Virtual Polish Con UK 2021 - Out Of This World

*AD - Gifted*
Hi! Today I have a couple of polishes from the 2021 Polish Con UK to share. Due to ongoing effects from the pandemic, we were yet again unable to host a physical Polish Con here in the UK - so like last year, we went virtual again! The theme this time around was Out of This World (Get Me Off This Planet!), which I think is very fitting. There are a lot of brands and products available this year, including the three following polishes that I was kindly send to swatch. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

Virtual Polish Con UK 2021 - Out Of This World @acertainbeccaa

First up is Beau Polish 'Terrany'. Inspired by Michael Burnham from Star Trek Discovery, it is a blue jelly base with a gold, blue and violet shift, and gold flakes. This was pretty much opaque for me in two coats, but I did add a quick third to make sure it covered evenly. Below is two coats with topcoat.

To compliment the gold flakes, I stamped the swirly pattern from UberChic Beauty plate Fairytale 01 in gold.

Next is Liv Oliv 'Float Me Away to the Milky Way', a blue to pink shifty base with silver, pink, and blue sparkles. This was inspired by the Milky Way itself. I expected this one to be super sheer, but it built up beautifully. Below is three coats with topcoat.

I felt like this one needed stars. I stamped the negative space star pattern from UberChic plate 1-03 in black.

I also couldn't resist seeing how this polish applied over black. On my pointer and pinky nails below, I applied one coat of 'Float Me Away to the Milky Way' over a black base. I then paired it with some galaxy swirls and stars, sponging the polish over black.

Last up is Shanelle Louise World 'Vortex', a violet to blue shimmery base with hints of gold and green, and a subtle holographic sparkle. I love the soft subtle sparkles. Again, this one built up really nicely. Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? Which of these would be your personal pick? All three polishes mentioned above, along with numerous other polishes are available until Wednesday at 7pm over on the Polish Con website here. There are also lots of non-polish items available, such as nail care items (my own oil, acetone additive, and hand cream), jewellery, masks, and even notebooks.

Hope to see you in the next post!
