SoFlaJo Manhattan - Swatches and Review

I placed my first order from SoFlaJo Hand Poured Originals the other day and received it quickly and well packaged. Inside my order was a mini bottle of Manhattan (Thanks Jody!) and it was "SO ME" that I just had to try that one out first! The one I actually ordered is Call Forth Dragons, a shimmery topper, which I'll be showing you soon.

SoFlaJo Manhattan is from the Happy Hour Collection and is a shimmery, glowy, deep, coppery burnt orange that applied easily and was completely opaque in two coats with no "underwear." This one appears to have glass flecks rather than just a shimmer or micro-glitter. The brushes are semi-flat and splayed well. No issues with streaking or cuticle drag. I was very happy with the formula. And as you can see by the photos, depending on the lighting it flashes maroon! Very cool.

Yes, I'm going to need a full sized bottle of this one.

SoFlaJo polishes are 4-Free (free of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate and Formaldehyde Resin) and CRUELTY-FREE, which as you know is a big one for me. This one, as well as linear holo toppers, glitter polishes and other opaque colors are available in Jody's Etsy shop and retail for $10.00 for the full-sized bottles. Also be sure and "like" her Facebook page for updates! 

Do you have any SoFlaJo polishes yet? What's your favorite?

If you enjoyed this post, please take a second to "like" it! Thanks!

  4. I am a big sucker for all orange derived color, and this is no exception!
    Beautiful color! I love it! And I love how it turns more red in the flash light. I am definitely going to put it into my wish list!
    I don't yet have any SoFlaJo's but I am waiting for Manhattan and Tequila Sunrise to arrive :-D

  5. Oh no! Now I MUST HAVE THIS! I think I will wait to look at your review of your other SoFlaJo polish because then I will want that one, too! I have four of SoFlaJo's polishes and them all. Great quality and very pretty.
