Indie January: CrowsToes Cheshire

It's day 7 of Indie January, which is also my first day back at school and dance after Christmas break.  From here on out, it will really be a challenge to post every day; thank goodness for scheduled posts!  To make this sad Monday a little more cheerful, I've got a stunning glitter topper to show you!  (Castle Mani Mondays  will be suspended for the duration of Indie January.)

CrowsToes Cheshire is a perfect mix of purple, pink, silver holo, and yellow glitters with a few odd large matte magenta hexes thrown in for good measure.  That cat used to creep me out, but I'm in love with this polish!


I dabbed one coat of Cheshire over two coats of Zoya Savita, and they work perfectly together!  This polish is literally packed with glitter, so application was tricky.  To get an even coating of glitter, I started by wiping the brush off to remove as much glitter as I could; I then dipped only the tip of the brush into the polish to grab just a little glitter, held the brush parallel to my nail, and dabbed the glitter on using the whole side of the brush.  I found it much easier to get a perfect even coating of glitter this way without any patchiness or clumpy bits!  However, it still needs at least two coats of top coat (shown here.) 


This polish is so glittery, and it's my favourite colour too!  I love red-toned purples, and I think that Zoya Savita made a perfect canvas for the glitter to shine! (Sparkle?) 


CrowsToes polish is currently in stock on Llarowe, and follow The Polished Crow's blog for updates. 

Are you a fan of this polish?  Did the Cheshire Cat creep you out too when you were younger? Haha! :P
