Yesterday I showed you the 'after' potion of what I did with Hits Mari Moon Dreamer (one of the polishes I got in my swap) and said that I'd show you the 'before' part today, so I could give the polish the full attention it deserves. So here goes. :)
Dreamer is, at head-on first glance, a blue-purple duochrome. But even at this head-on glance, it's not typical. It has little micro-flecks of teal-blue and purple glitter that catch the light; you can see some below:

But then, when you start moving it around, it starts to shift, and the color intensifies. Not just through blues and purples, but through wines and golds, and finally into a full-on coppery red:
There it is! I can't take a picture of a manicure without a cotton fiber sticking to a nail...>.< |

Hits Dreamer...Never get tired of that rainbow of colors |
Hits Dreamer--yes, it really is that pretty. |
Yes, it really is that pretty. Every color that you see in the bottle shows up on your nails. Every time the light changes or you move your finger, a new color appears. The colors contrast and combine as you watch--it's mesmerizing.
I don't know what else to say except...man, I gotta get myself down to Brazil. With a really, really big empty suitcase. :)
Thanks for reading!

wooow... amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose Brazilian duochromes...:)
DeleteIts truly stunning. Mesmerizing
ReplyDeleteYou and your big big empty suitcase definitely have a place to crash when you decide to come, dear! Lmao. =D
ReplyDeleteLove the swatch!
Heck yeah!!! How fun would that be??
DeleteAaaawww... wouldn't that be lovely?! Just let me know and I'll take you to the places I went to get you the "babies".
DeleteAlso, for something around U$5 - U$7 you can go to a beauty salon and get your nails done, Brazilian style. We traditionaly remove our cuticles, but if you prefer they can moisturize and push yours. I usually take care of mine, because I think it's fun, but every now and then I go to the beauty salon, just to be pampered. =)
Plus, the southern part of the country, where I live, isn't exactly like what you probably expect. It's colder down here and the whole culture is different. It's like another coutry. I think you'd enjoy it!
I know I'd love it. I love traveling and seeing new places...and there's gorgeous polish!!!!!! :)
DeleteWow! That 4th photo is the best duo chrome photo ever--well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Honestly, though, it's hard -not- to get a good picture of this polish, lol. :)
