Earthy Nail Polish - Swatches & Nail Art

*AD - Gifted*
Hi lovelies! Today I have a couple of polishes to share with you from UK brand Earthy Nail Polish. This is a new brand to me personally, and is the sister brand of Mother Nailture (another brand I have yet to try). All of their polishes are plant based, of natural origin, bio-sourced, and completely vegan. They also have the cutest (and sustainable!) bamboo caps that are naturally antibactieral and antimicrobial. I was sent three polishes to have a play with - read on for my full swatches, some nail art, and more info!

I'll start by addressing the formula before I jump into the individual swatches. I found all three of the polishes beautifully smooth and easy to apply. They have a wide brush which I do massively prefer, as I find it makes application easier. They self levelled nicely, and were nicely opaque. I'll get into the coats needed for each shade below.

Started us off is 'Distressed Damson', a bold saturated purple creme. This was almost a one coater for me, and I think you could easily get away with a slightly thicker, carefully applied coat. I added a quick second to even the colour out fully. Below is two coats with topcoat.

I added some pretty layered flowers over the top using Earthy shades 'Pink Jasmin' and 'Nailture Green', and images from Clear Jelly Stamper plate Baby Bugs and Bees (CJS-10). I wish I'd added a matte topcoat to reduce the shine on the flowers - maybe next time!

Next up is 'Nailture Green', a sage green creme. I found this one slightly sheerer than the other two on the first coat, but it still applied super smoothly and built up easily with a quick second. Below is two coats with topcoat.

For this one, I decided to go with a dry brush mani. I drybrushed both 'Distressed Damson' and 'Pink Jasmin' over the top which gave me the base below.

I then stamped some white flowers over the top using an image from Lina Nail Art Supplies plate Make Your Mark 01.

Finally, 'Pink Jasmin' is a soft neutral pink creme. As expected for this sort of shade, it did start out slightly streaky to begin with. It evened out pretty well on the second coat, but I did add a third to make sure it was entirely streak free for photographs. Below is three coats with topcoat.

For my last nail art look for these polishes, I had a play around to see if they would watermarble well. I used room temperature boiled water as I find this works best for me. Thankfully, the polishes spread out nicely and worked really well! 'Nailture Green' didn't stand out quite as well as the other two colours once on the nail, but here is the final marble.

What do you think? I'm very impressed with my first impression of Earthy Nail Polish, and look forward to trying some more of their polishes in the future. I love a creme polish, especially for nail art, and now I know they watermarble too!

You can find all three polishes mentioned, along with lots more, on the Earthy Nail Polish website here. Each polish retails for £7.99, although there are also discounted sets available.
