Gelish Forever Marilyn collection swatches + review

Happy Sunday! I've got an exciting new Gelish review for you today: the new Forever Marilyn collection*. A beautiful collection for Autumn, and there are a few shades you could wear all year round. Read on to hear my thoughts...

That's So Monroe* is described as a 'cool brown shimmer' but I'd say it's more of a brown rose gold. A lovely autumnal shade but personally I prefer an actual rose gold! This was two coats.

Some Girls Prefer Pearls* is a gorgeous white shimmer. I didn't expect to like this shade but I absolutely loved it, it looks so glam. Would be a lovely shade for both autumn and winter around Christmas. This was 3 thin coats.

Classic Red Lips* is exactly what you'd expect in a Marilyn collection. A perfect red. This was two easy coats.

Flirty and Fabulous* is described as a teal creme, although I'd have said it was a navy! I can imagine this being a popular colour this autumn. This was 3 coats.

A Girl and Her Curls* is a described as an 'eggplant shimmer'. This was a lot more glittery than I expected and I loved it! It would make a gorgeous background for galaxy nails. This was two easy coats.

Last but not least is my favourite from the collection: All American Beauty*. This is such a beautiful shade, if you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen I've already used this shade for some rose quartz nail art. It's very sheer, so it would also be good for french manicures, and sandwich designs. This was 6 very thin coats, but if you're using it for nail art you could probably do 4 or 5. 

What do you think? Do you have any of the collection yet!
