Amanita Moment
A nod to the fungi of fairytales. A sage green crelly filled with flakes that shift from red, orange, gold and green with a similar shifting shimmer.

Branching Out
A tri-thermal that echoes the hues of a dimly lit forest. Indigo when cold which goes to periwinkle as it warms up and finally a mint shade. The polish is packed with flakes that shift from gold to green, and aqua.

Dawn to Earth
The dark blue jelly base mimics the early morning skies as the sun begins to rise. The added shifting shimmer has hues of fuchsia, rose, and in some lights, peach, and gold.

Hidden Potential
A mysterious polish that starts with violet and a strong bronze to golden green shimmer in direct lighting. In indirect lighting, it shows a rainbow of hidden colors from a reddish copper, to burnt orange to gold, to green, blue, and navy and purple.

I'd Pick You

Mist Me
Echoes the churning waters with a slate blue base and a shifting shimmer with shades of copper and gold. The linear holo effect shows best under a bright spotlight.

No Illusions
Magical, that's all ya'll need to know.

Ok, here's a description. :)
A bright teal that shifts into emerald and blue, then purple and magenta. At some angles, gold and orange tones show. It looks like a real oil slick right on the nail, no photoshop trickery here. My photos are straight out of the camera, cropped and watermarked.

Alter Ego: Colorburst

Alter Ego has created a group polish for Holo-maniacs on facebook. The polish is available at https://wisconsinsoap.com/ today March 1 through 14.

Colorburst is a super sparkly glitterbomb packed with microglitters that are holo-yellow, orange, bright pink, red, lime green, blue and violet.
The inspiration for this polish is twin volcanos spewing lava.

Forumula was good, no issues to report. Shown in two coats with topcoat, after just the one coat of topcoat the surface of the polish is fairly smooth to the touch. If you like a textured polish, leave off the topcoat and it will have a fine grain texture.
