Hello Lovelies! Happy (very late) Caturday! At least it's still Saturday here....

I meant to have this post up much sooner today, but since there's always something going on around here, that just didn't happen. But here I am now, with some Epic goodness to share.

I'm sure by now you've all seen me doing the happy dance over the Polish TBH's Fall Collection. It's a 6 polish collection inspired by Harry Potter, and aptly named "Diagon Alley" (Did he say Diagonally? I think he said Diagonally!").  Lemme tell ya, in true Polish TBH form, this collection is epic. It's rockin' my socks, loves!

The first polish I have to show you is Amortentia. Named after the potion that is "the strongest love potion in the world", Amortentia is a mix of Rosy Pink, Grey, various sizes of white, and scattered holo microglitters in a clear base.  Although this polish matches the potion perfectly, I was not able to smell anything related to my partner (past, present, or future) in this. ;)

This is 1 coat of Amortentia over Essence Ballerina's Charm. **Click to view larger, sharper image. Blogger is not playing nicely with my photos lately!**

I absolutely love how soft this glitter is. It's absolutely stunning and eye-catching while still retaining a softer, more feminine feel. The holo in this polish was a bit camera shy, but is very evident IRL.

Gratuitous Macro Shot!

Amortentia's formula is true Polish TBH awesomesauce. Chrissy's formula is never less than stellar. Application was easy peasy, although I did use the dab method with this one since the larger glitters aren't as prevalent as the micro-holo. Very easy dab application though - it took maybe 3 or pats of the brush to cover the entire nail, no fishing required, and the glitters all stayed put and lay flat right away. Dry time was incredibly fast and wear is excellent. I'm still wearing this (and staring at it often) and despite whacking my hands against the table, the fridge, countertops and opening boxes, I don't have  single loose glitter.

Amortentia is definitely a new favorite for me. I love the colors, the glitter mix, and even though Chrissy mentioned she would be adding more glitter to this one, I actually dig that it's not absolutely packed with glitter. It gives the micro-holo a chance to shine and enhances your base color without being overpowering. With or without more glitter, this polish is a classic beauty and I'll be reaching for it often.

The Diagon Alley Collection is now available for pre-order at Polish TBH on Big Cartel. Full size polishes run $10, save for Sorcerer's Stone which is $12 (it's a thermal!). The entire collection is also available as a set for $55 Full Size or $22 mini. Follow Polish TBH on Facebook and Instagram for updates!

How do you like Amortentia? Are you excited to see the rest of this awesome collection?

I'll be back with the next polish fro Diagon Alley tomorrow! I'll also have a bonus post with some Cinema Swatch Lacquers for ya!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
