Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 I bet you didn't think I was going to swatch this many awesome polishes, did you?!  Well, I even surprised myself.  I am not much of a swatcher, generally speaking.  :)
 These all started with a coat of base, a coat of Diamond Cosmetics Matte Black, a coat of the shown polish, and no top coat.  
 This is Star Jewel and holy cow, isn't is great?!
 It has that Peridot feel to it, only flecked out and uber foily looking!
 This is so stunning and very eye catching.  It's also quite smooth to the touch!
 Next is Splash Dream.
 Splash Dream shifts from purple to pink and is also very metallic and mega shiny.
 It applied easily and is quite a beauty to behold.
 It looks even more amazing in indirect light.
 Last up is Ever Blue.
 This one has a dramatic blue to purple shift.
 This reminds me of an old Sally Hansen HD polish, DVD.  I often had trouble with the formula on those, though.
 The brilliant metallic look to these three polishes is just breathtaking.
 If you like shiny, shimmery, metallic, glass-flecked, brilliant, shifty, bright, gorgeous colors, you will loooove these!
Thanks to Issa for providing these to me for review.  You can learn more about Starlight and Sparkles polishes here.

 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!

 I decided to be lazy and swatch Starlight and Sparkles polishes Unicorn and Phoenix together, alternating fingers.
 For these swatches, I have used base coat, one coat of Nails Inc. Black Taxi, and a coat of either Unicorn or Phoenix.
 Unicorn is on the index and ring fingers while Phoenix is on the middle and pinky.
 It was getting ready to storm, but I actually think that this type of light brings out the shift very well in these polishes!
 Unicorn shifts from green to blue and Phoenix shifts from red to gold.
 These polishes applied easily and with no trouble at all.
 I was so pleased at how bright and lovely they are!
 These pictures show the red to gold shift in Phoenix quite nicely!

 Now, I hardly ever use my flash.  I kind of hate it and I'm not very talented with the camera.  But check out what it did to the colors!!
 Cool!

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.
