Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 This is a swatch of Sephora + Pantone Waterfall.
 I used a coat of FingerPaints Black Expressionism with a coat of Waterfall.  I did use base and top coat as well.
 I goofed the index finger a bit because I was being impatient and didn't let the black dry enough before painting Waterfall over top.  It just looks a little bit extra thick is all.
 I'm a sucker for any blue to purple duochrome and I love me some shimmer, so this was a no brainer.  The question, of course, is, do I have a dupe?  I really have no idea!
 I imagine this would be quite pretty and delicate on its own with about three coats, too.
 Next is a sad swatch of Revlon Enthrall.  Sad, because the weather did not cooperate during swatch time, so I did not get nearly as good of pictures as I had hoped for.
 This is two easy coats shown in indoor lighting above and slightly blurry outdoors below (there was a giant black cloud right over my head!).  This polish smells extra stinky - sort of like Nubar Diamont, if I'm remembering right.
I love the flaky-like shimmer.  So so pretty!  If you enjoy almost black olive-y sort of colors, then you'll need to get this one for sure.

 Here is a swatch of Two Birds Fly-ceratops.  I used Revlon Haunted Heart (two coats) as my underwear.
 Fly-ceratops has big black squares, medium blue squares, and small neon green glitters.  It applied easily and I think the glitters distributed themselves pretty nicely across the nails.
 I apologize for the smudgy bit on my ring finger.  Apparently I did not wait long enough between coats and rushed my swatch.  In my defense, I was hurrying to get the last of the sun light.  :)
 I actually have Revlon Haunted Heart on by itself as my pedi.
You can find Fly-ceratops and other awesome Two Birds nail polishes on Etsy here.  Fly-ceratops was provided to me for review.  Thanks so much, Sarah!

 I have more Starlight and Sparkles swatches for you!  Nayru is shown above, over black, with NO top coat.  A little bumpy by itself.
 Here it is with a coat of Glitter Tamer over top.  Much better!!
 Nayru is so uber sparkly and twinkly and amazing.  It reminds me of some celestial fantasy.
 There is so much dimension and energy to it!
 I could look at this for a very long time and be quite content.  :)
 Nayru applied easily, like all my other Starlight and Sparkles polishes have, and aside from needing some extra top coat, it is completely fantastic!

 See how complex and interesting the different shades of blue are?  Like tiny twinkling blue stars.
 Next is Farore.  Here I have also swatched with base coat, one coat of Diamond Cosmetics Matte Black, a coat of Farore, and a coat of Glitter Tamer (Lynnderella).
 Farore has complex twinkles of green, bronze, and gold.  It's really quite fascinating.
 I must confess that I have had very little luck with my Glitter Tamer in the past, but it sure came in handy for swatching purposes here!  It didn't give me any trouble this time and dried very quickly as well.
 Super shiny, mega twinkly awesomeness!
 It looks slightly foggy in bright, direct light.  I'm not sure why, but it definitely does not detract from the beautiful shimmer.
 As usual, I have taken far too many pictures!  I do hope that you enjoy them.  :)
 You can see the colors of the tiny sparkles more clearly in indirect light.
 Din is last, but not least, in the trio of "color shifting sparkle glitter top coats."
 Din is warmer with copper, bronze, and gold accents.
 It almost looks like tiny embers or sparks.
 Check out the flashes of copper coming from the index finger!!
 This one also has a bit of the foggy or milky look to it, but only when it's in direct and very bright light (I probably sound crazy here, but I'm referring to the base color and not the sparkles).
 Din is absolutely gorgeous, just like Farore and Nayru!

 Here are a couple of slightly blurry pictures I took indoors, near a window.  I liked how the sparkle really stood out and came alive.
 Next I am going to show you the Starlight holographic top coat.
 You could use this over any type of polish and color, but I chose to show it here over simple black and white.  For the white I used two coats of Revlon Powder Puff.
 I only used one coat of Starlight over top of the black and white, and no top coat.
 I dipped my brush twice when painting the index nail, versus the ring fingernail, and you can probably appreciate the slight differences in opacity shown.
 Also, I apologize for the botched spot on my pinky nail near the cuticle.  I bumped it with my cuticle oil pen tip and couldn't be bothered to re-do it!
 This would definitely look great over just about everything, I imagine.
You can find Starlight and Sparkles polishes at Issa's Etsy store here.  Thanks to Issa for generously providing these to me for review!

 This is two coats of Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum over two coats of Revlon Powder Puff.  I finished the mani with two coats of Seche Vite.
 This is my first time wearing a Dollish Polish!  I ordered several recently from the Etsy shop here.  Expecto Patronum is obviously a reference to Harry Potter, yet I couldn't help but be convinced of and obsessed with the fact that my nails reminded me of Wintergreen Certs mints!  Or maybe Spearmint?  Tasty mints, in any case.  I love this look!
Here you can better see the delicate golden orange flakies in Expecto Patronum.  Super cool!

 You've probably never seen this here before...
 a sheer polish with VNL!
 I don't even know what possessed me.  This is three coats of the new Revlon ColorStay Calla Lily by itself.
 Then I added two coats of Lynnderella's Snow Angel.
 The light is very warm here, but also I feel self-conscious that my nails look stained.
 I do like how it's sort of fresh, clean, and lacy looking.
 Here are pictures indoors, where the light is cooler.
Sadly, this mani did not last long at all (we're talking a few hours) and I totally blame the Revlon ColorStay base coat because that's about the only suspect thing that I used.


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
