Pomegranate Nail Lacquer- "Fairy Berry"/"Fit for a Prince" review!!

I received some AWESOME samples in the mail about a week ago to review from one of my FAVORITE indie polish makers, Pomegranate Nail Lacquer. This brand is literally unbelievable. I received two colors from their new collection entitled "Royal Fairy Tale". These colors are absolutely fantastically beautiful and pretty cheap as well! These polishes went on sale February 8th. I'm a little late on this because I was testing out another product for review. I've been receiving Pomegranate samples for a few collections, but this is my FIRST with my blog! So now they ALL will be reviewed on here.

Royal Fairy Tale comes with 14 new shades, in a variety of finishes. A quick run through of the available colors (NOT including Fairy Berry and Fit for a Prince, see review for them):

Palace Gardens: An enchanting Emerald green creme with shimmer.

The Queen's Jewels: A medley of diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire glitter in a clear base.

Storm the Castle: A deep, cloudy teal-grey jelly.

Damsel: A taupe-nude creme with shimmer.

True Love's Kiss: A silvery pink polish with a foil finish.

Book of Spells: A rich bronze creme.

Broken Curse: A myriad of purple and blue micro glitter in a clear base.

Prince Charmer: A rich lavender-grey creme.

Pennywisher: A rose gold polish with a foil finish.

Royal Brat: A bright lime green jelly.

Frolicker: A merry marigold-yellow creme.

And lastly,

Rose Garden Romance: A rich red creme.

PHEW! Now all of these are available for sale RIGHT NOW (for the low price of $8.50 each) on Pomegranate Lacquer's website which will be listed below! Now onto the colors I got!:

On the left is Fit for a Prince and the right is Fairy Berry. Holy gorgeous, right? These two are colors that I have never seen before. You may be thinking, "Mishelle, the blue is fairly common." Well I disagree! I'm a huge blue lover (as I type this I have a blue shirt, blue sweatpants, blue polish, a blue class ring, ect. on.) and if I would have seen this anywhere I would have snagged it up. But alas, I haven't seen it anywhere. Anyways, the one thing I was kind of disappointed in was that the bottle has changed. I really enjoyed the old square bottle and the simple logo/design. I'm hoping the change was just for this collection, but if not it doesn't affect the formula, so it will not dissuade me from purchasing.



Fit for a Prince is a regal Monaco blue creme, as described by the company. I have to be completely honest, I had to look up what Monaco actually was, and I'm still not quite sure. I typed in Monaco, and it said it was a place (in pictures, it shows an ocean in which the color looks JUST like this) but while typing in Monaco blue, there was a car that popped up in this exact same color. Either way, the blue is BEAUTIFUL! The formula is thick, even when there is not a lot of polish on the brush. I wiped the brush off on the side of the bottle like I normally do before painting, and it still almost flooded the nail.

This is with 1 coat! ONE COAT! It's outrageously opaque, which is awesome. A completely opaque nail polish is a girls best friend, less coats means less dry time and more manicures! The thick formula works to the advantage of not needing a lot of coats, so it's almost a good thing it's thick!



 

Now one thing I REALLY love about Pomegranate Nail Lacquer's polish is that they dry SUPER fast! Literally, I applied this, took pictures, uploaded them to my computer, and by the time I was done that (10 minutes), they were completely dried. This polish applies very smoothly, and did not come off streaky at any time during application. The color, to me, is almost like an electric navy blue. It has a little hint of purple undertone in real life.



Fairy Berry is a sparkling magenta polish with silver shimmer. I'm obsessed with this polish. It's SO pretty both in bottle and on the nail. The formula for Fairy Berry is perfect. It's not thick, but it's not thin either, it's literally just right.



 

Like Fit for a Prince, this polish is opaque! This was 1 coat. While you could use 1 coat, I would do 2 with this polish just as a safe measure.  This polish also dries even FASTER than the other! I was completely surprised. (This is showing blue on my nail, but I promise you, there is no blue in this color!)



 

This is a really nice plum purple that has beautiful silver shimmer and purple micro glitter. For a micro glitter polish, this applied perfectly. It was not streaky, and was not hard to apply/spread. I'm loving the color and the effect so much! While taking the polish off, I noticed if you lightly wiped a nail polish remover dipped cotton ball over it, it creates an AWESOME silver color with some purple in it. If you were to stop there, put a top coat on, you could have a whole other color! I thought that was pretty cool. Once again, there is NO blue in this polish, I'm not sure where it's showing up from.

Here is a better picture of it...
