Indie Sportlight: Starrily!

Hey guys!  It's good to be  back!  Hopefully I will be back to posting on a somewhat normal schedule after today, possibly a day or 2 less per week for a while, but I won' t disappear again!

Today I have a polish from the Indie maker Starrily!

The polish that I have to show you is called Halloween Night.  The polish description is as follows: "Lots of black diamonds and stripes with orange iridescent and hex glitter all in a sheer black suspension base is used to make this gorgeous combination."

My first instinct when I went to wear this polish was to put it over black because I always think of black polish when I think of Halloween.  However, as you will see in the following picture, that causes the black glitters in the mix to be pretty much hidden from view:



You can see the gorgeous orange glitters really well, but not the black ones.  So I decided on another base color, light grey:




This combination allows you to see the complexity of the glitter mix, but it did not feel very "halloweey" to me. 

I had a few suggestions for "Underwear" color from friends, and decided to try out a few of them on one hand:



I totally dig this color over the purple especially!  I think you can see that this glitter mix is really versatile and can be used to get a lot of different, festive looks!


As far as formula, it was pretty easy to apply to the nails.  With glitters like these I tend to like a slightly thicker base better in order for the glitter to be picked up more easily, but it wasn't hard to do this by any means.  I needed about 2 coats to get the coverage shown in my pictures, as well as a few strategic glitter placements to fill in gaps.


Overall I think this is a really nice glitter polish that would  be a great addition to any good holiday polish collector's stash!




You can find this and several other great looking polishes at the Starrily Etsy Store.  Full size bottles are $8.50 and minis are $4.75.   There is currently a promo going on where you get a free mini when you buy 4-full size bottles.

What do you think of this glitter?  Are you getting excited for Halloween?
