Grace-full Nail Polish Vampire Collection (Reformulated) - Swatches & Comparisons

Wednesday 16 September 2015


Grace-full Nail Polish have been very busy lately.  Birthday celebrations, new collections, markets, exclusive polishes.....the list just goes on really.  In amongst everything else, Grace-full have also had to reformulate a few polishes due to a change in one of the tints from the supply (please note there is nothing wrong with the original formulas so there is no need to be alarmed.  The colour of the tint has changed meaning to colour of the polish is altered).  While the new formulated polishes aren't completely identical they are exceptionally close that you do not need to buy both versions and you don't need to be upset if you missed out on the original version either.  Now this post is going to be quite picture heavy so I will leave my babbling to a minimum.  The formulas on the new polish are all consistent, easy to work with and only need two coats to be opaque.


Queen Of The Damned 2.0
Please note that this polish is actually more holo in person than it looks in my picture.  I had lots of trouble with the sun but that's a whole other story really.

This polish probably has the greatest difference between the two verisons.  The original version is darker and a slightly different tone of purple.

Definitely not  a huge difference between these two.  The original version is slightly lighter.

Again not a huge difference between these two.  The original version is lighter.

The only difference I can tell is that the original version is slightly more purple toned.

Like I mentioned earlier, the formula on the reformulated polishes is fantastic.  It's super easy to work with and only requires two coats to be opaque.  As for the difference between the original and new versions, there really isn't much at all.  Theresa has done a great job trying to match them.

There isn't a release date for these new versions yet (and I believe some of the original ones are still available) but I would suggest joining the Grace-Full Nail Polish Facebook Group as I am sure Theresa will make an announcement about their availability.  Plus there is also the bonus of sneak peeks and getting to chat and share all things Grace-full.
