Starry Earth Citrus Paradise

 I have another lovely Starry Earth polish to share with you!  If you missed my post yesterday for Faerie Fate you can see it here!  Citrus Paradise is another polish that is going to be released with the late Spring/Summer collection.  The release date is scheduled for 5/22 (that's this Wednesday!).  As I said before if Faerie Fate and Citrus Paradise are any indication of what the collection is like I am very excited to see the rest!

You can follow Starry Earth on Facebook and purchase the polish from the Etsy shop.  

Citrus Paradise is another delicate polish.  But it's a pastel glitter bomb in a milky base.  Citrus Paradise is chalk full of pastel pink, green, blue and yellow.  The base is a milky pink-white color that is a jelly-like formula.  Application was great, the formula was easy to use, tons of glitter came out with each brush dip and they all laid flat on my nails.  CP is a refreshing and relaxing color and I enjoyed it greatly after wearing so many bright colors recently.  I think it's subtle enough for work or "mature" situations where neons won't be appreciated.  I have 3 coats of CP and 1 layer of topcoat shown below.

I also wanted to show you Citrus Paradise over some colors.  I used Kiko Peach Rose (358) and an accent nail of Kiko Mint Milk (389).  I used 2 coats of both Kiko colors and 2 coats of Citrus Paradise.  I then used 1 layer of topcoat.  I love how different CP looks over the different base colors then on it's own!  It's like having 2 polishes in one bottle.  And the milky base doesn't overwhelm the base colors which is great because it means you can use CP over a huge variety of colors!  So how did you like Citrus Paradise best, alone or layered?

Starry Earth Faerie Fate

Hello polish friends!  Look what I have here….another new to me brand!  Starry Earth was opened by creator Elizabeth in April 2012.  Her shop has some lovely polishes right now and she is also going to be releasing a late spring/summer line very soon (estimated 5/22 - yay!)!  I have two from that collection to show you now.  I was really impressed with both of the polishes from Starry Earth and  am looking forward to seeing the rest of the lineup from Elizabeth!  

This is Faerie Fate.  I am smitten with it.  It's delicate and feminine and everything I imagine a fairy to be.  Faerie Fate is a light pink-lavender shade with a bit of holo (fairy) dust and a bit of blurple shimmer.  The combination of the color and holo/shimmer give it a vibe that is very "fantasy."  FF is sheer with the first coat and built up beautifully with the second.  I did a third coat for good measure and for the most saturated color in pictures.  The formula was great, easy flowing, no pooling or dragging.  FF dried with an almost matte finish, so for the shiny look I have below be sure to use a layer of topcoat.
