I've been "WillaDodge" on makeupalley for eight years now. This is my blog dedicated to my love of nail polish. Mmmmm nail polish...
Found it at Dollar Tree in a 2-pack with
Look at the holo-prettiness!
It's called Purple Diamond, but to my eye, it really is more pink than purple.
I almost think I like this more than China Glaze's LOL and BFF! Almost.
The bottom color was Petites Color Fever - "Black Diamond" with a layer of Lippman "Today was a Fairy Tale". One of my first full-size Lippman polishes. Supposedly it has "Virgin Diamond Dust" in it or something. But honestly, I bought it for the name, my nieces are obsessed with Taylor Swift, and I couldn't resist a polish named after one of her songs! :)
This one looked interesting on the shelf. It's a pretty medium blue with blue and magenta glitter. It seems to go on matte? I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a matte polish. The above and below pictures are index finger with top coat and middle finger without.
Now, even with topcoat, the chunky, lumpiness of the glitter doesn't go away. I generally find that pretty annoying. But this was such an interesting looking color, that it's almost okay.
Here is Concrete, sitting on some actual concrete.
It's definitely got a lavender/grey thing going on. Very pretty. I could have sworn SH already had this color out and it was more putty colored, but it's included in the LE display in stores now and it looks like this. I found them at Rite Aid BOGO free.
This is concrete and mystic lilac side by side. Mystic lilac has a really pretty teal-green shimmer to it and it a slightly less grey lavender, if that makes sense.
Mystic Lavender
I wanted to love it, but once I had it on and wore it for a day or so, I didn't really like how it looked with my skin tone, and I almost never say that about any color. It's still a really interesting addition to my colection though.
It took me about a month to track this down in person. Okay maybe 2 weeks, but the wait was excruciating. I went to at least 5 different Sally's. The one I normally go to, told me they had them in the back, but couldn't sell them to me until October 1st. TORTURE!
Why did I want this so bad? I love Zombie movies! Plus, I love this shade of green and it's a shimmery green, what's not to love!
I didn't compare Purple Gala to Mr. Wrong, but I did compare it to two of the Orly Cosmic FX polishes. Verdict=none of them are alike. :)
It took me awhile to track these down. This one is star, which is a purple glitter with silver hex glitter. I layered it over Color Club High Society to show off the purple.
I thought it came out kind of neat!
