Sea Lore Triton's Daughters Collection - Swatches and Review

I'm pretty excited about my post today because I have SEVEN fantastic polishes to show you. It's rare that I get an entire collection without at least one disappointment, but Jamie at Sea Lore did it! She created the Triton's Daughters Collection!

All of Sea Lore polishes are hand mixed, 3-free and cruelty-free and only use stainless steel balls. All of the glitters are tested a minimum of 2 months by themselves in base to ensure that all glitters are non bleeding and non curling. Jamie says, "We are a relatively new company, but have been in the works for quite a while. I took my time designing each and every portion of the Sea Lore line, from gift wrapping each order to the labels on each bottle, I just wanted to show each and every customer how much they mean to me! As a thank you to my customers, I am offering a free ring with every $20 purchase with your choice of Sea Lore color."

Jamie sure did hit me where my glitter preferences lie! So let's get started! First though, as to the formula - I had no issues with any of them. None were too thick or too thin and all applied easily and were made smooth with one coat of Gelous.

JUST A NOTE: NONE of these 7 polishes have any curling glitter. Any of the photos that look like any of the glitter is curling is a trick of the lighting or a "reflective curl." They all laid perfectly flat on the nail and I had no issues, curling or otherwise.


We'll just do them in alphabetical order using the creator's own descriptions...

AdellaA seahorse yellow jelly base with mint green hexes, gold glitter, and golden shimmer. I layered Adella over Catrice Khaki Perry and followed up with a coat of Gelous for a smooth finish. Application was great and I had no issues.

It's really hard to pick a favorite because I really did like them all. Even Ariel, the multi-colored one! I generally don't like multi-colored glitters. I think it's because she knew exactly where to stop. I'm going to say my favorites are probably Attina, because of the yummy peach color and the flakes, and Andrina because, well...it's purple!

What is your favorite?
