Dystopia Nail Polish - 12 Days of Christmas Collection

*AD - Gifted*
Hello! Today I have the Dystopia Nail Polish 12 Days of Christmas Collection to share. These release today (30th November) at 7pm. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the daily shade reveals of all of the polishes. Now that the last one has been revealed, I figured I'd post the full collection on here. There are a lot of different colours and finishes, so let's get stuck in!

'A Partridge in a Pear Tree' is a green to brown multichrome. The brown pulls fairly red on my nails, which is perfect for festive manicures. Below is two coats with topcoat.

I used this one for a Christmas tree mani, stamping using an image from UberChic Beauty Holiday Jingle plate.

'Two Turtle Doves' is a turquoise glitter with added bright orange glitters. Due to the amount of glitter, this does dry down slightly textured. It is pretty opaque in two coats, but I did add a third to add more glitter. Below is three coats without topcoat.

The texture is easily smoothed with topcoat. Below is three coats with topcoat.

As soon as I saw this polish in the bottle, I knew I wanted to use it for a snowflake mani. I settled on another image from the Uberchic Beauty Holiday Jingle plate, stamping over each nail in silver.

'Three French Hens' is an orange base with golden flecks. The base is more on the jelly side so starts off sheer, but builds up well. The gold flecks stand out really nicely on the nail. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Four Calling Birds' is a black base with silver, blue, and violet holographic glitter. This one is opaque in two, though I did add a third to deepen the base colour slightly. Below is three coats with topcoat.

For this one, I went for something a bit different - a nativity themed look. I stamped various images from UberChic Beauty plate Christmas-01 using a white stamping polish.

'Five Gold Rings' is a sparkly gold made up of tiny gold microflakes. This one builds up nicely, and is super reflective and shiny. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Being so sparkly and shiny, this one screamed Christmas lights to me. I stamped a lights image from UberChic Beauty Holiday Jingle in green, colouring in the bases using 'Three French Hens'.

'Six Geese A-Laying' is a clear based topper with various black, white, and silver holographic glitters. I used this as a topper over 'Three French Hens'. Below shows one coat layered over the top, with topcoat.

This was another one I had nail art planned for as soon as I saw it in the bottle. Using red and green stamping polishes, I created a holly berry mani. All images are from UberChic Beauty plate Christmas-02.

'Eight Maids A-Milking' is a cobalt blue with various sizes of gold holographic glitter. The base of this is made up of lots of tiny little blue flecks packed together for full opacity. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Nine Ladies Dancing' is a soft pink with a white shimmer. This one is lovely and delicate. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Being such a soft, pretty colour, I used this one for a knitted jumper look. I used Creative Shop plate 36 and Painted Polish 'Stamped in Sugar'.

'Ten Lords A-Leaping' is a sheer purple base with a bright flash of blue shimmer. This one doesn't build up to be completely opaque in three coats, but with the shimmer distracting from any nail line, you can easily get away with it!

I used this one for a present themed mani. I used images from UberChic Beauty Christmas-02 and Barry M Silver Foil.

'Eleven Pipers Piping' is a green jelly base with silver holographic flakes. These are the kind of crushed flakies that popped up in a few polishes a couple of years back, they do have a bit of texture to them but are so sparkly! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Sara has added a little disclaimer with this polish - 'Please be aware that this polish has a textured finish due to the holo flakes. Adding two coats of glossy topcoat should help smooth it down. Despite this I really like these flakes as they are super holo!'.

'Twelve Drummers Drumming' is a red base with tiny gold micro flakes. Though tiny, the flakes show up really well on the nail. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Lastly for nail art, I settled on a mix and match patterned image from UberChic Beauty Christmas-02, and stamped in a foil gold to match the flakes.

What do you think? I love the range of colours and finishes throughout this collection, there's something for everyone. Are there any particular polishes that have caught your eye? There's a few favourites for me, but my favourite nail art has to be the holly berries - there's just something about them!

The full 12 Days of Christmas Collection launches at 7pm tonight (30th November) on the Dystopia Nail Polish website here. Each polish is £6, except for 'Six Geese A-Laying', which is £5.

Hope to see you in the next post!
