Essie Smooth Sailing

This was elusive. I would visit a store hoping to find it and the slot would be empty. I finally found a bottle hiding in the candy aisle of a Rite Aid. Ha! I took that as a sign that I deserved the bag of M&M's it was sitting on. They were tasty and this polish is gorgeous! Subtle glass flecks in a dusty perwinkle purple base.





XO Jackson Hole Jasmine

I know nothing about the brand XO. It caught my interest because it's green and a duochrome. It has a flash of pink/bronze which you can't really see in the photos. Hmph! This is one coat over OPI Green-Wich Village. It has a very nice glow to it.





Nails Inc Kensington Palace

A greyed out dusty blue shimmer. One coat over a grey creme. I believe this is now discontinued. Pity.







Ozotic Elytra 528

Don't forget about the giveaway!

It's funny but I'm not sure I love this polish. I would have thought I would be drooling over it. A multi-chromatic glitter?! Yes, please! But something is keeping me from putting this in the "love" category. It may be that I feel limited because the best base is black or something equally dark to showcase it best. I may have to tinker with it.

I think, and I am surprised by this, I prefer the KleanColor Chunky Holo collection. Hm. That's good for my wallet at least.











Here is a quick swatch of it over white.



Brucci Sylvia's Pretty in Purple

I'm playing with adding a watermark to photos. Please do let me know if it gets in the way of seeing the polish.

This is a lovely lilac with a slight dusty feel. Great formula. Sometimes I just want a nice creme though I am thinking that it needs glitter or stamping. Brucci does have some odd names. I suspect that if I worked for them I would know who these people are that get their name associated with a polish.

What would your polish name be? I claim "Kristina's Gangrene" so you can't have it!
