Enchanted Polish Starbright Sparkles and NOPI One Less Lonely Glitter

Tonight I've got two different layering combinations shown over Zoya Bela, a pale pinky-peach jelly, to share with you. The first layering combo features Enchanted Polish's Starbright Sparkles. Starbright Sparkles features a sheer silvery holographic base containing a multitude of different coloured hexagonal glitters. This polish is definitely best layered because of the sheer base, and I think the holographic nature of this would be best displayed over a darker colour- I'll definitely be trying that next time. 




The second combination I have to show you is Nicole by OPI's One Less Lonely Glitter. This one is a delicate and pretty mixture of fine metallic pale purple glitter. What you see below is one coat over Zoya Bela.




If you recall, "One Less Lonely Glitter" is from the NOPI Justin Bieber collection which came out a couple years ago. Yes, a truly gag-worthy inspiration for a nail polish collection. Almost as bad as the Kardashian collections...


...but the truth is, while this lacquer is pretty enough, the reason I picked it up was so I had a reason to post this video. I hope you get a laugh out of it!

Enchanted Polish - Vampire's Dessert

Today I have a lovely Enchanted Polish to share with you- this is Vampire's Dessert, a gorgeous deep brown linear holographic polish. I love how this looks like molten dark chocolate, with a bit of velvety red/brown shimmer thrown in just to top it off. The holographic effect in this is apparent indoors, but really lights up in direct sunlight. The formula was perfect, and what you see below is two coats. 





Just looking at this makes me hungry for chocolate cake! Delicious. And it has such an awesome (and fitting!) name. What do you think of Vampire's Dessert?

Multichrome Madness: Enchanted Polish I Am The Walrus + Bonjour Paris

If you haven't tried any of Enchanted Polish's incredible multichromes, you're probably missing out. Case in point? Enchanted Polish's I Am The Walrus, an amazing multicoloured splendour that shifts from purplish red to orangey gold to something approaching green. Oh, did I mention it also has scattered holographic particles? Feast your eyes:







As if that wasn't enough, I topped this manicure off with Enchanted Polish's Bonjour Paris, a colour-shifting glitter topcoat. Bonjour Paris is mostly purple and blue with some flashes of red and gold. Combined with I Am The Walrus, this was pretty mind-blowing.




I haven't seen this much multichrome awesomeness since THIS happened. What do you think of this manicure? Do you own any Enchanted Polish lacquers?

Enchanted Polish - Austin Powers

Today I have a gorgeous lacquer to show you- Enchanted Polish Austin Powers. This is my first Enchanted Polish, and I can't believe I've waited so long to try these! Austin Powers is a stunning gold holographic (the linear kind), and it's so blazingly holographic that even in low lighting it's practically glowing. Honestly, I wore this into a theatre one evening, and I could see it blazing away even in the dim lighting before the show began. Incredible! 


Here it is in artificial lighting:


This picture was taken indoors out of direct light, and in person I could still tell it was holographic, although it doesn't really translate in this picture. What's interesting is the way the gold particles look on the nail- I don't really know how to describe it. They're these slightly chunky gold particles, some of them leaning more copper. Very intriguing.


Overall, I'm extremely happy with this polish- and it's impressed me enough that it gets a coveted "awesome" tag. I've never seen such a polish so extremely holographic, and unabashedly gold. Very blingy, and perfectly "Austin Powers". 

I purchased this lacquer via Llarowe, who stocks several Enchanted Polish lacquers, but you'll have to snap them up quick when they get re-stocked, because they tend to disappear in a short space of time. **Edited to add: it seems this lacquer has been discontinued- I'm not sure about any plans to reintroduce it in the future, but if I hear anything, I'll be sure to let everyone know!**

I'll end this post with a bit of exciting news- I've been working hard on a Pirate Polish Halloween collection, and my delightfully ghoulish shades will be revealed in the coming week! Stay tuned. ;)
