Starlight Polish Mythological Opals

STARLIGHT POLISH MYTHOLOGICAL OPALS

5 opalescent shimmer/flakie combination toppers

 The Mythological Opal collection is five flakie effect toppers that combine aurora flakes (the larger, flake versions of aurora pigments) and colorshifting "unicorn pee" and 'unicorn pee sibling" pigments.  They are truly opalescent and stunning and best of all not limited edition except for the fact that these special shimmers are rare and discontinued. I am thrilled to swatch for the lovely Issa once again and I actually gasped when I unwrapped these. My bottle shot does not do the multi-faceted beauties justice. They are packed with flakies and shimmer. These are a continuation and extension of the current Mythological collections. If you are familiar with those collections you will easily find your favorite creature/ color-shift shimmer (u.p. sibling). I have also taken macro videos and posted them to IG. They are linked here for the most part, I'll edit the final 2 in as I post them.

 This collection will be available in the Starlight and Sparkles etsy shop on June 29th and at stockist Psyche’s Beau on June 30th at 12pm PST for those of you who are international or want to add other brands to your order. 

15ml bottles will be $16.00 usd and 7.5ml bottles are $11.00.
Personally I have no trouble using this size bottle, it feels like a full size in the hand and has a full sized brush so if you are on a budget (or own approximately eleventy billion polishes like me) this is a great option.

All of my photos are taken in natural light and show 1 coat of each topper over various  bases EXCEPT the very last mani which I will describe at the end. Topped with Vapid's topcoat and a matte from Finger Paints.

They were all very easy to use, not too thick or thin, appropriate dry time for ease of use. Flakes lay down nicely and don't require fishing. No trouble with removal, flakes slide right off unlike glitter.

 Unicorn Opal - an iridescent flake and shimmer topper with green to blue shifting aurora flakes (large flake versions of the aurora pigments) and green to blue UP sibling pigment, which shifts from cool green to deep blue, and flashes turquoise and vivid indigo at the extremes of its color range.

I love this most over grey and red but it does show up over the blue better in person. Used solo on the thumb nail and over:

Ring: Cirque Succulent
Pinky: Unicorn Garnet

CHIMERA OPAL

All the Opals (one coat  each) over Starlight Obsidian. The shimmer base really pops over black and makes it easy to see the differences. I tried to get all my fingers into one shot but sadly my hand doesnt work that way without a third arm so..you get these funky collages. Video here.

Ring: Kelpie Opal
Pinky: Unicorn Opal




Last but not least this is each topper sandwiched between an unknown number of layers of Shleee Strawberry Moon 4.0. I wanted to make it truly opal like so I did a normal amount of coats of each
(approximately 3) and then I didn't like the Shleee on top.  Video here. This goes as follows:

Middle: Dragon Opal
