Crystal Dreams Collection

Hey guys! Tonight I have a long post for you, because I'm showing you swatches from the new Sayuri Nail Lacquer collection Crystal Dreams. I'm so glad that I can finally show you these, because it explains my blogging absence of late. Creating polish is time consuming you know!? Let's get stuck into it before I start rambling...


Galaxy Magic
Galaxy Magic is a clear based glitter topper packed with large black dots, black rectangles, and small hex glitters in black, neon pink, neon blue, neon green, and neon yellow (all the neons!). The rectangle glitters apply just like hex glitters, so haters of bar glitter need not fear!

One coat over Essie 'Blanc' with top coat


Neo Plasma
Neo Plasma consists of a white crelly base packed with neon green, watermelon pink, grape, and lavender hexes with a fine holo shimmer. A mixture of neon and pastel in one!

Two coats with top coat


Clouded Skies
Clouded Skies is a creme polish, a first for Sayuri but it definitely won't be the last. A blue polish with a grey undertone and a silver shimmer, this is a perfect choice for beginners and polish addicts alike, opaque in two coats.

Two coats with top coat


Crystalline
A baby pink jelly polish with a neon undertone packed with iridescent hexes of different sizes. This one can be built up in 3 coats or layered over another pink polish (recommended if your nails are a bit stained like mine!), or one coat can be applied for a work-appropriate mani with a touch of sparkle.

Two coat over A England 'Iseult' with top coat


Candied Visions
Candied Visions is a mint green creme polish with a linear holographic effect. Make sure you wear this one in the sunlight to experience it's magic! I recommend wearing this one without a top coat as some top coats can dull the holographic effect.

Three coats, no top coat


Sugar Coated Dreams
The second glitter topper in the collection, Sugar Coated Dreams contains no less than 10 different glitters. There's white and aqua stars, candy pink dots, and hex glitters of different sizes in lavender, aqua, white, candy pink, and pastel yellow. A subtle white shimmer in the base adds a little extra magic.

One coat over Essie 'Bikini So Teeny' with top coat


Psychadelia
The final polish in the collection, Psychadelia is a black based polish filled with shards that shift from purple to gold (and if you have curvy nails unlike mine it will shift to teal too!). This one will build to opacity in three coats, but to really amplify the duochrome shift I recommend layering it over a black polish.

Three coats over OPI 'Black Onyx' with top coat

And that completes the collection! Which are your favourites? The Crystal Dreams Collection will be available for purchase to those of you in Australia from the Sayuri website from Monday August 5th at 9pm AEST. The Collection will be available internationally from Mei Mei's Signatures (who ship worldwide) within the next fortnight. Fingers crossed that life will calm down for me a little now and blogging can go back to normal!

  1. I haven't purchased any Sayuri polishes, but you're on my to buy list! I'm trying to cut back... but it's proving difficult, ha. I'm loving Candied Visions and Crystalline, and I really, really love Galaxy Magic. :)

    1. Haha I know the feeling! I've just come to terms with the fact that I'm forever going to have to lie about how many polishes I have so that I don't sound insane!

  2. My favorite is Psychadelia -- duochrome polishes are the best! The only problem is that I spend too much time staring and my nails when I wear them :) Great work, these are definitely on my to buy list!
