ÜNT Cosmetics - Sun Envy Set It Free Collection (& Nail Art)

*AD - Gifted*
Hello lovelies! Today I'm back with another review for ÜNT Cosmetics, this time for their Sun Envy polishes. If you missed my review of their Fantasy Peelable range, you can find that post here. Sun Envy is ÜNT's take on gel effect polish, activated/cured by natural light, and claiming to be quick dry, and high shine (more specifically, to give a 7-day gel like shine). They sent me the entire Set It Free collection to share with you. Like before, I've also done some nail art using the polishes. Read on to see everything in full and for more info!

As always, I'll address the formula now before getting into the individal swatches. They were all super smooth and easy to apply. They dry down quickly, but not too quick that they don't self level on the nail. I found that once I'd painted all of my nails, I could go straight back in with a second coat. I was also sent the Sun Envy topcoat to use alongside the polishes, which also applied smoothly, dried quickly, and was super glossy.

'Immortal Charm' (SE125) is a peach creme. I had a couple of streaks on the second coat, so added a third. Below is three coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

I decided on a picnic vibe mani for this one. I stamped a plaid pattern from Harounata plate L010, and added sunflowers using an image from UberChic Beauty plate 1-02.

'Kiss Goodbye' (SE115) is a pink-toned nude creme. Below is two coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

I used this shade as a base for a Winnie the Pooh themed mani. All stamping images used are from Mundo De Unas plate Winnie the Pooh 2.

'Drunk in Style' (SE120) is a deep pink creme. This was on the border of needing two to three coats, and would depend on your application. I applied three to make sure I had a completely streak-free coverage on all nails. Below is three coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

This time round, I created a smoosh. I used 'Immortal Charm', 'Kiss Goodbye', and 'Drunk in Style'. I then stamped an Ikat image from UberChic Beauty The Wild West-01.

'Starry Night' (SE140) is a sheer shimmery purple base with sparkly flecks of purple and gold. This builds up nicely and applies evenly, so you can leave it with less coats if you prefer a more subtle look. Below is three coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

Being super sparkly, I couldn't resist adding unicorns. I stamped an image from Uberchic Beauty Unicorn Love over each nail in silver.

'Head to Dream' (SE135) is a blue creme with a bright blue shimmer. Below is three coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

As soon as I pulled this one out of my parcel, I knew it would be the perfect Cinderella blue so I just had to do a Cinderella mani. I stamped my swirls and Cinderella silhouette from UberChic Beauty plate Fairytale-01, and the slipper wording from Fairytale-02.

'Born this Way' (SE130) is a light sage green creme. This was another one that needs either two or three coats depending on your application. I could have got away with two on a few nails, but needed a third on others for some subtle lighter streaks. Below is three coats topped with the Sun Envy topcoat.

For my last mani, I went with a desert theme. I used Nicole Diary plate 146 and UberChic Beauty Wild West-01.

What do you think? I really enjoyed all six polishes, and it was fun creating different nail art looks for each one. As I mentioned earlier, I found them to be quick drying and all really easy to work with formulas. I would definitely be interested in trying some more in the future!

The full Set It Free collection is available on the ÜNT Cosmetics website here, or the full range of Sun Envy polishes here. You can currently get 20% off if you purchase two or more polishes.

Hope to see you in the next post!
