dahling

Another new one, though apparently not even the newest (slow down, people!!), it seems I just can't keep up with new kittens and school. But I didn't want to keep going until it reached an entire month without a post. This beautiful black polish from the Zoya Pixie Dust collection is called Dahlia and was gifted from a lovely polish friend. 

I sort of held off on posting because I wanted to take a shot of the bottle before I posted it and I couldn't find it when I was taking pictures *kicks self* bottle shot to come. In the bottle it just looks like a boring black and silver glitter polish.

These Pixie Dust polishes seem to really sparkle when the light catches them and then dull a little in the shade, giving two different looks. My boyfriend commented on the black several times and actually seemed sad when I took this one off, "it's like you've got asphalt on your nails!" Cute.

jo'mean it's only $7?!

I was lucky to find this and a couple other Illamasquas for $7 at the JCP Sephora sale! Awesome! 

After seeing getting this for a friend and seeing many swatches, I actually thought it was a purple that might work for me and a gorgeous color in general. One of those "neon pastels" that is so interesting. I think they describe it as "electric lilac." 

Formula? Perfection. Color? Amazing--a bit hard to get a good pic, better to see in person.

Not really a fan of any of my glitter attempts. Did the crop to give an idea of how it looks sans toppings.
