MYTHOLOGICAL NIGHT COLLECTION
Heeeeey errybody! ;) Today I have 7 beautiful new polishes from Starlight and Sparkles to show you.I am excited to be working with them as I love shimmer polishes, especially shifty ones. I have noticed that they don't seem well known which is such a shame.
Issa is debuting a new 10 piece collection titled Mythological Night and a new Mythological creature that is included in this and 2 other lines. There will be 5 blackened jelly color shifting shimmers and 5 black glitter and shimmer polishes. Most of these colors are the dark counterparts to light versions already available, except Kelpie and Chimera which are new.
I received 5 polishes from the Mythological Night collection and 2 Chimera polishes, additions to Mythological topcoats and Mythological.Auroras. I will give details of each individual polish as I go. These color shifting shimmers are so pretty and vampy but I actually fall in love with a topper. Who AM I? It's that good.
I really tried to a get nice outdoor group shot of these but the mosquitoes were insane! I covered completely up except my hands and face and they still bite my face 3 times in the 5 minutes I did this :/.Okay, let's get down to business, to defeat...err i mean..swatches!! (I have been on a musical kick lately, even more than usual :p. I watched 4 Disney and Pixar movies today while doing all of this.)
DRAGON NIGHT
Mythological Night Collection
This is a cool black base with shimmer that shifts through bronze/gold, emerald green, and flashes of orange and teal at the edges and extreme angles. I didn't get to see teal but I haven't had a chance to wear it for a few days and observe it in all lighting conditions.
Coats: 2 thick, with topcoat
Price: $14.00 for 15 ml and $6.50 for 5 ml

KELPIE NIGHT
Mythological Night Collection
Kelpie Night is described as a cool black base with shimmer that shifts from teal to violet and flashes aqua and purple at the extreme edges. I wasn't able to observe or capture the violet or purple but it's definitely there in the bottle. I didn't have ideal lighting conditions today.
Coats: 3 regular coats with topcoat
Formula: easy to use, these do not run or pool but are a little streaky. Getting more polish on my brush solves the problem.
Price: $14 for 15 ml, $6.50 for 5 ml

| Daylight. I did this reverse stamping using all 4 of the Mythological Night polishes that I received. Stamp is Emily de Molly circle plate 12, and different Dimension Not in the Loop. |
PHOENIX NIGHT
Mythological Night Collection
This has a cool black base that shifts from red to gold to green and flashes vivid red and bright green at extreme angles. It's what some may call unicorn pee ;). It shows mainly red in direct lighting but those other colors are there.
Coats: 3 regular coats, top coat
Formula: same as the others, built up easily.
Price: $14.00 for 15 ml, $6.50 for 5ml

LED Daylight bulbUNICORN NIGHT
Mythological Night Collection
Cool Black base with shimmer that shifts from cool pine green to deep blue and flashes turquoise and vivid indigo. I think this one may actually be my favorite of these but I'm not sure, it's so hard to choose!
Coats: 3 regular coats
Formula: slightly streaky but builds up nicely.
Price: $14.00 for 15 l, $6.50 for 5 ml
As a side note, these also stamp but it's subtle against black and white.

CHIMERA AURORA NIGHT
Mythological Night Collection
Cool black base containing the shimmers used in Phoenix,Unicorn,Dragon, and Kelpie (also new!) polishes and iridescent glitter used in the Auroras. There isn't an obvious color shift but Issa describes Chimera as a points of light effect and I agree.
Coats: 3 with topcoat.
Formula: easy to use and builds up really well. Removal required very little force and no special methods.
Price: 15 ml: $16.50, 5 ml: $7

LED Daylight bulbCHIMERA
Mythological Top Coats
The newest addition to the top coats collection, Chimera ended up being my favorite of the bunch! It's almost like holo but in shimmer form that allows the base to shine through. A whole slew of magical creatures excreted something on ma nails!The name is very clever since its a hybrid animal. This is a combination of Unicorn, Phoenix, Dragon, and Kelpie pigments. I wore it over cremes only so it would be very clear what it look like but you better believe I'm slapping this over some shimmers soon! Especially purple...I liked it best over grey so I did a full swatch of it.
Coats: 2 over each creme. Obvious at 1 but I did 2 just to make sure it was visible in photos. Top coated.
Formula: easy peasy, since its clear based the thin brush didn't cause much of a concern.
Price: $12.50 15 ml, $5.75 5 ml

Bet you can figure out the description of this one;) Can you tell I'm tired? haha
It looked so beautiful in the bottle I had to take a macro. #sorrynotsorry. Um....I didn't realize the label is holographic?! I put this over the same 4 cremes as above.
Coats: 1 coat over each base, topcoat.
Formula: Very easy to work with, tons of pigment and glitter, but easy and quick to remove, barely any scrubbing
Price: 15 ml $15.50, 5 ml $6.75

Did you make to the bottom ? Congrats and thank you! These will be releasing the evening of Friday the 13th, I don't have an exact time. I can't wait to see swatches of the other 8, especially Kelpie polishes! Do you have a favorite here? I'm clearly a green lover but I'm pretty sure everyone needs Chimera and it's a such a good price for a topper with these pigments. Follow Starlight and Sparkles for updates, I will link social media below.
International customers, these will be available soon at Psyche's Beau.

Friends, readers, I am exhausted. I want to be interesting and chatty but i just don't have it in me today. Is "Hey look, pretty polish!" an acceptable intro? .....Imma use it anyway. ;p.This is Emily de Molly Room for More, from her recent Anniversary trio. It's a really eye-catching shade of lime green neon, yet soft in a way. There's this absolutely beautiful banana yellow shimmer running throughout and little silver flakes. My camera was totally freaked by this in all types of lighting. I added some warmth to get closer to color accurate but I don't think we're at 100% . Anytime you are not sure about a color, please check multiple reviews. This was a bit brighter or maybe more saturated than I expected. I have a little quirk where I love these types of greens in the bottle and then hate them on my nails. I bought this partly to use in my polish jewelry pieces and it works beautifully in them. However, I asked for stamping advice and got several good suggestions to break it up and tone down somewhat. I really enjoyed the result and in the future will try white, turquoise, and olive.
- Stamped with a dark green from Jolie polish and EdM round plate 29. The round plates are discontinued so jump on that asap!
- 3 coats with topcoat. This was a bit thick and I needed 3 coats to get it smooth and even.
- No trouble removing or staining, good wear.
All photos are under my LED daylight bulb except the last one, which is actual daylight.
Emily de Molly has a website for both her AU and US/International customers amd is stocked by most major stockists.There are sales pretty frequently, at least 4 times a year, I would say so be alert to that. Things do sell out during those times. Join the facebook fan group and customer email to be alerted about sales, group customs, and discontinued or LE items.
What do you think of really bright shades like this? Have you ever liked it on one nail shape and not another? Let me know in the comments:). Thanks for reading and see the links below.
