The display has the 5 flakes and 1 black polish. The only reason I left one, Flashy, is because it reminded me too much of other flakies I already have, Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Nubar 2010 and Essie Shine of The Times. If you don't have those, though, you might not want to miss out on Flashy. There are many similar colored flakes out there, but it's still pretty :D

Although Asylum and Twisted look really similar, they're not dupes. The main difference is that Asylum has less of a variety of flakes in it than Twisted does. Of course, on the nail they look extremely similar. But that's because of the color changing quality of the flakes. Asylum looks like it only has the blue flakies that flash purple and the red flakies that flash green, orange and gold. Twisted to me looks like it has the red, blue and green flakies. Atleast, that's my opinion. You can't really tell the difference on the nail unless you look at them head on.

I swatched them all over American Apparel's Hassid (my favorite 1 coater black). Here they are with only one coat of the flakes over black:

A bit sparse, but pretty. I think Flecked is the most densely packed one of the bunch. I can't speak for flashy. But of the 4 I got, Flecked seems like it could be a one coater when layering for sure :D So now here they are with 2 coats over black:

Big difference, right? I think they're pretty amazing! The girl told me these are limited edition and they were not out for sale yet. They had them in the back and allowed me to purchase them. They're supposed to go out for sale in January. So, call your Sally's and see if they'll let you have them now if you can't wait!
Well, that's it from me for today! I hope you're all having a great Friday!! Have a fun and safe weekend! It's Christmas for those of us who celebrate, even if you don't, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! <3
OMG I love Asylum...really I love them all

ReplyDeleteI love them all, I got my collection yesterday, cant't wait to play with them. Great swatches!
ReplyDeleteVery nice swatches. I called my local Sally Beauty and they are available for sale..unfortunately I have not been able to go and buy them yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video! I just stopped by my Sally today and they had them all out. I picked up Asylum and Motley. Couldn't really justify all four since I have Essie Shine of the times.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for this. Now I know which one I want. Beautiful nails. Now following you.. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey looks so nice together but the third one with blue flakes looks really special to me
ReplyDeleteThese are the same four I purchased, since I already own Essie Shine of the Times. Love them all...
