BY CINDY SOCIETAL (BY CS) VEGAN AND BREATHABLE NAIL POLISH - SWATCHES & REVIEW

By Cindy Societal (By CS) is an up-and-coming Independently run Australian beauty brand specialising in 10-free, Vegan and Cruelty Free nail polish and nail water decals.

I have 4 introductory shades from the brand to review for you today :)
*Spoiler*: they are really really good!



CONNOISSEUR

Connoisseur is a deep ox-blood red nail polish shade. 
So Vampy and sexy! I love it!

The formula is perfect! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's pigmented, covers beautifully and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats. 


HAVING AN ARIEL MOMENT

Having an Ariel Moment is a really *really* pale / sheer pink (hardly even noticeable) nail polish shade with TONS of AMAZING gold-green lustre shimmers scattered throughout it. 
The shimmer is so reflective and blinding on the nails that it looks metallic.
OBSESSED with the colour AND the name! So Cool!

The formula is pure perfection! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers amazingly well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.
(My swatch shows two thin coats, and it looks perfectly opaque to me, but I could see you potentially needing three coats if you have longer nails.)


GLACIER

Glacier is a powder blue nail polish shade with a silver pearlescent shimmer scattered throughout it. So lovely! A crowd pleaser for sure!

The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well. The formula is great - (much better than I was expecting, considering these kinds of colours tend to apply patchy and unevenly). 

It covers beautifully and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats. 


SNOW ANGEL 

Snow Angel is a periwinkle blue nail polish shade with a silver pearlescent shimmer scattered throughout it. Very similar to Glacier, but with a hint of purple. So beautiful!

The formula is great! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers beautifully and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.

These are the first By Cindy Societal polishes that I have tried and I really liked them! 

The colours are beautiful, formulas are literally flawless, they're easily opaque, and apply effortlessly with the AMAZING wide brush (seriously obsessed with the brush more than anything!). They are vibrant on the nail, fast drying, and pretty chip-resistant - what more could you really want in a nail polish? The general quality of these polishes is exceptional!

I absolutely LOVE that By CS polishes are a healthier nail polish choice containing no nasty chemicals, are Vegan and Cruelty Free AND I also really like the concept of the nail polish being breathable.

By CS nail polish is available in an expanding range of pretty and on-trend colour options.
I can't wait to try out some more colours! 
I definitely recommend trying the brand out for yourself!
