Hello Muggles and Wizards alike! Today's post features a beautiful sampling of potions from Slug & Jiggers Apothecary (Bohemian Polish) called the Moste Potente Potions Collection. This collection consists of 7 holographic potions, and I have them all for your viewing pleasure. I will also be talking about the amazing cuticle oil you see pictured below. This collection releases tomorrow, so be sure to check out all the potions here before sending off your owls to Slug & Jiggers.
This blogger package was the cutest, most thought out one I have ever received. Apprentice at Slug & Jiggers, Jennifer sent a letter with awesome descriptions of every potion. You can see it in the picture below. I'll be using her descriptions from the blogger letter in this post because they were just that great and so well written. Let's not delay any longer though. Let's see what beautiful creations have come out of Slug & Jiggers!!
(Moste Potente Potions Collection. I'll have a top coat review in a few days)
The first potion I have for you today is "Love Potion No. 9 3/4", which is a bubblegum pink holographic potion with iridescent flakes. Made with Amortentia in mind, this potion will make you fall under its spell with its smooth and sparkly finish. I can't get enough of pink and the iridescent flakes in this polish along with the holo make it that much more unique and beautiful. The formula on this one was good. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures below. I also stamped a 9 3/4 on my accent nail using My Online Shop plate .

Next up is "Don't Mind The Steam", which is a magenta holographic potion with gold shimmer. Like Pepperup Potion, this bold potion will have you feeling fabulous in no time. Another gorgeous pink to add to my collection. I can see myself wearing this one over and over again. Formula on this one was great as well. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures. I also stamped my accent nail with My Online Shop plate . Stamping was not cooperating after this one, so I swatched the rest of the collection without stamping.

Next up we have a little "Liquid Luck", perfect for when you need that little something extra to help you succeed. "Liquid Luck" is a warm golden-orange holographic polish with warm gold glitter. Like Felix Felicis you can do no wrong with this potion! I am loving this potion, especially for fall. Fall is my favorite time of year, right ahead of winter (I'm from Alaska, I actually prefer the cold lol), so I am so excited for fall manis! Formula on this was great. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures below.

Next up is "Steal Your Face", which is a green holographic polish with green to red color shifting shimmer. Unlike Polyjuice Potion, you won't have to drink this potion to get the full shifty effect! I like this potion, however, I couldn't seem to see the shimmer very easily in this like I was thinking I would just by reading the description. I don't know why. Formula was good though. I used three coats with top coat for my pictures. My macro shots of this polish leaned more to almost a yellow, but the more color accurate is my full swatch.

Next up is "Furry Little Problem Solver", which is the newest addition to the Slug and Jiggers cosmetic potion line! Inspired by Wolfsbane Potion, this bright blue holographic potion has iridescent flakes that bottle the moon and tame the wild werewolf within. I really love this potion! Blue is slowly starting to be one of my favorite colors to wear and this one will gets plenty of use! Formula on this one was a little bit thicker than the others, but I was able to get it opaque in two coats instead of three like the others. Two coats with top coat for my pictures.

Next up is another favorite of mine from this collection (I think I have a few), "See No Dreams", which is a soft purple holographic potion with purple to blue color shifting glitter. You can rest easy wearing this potion without worrying about You-Know-Who or his masked goons finding you, but there's no need to take Dreamless Sleep. This purple is GORGEOUS!! I absolutely love it! Formula was great here as well. Again I used three coats with top coat for my pictures.

Last of the potions in this collection is "Half-Life", which is a silver linear holographic polish with a metallic finish. Unlike the others on this list, Half-Life is not a potion at all but a cursed ingredient, unicorn blood. Drinking this gives the user a cursed existence, so settle for putting this on your nails and being a magical unicorn instead. This... Polish... Is... Amazing! A definte must from this collection. I am obsessed with linear holo and this one is perfect! Formula is great again, and I only needed two coats with top coat for my pictures below.

The last thing I have to talk to you about it the cuticle oil that I was sent with this collection too. I absolutely love it! It is scented EXACTLY like Butterbeer and I haven't been able to stop applying it to my cuticles. It really is my favorite scent ever and I wish more people made body products in this scent. I would buy them all! The oil comes in a rollerball applicator which makes it incredibly easy to apply. I think rollerball and doe foot applicators are my favorite when it comes to cuticle oil, so I will for sure be using this frequently, not just because it smells delicious, but because its easy. I also think I need a back up or two of it as well, because I KNOW I will be using it a lot! This oil soaks into your cuticles at an average time. Not too quick, and not too long where your fingers stay oily for ages. I've been using it non stop for two days and have barely used it up, so you don't need a lot of it either. In those two days, I have had some hard hangnails (Is there a term for those?) On my pointer and pinkie that just don't seem to be going anywhere, until I used this oil. They seem much softer already and I feel like they will be gone in another couple days with consistent use. I highly recommend this one!
