6 polishes

A collection inspired by the Care Bears

Harmony

Alright so…both the warm and cool states are colors known to show up inaccurately on camera. So having them together in one polish was a challenge I was NOT ready for. I don’t know how it’s showing up for you on your screen, but I would describe the cold state as a warm medium purple, and the warm state as a warm lilac pink. Once I stopped despairing over it looking too purple on my computer while looking too pink on my phone, I was able to acknowledge that it is really quite cute on the nails.

Sophie (the maker) notes that it is a good idea to shake the bottle before application, since the tint used can settle a bit. My bottle did come with some noticeable darker streaks of purple, so I do recommend shaking a bit, which also helps smooth out the formula for easier application.

Coldheart

Coldheart is a pale baby blue base with blue-violet shimmer and tiny silver microflakes. The shimmer is not very strong, but it adds nice dimension. The formula on this one really didn’t want to self-level, so I had to be extra-careful with application. A good top coat will also help smooth everything over for a nice final appearance.

Wish

FF describes the base color as a green that leans slightly teal, but it honestly looks more like a warm blue to me. Next to Coldheart, the color does look more green, but when I just looked at my hand on its own I would describe it as blue. There is also a very soft linear holographic effect and a soft scattering of iridescent red microflakes.

Funshine

So cute! Funshine is a golden/mustard/tan kind of base with loads of green/blue/purple glass-fleck type shimmer. It also has subtle holo but it’s a bit hard to spot. I’m so in love with this kind of shimmer, and the base color serves as a great neutral on my skin! Definitely a shade to check out on a swatcher with a skin tone as close to yours as possible.

Daydream

Daydream is a sheer base with lots of blue/purple shifting shimmer and holographic glitters in various sizes. This feels like a very classic FF finish. Really glitzy and sparkly!

True Heart

And a cute white crelly to round out the collection! True Heart is a white base with various colored glitters scattered within. It was only when viewing my macros that I saw the little yellow glitters…they’re not very apparent in real life. I think only the copper glitters are metallic. The other glitters look matte.

3 coats + 2 coats of top coat

Sophie described this set as being really soft, pretty, and feminine, and I agree with this characterization. Since I don’t really do pastels, the overall color palette isn’t really my taste, but I do love Funshine. I always adore a fun twist added to a neutral base, and the foil-type shimmer in Funshine is one of my favorite types of shimmer.
