Product was purchased with personal funds, and I’m not compensated for my review. All opinions are my own.
Impulse Co. is a brand I found randomly on Etsy while looking for duo-chrome eye shadows. I've purchased a few things from them over the last few months, and they've recently started listing nail polish and solvent resistant glitter.
A full sized Gum Drop is 15ml(.5oz) was 7.50$ and I had no idea what kind of packaging to expect since the swatch available on Etsy was only a dollop of polish on a white background. It’s a pastel pink, yellow, blue, and purple glitter top coat with iridescent glitter.
I bought it on Cyber Monday, and turn-around-time was 5 to 7 business days. It was shipped exactly 1 week from when I purchased it, and tracking was available which I followed like a hawk. Who doesn’t get impatient over something shiny and new?
The polish was bubble-wrapped very well, along with other eye shadows which were also bubble wrapped individually. The label was hand written for the color name, which definitely shows it’s a brand new thing the brand is doing, and I’m sure it’ll change. Downside is that if the label ever got wet, it’ll be ruined due to the papery type of label.
I was surprised that the glitter is a muted metallic type instead of bright matte. The yellow on the Etsy swatch isn't even remotely close to what I have in the bottle, which really doesn't bother me at all. I think the muted yellow/greenish glitter matches the other cool pastels better than a bright shocking yellow. Then I opened the bottle, and woah. The clear base used was really smelly, not kleancolor stinky, but it’s up there in case someone is smell sensitive. A huge upside is that their base is like an ultra suspension. Even though the bottle has been undisturbed for about a month, none of the glitter has sunk at all. I have to roll around and shake other indie polishes I have since they sink within a few weeks. This is a heavy glitter bomb of a top coat. I love it!
Shown is one coat on my ring finger over one coat of Orly Liquid Vinyl, and no top coat. The rest are one coat of Sally Hansen 409 Good to Grape, with one coat of Petticoat. I have to keep my nails short for work, but there’s no rules against nail polish (WOOT). Now pictures!
Gum Drop next to a mini Petticoat (7ml/.24oz).Petticoat was purchased on New Years weekend.
Overall I do like the polish, and there is always room for improvement. I look forward to more purchases from them. Their etsy store can be found at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpulseCo
