Different Dimension All American Collection- Press sample
I can hardly believe that summer is around the corner. We just got a few vegetables planted, and now the forecast is predicting 90 degree weather later this week. With all the warm weather comes barbeques, and of course the Fourth of July.
Doing an Independence Day themed collection could be boring, but I feel like Different Dimension's All American collection is anything but that. It's packed with the expected red, white, and blue, but it also includes a massive amount of sparkle.

Opportunity
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Red jelly polish with holographic micro glitters.
Coverage: 2 coats
Notes: This sparkly red delight is sure to please. It dries with a slight texture that doesn't personally bother me, but if you want an entirely smooth finish I would recommend a second layer of top coat.
Freedom
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: White creme polish with holographic micro glitters.
Coverage: 2 coats
Notes: The mixture of this bright white combined with a flash of holo makes this such a fun shade. The holo isn't nearly as noticeable as it is in Opportunity or Liberty, but I think it's still enough to stand out. This dries with a slight texture, but it's less noticeable than Opportunity.
Liberty
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Blue jelly polish with holographic micro glitters.
Coverage: 2 coats
Notes: This shade is equally as brilliant as Opportunity. If you enjoy that holographic twinkle, you really can't go wrong with this shade. Liberty dries with about the same amount of texture as Opportunity. You may find that you need a second coat of top coat.
Justice
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: White crelly polish with added shimmers, red, silver, and blue holographic glitters.
Coverage: 3 coats
Notes: Justice has a tricky holographic shimmer that was nearly impossible for me to capture in my swatches. If you glance at the macro collage you can see them best there. They are far more noticeable in person than they are in my swatches.
Independence
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Silver holographnic glitter polish with red and blue holographic glitters in a holographic base.
Coverage: 3 coats
Notes: I heard you liked holo, so I put some holo with your holo. All jokes aside, this speaks to me on all levels. If it's sparkly, you better believe I'm interested. This may requre two layers of top coat to smooth out the glitter.
In addition to the All American collection, I had the opportunity to try out two Different Dimension cuticle oil scents. While I wouldn't normally pick grape soda as a scent or flavor, I absolutely loved it. I expected it to smell like the dreaded cough syrup of my youth, but I found the scent to be quite pleasant. As for the Jolly Rancher scent, I was sold by the name alone. It smells exactly like a watermelon Jolly Rancher without being sickenly sweet.
There isn't usually much to say about a cuticle oil formula unless it soaks in lightning fast (this never happens). It took an average amount of time to soak it, and it left my cuticles happy and hydrated.
Conclusion
The All American collection is limited edition and will only be for sale for a short period of time. The whole collection will retail for $40. Individually they will all be priced at $10 each, with the exception of Justice, which will retail for $5.
