Indie January: Daring Digits Love Dragon

It's Day 22 of Indie January, and today's polish is Daring Digits Love Dragon, a sheer colour-shifting polish that flashes purple, pink, and copper.  I had ordered the set of Harry Potter polishes from Daring Digits for my sister for Christmas, and I was so excited when I opened the package and found this extra polish in there too! 

Since Love Dragon is meant to be an effect topper, I layered one perfect coat of it over OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest, and finished with one coat of Seche Vite.  

You can see the pink/purple shift in the photos, but I was having some trouble capturing the copper since it only showed at extreme angles (like the green flashes in Fantasy Fire).   

I wore this in the middle of a long glitter-only streak a week or two ago, so the colour-shifting shimmer was a lovely change!  

You can find Daring Digits on Etsy, their website, Facebook, and Tumblr. 

I mentioned at the beginning of the post that I got my sister the Daring Digits Harry Potter polish set for Christmas, and she has kindly (slightly begrudgingly) agreed to let me swatch them, so I'll have those on here soon too!  Love Dragon is a really beautiful polish, and I really enjoyed wearing it.  Thank you so much to Ashley for including this extra polish!  :)

Flakie Explosion

Dual post day!  You may have read my earlier post on Butter London Knackered, but if you missed it, go check it out now!

This post is something I've had in the vault for quite a while now; I just found it and figured it should be posted!  Over Sally Hansen Black Out, I've layered two coats of Daring Digits Ice, followed by one coat of Finger Paints Motley.  

This is my first (and so far, only) Finger Paints polish, but I found it on clearance at Sally's and since it was a flakie I immediately snatched it up!

I'm really impressed with these polishes, and love the layered combination of the two together.  Topped with Seche Vite, can't remember how many coats. 

I LOVE matte flakies, but unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of this one matte.  I've got a couple more posts lined up for over the long weekend, so be on the lookout for those!  :)

Daring Digits: Blueberry Square & Ice

Good morning!  Today I have for you a post that is long overdue on publishing due to me being away and subsequent computer problems, but I (finally) bring you two gorgeous polishes from Daring Digits! 

Blueberry Square is a glitter topper made of small matte white hexes and medium blue square glitter in a clear base.  The glitter in this one is pretty dense and I only needed one coat for good coverage.  No issues to report on the application here.  I had a really difficult time choosing what to layer this over, because it looked good over so many different polishes!  Here I've shown  one coat of Blueberry Square over one coat of Orly Snowcone. 

Next is Ice, which is a flakie topper that looks best over dark colours.  It is a multi-coloured flakie, but the colours are more pastel, making it unique in my collection!  The flakies were kind of sparse in this one so you can use one coat if you'd like a more subtle effect, but here I've used two easy coats of Ice over one coat of Sally Hansen Black Out.

And of course matte, because you know how much I love matte flakies. :)

You can but Daring Digits polishes on Etsy here, and keep an eye on their Facebook page.  There is such a huge collection of diverse polishes in store, so be sure to check it out because there's definitely something for everybody!  (Your wallets probably won't thank me for that.) 

I also wanted to let you guys know that about a week ago I was part of a guest blogger series over at Sweet Sugar Nails.  I did a "Best of You" post which you can view here.  While you're over there be sure to check out the rest of Gwenn's blog, she does some really amazing nail art!  Hope you all have a great day!  :)
