Hello Lovelies! Happy Wednesday! I'm a touch behind (again....I'm getting used to this) since I received some horrible news from my family in England yesterday. I will not go into it here since I feel it is deeply personal and my family needs their privacy during this incredibly hard time.

Anyway, I will have a Mish Mash Manicure for you all today, however I'm starting the day off with a brand new Indie Brand! I live for finding new and awesome Indie Brands, and this one really stood out to me.

Cinema Swatch Lacquers is a new Indie polish brand focused on Movie themed lacquers. Their first collection centers around The Wizard of Oz, which I find a very fitting entrance. I was lucky enough to receive 4 polishes from this collection to share with you, and all of them are just beautiful. SO let's take a look at my first Cinema Swatch Lacquers polish!

Emerald City Gates boasts a fabulous Olive toned green base packed with emerald, gold, and sapphire micro-glitter. This baby screams Emerald City to me, and makes me want to pull out the movie and grab some popcorn.

This is 3 coats with top coat:








Yowza! I think it's fair to say that this polish is gorgeous! I love a good green, and those microglitters add just the right touch of sparkle. Definitely one of my favorite greens. In fact, I can see myself reaching for this often - I do love those Olive toned greens!

Emerald City Gates' formula is incredibly impressive. I'll be honest- when trying out a brand spankin' new Indie, I don't expect a flawless formula or great application. There's a bit of a learning curve with making polish (so I hear - I'm not talented or patient enough to give it a go myself), but Emerald City Gates hit the mark right out of the gate (pun intended?)! Consistency was lovely - thick enough for great coverage yet thin enough to flow nicely, and I did not have any thickening during use. Application was wonderful as well with no dragging or balding. In fact, this polish flowed onto the nail like liquid silk. ECG is a touch sheer, so you will need 2-3 coats for opacity (I used 3 for intensity). Dry time was incredibly fast, and wear was excellent with no signs of wear at 36 hours.

Talk about an impressive start! Cinema Swatch Lacquers has definitely hit the ground running. I was so impressed with this polish that I literally could not stop showing anyone and everyone who would bother to look. I mean, I have polish from established brands that don't have a formula this good. Same for application. This is definitely a brand to watch. I have 3 more pretties from Cinema Swatch Lacquers to share with you over the coming week or so, and I cannot wait.

You can check out Cinema Swatch Lacquers and the Wizard of Oz debut Collection at Cinema Swatch on Etsy. Polishes run $5 for 7.5ml, or you can grab the entire 6 polish collection for $25. Be sure to follow Cinema Swatch Lacquers on Instagram for updates, giveaways, swatches, sales info and more.

What do you think of Emerald City Gates? Isn't this a flippin' awesome polish?

I'll be back later on with another Mish Mash Challenge manicure! Tomorrow brings more Polish TBH awesomeness and I have some Squishy Face Polish and more Cinema Swatch Lacquers coming your way soon.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
