A Couple Dark Shades

I went with some darker shades! This is OPI- Midnight in Moscow. It is from the Fall 2007 Russian collection.

This shade is super vampy! It is a black jelly filled with red shimmer particles! I really liked the formula and it only needed two smooth coats.

Red shimmer!

I took this one in my car. I think it's neat how this polish looks with sunlight opposed to without it. Midnight in Moscow reminded me of Wet n Wild- Under Your Spell, only with a much better formula.

Next is Dong Dong- 17 I believe that this one is from China. I received it in a swap. I chuckle at the name of this brand!

This has a "sandy" finish, so I did not use topcoat with this. The formula was a little thick, and it was practically a one coater, but I used two coats to make it more gritty.

I love that it looks mostly black with a hint of silver shimmer.

This lasted very long also! I wore it for three days without any chips.

Here is a picture taken indoors without the flash.

I thought I would make a meme. I think these crystal sand polishes have been around for a while, and now you see that OPI and Zoya are coming out with sandy texture polishes. 

Manglaze- Fuggen Ugly

I recently purchased some Manglaze polishes and I've been meaning to try them for a while. I am a fan of matte shades, but usually the wear time and application sway me to wear other shades instead. This shade is called Fuggen Ugly and I was blown away! Fuggen Ugly is a dark gray which some shimmer particles.

The formula applied flawlessly! Usually with mattes, they dry so fast, that they dry as you're applying them. This dried quickly, but left enough time before drying in order to get an even application. The finish was very smooth also! The brush was slightly angled and it conformed to my nails perfectly. This was two coats.

I wore this for two days and did a sink full of dishes and it only had tipwear! I was impressed. I'm a huge fan of the label art and the shade names for this brand. I will definitely be buying more! 

Here's some epic haulage:

 I participated in a traveling polish box in one of the local facebook groups I'm in. I took out the following polishes and put some of mine in their place- but what I put in is a surprise!!
