 This is two coats of Contrary Polish Desert Fruit.
 It's a beautiful and rich plum with subtle red shimmer.  The formula and application were terrific, as always.
You can find Contrary Polish information on Carrie's blog here.  Go check it out!

 This is my current NOTD - Contrary Polish Bonfire.  I used two coats here, topped with Butter London's top coat.
 Bonfire is a beautiful, deep reddish orange with shimmery and glittery bits.
 My beloved Butter London top coat does not do as good a job smoothing out glitters as I would like it to - I could have used a second coat to really smooth this out more.
It's a simple but beautiful Halloween mani.  I love it!

 For this mani I started with two coats of Contrary Polish Santorini.
 Santorini is much prettier and more shimmery than my pictures let on.  It also dries matte, for what it's worth.  I added a coat of Two Birds Vel-awesome-raptor, followed by many coats of top coat.
 You might not be able to tell here, but the top coats were a total fail and gave me a zillion tiny bubbles (see on the ring finger below)!  I blame the Pro FX ultra fast dry top coat for that.  I believe I used a coat of Instant Artificials, two or three coats of Dior's top coat, then a coat of Pro FX (by that point I was amused that Dior was doing nothing to smooth the glitters, probably due to its watery texture, so I just slapped on the Pro FX hoping that its thicker texture would do the trick).  It did smooth everything, but at the cost of a million bubbles!  Truthfully, it didn't matter much since Vel-awesome-raptor's tons of tiny green and black glitters largely masked the bubbles.
You can find Contrary Polish here and Two Birds here.  Vel-awesome-rapter was generously provided to me for review purposes.  I am really enjoying Two Birds polishes and knew that I already loved Contrary Polish.  Great formula on both, and in the future I'll be sure not to mess with Dior's top coat for any polish with even the remotest amount of texture!!

Way to go, Carrie!  

 Here is another beautiful color from Contrary Polish.  It's called Firebrand and I used two coats here with no top coat.
 The shimmer is just absolutely stunning!  I wish you could see it better on the nail in these pictures.
I will be sure to keep you posted as to when Contrary Polish becomes available for sale to the public.  Thanks so much to the talented creator for sending this marvelous treat my way!!  :)

 Hello, lovely friends!  Sorry I have not posted since Wednesday.  
 This is another super beautiful super special polish from the up-and-coming Contrary Polish.  I recently received it as a generous gift from the creator.  <3
 This is two easy coats of Inky Fingers (no top coat).  It's a stunning deep, vampy, grapey sort of blurple with amazing greeny-blue magical shimmer.
 I adore this!  Pardon my sloppy application here.
 I also received OPI Merryberry Mauve glitter top coat as a gift, as well!  I am so lucky!  I thought it would be fun to try it over Inky Fingers.  I used just one coat.
 Look how pretty they are together!  The little glitters did kill most of the shimmer, but I think it's a really nice combination nonetheless.
Thank you so much to the very kind person who sent these to me!  I will keep you all posted as to when Contrary Polish becomes available for sale.

 Want to know what this is?!
 It's two coats of Purple Smoke from an up-and-coming brand called Contrary Polish.
 It has blue, pink, and purple delicate shimmers in a smoky gray base that leans sort of purple (at times it looked to be leaning blue - but I was also wearing a dusty gray blue t-shirt that day and it seemed to match almost perfectly!).
 I love these dusty ambiguous colors.  And the shimmer is just wonderful!
 Application was a breeze.  I did end up using three coats on my thumbs, so perhaps I should have done three thinner coats on all the nails.
I'll keep you posted as to when Contrary Polish becomes available to the public!  And I have a few more pretty colors to show you soon.  :)


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
