Upcoming Polish Collection Recap

If you follow me on Facebook you probably have already seen the photos of some of our upcoming collections. We have a lot of polish coming your way this year. One of the best part of Cult Nails is that everyone seems to get into the polish making. I receive emails, tweets, blog comments, phone calls and friends who all have ideas of what they would like to see for a polish. I took many of these ideas with me when I went to the lab and we ended up creating something around 35 polish colors! Now here I sit creating more at home, so that come June I can head back to the lab and start creating colors for next year. I also have some colors I am sending them that we can hopefully release in the middle of some other collections this year and we are doing tons of research and development for some cool stuff to come. It is a never ending cycle, with a limited budget. So it's always tough trying to figure out what to put in each collection. I will show you in more detail swatches of all the upcoming colors for these collections but I just thought I would post a quick snapshot of what was on Facebook in case you missed it. 

First up is the picture of the collection coming in March. I'll be posting swatches and descriptions of these on the blog soon. I'm just waiting for a sunny day and a good announcement as to when they will be released. We are just waiting for confirmation that the dates are a go for filling our bottles. So look out for that soon. And yes I will release the picture of the flake on the right soon. 

And of course these fun ones that end up differently on the nail than in the bottle. The top photo correlates to the bottom photo, but I think the middle polish should be on the right not in the middle. Dang it I have to double check that! But again once we have more info as to final dates, I will let you all know. This one will be sometime in April. Oh and we have a May collection too! Yikes! This April collection snuck it's way in there. We originally planned a collection every other month this year, and somehow we have added two in between collections already. I get to excited when I create something I love to wait. Apparently I have no patience! Who knew? :) 

A one coater black that stays super shiny! This is probably one that I have gotten the most requests for! Such a simple color, you can get black nail polish anywhere. But the requests have been for me to put it in the amazing Cult Nails creme formula, make it one MAYBE two coats. (I tried to apply it thinly for two coats - it doesn't work, this is a one coater for me no matter what I try, but I know everyone has different application methods so I say MAYBE because I just can't see it.) It has been asked that it stay super shiny and be good for Konading. OK I get it! You guys want a Cult Nails black! It only took three tries to get this one created, and I think you guys are going to flip over how great the coverage is. This baby needs a name, Juan and I can't agree. If you have any name suggestions, I would love to hear them!

I couldn't not play with these top coats since I kept hyping it up to Juan and couldn't bring them home with me because the lab needed them so they could recreate it for me. I ended up doing a tape manicure and I was planning on taking pictures in the sun today. But of course it has been overcast, so these are the best photos I could get. Very Mardi Gras - that was a total coincidence! Oh and these need names too. We have Two Timer, Deceitful, Duplicitous, but we aren't hard set on any of them. We want names that represent the two sides of these polishes. If you have any other ideas, let us know. Of course as usual, if you name one of our polishes, we will credit you and send it to you free!


Anyway, No idea how this day went by so fast! It's already 3pm here! I have a ton of emails to respond to still, a shower to take since I hit the gym hard again today and the post office to get to, so those of you who ordered yesterday afternoon up until oh about an hour ago can get your polishes ASAP! Shower first? Post office first? I think I'm going to go with the shower and then the post office and then your emails. Sound good? Cool! Catch you in a bit!
