Try It On Tuesday: Enchanted Polish Across The Universe

I had great intentions of posting this earlier.  For whatever reason, I’ve been dragging my feet today.  Which is silly really, because I have a BEAUTIFUL polish to show off!

I was stumped over what polish to feature today for Try It On Tuesday- even though probably 75% of my polishes are untried- and had originally settled on O.P.I.’s Metallic 4 Life.  Then this morning (before I had painted my nails), Llarowe announced on Facebook that today’s Brand of the Day would be Enchanted Polish- and I just happen to have 1 lone Enchanted Polish that is untried!

I was planning on saving this for an Indie Wednesday, but I decided to bump it forward a day instead!

I was lucky enough to snag Across the Universe during Llarowe’s generous Birthday Sale.  I think this is the *only* polish I have ever opened and gasped out loud when I first saw it- when there was no one else around.   Stunning is an understatement!

Across the Universe is a multichrome holographic nail polish.  As you can see above, in the bottle it shifts from green-gold to blue to purple, though on the nails it’s really more of a purple to blue shift.  The scattered holo effect is very vibrant and stunning.  This polish went on easily and smoothly, and didn’t require much clean up.

Another bottle shot- truly, I can’t stop staring at this bottle.  So stunning!

For all of the pictures I was wearing 3 coats of Across the Universe with a coat of Poshe quick dry topcoat.  Coverage was fine at 2, but I really wanted it brighter.  I did notice that the multi-chrome effect was much stronger on just 1 coat, though it was too thin on it’s own.  It’s possible that with 1 coat over another base color it can show off a bit more!  I’ll have to experiment soon 🙂

So beautiful!

I took all of these outside in the sunlight to maximize the holo goodness.

I did notice on some earlier photos the way the sun hit my nails, it looks as if I have a giant spot of unpainted area on my pointer finger.  As you can see in the picture above, that’s not the case- it’s just a very weird instance of lighting.

And finally, here’s a closeup of a nail to show off that holo sparkle!

You can find Enchanted Polish and Across the Universe at Llarowe’s , and also on Etsy and Harlow & Co.  Go check them out!
