All of the swatches that you are about to see are photographed indoors under daylight lamps. Sadly, the weather has been miserable here in New York, and the sun hasn't been seen here in days. These polishes deserve to be photographed in the sun, but lamplight will have to do for now. Also, I did use a generic glossy topcoat on all of the swatches you are about to see, and I used INM Ridge Free for a basecoat because I didn't want my nail ridges to affect the beauty of these polishes. Shall we get on to the swatches then...
Wanna Fall in Love Tonight
This is described as a purple with glowing red shimmer. To me it is a neon dark metallic purple that is absolutely gorgeous. There are not to many purple polishes that I am fond of but this one is fantastic.
This was mostly opaque with one coat but is swatched with two coats for good measure.
Individual full size bottle will be $8.50 and mini bottles will be $5.00
I Still Adore
This is an orchid pink holo with a gold to pink shift. The holographic shift in this polish is intense. Making it irrisistable and difficult not to stare at.
Mostly opaque with one coat but swatched in two for good measure.
Individual full size bottles will be $12.00 and mini bottles will be $6.00
Cherry Blossom
This is one of the sweetest polishes I have ever laid my eyes on. This is a baby pink with aqua to silver shimmer. Honestly, my pictures do not do this polish any justice, this is an absolutely stunning polish.
I was surprised by how opaque this was, it was mostly opaque with one coat but again I did two for a clean application. My experience with light colored polishes such as this are usually so disappointing but the opacity of this just blew me away.
Individual full size bottles will be $12.00 and mini size bottles will be $6.00
Bound to the City Life
As most of you know I love blue shades and this is no exception. This is a dark teal jelly jammed packed with teal, turquois, purple, and blue holographic microglitters.
I have never been very impressed with jelly polishes but this is incredible. The color is gorgeous, it applied so smoothly and so clean. This is shown with only one coat, I didn't feel it needed anymore than that.
Individual full size bottles will be $8.50 and mini size bottles will be $5.00
Fierce and Free
This is such a complex jelly polish and one of the best jelly glitters polishes I have ever applied. This is a medium orange or reddish orange that is packed, and I mean packed with glitter. This jelly has gold, orange, red, and berry pink holo glitters, metallic microglitters, small glitter, and pink to gold shifting flakes. This polish was based off of a photo from the Design a BEGL contest.
I applied only one coat because that was all that was really necessary. I was very impressed by the smoothness of the application and how well the glitters placed themselves. Most of my experience with jelly glitters has been a frustrating process of trying to fish glitter out of a bottle after setting the bottle upside down for several minutes and then only get a few pieces. This polish, on the other hand, was an absolute dream to work with.
Individual full size bottles will be $8.50 and mini size bottles will be $5.00

Final Thoughts
My first experience with BEGL was when I purchased the Indie Mani Bunny Box. I was so beyond impressed with the quality, and appearance of Julie's polishes. These polishes are just as, if not even more impressive. The formulas are fantastic, the application is easy and smooth, and the colors...well you can see how gorgeous the colors are. I highly recommend these polishes, BEGL offers something for everyone whether you like metallics, holographic polishes, jelly, cremes, you name it she offers it. You will not be disappointed.I hope you enjoyed the swatches of these lovely polishes, and found the review useful. I am providing links below to BEGL social media channels so that you can find swatches of the other polishes she will be releasing, be sure to check them out. Thank you for stopping by, see you next time.
