Essie released the Limited Edition Intergalactic Metals Collection in the U.S. in November 2019. This collection (minus the blue and pink) was actually released overseas in 2017. The Intergalactic Metals Collection consists of 6 beautiful metallic polishes ranging from pink and blue to silver and gold. The collection is exclusive to http://www.cvs.com. Read on to find out my faves from the collection!!
Wishing on a Star
Wow!!! This polish is a stunner. This is a one coater. I have nothing like this beautiful blue in my collection! This polish glows, and the formula is like butter! Essie describes this as a “cool, steel cobalt…with an icy appearance.” That’s the perfect description! This polish could totally be called “Frozen.” I love it!
Reflection Perfection
Next up is “Reflection Perfection,” a soft rose gold polish. I feel like this also has a little bit of a bronze tone to it, so it’s not pure rose gold. Again though, perfect formula.
Out of this World
“Out of this World” is a “galactic gunmetal with lilac undertones.” I did 2 coats here, but definitely is a one coater. I think this one is pretty similar to Gadget Free, but with a little less shimmer.
In My Orbit
“In My Orbit” is a “palladium silver metallic” per Essie. This is a one coat wonder, and it absolutely glows. If you have “No Place Like Chrome” you may think that you don’t need this one, but you do. This is a much brighter polish that applies like butter!
Space Out
THIS polish though!! This is “Space Out,” a beautiful metallic magenta. This is a one coat wonder. In fact, this photo is one coat and no topcoat. Simply stunning.
Stars Aligned
This last polish is called “Stars Aligned,” a beautiful yellow gold. This is the shade of gold I absolutely love. Warm toned golds go so well with so many different skin tones. This is 2 coats plus Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat.
So what are your overall thoughts on this collection? I love it. My faves are “Wishing on a Star” and “Space Out” for sure. “Wishing on a Star” is so bright and beautiful. It’s the perfect icy blue for winter. “Space Out” made me say ‘Wow’ out loud as soon as I swatched it. Those two are both must haves! The other 4 polishes are beautiful as well. They all glow, so even if you have some of the earlier metallics from Essie, these are worth it. They apply so smooth. Great formula. Perfect.
