Mckfresh Nail Attire - The Labyrinth Trio Review & Swatch



Mckfresh Nail Attire is the brainchild of Kate Mckenzie. Her first polish collection is inspired by the movie 'The Labyrinth' featuring David Bowie and teenage Jennifer Connelly. David Bowie never seizes to amaze me with his eclecticism and timeless odd style. He reminds me of my high-school English tutor who sent me few dozens Bowie tapes  to ‘practice English’ – how eccentric is that?!

Well, back to Mckfresh. The Labyrinth collection has 13 polishes and I picked 3:


The Fireys, T.B.O.E.S, Hoggle 
Hoggle – inspired by the Goblin Kings Spy, is a milky white jelly with multiple different colour/sized hex and round glitters – much like gold/silver coins and jewels.

Hoggle, natural sunlight


T.B.O.E.S – inspired by The Bog of Eternal Stench, is a pastel aqua crelly heavily glittered with gold, navy, blue, lime green and white round, hex, and square glitters.

The Fireys – inspired by festive creatures called The Fireys, is a pastel orange crelly with gold bars/round, red, matt white glitters of different shapes.

Natural sunlight

Mckfresh are 3-free and handmixed. The colour and glitter combinations are very creative and interesting. These are polishes amazing on nails and extremely hard to capture (with my iPhone built-in camera). The polishes are very heavily glittered but surprisingly easy to apply with minimal glitter fishing – probably ode to a good suspension base.

I applied two coats followed by Essence gel look top coat. My favorite of the three is The Fireys – just like yummy spicy chilly sauce, followed by Hoggle – love the glitter combination and VNL doesn’t trouble me, then T.B.O.E.S. – darn hard to take colour accurate pictures of this one! 

If unique glitter crelly is your thing, make sure you head to Kate's Etsy store (here) to check out the rest of the Labyrinth collection. 

Newsflash: Mckfresh Nail Attire and Sayrui Nail Lacquer have joined force, releasing a very limited collection "Gotta Catch 'Em All" inspired by Pokemon! These polishes contain some very unique and limited Japanese glitters!! Their release dates and swatches are now on Mckfresh's Facebook page (here) and Sayrui's Facebook page (here).
