I received 4 beauties from Ellisons Organics that I can't wait to show you! 
The colors I received are:
~ Husky Purple 
~ Happy Birthday, Mr. President
~ Sky's the Limit
~ Mermaid's Tale 

First up is Husky Purple!

Warning this post is pic heavy.
The high school I graduated from mascot was a husky, which besides art and English class was the only things I liked about them. I really love this color its a nice purple with some pink shine and when you look close up you can see tiny flakies.

I had no issues with staining with this color, it dried quickly without issues. I used 3 coats topped with HK girl top coat.

 When matted it brings out the pink even more.

I used Happy Birthday Mr President over Husky Purple.

This is just one coat! Its plentiful with glitters and no fishing required. I do recommend a good top coat since there is so much glitter to help smooth this out. I used no top coat in the image above. You can get full opacity in 2-3 coats. This polish I assume is inspired by Marilyn Monroe but the store doesn't say. The base is not super thick and doesn't take long to dry. This makes a great glitter topper, accent nail, or worn on its own.

  Sky's the Limit is my 2nd favorite from the 4 I was sent. It is a shimmery light blue color that almost leans metallic. Depending on the lighting this color takes on a few different shades. I used 3 coats and then later stamped with wet n wild black creme.

This is room lighting with stamping. I wanted to go for a leopard print since I had never used it before.
This color reminded me of the new Sally Hansen Color foils. I don't have many polishes with a shimmer finish or even close to this gorgeous color and I am happy to be able to add it to my collection.

Mermaid's Tale was a color I was excited about when I first saw it. I love the aqua color applied to the base and all the gorgeous glitters. I decided to pair it with a color I thought it would look good over and to do a nail on its own. The problem I found though was I could not get it to dry. I tried to use my nail dryer and even let it sit for an hour but still in the end it was squishy. I ended up painting the same nail about 5 times before giving up. I went back at it the next day using a different nail and different base coat in case that was the issue but still the base would not dry. I also had issues getting the glitters out and had to fish a lot. After all the work I did to just get one nail done I didn't add any on top of the other color and left it as a accent nail. The only way I got it to dry enough to take a picture of was to slap on some HK girl top coat which was dry enough after about 15 mins. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or if my chemistry just didn't work with mermaid's tale, but I wanted to let you know the issues I had with it. I used 3 coats in the pictures below with no top coat. I do love the glitter so much that I will be using this for glitter placement since the base doesn't dry on me.
