Hey Peeps! Today I have the last multichrome that Andrea from Indigo Bananas sent me to review, Great Beasts Once Roamed this World. I chose the color but still kind of accidentally left it for last as I'm not a big fan of red on my nails. I paired it with an upcoming Blush Lacquer shade, Colliding Constellations. I was lucky enough to have my suggestion chosen in a naming contest and Victoria sent it as a prize. The result is very nice in my opinion, I wore this mani for several days and my multichrome lovin Grandma complimented Great Beasts :). The red/orange/gold shift is perfect for Fall, just like a leaf that has changed color. I will be attempting some falling leaves art with this soon. I mostly saw red with a hint of orange on the edges unless in direct sun. Like all the others in the A Delos Holiday collection this contains some linear holo and tons of tiny silver flakes that add more depth and interest. The dots are Colliding Constellations and the stamping is Great Beasts. I tried to stamp with this polish a bunch of other times but it didn't show up on the bases I chose, they were too similar or dark. Image is from my rusty trusty Watermarble plate from Bundle Monster, BM-XL210.
- 3 coats with topcoat. Opaque at 2 but I wanted to see if the color would deepen. It didn't but did become more saturated once I applied topcoat. I don't have a photo to compare but I do have a short video that I will share on my Instagram. Both looks are nice.
- As usual for IB, very nice formula. Opaque and not too thick or thin.
- No problems with removal, basically like a cream or shimmer.
- Stamps like a champ!

Gotta love a regular polish that stamps! Have you tried stamping with multichromes before? They are not always opaque enough but when they are I love the effect. Will you be picking up either of these polishes? Let me know in the comments below. As always, thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Hey purple and unicorn pee lovers! I am more than a bit late on the draw with this post. Apparently I have been living under a rock and didn't realize that TODAY started a 24 hour pre-order (while supplies last) of Tonic's unicorn pee polishes. If you love this get your order in before 2 pm CST tomorrow, September 27th. I will link the shop and social media at the bottom.
Amazing polishes that I purchased:
You can buy this now from TONIC POLISH along with others goodies. Stockists, such as Color4Nails, do carry Tonic but not this one so hurry and grab one before it's too late! Retails for $14 plus shipping. Illyrian Eleven is supposed to be restocking soon and is also carried by stockists. Shop here.
Do you have any Tonics? If so which is your favorite and if not which one have you been eyeing ? Light of Lyra will always hold a special place in my heart but I also adore this one and Dragons at Dusk.

- Left hand, shown first: 3 coats of Serendipity, one coat of Illyrian Eleven on ring finger.
- Right hand: 2 coats of Serendipity, Ilyrian Eleven on the tips, one coat of Tonic "Unicorn". ( I can't write the true name and still see my own post.) Accent nail is just Ninja Divinity for comparison.
- Top coat on everything,Glisten n Glow.
- Serendipity is easy to use and remove. It's not as opaque as I expected but my nail line was not really visible in person. I have a super opaque free edge, blessing and a curse.
- No pooling or dragging, thinner than Tonic usually is.
- Great wear and I wore it twice in a row because I didn't get photos the first time and it's lovely.
- Tip: if you do this with Eleven I recommend using a sponge for a subtle gradient, unlike my obvious paint line.

Femme Fatale Pillars of the Portal ,oops shade. A lovely glitter crelly with a brass brown base, a hint of plum at the edges,golden-green shimmer that gives it an almost olive appearance,and holographic glitter. I thought this would be too close to March Hare but it is not, I quite like it. This is still available from
- Everything 2 coats with top coat, Terraforming could have used a third.
- Applies easily, medium difficulty removal. I like the soaked cotton pad method for glitters.
- Dried very quickly, good wear.
- All photos LED daylight bulb
From pointer to pinky: Pillars of the Portal, March Hare, Terraforming, Pillars of the Portal.
Which is your favorite? Do you have any of these? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading.
