers! I have quite the post for you today, so I wanna jump right into it. 😀 Darling Diva Polish will be releasing a new collection called the “Hug My Face” collection, inspired by one of their favorite movie anthologies, Aliens! I’m dividing this up into two posts, because I could not stop taking photos #sorrynotsorry! Click through to see all the beautimus polishes:
Just a note: all the polishes in the whole collection dry with a matte finish, so top coat is definitely needed if you want that shiny look.
First up is Mother, a white-grey holographic nail polish. I’ve used 3 thin coats plus top coat for Mother.
White holographic nail polishes are really hard to pull off, but I think Darling Diva did a great job with this.
This was inspired by MU-TH-UR 6000, the computer mainframe for the Nostromo, and I think it matches the inspiration perfectly!
Next up is A-ffirmative, a blue holographic nail polish with purple shimmer. The formula on this is a bit thin, I’ve used 3 thin coats plus top coat.
The purple shimmer was hard to capture, but it really does lend some beautiful depth to this blue polish.
This polish was inspired by the character Newt (Carrie Henn) who copies Private Hudson saying affirmative. (Sound clip here.)
Game Over, Man! is next, a red jelly polish with iridescent glitters and holographic silver shards. This is 3 thin coats plus 2 coats of top coat.
This dries gritty as well as matte, so you will need a glitter smoothing top coat followed by a shiny top coat.
This polish is inspired by Bill Paxton’s character, Private Hudson, in “Aliens”. (Here’s a clip of Hudson saying this signature line.)
Next is Have You Ever Been Mistaken For a Man? Say hello to my oompa-loompa skin tone! 😛 I had the darndest time getting a color-accurate photo for this polish. My camera just hates warm, grapey toned polishes.
Anyway! This is a warm, grape-toned holographic nail polish with gold holographic shimmer. I die over it. I really do. Because gorgeousness smacks you in the face. This is 2 coats plus top coat.
This is inspired by Private Hudson (Bill Paxton) asking Private Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) if she’s ever been mistaken for a man. (Great clip of the scene here, I laugh every time!)
Well, this is the first half of this awesome collection, I’ll have the other 5 polishes in a couple of days. Which one here is your must-have polish?
This collection will be releasing on Friday, August 28 and prices will range from $8.50 to $12. Be sure to follow Darling Diva Polish on Facebook, twitter, and instagram for all their latest updates.
I will definitely be picking up some shades from this collection. The vampy purple is my must-have.
Oh my glob, it’s seriously mind-blowing!
give me that first one. Its awful. Let me save you from it…yeah, that’s the ticket. I’m saving you.
Have You Ever Been Mistaken For a Man? is not only such a great name but a drop dead beautiful polish. Love the sun shots.
I loved it when she responded, “Have you?” LOL
Right?! 😁 haha!
I need to watch that again, it’s been a long time. I first saw it back in the theater in middle school, I think. Young Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn, what’s not to love? 😛
Seriously, they were nice on the eyes! *eyebrow wiggle*
All of these are super pretty! 🙂
Have You Ever Been Mistaken For a Man? is so delicious looking! Lovely swatches Jessica!
These are all great colors. I’ve never seen any of the Alien movies. I’m tempted, but I get scared so easily!
I kinda died at Have You Ever Been Mistaken For a Man? Such a gorgeous shade!! I never get sick of colours like that!
What a beautiful collection, my favorite is Have You Ever Been Mistaken for a Man?
I love Mother! All look beautiful though!
Wow, I love all these colors. They’re gorgeous and so are your photos. Thanks, to you and Darling Diva, for all the awesome flashbacks to a great movie! 🙂
Ugghh I love all of these so much! I can’t wait to see the rest of this collection 😀
Such a cool collection! All the holos are pretty, especially the grape, but I also really loooove your squishy swatch of Game Over, Man!
Gorgeous swatches of these Jessica! I need to get to swatching, but this entire collection is just full of WIN!
omggggg how beautiful! Need some of these for sure!
