Are you already thinking about the upcoming holidays?! It’s about that time! Gelish MINI recently launched their Red Matters collection for the 2015 holiday season. This collection contains two new shades of red, and four existing shades. It’s important to note that the Gelish MINI and Gelish PRO holiday collections are different this year. I’ll be covering the Pro version in a separate post in the near future.
Gelish MINI colors can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply online at www.sallybeauty.com, or in retail stores. You can also purchase directly from the Gelish MINI website at www.getgelished.com!
The festive reds in this collection all applied really nicely with great coverage. Each of the swatches that are in this post show two coats of polish. Let’s first take a peek at the two new shades.
Man of the Moment is a rich creamy red that’s not too bright and not too dark… I’d say it’s just right!
I’m So Hot is a dark burgundy shade of red with a lush frosty finish. The finish is very similar to Queen of Hearts, but the color is several shades darker.
Now onto existing shades from the Gelish line. Even though I’ve already swatched each of these colors previously, I took the time to re-do them for this post.
Queen of Hearts has always been one of my favorite reds because of its gorgeous frosty finish.
Good Gossip is another Gelish favorite with its super sparkly glittery finish. This is a hot color for the holidays every year! Good Gossip looks great layered over darker colors as well.
Life of the Party is one of the glittery Gelish Trends polishes. It has a sheer base with a red tint and is loaded with red glitter of all sizes. The swatch below shows two coats with no base color underneath. It’s a little sheer and sometimes glitter polishes don’t like to adhere to the tips. I think this would look great with a creamy red base layer underneath such as Hot Rod Red or Man of the Moment.
And finally… Hot Rod Red. This is another classic color, and one of the brighter reds available.
As promised, I’ll have swatches of the Pro Red Matters collection for you very soon. That collection consists of six new red shades including Man of the Moment and I’m So Hot, along with three other colors (a pearl shimmer, a shimmery green, and silver).
