So, how did they work out? Keep reading for more!

The ASP Long Wear Polish line contains 28 really wearable shades, of which I got to try out 10 in a few different finishes. You'll notice that I went with the more mauve/nude/fall sort of shade spectrum, but I think that overall the shade selection that ASP offers really hits all of those classic nail polish notes but in a way that feels modern and contemporary. (I hope I'm making sense...)

This line is cruelty free and has a 10 free formula, which means that it doesn't contain 10 of the dangerous ingredients that can be found in nail polish formulas. It promises "triple pigmentation" coverage with a luminous shine. It also has a phenomenal flat, contoured brush that makes a crisp application really easy. So far so good, right?

Let's get into the swatches and I'll tell you how each of the shades performed for me!

In my notes, I described this as a pale peachy pink crelly with subtle shimmer. I actually had a little bit of trouble with this one the first time I applied it but on my second application I applied it a little bit differently and had really great success. On the first coat you're going to find that this one is pretty sheer, but as long as you keep your brush strokes to a minimum you're going to end up with a surprisingly even and streak free application. On the second coat, it wasn't quite fullfullfull coverage, but it was the kind of coverage that I personally really like from this type of formula and shade and I left it at that. It's a really even formula, with a little bit of that crelly squishiness, and I think this will be a really, really widely flattering shade because of that peachy tone that I think works with both warm and cool skin tones. Definitely work appropriate and easy to wear. 

I described this one as a berry brown créme and I stand by that. This shade is really like a marriage between red and brown with just the right amount of each. It's also a tone that can look different depending on the light, moving between looking more red and more brown, and in some lights it even looks almost purple. This was a really dreamy application for me. It was opaque in two coats, really easy to apply and self leveling with a nice shine once it was dry. Love this polish, love this shade.  

I described this as a deep, cool toned grey créme shade, but to be more accurate I would that it's a dark and smoky grey shade with a hint of teal. I think this could be a one coat polish, though I would recommend going for two thinner coats over one thicker one, which is what I did for this swatch. The first coat was super pigmented and almost opaque and then that second coat really gave me the opaque coverage with a really smooth, level dry down and a lot of shine. I love this shade and I think it has a really sophisticated feel to it. 

I described this as a berry brown with a strong gold shimmer and I hold to that, even though it's pulling much less of that berry tone in the pictures. I absolutely loved this shade in the bottle, but I wasn't really sure how I would feel about it on the nails - but I really needn't have worried. This probably had my favorite application of all of the ones I tried, with two coat full coverage and a really stunning finish. This is one of that polishes that has brush strokes that become more subtle as it dries, though as you can see they're still somewhat visible, but I really think it works in this polish. Like I said, it had a really easy, smooth application and dried down with a really pretty shine. Love, love, love this shade and highly recommend. 

I described this shade as a warm, soft grey with a really subtle shimmer. This is another 2 coater for me and I found that on that second coat I was really impressed with how rich and saturated the colour is, especially for being such a soft shade. It was overall a pretty smooth application, though I will say that I recommend not fussing around too much with these polishes and do as few strokes as possible so that they can level themselves more easily. My favorite thing about this polish is actually that shimmer, which ends up coming off more as a glow. It's such a pretty look and brings something special to what some might call a concrete grey shade. 

I described this one as a peachy beige nude créme, but I would say that you could also call it a peachy camel shade. Again, like the rest of the créme shades from ASP, this had a really easy, smooth application with 2 coat coverage. What really impresses me about this one is that I think it might be the most universal "nude" polish that I've ever seen and I really think it would looking stunning on just about anyone, from very light to very deep skin tones, because it's not TOO light and it has that dustiness to it that I think just looks gorgeous on just about anyone. I love this shade and it would probably be the one I would default to often if I had to wear "work appropriate" polish for my job. 

I described this polish as an ashy brown taupe créme shade. Again, it was an amazing formula that had a really easy application, 2 coat full coverage, and dried down to a shiny, even finish. (I think I might end up being a bit of a broken record with these créme formulas...) What I love about this is that it's unlike any other shade in my collection. It's distinctly a brown taupe and it has that ashy undertone that I think makes it feel very modern and also really makes it a universally flattering shade, in my opinion. Love this one.
