Wing Dust Collections Swatches

Pin It

I ordered these lacquers around October-November last year and thanks to the postal service they never showed up. Luckily Stephanie is amazingly kind and reshipped them free of charge (and threw in a free lacquer to boot!!!) about a month later.

I tried them all out this Summer, but never got any photos to share with you, so I made a real effort last week to swatch them all, because they deserve to be shown off!!!!

Ready?

Wing Dust Crazy On You

 Crazy On You makes me want to start stalking a hot guy!!!! It has a deep charcoal sort of base with fine multichrome shimmer flakes that shift from blue-purple-pink. The overall effect is that of a dark blue/purple polish with cornflower blue and fuchsia hex glitter and pink shimmer. I can't believe how complex COY is! Gorgeous!!! It needed 3 thin coats for full opacity and 1-2 layers of Seche Vite to smooth out the finish. I'm definitely crazy on it :)

Wing Dust Snakeskin Shoes

 Snakeskin Shoes is beautiful indigo/burple jelly packed with blue shimmer flecks and fuchsia, blue and purple glitter. WOW! I saw preview pics of SS about a month before it was released and knew it had to be mine! I applied two, thin flowing coats and one layer of Seche Vite. It dries surprisingly smoother than expected.

Wing Dust Mind Blueing

 Mind Blueing is a light sky blue with subtle fine blue/white flake shimmer as well as pink/fuchsia, green and blue glitter. I'm still trying to decide if the fuchsia hexes are holographic or just glow? I'm going to say they are holo!! Everything is better HOLO! Application was good on this one, I think 2 coats looked fine but I added a third for the photos. I topped this one off with a layer of Seche Vite.

Wing Dust Grey Sky Morning

 Grey Sky Morning is a lighter grey crelly with blue shimmer flecks, periwinkle and cornflower blue hex glitter. Application is very easy, I believe this was 3 thin coats, topped with 2 layers of Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat.
This is the perfect overcast, rainy day polish!!!!! And I have no need for Girly Bits Long Winter Nap now :)
 
I'm not sure if I like the Jordana TC yet; but for $3 I can't complain, right?! Or I shouldn't, anyway!!

Wing Dust reopens its Etsy store shortly with some new creations and in the meantime there are a few shades still in stock at Llarowe.

Wing Dust Love, Love Me Do

Pin It

Wing Dust is an indie brand I'm growing to love.

I ordered some minis last October and was really impressed, so I placed an order of full sized bottles in December. They actually got lost in the post :( Funnily enough another purchase that was posted around the same time also went missing, so god knows where all those polishes ended up?!

Luckily for me the woman behind Wing Dust, Stephanie, was super sweet and shipped me replacements as well as throwing in another full sized bottle for free! That was unbelievably generous and completely unnecessary, but absolutely appreciated.

So now I'm making my way through swatching them all. The first one I have to show you is perfect for Valentine's Day and it's still in stock so if you like what you see, order it in time for February 14!

Wing Dust Love, Love Me Do over Femme Fatale Star's Lament

shade

Love, Love Me Do is a fabulous mix of matte, holo and sparkly pink, purple, silver and white glitter in a clear base. The heart and silver hex glitters are holographic and there's medium and baby pink and white matte glitter, not to mention pink and white squares. Basically LLMD has it all!
I didn't have any trouble getting the hearts on to my brush and there was always a good range of glitter on it too. I used 1 1/2 coats (I dabbed on some of the hearts so I could place them!) for these pics, over a black jelly with silver holo glitter; so it looks ultra sparkly! I topped the mani off with 2 coats of Seche Vite to smooth that glitter!

You can get LLMD for US$8.50 at WingDustCollections on Etsy.

Hope you're weekends are going good!

Wing Dust Collections - Save A Life

Pin It

Super short post today guys.

Wing Dust Collections Save A Life

lamp

lamp

 

Save A Life is a milky sheer pastel purple with varying sizes of purple, silver, white and iridescent glitter. I layered it over Essie She's Picture Perfect because I didn't like my chances at getting in opaque, on its own. I applied 2 coats of SAL and the glitter is relatively sparse. It's pretty and delicate, but not exactly mind-blowing.

Funnily enough, I like it a lot more looking at these photos than I did at the time I swatched it!

Wing Dust polish is available on Etsy and Stephanie just released some gorgeous new colours that I have my eye on.
