786 Cosmetics - Swatches & Review

*AD - Gifted*

Hello lovelies! Today I have a look at new-to-me brand, 786 Cosmetics. The brand contacted me offering me some polishes to share, and of course I said yes! All of 786 Cosmetics polishes are completely vegan, cruelty free, 11-free, and halal. They are also marketed as breathable nail polish. I was sent two polishes to try - 'Jaipur' & 'Jakarta'. Read on for my swatches, a bit of nail art, and more info!

'Jaipur' is a burnt pink creme. This is a bit sheer on the first coat, but has a smooth, easy to apply formula. Depending on your application and nail length, you could get this opaque in two coats. I still had some visible nail line, so added a third. This dries down fairly glossy. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Jakarta' is a light purple creme, described as a 'soft violet'. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. I would say that this is the more opaque of the two, but the first coat is slightly streaky. Again, depending on your application this could either be a two or three coater. Below is three coats with topcoat.

As both colours go together really nicely, I decided to do a bit of a smoosh mani. Using a sponge, I smooshed both colours together over a base of the lighter of the two, 'Jakarta'. I then stamped on some gold swirls. I do feel like I've done a pretty much identical mani before, but I like it!

What do you think? I always love trying new brands, and new products - and I'm happy to report that I got on really with with both polishes shown. The only other breathable nail polish I believe I've tried is from ORLY's breathable range, so it's nice to try something similar from another brand. I also did enjoy doing a bit of girly nail art!

You can find 'Jaipur', 'Jakarta' and a wide range of other polishes on the 786 Cosmetics website here. Each polish is 11ml and retails for $12.95. They are all inspired by cities around the globe.
