At Cirque Colors, we have always believed that the people wearing our polishes are just as creative as the people making them. So when we launched our first ever Dream Polish Contest, we invited our community to send us their moodboards, color stories, and wildest ideas for a shade they had always wished existed. Hundreds of submissions came in, each one filled with vision and personality. From there, you voted, four were chosen, refined through a Cirque lens, and transformed into real polishes.
This month, we are thrilled to debut the newest pair of Dream Polish creations.
Part Two of the Dream Polish Contest Collab
Tailfeather created by Caroline (@neonuncle)
Tailfeather is a teal polish filled with rainbow iridescent flakies and scattered holographic shimmer. Caroline drew inspiration from the wings of a Macaw, a bird known for vivid feathers and incredible color shift in motion. She has painted her own nails for over a decade and gravitates toward bright colors with real depth. She told us she loves the dimension that flakies bring and seeing this idea come to life felt like a dream.
Macaws also face significant conservation challenges in the wild. If you want to learn more about efforts to protect them, visit macawrecoverynetwork.org
Tailfeather captures that vibrant, fluttering spirit and transforms it into a wearable burst of color.
La Rougeanne created by Roxanne (@simplyroxysnails)
La Rougeanne is a deep black cherry red filled with silver reflective glitter, aurora shimmer, and scattered holographic sparkle. Roxanne dreamed of combining her love for moody reds and dramatic sparkle. She blended her name with the French word for red to create a title that feels personal and bold.
She wanted a shade that glows like cherries under low light and shines like something pulled from a velvet box. The final polish feels both glamorous and stormy, a perfect expression of her love for deep color and shimmer packed finishes.
Part One of the Dream Polish Contest Collab
Before Tailfeather and La Rougeanne existed, our first duo stepped forward from the contest: two shades created by fans with entirely different moods and inspirations.
Magic Meadow created by Leah (@firexxlily)
Magic Meadow is a thermal polish that shifts from deep emerald when cold to a grassy green when warm with a soft holographic sparkle. Leah imagined a polish that felt like sunlight drifting through a forest. She envisioned something enchanted and earthy, something that captured movement and temperature the way real leaves respond to the seasons.
The final shade feels alive on the nail. Warmth brings out a gentle green and cooler moments deepen it into a mossy tone. It is nature core in polish form.
Red Sprite created by Robin (@theeldritchprofessor)
Red Sprite is a deep turquoise magnetic polish with a cherry red magnetic stripe and a sprinkle of silver reflective glitter. Robin has always been drawn to bold color contrasts. She imagined an electric streak of red cutting through a pool of blue. She wanted something that shifted, sparked, and changed with the angle of light.
The finished polish is striking, moody, and layered. The red magnetic effect floats over the teal base like a flash of light in water.
Why the Dream Polish Collab Matters
These four polishes represent something special in the Cirque universe. They are not just new shades. They are proof that inspiration can come from anywhere, from anyone, and from any part of your imagination.
Each Dream Polish began as a personal story.
A favorite memory.
A color that haunted someone in the best way.
A bird they loved.
A shade they always wished existed.
A spark of creativity that finally had a place to land.
The Dream Polish Collab is our way of honoring the people who wear our work and celebrating the creativity of our community. It is a reminder that polish is more than pigment. It is storytelling, emotion, and identity.
And as long as you keep dreaming, we will keep making those dreams real.
