Paint Box Polish Ciao, Gelato Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Good morning! Today I have a brand new collection from Paint Box Polish that is releasing TODAY! Check out swatches of this Italian dessert-inspired collection and remember to use EHMKAY for 15% off your order. I am very obsessed with this collection, and I took pictures in different lighting, so let's get to it!

Paint Box Polish Ciao, Gelato Collection Swatches and Review



****Before I begin, I wanted to mention what I mean when I say 2-3 or 3-4 coats. I have very bright nails (my actual nail is very white) and 2 coats was perfectly fine in person, but in photos, my nail line was visible. The lesser number is completely acceptable IN PERSON, but if you were to closely photograph your nails like I did for today, one more coat may be needed. Photos are in this order: 1. Artificial Lighting 2. Direct Sun. 3. Shade.


Pusheen the Cat had to get involved. If you mention sweets, she is running to get!

Frutti di Bosco: 2-3 coats. I actually get this flavor every time I go to an Italian spot a few blocks away. It has all the fruits of the forest:blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. It's a pinky purple shade that is juicy and wonderful.

Puffo: 2 coats. Apparently this is a flavor that is like bubble gum or cotton candy. I must have missed it when I went to Italy, but I wish I tried it (I hate bubble gum but love cotton candy). It's a smurf-like blue that can look a little neon. It's bright, but pastel. Love it!

Ananas: 3-4 coats. This is a pineapple shade of yellow. Again, as I mentioned above, 3 coats will suffice but for photos, I did 4.  I really love yellow polishes. I don't have many but this one is just so right!

Bacio: 2 coats. Milk chocolate for your nails, which is appropriate since it is named for the chocolate treat that is frequently a gelato. So buttery. The formula is wonderful.

Melone: 3-4 coats. This really is exactly cantaloupe. It's like a fresh fruit cantaloupe smoothie that I want to drink. It is quite possible the palest orange I have ever seen and I love it.

Pistacchio: 3 coats.  To me, this is the green version of Melone. Just the right amount of paleness and it is so delicious on my nails. I love this and pistachio flavored things.

Fragola: 2 coats. This is the strawberry gelato and this pink is really fabulous.  Two east coats. And really, one sufficed if I were in a rush. Wonderful formula for a pink like this.

Stracciatella: 2 coats. The one non-creme/crelly, this is the vanilla gelato with chocolate shards. It's perfectly opaque in two coats. Wear time? I wore this for SIX days with no chip while I was on vacation. YES! This is the only polish I couldn't get sun photos for, sorry!

Along with the collection is a very appropriate Amaretto Tiramisu cuticle oil with notes of Amaretto, espresso, cocoa, mascarpone, and Madeira. This will be available in roller ball tubes or brush pens. THIS IS DIVINE AND YOU NEED IT. The end. Seriously. Trust me.
