Cosmic Midnight Blues

This is Midnight from the Wet n Wild Holiday collection I believe. It photographed kind of weird. To my eye it was more of a medium purple.

It has great holo glitter pieces that were hard to capture because there was no sun out.

Indoor lighting.

Midnight looked sort of familiar so thought I would compare it to Duri "Midnight Blues" which I have posted before and Sally Hansen XTreme Cosmic Blue, which is a LE this season and I don't think I have posted yet.

Index: Duri, Middle and Pinky: W-n-W, Ring: SH Xtreme

There is no top coat so they look a little chunky.

SH has some weird bar glitter that doesn't shine through because the polish is kind of dense.

Little Treasures from Rite Aid

I stopped into Rite Aid one day looking for Sally Hansen "Hidden Treasure". I didn't find it, but I did find these little beauties. I just loved the new cute little bottles Petites is using for their "Color Fever" line. It's supposed to be a more richly pigmented polish. I spotted a few that looked like holos. I have also wanted to try CQ for awhile(the appear to be made by the same manufacturer as petites) so I grabbed that green beauty because it didn't look like anything else I owned, and it also seemed to have a little holo something going on.

I'll show you Creme Blue first. It's just what the name says, a pretty, almost robin's egg cream blue. I wee streaky on the first coat. This is two coats . It's a light blue, but still pretty rich.

Fairy pink, really does look like pale pink fairy dust on the nail. It's so pretty and there is just the slightest hint of some holo shimmer going on.

Daylight

Ahhhh...green gem. I was expecting a little more holo, but this was still amazing. I usually don't like green on my hands, but I loooooved this polish! I think I wore it for 4 days straight. The durability of it was pretty amazing to.

The real stunner though...are you ready for it?

POW! Black Diamond.

There are lots of holo shimmer particals floating around here! And it's a nice deep, dark black base. This is two coats.

I loved it so much I got some other colors out to compare.

Petites Color Fever "Black Diamond" vs. OPI "My Private Jet" vs. Color Club "Revvvolution: and China Glaze "Let's Do it in 3D"

My MPJ is the stinky "not very holo brown" version.

Nothing compares to the China Glaze Kaliedascope. But *I* think that in Black Diamond vs. Revvolution, Black Diamond comes out a winner! It's a darker black, which I really like.

Outside light

These were $2.99 each at Rite Aid, and when I got them they were BOGO 50% off, so that was nice. I'm really happy with all of them. The brushes on the petites are a little skinny for my taste, but the formula is so good, it didn't matter.

Blue Creams

Misa "On the Edge", Essie "Mesmorize" Orly "Calypso Breeze", Essie "shelter island" and Essie "Greenport"

Ah...I remember a time when I didn't have any blue nail polish. What a sad, colorless life it was. Fortunately I have ramped up my little collection...

Dark Glittery Blues

More goodies from my excessive TD haul!

Pinky - Index, OPI DS "Fantasy", Misa "A Sin Worth Committing", Orly "Bombay Sapphire" (actually I received this in a swap a few weeks ago) and Entity "Blue"

Entity Blue, Bombay Sapphire, A Sin Worth Committing and Fantasy.

Entity Blue, looks nothing like the pictures I saw on TD, but it's still pretty. As you can see none of these are dupes. Entity is slitghtly lighter and more shimmery than Bombay. Misa is lighter than both and Fantasy is it's own glorious shimmery blue. I can't decide which one to try first!

I love Blues!!!

Above we have Thumb to Pinky: Zoya Yummy, Zoya Jo, Zoya Kototi, Ring finger is Sinful "What's Your Name" because with the first coat of Kotori I thought they were very similar, but as you can see after three coats, side by side, they are quite different, pinky is Kotori layered over Yummy.

Below we have from Thumb to Pinky: Nubar Peacock Feathers CC Naughtycal Navy, Lippman Devil in a BLue Dress, SH In the Navy Sinful Midnight Blue

Index finger is Color Club Naughtycal Navy, Middle finger is Lippman Collection "Devil in a Blue Dress" They are wicked close!

Thumb to Pinky: Milani Antique, Essie Sag Harbor, Essie St. Barth's Blue, SH Gunmetal, Zoya Jo

Of course the day after I swatched these I got Orly's Bombay Saphire in the mail! Now I have to compare it to Naughtycal Navy and Devil in a Blue Dress!!
