ManGlaze - Royal Matterimoaning and Nail Pattern Boldness - Cosmic Debris

Ah the days of weeks ago when I swatched these and there was sun.  Now Raincouver is back in full swing.  I cannot expect to have the planets align in such a way that there will be sun and I will not be at work AND I will have time to swatch.  So my coming swatches will likely be in the several different strange lightings throughout my house and overcast outdoor lighting.

Here is ManGlaze Royal Matterimoaning 2 coats

Now because I purchased these mostly for layering, here it is with 1 coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Cosmic Debris.

ManGlaze can be purchased @: Their site or Amazon or Facebook

Nail Pattern Boldness can be purchased @: Her etsy shop and Llarowe

Cover Girl - Mystic Peacock + Love & Beauty - Blue/Green

Cover Girl Mystic Peacock is a shimmery teal in a blackened base. It reminds me a bit of Barielle Blackened Bleu. It was fairly sheer but this is 3 coats which built up nicely. No topcoat.

I then added Love & Beauty Blue/Green on top (thanks Amy!)

Aaand back outdoors.

It was really hard to catch the duochrome on camera. Blue/Green is amazing! A true duochrome it is very very sheer. This is 2 coats over top of Mystic Peacock. It flashes between blue, teal/green and pink. It is gorgeous! I imagine it would look good over most dark colours. In the sun (which was incredibly fleeting on swatch day and for days to come I imagine) it is a foily awesome blue/teal. It does not get all spangly duochromey in the sun. The sun is not the best friend of duochromes I find, which is why I am ok that the fall is upon us! Holos for summer, duos for fall and Reece is a happy girl :)

Dark & Glittery! China Glaze - Meteor Shower & Skyscraper

These are both beautiful. Do love!

This is skyscraper. 3 coats? Not too chunky. No topcoat here. Sorry for my messy pics. I had been swatching a lot and there were glitter herpes everywhere.

Meteor shower. I adore you! Dark and vampy blue jelly base with many square glitters of rainbow awesomesauce. 2 coats no top. Maybe 3 coats? I should really write this down if I am not posting on the same day.

The weather blows today. Perfect for duos! Perhaps today will be a duo swatching day ;o)

OPI - Sapphire in the Snow & NOPI - Canadian Star

Sapphire in the snow is gorgeous. Moxie I lurve you! It does not look as dark as it is in these pics.

This was 2 coats with no topcoat. It makes me want Roadhouse Blues. I know they are supposed to be relatively similar. I absolutely love this polish. Smooth, creamy perfection. So deep! I cannot wait to rock out the jewel tones this fall.

Canadian Star really took the panties and twisted them though!

Here she is in full sun

She likes to skulk around in the shadows though. Look how frigging gorgeous she is in the shade!!

Canadian star is sheer. You need to layer it. Layer it over something dark and pull it into the shadows and make love to it with your eyes!

OPI - Glacier Bay Blues

This is one of my favourite OPIs. I really do love it. I love the old formula skinny brush, and the old formula! The duochrome on this doesn't slap you in the face but it is there ;o)

What's that you say? You want far too many pictures of the same damn polish? Well hold your horses!

Intermission

What's this now? You want me to layer some random Billie polish that I forget the name of over top and then post far too many pictures of that combination? Done and done :D

I am too lazy to go and look at the bottle to determine the name of this polish. So pretty glitter! It's like.. glitter and stuff.. in a greenish sort of blue kinda jelly base.

With 1 speck of red glitter. The cherry on.. bottom?

I have decided I never want to have my nails that long again. It makes typing cumbersome and my nails grow all wonky. The ring finger likes to grow super fast and flare out a bit, and the pointer seems to want to grow slower and curve in. Stupid nails.
