Cirque Alchemy Collection Swatches, Review & GIVEAWAY!

Sponsored Press Sample
Hello again beauties! I am beyond thrilled to share this post with you today! When these polishes showed up at my doorstep, I just about died. And then when I was swatching them, I died again. This is my first experience using Cirque polishes and will hopefully not be my last! The formula is absolutely incredible and I had ZERO issues with these.

I knew when I sat down to swatch these, I had to take some additional photos in the sun for you guys. The holos and glitters sparkle like no other and my light box just wasn’t going to cut it. I hope you enjoy these swatches and stay tuned to the end to win the FULL collection courtesy of Cirque!

All of these polishes & more can be found at http://www.cirquecolors.com/

Arcane Fire – Deep ruby red with golden shimmer. This could quite possibly be one of the best Fall polishes ever. The application was seamless. Photos below show two coats. 

Baptisia – Shimmering midnight indigo.  This is definitely a ‘blurple’ shade. I actually have no idea where my second photo went off to in the sun, so I will add it in later on. Either way, you can tell it’s absolutely stunning! Photo below shows two coats. 
Chainmail – Gunmetal micro glitter. I have been loving micro glitter polishes lately! Chainmail is absolutely beautiful on it’s own and would probably look even better layered! Photos below show three thin coats. 

Chrysopoeia – Marigold yellow holographic polish. I don’t own anything like this, but I will tell you I want more!  I absolutely love how this looks in the sun! Application was great! Photos below show two coats. 

Ica Valley – Golden micro glitter. This is going to be a perfect topper over red polish to spice up your Holiday manicure! Great application! Photos below show three thin coats. 

Lichen – Golden olive duochrome.  Ugh.. Photos don’t do this justice. It shifts to different shades of green depending on your angle. Flawless application. Photos below show two coats. 

Magnum Opus – Purple charcoal holographic. Can I just say these holos are out of this world!? I did NOT want to take this off – It’s so freaking pretty! Photos below show two coats. 

Mink – Chocolate brown holographic. Here is the sneak peek you saw on facebook! There needs to be more brown holos in the world. I love them! Photos below show two coats.

Stella – Rose gold micro glitter. This one was a little tricky for me. I LOVE Rose gold everything, but no matter how much I shook up the polish, I was getting more base than glitter. I will probably use this one for layering rather than on it’s own! Photos below show three thin coats.

Vectors – Topper made with different shapes & sizes of black glitter.  I layered this over Zoya Jacqueline and I love how it looks! This topper was fairly easy to work with and I had no problems getting the glitter onto the nail! Photo below shows two coats of Jacqueline & 2 coats of Vectors. 
Overall, this is probably hands down my favorite collection right now.  I am over the moon that I had the chance to review & try out Cirque polishes. They are truly amazing, one of a kind and down right gorgeous! 
How would you like to win this entire collection?! You can! Cirque has generously donated a full collection and is open worldwide! (With the exception of Brazil, India, Italy & Russia – She cannot send to those countries. So sorry!)

    I love all of them, but Baptisia is my favorite. Blue is my favorite color, so I’d definitely choose that one for my top pick. They are all gorgeous, though. Thank you for the giveaway!!

    I love Lichen and Magnum Opus! I don’t own enough green shades, and I love the holographic effect of Magnum Opus πŸ™‚

  69. Heather S says

    Chocolate and holo? Oh my… That’s just a nailgasm waiting to happen. I’m already lusting over it.

  70. TropicalChrome says

    Favorite is Baptisia. I don’t care if I have 4 gazillion variants on this color, they’re all so beautiful and I must have more :). (It’s also the color I wear the most!)

  99. Amanda says

    Oh, I can’t even pick one, I love them all!!! I guess maybe I could try to narrow it down to 3…lol Arcane Fire, Chrysopoeia and Magnum Opus! These are just beautiful!!

  101. Carol G says

    Magnum Opus and Stella are my faves – I can’t choose which one I like better. I’m a sucker for both dark holos and light rosey glitter!

  116. Lene says

    The greens in this collection are stunning. I’ve been looking for amazing greens for ages, but not seen any quite like these yet. Fantastic =)

  127. Ashley Bell says

    As I was reading down the page I was trying to choose a favorite.. Then scrolling up and down. I give up. I love them all!

  158. Misty says

    Magnum Opus is my favorite! I don’t own any Cirque NPs (yet) but I have heard amazing things about them!

  179. Amelia Z says

    I got a sample of Chrysopoeia at their Artists & Fleas booth in Williamsburg last month, but I’ve been having dreams about Arcane Fire. Oh my goodness.

  182. Jessica says

    Oh my! The feels, the FEELS, for this collection, especially the holos!! I would have to have Arcane Fire, it would do wonders for a nail look my best girl wants me to do for her father’s wedding soon!!

  192. Kendra Goh says

    MAGNUM OPUS! That metal, grey colour is completely wearable for casual, meet-your-friends-at-school days. The holographic glitters make it so drool-worthy too! It’s just so pretty ^^

  213. Sis1985 says

    If I only pick one it’d have to be Magnum Opus. These holos are amazing! Heck all of these look amazing! For some women it’s shoes or purses for me it’s nail polish! I just simply have no will power when I see a color I like lol!

  239. milliedk5 says

    Not sure which one I love best, they are all just sooooo pretty! But I think the Baptisia (have a weekness for dark blue polish) and the Mink – stunniiiiiing!

  244. milliedk5 says

    Have been trying to create and login to my new Instagram profile, but I can’t login!!! So I’m not cheeting, I just can’t loging to follow! Grrr…

    such beautiful swatches!! Cirque is one of my fave polish brands around, and their collections are always so stunning and satisfyingly cohesive!! I recently picked up Arcane Fire and it is gorgeous. I want Mink and Chrysopoeia next. Marigold holo? Yes please! Great review post – thanks!

  419. Christine R. says

    Holos are starting to become my new obsession. These are definitely going on my wish lists, lol

  429. Kendra W says

    Magnum Opus is definitely my favorite! Don’t have one similar in my collection and I can’t turn down something so sparkly! Thank you for the opportunity!
