Alter Ego: Nov COTM Golden Topaz

The Alter Ego Color of the Month or COTM polish is coming up!
It will launch on Nov 1 at the Alter Ego shop!

Golden Topaz
Warm and shiny like sunlight beaming across a sandy beach. Filled with tiny particles of sparkling gold, this polish can be used alone or as a topper.
My first set of photos is two coats with topcoat. The formula for this is great, it applies evenly and smooth.

What a perfect holiday topper over green or red! Shown in one coat over two shades, plus topcoat.

Rogue Lacquer: Blurple-Winkle Group Custom

Rogue Lacquer has created a beautiful custom polish for the Blurple-Winkle facebook group. It will be available on the Rogue Website on October 13.

Peri Twinkle is a squishy, golden flake packed periwinkle crelly. Shown in three coats with topcoat, formula was good and easy to apply.

It is definitely an eye catcher, the way the flake twinkles! Can be worn in fewer coats for a sheer feminine look.

KBShimmer: Beignet Done That

KBShimmer's Beignet Done That is inspired by the classic green, purple and gold colors of Mardi Gras.

The polish is described in it's listing as a green to purple multichrome with gold flakes and micro holo flakes.

I love how Christy has captured all the colors of Mardi Gras in one polish. It's shifty and glamorous, just like the parades! I wore two coats with topcoat for photos, the formula was good with no issues to report.

Twisting Nether: Holiday Collection

I'm excited for the opportunity to share a new to me brand with you, Twisting Nether. She has a bangin Black Friday sale, a new collection (shown below) and many more polishes for us!

If you like what you see, head over to her shop for the Black Friday sale and try a few!

I enjoyed the formulas for all of these, smooth, fluid, almost buttery-like. No streaks, no clumps, no goo - just smooth easy application. The bottles are equipped with squared-off flat brushes which allow great control over where the polish lands on the nail (less clean up, yay!).

Kasi has made twelve different polishes for us, from toppers to crellies, even a vampy multichrome! There is something for everyone in this holiday collection releasing on Black Friday.

Freshly Fallen Snow

Frosty
Holo base with light and dark blue holo glitter mix and white matte glitter in different sizes.
2 coats shown, I like the look of it this way but you could also sponge it on for an even more dense look. Also works well as a topper.

Sugar Plum Fairy
Clear base filled with purple, pink, lavender and magenta galaxy glitters, violet-pink-gold ucc flakes and purple-red aurora shimmer
2 coats shown with topcoat. Such a pretty glitter bomb! Loving it this way, but also works well as a topper.

You're a Mean One
Trithermal: Dark green when cold to medium green to light green when warm. Filled with holo, gold galaxy holo glitters, red/gold aurora shimmer, copper-red-green-gold and copper-green-gold chameleon flakies.

2 coats shown with topcoat. This is my first trithermal and it was so much fun to watch it shift and change as I dunked it in ice water. My hands are almost always hot, so I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to capture all three shades, but the change was gradual enough that I was able to see all of them for good amount of time. What a fun polish!






Winter's Kiss
Trithermal: Purple when cold to sky blue to light blue filled with p urple-blue-indigo crystal chameleon flakies, holo flakes, silver galaxy holo glitters, holo and aqua and purple sparks.

2 coats shown with topcoat. This is my first trithermal and it was so much fun to watch it shift and change as I dunked it in ice water. The three colors of this one lasted for a good amount of time just like the green one, so it was fairly easy to shoot. What a fun polish!

Happy New Year!
Thermal: Black when cold to clear when warm. Filled with holo, red/gold aurora shimmer, gold flakes, gold galaxy holo glitters.
2 coats shown with topocat. Although the description says this is black, it is more of a warm brown/black to my eye. I suspect the glints of red and gold play this trick on me, but I love it. :)

Holly
Green base with holo pigment, holo flake, silver holo glitter blend, and silver galaxy holo glitter.
2 coats shown and I quite like the finished look here, for a more opaque look add another coat.

Jolly
Red base with holo pigment, holo flake, silver holo glitter blend, and silver galaxy holo glitter.
2 coats shown with topcoat, sister to the above polish. The two would look great together with some nail art!

The North Pole Of Course!
Blue-aqua-purple multichrome with holo and silver galaxy glitters
2 coats shown, formula was great. I find the shift more apparent as I switch between different sources of light from bright to dim.

Nailart! I stamped snowflakes from MR-01 with Joss Blue Shimmer over Freshly Fallen Snow then topped with Frosty for a beautiful wintery manicure.
I've shown it both glossy and matte because I couldn't decide which way I liked it more. Which is your favorite?
