Sation Let's Mingle and Jingle

purchased by me

Let's Mingle and Jingle, from Sation's 2012 Holiday collection, is a navy blue jelly with various sizes of silver holographic glitter.  It's dark without looking black, applies like a dream, and was almost opaque in two coats.  If you want zero VNL, you can use three, but my swatches are two (without top coat) because I like the jelly look of it.

Sation Oh My Oceania

purchased by me

Ever since I saw Oh My Oceania on Let Them Have Polish, I knew it was going to be mine someday.  It's a green base with blue shimmer, making it look turquoise overall.   The formula was a breeze to work with, smooth and not too thin.  It did dry to a satin finish, so I have pictures of two coats of Oh My Oceania both with and without top coat.

Sation Video Game Vixen

My final Sation glitter topper is Video Game Vixen, and she's unique and pretty!  VGV is silver and black glitter in a clear base, which combines on the nail to look like marcasites.  All swatches are, from left to right, one, two and three coats alone, followed by one coat over black and one coat over white.

Of the swatches, I like this best over white, but I'm also going to wear it over lilac and pink!

Sation Most Hue-Nique

Hue-Nique is a barely blue-tinted jelly with lots of glitter--blue bar glitter, iridescent micro-glitter and purple and blue hex glitter.  The glitter spread fairly evenly without being pushed around, which is always a plus.  All swatches are, from left to right, one, two and three coats alone, followed by one coat over black and one coat over white.

 Most Hue-Nique is a very pretty mix of glitters and a lovely layering polish.

Sation Class Clown

I think that more than a few people have Cris at Let Them Have Polish to blame for Sation lemmings. ;)  As you saw in yesterday's haul post, I caved and got three lovely Sation glitter toppers!  The first of these is Class Clown, a barely-tinted lime green jelly with green a yellow microglitter and deep pink and blue hex glitter which flash silver.  I'm not ordinarily a yellow-toned green person, but look how adorable this is over white!  It's like a lime snocone!  All swatches are, from left to right, one, two and three coats alone, followed by one coat over black and one coat over white.

I'm pretty sure it would take a lot of coats to get this opaque, but it's so cute as a topcoat over white I don't care!
