picture polish autumn (collaboraton shade)

today i am showing another picture polish collaboration shade, autumn.

autumn was created with alena behind the polishing life blog. the shade is something i wished for a long time: a medium orange with scattered holo particles.

even though it is jelly, the formula is rich and consistent. it is vibrant, but not crazy. definitely a perfect polish for me!

picture polish alive (collaboration)

(a)live is a part of picture polish collaboration shades collection back in 2015.

(a)live is a very unique and interested shade, a combo of a dirty pink/muted fuchsia, with magenta hexagonal glitter and holo shimmer. it was created by french blogger, sois polish, and the inspiration was the pearl jam song.

i like that it's not a strong pink, but a nice shade suitable for every season. it has a solid coverage and application.

picture polish sage (collaboration shade)

here comes yet another picture polish collaboration shade, and this time, it is the gorgeous sage.

sage was created back in 2018 with LakoDom, and how this shade came to life is a bit misterious: "riginally created to be something different however during the development process was born and to beautiful not to bring to life."

it is as close to a real deal sage as it could be: a light, muted green, almost like a sea foam, with holo flakes. it has a jelly-like consistency, but the colour really builds up nicely.

picture polish lagoon (collaboration shade)

lagoon was one of my first picture polishes, it was a part of my second ever order. i knew i wanted one of quite a few blues, but it was so hard to choose one. in the end, lagoon was the one that looked the most interesting to me.

lagoon is creation of sam from great blog called fashion polish. their desription: "lagoon is a turquoise jelly holo (scattered) with a subtle smattering of ariel green glitter."

i am completely in love with this shade. the base color is amazing, the scattered holo particles give it a bling, but what i love the most is the turquoise hex glitter that looks buried in the bottom layer. even though it's jelly, the opacity is amazing. what's weird, i think i love it even more in the shade.

picture polish aquatic (collaboration shade)

aquatic was created in 2019 as another edition in picture polish collaboration range.


aquatic was created together with vlogger sepswep. inspiration was "the beauty of cold arctic ocean and its deep and mysterious waters".  it is a dark, deep teal with holo flakes. it is a jelly, which gives it that kind-of-transparent but still opaque look.

i am torn when it comes to jellies. it is a complete disaster in some polishes, but it looks amazing in others. luckily, this one is the latter. it is even better as a jelly, as the holo particles pop out more.

picture polish escapades (collaboration shade)

 it's time for  another picture polish collaboration shade, and i chose escapades created with the idea of malene from nail escapades blog.



i knew  that i can't miss this one, because i love having teal on my nails. escapades is a really dark teal, but still far from black.

it is a highly saturated jelly, with amazing holo particles that really fit well with the dark teal. formula is great, it really flows nicely. i highly recommend this polish.

picture polish dandelion (collaboration shade)

dandelion first appeared in summer 2017 in picture polish collaboration shade line, together with cozy. it was created by laublm

dandelion is a thing of beauty. in laura's words: "my inspiration has been my father and the present nature where I live in Spain, my memories with him of childhood and all his love for nature. If I blew a dandelion to ask for a wish it would be him…" it is a medium, calm green with scattered holo effect. 

it is a bit on the sheer side, but two ticker coats do the job. it is such a gorgeous shade, unusual but somehow delicate.

picture polish sun flower (collaboration shade)

with the last glimpses of sun before the gloom and doom start, it is time for something fun, and sun flower for sure is fun. it was made by picture polish with collaboration with russian blogger de briz.


sun flower was released in spring 2016 together with salt water, and they are really a good couple since they have the same holo flakey particles. these are one of my favourite effects in a nail polish.

the shade itself is a strange shade of yellow, really sunflower-like. it also dries more dark than in the bottle. the formula is more crelly than creme, and it looks gorgeous. i know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure is mine!

picture polish freya's cats (collaboration shade with nihrida)

i love picture polish collaboration shade, and today is the time for freya's cats made together with nihrida back in 2013.


i can't have enough of blue holos, so i couldn't resist freya's cats. they describe it as an electric blue nail polish that also features dazzling holo flakes.

the blue in this one is almost electric, and even though it's jelly, it has good coverage with two coats. the holo particles are of the scattered type, dense and give a really good effect.

picture polish rose (collaboration shade)

picture polish rose is yet another collaboration shade, this time with a german instragrammer, @cottonconey, and it was released in 2016.

rose is described as "cerise pink nail polish colour has holo flakes and captures the beauty of flowers". i am not that into pink polishes in general, but this one caught my eye. it is lively, with their standard silvery scattered holo effect.

the formula is standardly great, as usual.

picture polish sisters (collaboration shade)

sisters goes back to 2016 batch of picture polish collaboration shades. it was made in collab with nail polish society


this polish is quite unique, even in this world where it feels like we've seen it all. it is described as  "purple-brown holographic nail polish with holo flakes that glimmer in direct sunlight".

it is not an easy shade to describe. it is an interesting mixture of grey, purple and brown, with added picture polish's signature holo flakies. it's an earthy neutral, and even though it gives sweater weather vibes, it is for all seasons.

picture polish unicorn (collaboration shade by brit nails)

one of my favorite picture polish purchases is a collaboration shade, unicorn.



this shade is made in collaboration with the blog brit nails. it is a really interesting polish, the base colour is a soft, blue leaning turquoise, enriched with pink and silver glitter.

there is a slight bumpiness because of the chunky glitter, but it is not overwhelming and it is actually interesting. the first layer is a bit sheer, but it builds up nicely with the second.

picture polish fantasy (collaboration shade)

fantasy is yet another in my huge collaboration shade collection from picture polish. fantasy was created in 2018, with the now defunct simpy polish blog.


fantasy is decribed as a dark berry plum, with a scattering holo effect. as other polishes of this type, it is a nicely saturated jelly, with good coverage with two coats. it is gorgeous and a bit vampy, but with a twist.

picture polish dragonfly (collaboration shade)

today i am showing dragonfly, that was made in the picture polish collaboration with lucy's stash.

it didn't take more than one look at my nails to start calling this polish one of my favourites. it is a beautiful tealish green, with amazing tiny but dense holo particles. it is truly magical, no matter if you are indoors or outdoors.

formula is great, and it dries smoothly. seriously, get one!

picture polish ultra violence (collaboration shade)

i seriously can't believe that this polish came out in 2013, but here we are. today, i am showing ultra violence from picture polish collaboration shade range.

ultra violence was created by lab muffin. it has an amazing purple base, with magenta hexagonal glitter and purple shimmer. 

it is very pretty and i like the idea, just wish it was slighlty more pigmented. you get the full coverage with two coats, but it feels like a bit more would be perfect.

picture polish serenity (collaboration)

it is clear from the first glance, that serenity is the product of a picture polish collaboration, this time with polished peripherals, whose inspiration for it was lavander, and i stole the first photo from her (weirdly, there are no promo bottles pictures to be found).

the base colour is a gorgeous sea green shade, with blurple square glitter and a subtle lavander haze. it is a very unique and pretty polish.

the formula is solid, and it is not fully packed with glitter, so i recommend shaking the bottle a bit before the application.

picture polish forest (collaboration shade)

i am a huge fan of picture polish collaboration shades, because they are always fun and unusual colours, not the ones you can find in your regular drugstore. forest is one of those beauties, created  in autumn 2017 with lacquertech.


forest is such an interesting green shade, described as "warm green jelly with scattered yellow and holo flakes". i really love the choice of green and yellow glitter, it really makes this polish special, together with little holo particles, that are probably not that visible on a gloomy day.

it is a jelly, so the coverage is not your full-on 100%, but i love the look. it needs a good top coat to level it out and give it a glossy look, so that the end result is perfect.

picture polish karma (collaboration shade)

i am a huge fan of picture polish collaboration line, and karma was made with probably the most famous nail polish blogger, sveta sanders, back in 2015. 

karma is described as "a dark purple holographic nail polish with holo flakes". it is a perfect eggplant-purple type of shade, vampy and moody. it dries smoothly, and the scattered holo effect gives it even more depth.

picture polish cyan (collaboration shade)

it's time for another super oldie. it is another picture polish collaboration shade called cyan.

i guess that by now everyone in the polish universe is familiar with picture polish's concept to collaborate with bloggers and create some truly unique polishes. my choice for today, cyan, was created with the help of the chit chat nails blog back in 2014.

the colour is so gorgeous and fresh. it is is a light blue/turquoise highly pigmented jelly, with scattered holo particles. the base colour is just slightly lighter than for fool's gold. i am simply in love with it.

picture polish fresh (collaboration)

well well, we are approaching the end of summer (if  we can even call it summer in 2020), so i had to go with something.. fresh! so here it is, picture polish collaboration shade fresh, from 2018.


god, this polish is pretty. it is a bright lime green, not super blinding, but just the right amount of neon. 

there are some holographic flakies visible in the bottle, but are definitely drowned on nails. if nothing, they are helping the formula, because it is flowing nicely, like it's not a neon, crelly polish.
