Myalee London - Swatches & Review

Today I have swatches and a quick review of new UK indie brand 'Myalee London'. Their first collection, the 'Rainbow Collection' consists of 7 beautiful polishes. The bright bottle shots on their Instagram screamed my name, and I ended up purchasing four colours: Green Apple, Disco Orange, Purple Grape and Hot Pink. Prepare yourself, these are BRIGHT! Find out more after the jump!

Of the four I bought, all had perfectly smooth and easy to use formulas. They all dried surprisingly shiny, and also very quickly. 
 

'Green Apple' is a super bright apple green. Myalee London included a note with my parcel recommending that I use a white base for this particular polish. I did find this to be the thinnest of the four, and ended up with four thin coats over white (China Glaze 'White on White').

Four coats over white seemed way too much to me. It was getting thick and if you looked closely I still had subtle streaks even after four coats. As a comparison I decided to swatch Green Apple on a single nail without a white base. I achieved a much better coverage, becoming opaque within three quick thin coats. I added a fourth for good measure but it wasn't really necessary.

I much preferred Green Apple without the white base, so decided not to use one for the other three polishes.
 

'Disco Orange' is a blindingly bright orange. I was shocked to see how bright this came out on the nail. None of my other orange polishes even come close to this. I used three thin coats and top coat.

'Purple Grape' is well, a bright grape purple. Even though I love purple I don't seem to have any comparable colours in my collection. Most purples tend to come out fairly dark unless they have a lot of pink in them. This may be my new favourite purple polish! I used three thin coats and topcoat (this could easily have been left at two coats).

'Hot Pink' is again as described in the name, a hot pink. Pink is my favourite colour, so I swatched this last and I am currently wearing it as a full ten nail manicure. As with Purple Grape this can either be worn with two or three coats depending on your preference. I used three thin coats and topcoat.

When these came, I was impressed by just how bright they were. I was even more impressed (and slightly shocked) by how bright they came out on the nail. All photos were taken in my flat on a dull day. Imagine how much brighter these would be in the sun!

All of the polishes in Myalee London's Rainbow collection are priced at £4.99. They have limited offers for 3 or 4 bottles, and for the whole 7 piece collection. Head over to their website here. To see more swatches and a sneak peek at their next collection, check out their Instagram here.

What do you think? Will you be purchasing any of Myalee London's polishes? I will probably head over and buy the remaining three from this collection soon.

Hope to see you in the next post!
