I only picked up half of this collection for two reasons: I have dupes for each of the colors I left behind, and I'm just not fond of the shades. I've purchased enough polish to know what I like; it's time to quit buying colors I'll never wear just because they complete the collection.
Anyway, this collection was so hyped, I feel a lot of us were let down when the first swatches of these popped up. However, don't pass on the Bohemians until you've seen them in person. You may be surprised.
China Glaze Unpredictable shifts from green to teal to gold. Its main color is shown in the flash picture, which is a goldy green.
China Glaze Deviantly Daring shifts from blue to aqua with a touch of gold. It's almost like a deeper, more vibrant version of Unpredictable. It's such a stunner.
China Glaze Swanky Silk shifts from rose gold to golden green. The color dupes both Nails Inc. Stratford and Deborah Lippmann Sugar Daddy. There are difference in the finishes, though. Don't worry, you'll see them in a Purge Wars battle soon enough. :)
The formula on these is nice. I had no application issues even though the consistency of these is on the thin side. I never clean up my manis, so you can usually tell how much trouble I had applying the polish based on how neat my gap is. The brushstrokes are not obvious at all in person once the polish dries. Also, my Deviantly Daring brush was quite frayed, so watch out for wonky brushes when purchasing these.
These shades definitely are not the strongest duos out there, but they are the cheapest and most accessible at the moment. If you haven't yet experienced the awesomeness of the multichromes by Ozotic, Hits, etc., these might be enough for you. Personally, I think weaker duos have their place in the np world and shouldn't be disregarded just because they're not up to par with 505 and the like.
Right now, the Bohemian collection is available at Head2Toe and other etailers. Sally Beauty will probably put it out early August.
Anything from this collection catching your eye? If not, what collection are you most enjoying or looking forward to?
