Hello!
For this month's Mythology PPU theme, The Lady Varnishes chose one of my favorite mythological Godesses: Pele! If you don't know her, she's the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes. She's often depicted with lava floes as tendrils of her hair, and legend has it she fell in love with, and seduced, her sister's husband.
Yowza. That's some fiery passion.
To honor her, The Lady Varnishes created She Lavas Me, She Lavas Me Not, a deep blue jelly-based polish filled with color shifting flakies and glitter:

Coverage: two coats
Formula and application: Jelly based; Excellent application.
Other issues: None--I wondered if this would stain, but I wore it for a couple of days, and it didn't.
This. Is. Stunning. I love how she captured the look of lava, and I love that she chose a dark blue base rather than a black base, because part of Pele's legends involve her lava floes clashing into the ocean. When I visited the Big Island, I was lucky enough to see where those floes met water--it's an amazing sight, especially at night.
I love the dark, dangerous beauty of this, so had to do something vampy but classy with my nail art:
