Magical Mystery Tour is a beautiful shade of violet shimmer polish with blue hex and micro glitter throughout. It builds well in two coats, but I did a few extra swipes up the sides, as the sides of my nails always seem to have less coverage/thinner coats.

Just look how glowy it is on the nail! -swoon-

Magical Mystery Tour looks great mattified with NYC Matte Me Crazy, take a look!

NYC Matte Me Crazy is a recent purchase and I have found that it gives more of a satin finish than matte. It also takes a little longer to dry compared to other matte top coats I've tried.
If you're after a satin finish and don't mind the dry time, do check it out!

I really love Magical Mystery Tour from Whimsical Ideas, it was so freaking easy to apply - like brushing butter over my nails! No glitter fishing or dabbing, no bare spots, no cuticle drag, nada. Piece o' cake!
This is one of my favorites from Whimsical Ideas polish line, what are yours?

Who's your hero?

I have a few, but the first that come to mind are my mom and my dad. They always had all the answers, knew how to make a scrape feel better with a magical kiss, picked me up when I fell and made my world a magical place.

With them in mind, I present Whimsical Polish Super Hero!
