Ooooof, this is my favorite formula that Cirque makes, and I want them all! Yellow is my favorite color, and Shaka looks so beautiful and glowy! Thanks for the great swatches and comparisons, as always!
I initially picked up Ohana because of your review. 2 weeks ago I picked up Pele, Shaka, and Mermaid Grotto when they did a buy 2 get 1 free for their sale polishes. I also picked up Palm Springs. I think those 5 polishes will make a cute rainbow skittle. I thought that Wipeout and Bird of Paradise didn't have a contrasting duo chrome shimmer and felt a little disconnected to the look I'm going for. Palm Springs is a teal with with a pink duo chrome shimmer that I think will harmonize perfectly with the other shades I picked from the Surfer's Crush collection. As always, your swatches are so helpful in picking out the shades. Tysm!💖💝💗
oh yay, so happy you took advantage of that recent sale!! and oh i don’t have Palm Springs, but it looks really pretty! definitely a perfect rainbow skittle 😍 but aw sorry to hear you didn’t love Wipe Out and Bird of Paradise as much, I could’ve sworn Wipe Out did shift to purple, but yeah maybe its just not the same kind of shimmer as the others. thanks again for such a sweet comment, it means a lot you think my swatches are helpful 🤗
This was the first full collection I bought from Cirque in a couple months, I love the inspiration and the variety of shades. Thank you for always posting your videos on launch day, it really helps to narrow down my choices and decide if it's worth spending the money or not!
oh yay! yeah I feel like they’re finally on an uptick with their releases, I did really like the Gourmand set but the last few before those were kinda meh. this one is def my favorite in a while! & of course, I do my best so i’m glad you & others have found them helpful :)
ugh i felt that!! 😫 idk if you know but you can get replacement wide brushes for super cheap from KBShimmer or Glisten & Glow’s sites! i think you’d have to get the full cap though because the wide brushes don’t fit cirque’s cap unfortunately.
Thank you so much for the swatch video already! Ahh, I'm struggling with the shimmer collection. I've always liked Cirque shimmers, but now that the polishes cost more I'm really debating whether they're worth the price considering the sheerer formulas and skinny brush. Your live swatches are very helpful, though. Seeing the application here I feel a little more assured that you can get them even. Some of the offical swatch photos seemed to have some patchy spots on the nail. I think I might pick up the green, orange and purple as I prefer that crelly formula more than the jelly one.
of course!! :) & I hear you on that, they definitely are pretty pricey. but for what it’s worth I do think that this is one of Cirque’s better formulas, I know recently mooncat has put out a few shades in this nearly identical finish, but I think the formula on those aren’t as smooth, I think mooncat formulas tend to be hit or miss bc I’ve heard from a few others those shades didn’t self level well.. but yeah if anything those more crelly shades would probably be best if you want fuller coverage! I hope you’ll like those :)
Such a beautiful Cirque Colors collection. You know I love jellies! So wonderful to see some jellies coming back! I loved that Sea Glass Collection! Perhaps they will rerelease some other favorite jellies this year!!!
so glad you love these too Susan!! I knew my jelly lovers would enjoy these hehe but I sure hope they continue to bring back their previous sets like Amethyst and Tortoise, those would be amazing for fall 🤩
Thanks for the lovely presentation and very helpful comparisons - Nocturne, Anchors Away (I don‘t own Capri) et al are among my favorite Cirque formulas as well and the latest additions fit well into their range. One got to love Cirque for listening to their customers and bring back shades of past collections. I should do nostalgia rack and dedicate at least one mani per week to these neglected beauties 💙💖💙
of course!! and I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments, Anchors Away is def a top fave of mine too but truly that entire line/finish of polishes is the BEST 🙌🏻 this was such a great collection for them imo, I feel like the last few were kind of hit or miss for a lot of people so I’m really happy about these 💖 I love the idea of a nostalgia rack!! let me know what shades you’ll be wearing 🤩
Ahhh I want all of them! I'm glad that brands are releasing these gorgeous shimmers. I especially love Shaka and Birds of Paradise. I already own Cobalt and Sea Glass collection jellies. so I may recreate those jellies skittle gradient soon
aren’t they gorg?! and omg yay! i was so sad to have missed out on so many of their jelly sets from years ago so i’m ecstatic they’ve been bringing them back 😍 def hope you recreate the sea glass look!!
you got this review up so fast!! thanks for having it out so quickly; it's really helpful to have the comparisons and a personal take so soon after launch. I really love the minty green one, but am kind of saving up for Cirque to have any kind of sale before I buy my favorites from all their latest collections :)
hehe i do my best! :) so glad you found it helpful. and yes definitely smart to wait for a sale! i hope they have one soon, which shades are on your wishlist?! and omg right! i love jellies bc of how versatile they are when it comes to nail art!!
I will get the magenta one, it’s perfect for summer ☀️ and I don’t have anything similar. Also, the orange/coral is awesome, but i find it too close to KBShimmer Flip Out (which I already have and love).
Oh boy! I am in TROUBLE with this launch! It is SO gooooood! I love the jellies! I love the shimmers! I love the colors! The one thing I don’t love is the flowers. They are too large! It would have been better to have many smaller sizes than a few large! I guess you could cut the petal ones, but it just seems more trouble than they are worth? 🤷🏼♀️ Also I witch they had a bundle option to just get the polishes at a discount without the flowers. I have not decided if I’m going to get the whole kit and caboodle or just the polishes. But I do like the fish eye baubles. They look fun! But tedious to apply.
LOL isn’t this such a good launch!? so glad you’re loving it!! I totally agree with you about loving basically everything but the flowers, which is sad bc they really are so pretty 😭 and oh I didn’t even realize that! yeah that does kinda suck to HAVE to get the nail art accessories if you don’t really care for them. I believe the flowers and charms are LE so I’m sure once those sell out, they would list the bundle like previous collections? but I wonder how long that would take 😩 the rainbow fish charms are so cute right?? they look like colorful bubbles! and yeah definitely can be tedious depending on the look you’re going for, but they aren’t as small as the Confectionary Charms from the Gourmand collection at least! those can require 150% brainpower to grab individually lol 😝
I picked up all, except Wipe Out & Ohana while I was on vacation (before I saw your video). Now I think that I’m going to have to go back & get Wipe Out! I’m such a sucker for Cirque (Especially their jellies)! I’m also working on getting the ones that I’m missing from their candy coat & facets collections. I would love to see you do a top 20 video from each brand that you love!
omg you have such great self restraint not grabbing the whole collection lol! if I had one missing I would be like.. why am I leaving it out?? 🤣 Wipe Out is gorgeous though so I know you’ll love it, along with the rest! which ones are you missing from their Candy Coat and Facets? I only have a couple from each but would def love adding more facets to my collection, like Amethyst, Sapphire and Paraiba 🤩 and yes!! I’m working on that style of video series, hopefully coming in the next couple weeks!
@@PolishedYogi it would probably be easier to tell you which ones I have lol. Candy Coat: Tutti-frutti, Sugar Plum, Pink Lemonade, Juicy Fruit & Snozzberry. (I picked up Mooncat’s Shroomdom & Strangeberry because Cirque’s versions were sold out). Facets: Emerald, Tsavorite, Spinal & Topaz. I want to the three that you mentioned, plus Ruby, Garnet & Fire Opal. I hope that Cirque restocks the sold out shades! 🤞 Looking forward to those videos! We have similar taste in our favorites, I think.
I picked up Ohana, Pele, Wipe out and of course Birds of Paradise. I love shimmery oranges! I’m on the fence about aqua and lime jelly. I love cirques jelly formula but Idk how often I would use those shades. 😅
thats such a gorgeous haul!! 🤩 those are def my faves from the collection too hehe ESP Bird of Paradise for summer 😎 and aw i get what you mean! thankfully these aren’t LE so you can wait to decide if you really need them in your collection :)
these polishes look stunning, although i gotta admit the yellow is not really my thing! also the flowers are strangely large for a nail decoration lol I'd get everything else in the collection if i could afford it though. lots o fun happy colors~
yeah im kinda bummed I don't love the yellow! and same about the flowers 😅 tho i have seen some people use them on IG and they didn’t look too bad! hopefully you can pick up some of these soon, theres plenty of time to get them before summer hits 😎🏝️🏄🏻
I feel like Wipe Out is a lot closer to Cirque's Moodstone. A comparison of Ohana and Cloud Nine and Fata Morgana might be interesting, and MC Curse of Calypso or even Ghosts of Hecate.
I thought about those too (minus Cloud Nine & Fata Morgana bc I dont have them lol), i can kindaaa see Moodstone but they ended up looking way different to me so I didn’t think it was worth comparing 😅 I can do a bottle comp on my IG stories if you wanna see Wipe Out with Moodstone and Ohana with Curse of Calypso :)
@@PolishedYogi Fair enough! I was just surprised because Moodstone and Mercury's Tears are so similar I thought we'd see them side-by-side. I'm following your IG so I'll see it if you end up doing the bottle comparison. =)
First impression: wow they're so beautiful I love them. After watching some comparisons: wow actually I like the Cirque existing polishes better/more After watching a few more: actually I like the moincat kaleidoscope even more than those. Final conclusion after video: save my money because I can make all of them with pure jellies and Holo Taco flakies or shimmers in clear base. (In the future someday when I buy a rainbow set of pure jellies)
I love these type of comments so much lol ! My thought process is usually pretty similar 🤣 the kaleidoscope haze collection is def one of my favorites from mooncat, but if you already have flakie toppers and jellies you can basically dupe them! Though I will say, as much as I love Aqua Jelly, mooncat’s Acidwashed is 🤩 I wonder if layering something like Cirque Linen over Aqua Jelly would achieve a closer dupe
@@PolishedYogi in my one and only mooncat order the 4th polish was between acid wash, if frogs had wings and mermaid bait. I opted for mermaid bait because I already have Splash which I love and should use more before buying more flakie jellies.....at least that was my logic. Also mermaid bait could be used as a layer with flakes or a topper... maybe
I actually compared them on my stories the other day, they’re nearly identical but you can send me a DM if you wanna see it! I completely forgot about that shade so I’m kicking myself for not including it in the video. but those are good picks, I hope you love them! 💚💛✨
if i remember correctly, the ceo stated in a livestream a few months ago that they were trying to get through their inventory of skinny brushes and asked if offering wide brush replacement packs would be good in the interim. I can’t imagine how many skinny brushes they still have but I’m hoping they’ll make the switch sooner than later 😩
but this I’m curious about 👀 would you mind sharing more? the only thing I can think of is when they photoshopped their holo magnetics last year to be so misleading, but I’m curious about anything else!
