Phantasmal Collection
PRESS SAMPLES |
Starlight Polish is at it again! A new creature is being added to the Mythological family. Many will be cross posted in her shop as there are cross over polishes. Here's a little help understand which creatures coincide with which "unicorn pee or sibling". It's not too hard, Phoenix is red/gold/green, Dragon is green/gold, Kelpie is teal/violet, Unicorn is green to blue. Anything 'Song" includes holo. Chimera is a combination of the aforementioned 4 pigments. "Night" indicates a black jelly base and the Opal collection is flakie based in additional to the sibling creatures. Everything that is being added will include this new pigment/creature, Phantom. Join the
fan group, we have charts.
These will be permanent additions to their respective lines. Available starting November 9, 2018 from
Starlights Etsy shop, StarlightandSparkles.com and some will be available through international stockist,
Psyche's Beau.
- All photos taken in natural light, sunlight, and full spectrum T5 lights.
- undies are from pointer to pinky: Kat Von D Homegirl. Fancy Gloss Mustard and Olives (thermal so varies slightly in photos), Pretty Serious Baron Von Bootiful, Kat Von D Lovecraft.
- Most swatches show 2 coats of topper plus glossy or matte top coat but a few only one. One coat will have a noticeable effect in person, I just wanted it to have that wow factor for photos.
- All easy to apply, dry at an appropriate speed and require no special methods for application or removal.

PHANTOM
First up is Phantom. Issa describes it as follows – a color shifting shimmer top coat with blue to purple shifting UP sibling pigment. The color shift in Phantom isn’t as strong as in the other Mythological creatures, but it has a ghostly charm of its own despite that. The shimmer shifts from a brilliant blue to violet to purple, and to near invisibility. At certain angles, mostly seen in peripheral vision, there’s a barely-there blue glow – a haunting, phantasmal little glow that’s probably my favorite aspect of this topper!
$13.00 for 15mL, $9.00 for 7.5mL.
Personally I find the blue glow very obvious and I LOVE it! Beautiful on it's own and sepecially interesting when combined with the warmer toned shimmers.

PHANTASMAL CHIMERA
Phantasmal Chimera – a color shifting top coat made by combining five Mythological pigments (Phoenix, Dragon, Unicorn, Kelpie, and Phantom). The effect isn’t the obvious transition of a single pigment alone, but has more of a “points of light” effect. Phantasmal Chimera is cooler in tone than Chimera.
$13.00 for 15mL, $9.00 for 7.5mL.
This is obviously cooler than Chimera so if warm polishes aren't your jam this one is a great alternative. So many beautiful colors shifting in similar and contrasting ways.
