Swatch & Review: Tonic Polish - Del-Ishus & Uba Tuba

Tonic Polish Del-Ishus and Uba Tuba
2 new colors releasing from Tonic Polish on March 1st - check them out and decide if you absolutely *need* them, but I already know you will ;)

*Polishes provided as press sample for review*
A brief intro - these two colors were made as group customs for a new Facebook group, it's called "The OG UP" and were released in February, now, they're available for the general purchase to everyone as of March 1.
Tonic Polish  Uba Tuba
Uba Tuba - an aqua-indigo shifting unicorn pee sister topper with glowing, iridescent blue flakies

As you can tell, the bottle doesn't match my nails, and that is because Uba Tuba is a topper and I didn't try to solo this one. My undies are Happy Beginning from Tonic Polish, a cobalt blue jelly that lends itself nicely to a whole bunch of layering combos. I used 1 coat of Uba Tuba over the blue.

If you're expecting the traditional red/gold/green shimmer shift from a UP (unicorn pee) polish, then acquaint yourself with a sister, as you can see in the macro, it's showing aqua! I love that there are other colors out there of this magical pigment. And the possibilities are endless of paring this up. I tried to avoid doing this on black as I figured another swatcher would take care of that, and I was a little desperate to jump on pairing it with blue, and loved the result!

And for the second color..
Tonic Polish Del-Ishus
Del-Ishus - a sheer and juicy red/orange/coral jelly with green to indigo shifting sister UP, a slight scattering of the tiniest silver ultra holo glitters

I think a shot of this bottle is sufficient to add this to your wishlist already, but I'll share the swatches too. This has tricks up its sleeve, stay to the end to see what I mean!

This is 3 coats of Del-Ishus on its own, no undies needed. It's a jelly, so expect some VNL, not so much on shorter nails though :) I'm still nursing a couple extensions from my bad breaks earlier on the year, so I felt a little exposed in a jelly, but got over myself as Del-Ishus is so fun and out the norm for me

So on coat 1, it looked more pinky-coral to me, and I decided to go ahead and test it as a topper and see what we get

Feast your eyes on Del with undies! And now I feel like a perv for going on an on about undies when this polish was named for an actual member of the nail community. I'm so sorry Del, this is just part of the polish lingo!

This is Del-Ishus in just one coat over white and black.  The green to indigo shift really shows up well over black and the nails kept flashing different colors, I think this is best to see irl because pictures only do so much to convince you that it's awesome. Over white though, the bright pink was looking like a neon China Glaze! What a fun surprise!

More of the same combination, just to show off that gorgeous pink on coat 1

It's the same black & white design, but completely transformed!

Are you convinced you need these? Gotta add to that collection, and there's not much in the reddish/orange category in Tonic, and toppers are very very versatile ;)
