PRESS SAMPLE
Welcome to part II of the 1850 Artisan Polish release for Spring 2018. Creator, Nikki found inspiration in the Pacific Ocean this time around and came up with the Treasures of the Pacific Collection releasing Saturday, April 14 9:00am PST / 12:00 PM EST, along with a restock of all previous polishes. With a total of 8 new polishes she will be releasing 4 highly pigmented Multi-chromes, 1 Creme, and 3 Multi-Chrome Flakies.
This blog will be dedicated to the Multi-Chromes and there are 2 Holo Multi-Chromes! Click here to get to the Flakie Blog.
First I have, Pacific Seahorse a glowing green to gold shifting multichrome that sparkles with holographic micro flakes, giving it just the right playful touch to pay tribute to the Pacific Seahorse.
- Coats: 2 medium
- Shift: Olive Green to Gold with scattered holographic micro flakes for some light holo flame.
- Application: Smooth and even, mimics metallic’s so long strokes are recommended.
Next is, Mermaid Music a mesmerizing teal, violet, blue, red, and gold multichrome loaded with scattered holographic micro flakes, so intense it’s nearly linear.
Just as the mermaid song calls to sailors, you will be drawn in by this beauty!
- Coats: 2 coats
- Shift: Teal/Purple/Green with scattered holographic micro flakes for some holo flame
- Application: Smooth and even, mimics metallic’s so long strokes are recommended.
Next I have, Garibaldi an incredibly strong multichrome, Garibaldi shifts from red to orange and gold with a hint of green on the edges.
As the official state marine fish of California this feisty fish will aggressively protect its territory. Garibaldi’s are so brightly colored that it can easily be spotted in the waters near Catalina Island in Southern California.
- Coats: 3 thin coats
- Shift: Red/Orange/Gold
- Application: Smooth and even, a bit metal like, so smooth strokes are best
Finally I have, Sea Anemone this bright and shimmery multichrome shifts from emerald green to a rosy gold with purple and blue on the edges.
Sea Anemones can easily be found in tide pools along the coast of California and bring a colorful surprise to visitors looking for treasures during low tide.
- Coats: 3 thin coats
- Shift:
- Emerald Green/Olive Green – Strong
- Blue/ Purple – Subtle
- Application: Smooth and even, a bit metal like, so smooth strokes are best
Blogger Notes:
- It is recommend that you use a high-quality base coat and top coat with this polish in order to extend the life of your manicure. I used the following Base and Tops:
- Base Coat: Vapid – Commitmment Issues
- QDTC: 1850 Artisian Polish – Fast Track
- Matte: SassyCats Lacquer – Purrfect Matte
- Using a black polish as an undie really pops the color.
- I can’t pick a favorite though, don’t even ask!

I loveeee Mermaid Music & Garibaldi! All of the colors are gorgeous, though. I think the matte topcoat totally transforms the look of them which is so cool.

I’m surprised that my favorite is Pacific Seahorse because i’m usually drawn to the purples, but that green is so breath-taking.
