Review: Cults Nail Tempest & Blaze (2nd Anniversary Collection)

Last year, I caught nail polish frenzy. I have been a nail polish hoarding mess ever since. And it certainly doesn't help that I met Maria from Cult Nails and have become a loyal "cultie" either. To celebrate the brand's 2nd anniversary, Cult Nails released three new shades: Tempest (a full-coverage white), Blaze (a beautiful copper/gold fine glitter), and Fetish (wax finish black). Since I don't use too much black polish, I only picked up Tempest and Blaze from the new collection.

I have a white nail polish from Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear (or whatever it's called), but it peels right off my nails with a day. I knew that a Cult Nails white would last a lot longer on my nails, so I knew Tempest was a must-buy. I'm sporting a manicure with both Tempest and Blaze (and Manipulative), and Tempest has stayed on without a chip so far for the past four days. All Cult Nails polishes last at least a week on my nails, without any chipping. Tempest is almost a one-coat white, but I recommend two. Since it is so pigmented, it's a bit on the thicker side, but is not goopy or hard to apply.

Blaze, on the other hand, is just a super amazing glitter. It applied evenly, and is semi-opaque in two coats. In the swatches below, I have on two coats. With three coats, I imagine it will be fully opaque. This looks super awesome layered over Tempest, and I'm looking forward to layering it on top of a black nail polish as well. It isn't thick, and applies smoothly.

Each shade retails for $12.00, and is available on the Cult Nails website. I urge you to check them out! These are so perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. I'm already wearing them around the clock!
