Happy Friday evening lovelies! Normally I'd be fairly thrilled right about now, but it's roughly 9 billion degrees in my house right now so I'm a bit sluggish. We had planned on turning on our AC this week, but needed a part so now I am sitting here hoping for a second Ice Age.
In case you haven't noticed, my 500 Follower giveaway is up and running! Don't forget to enter!
Today's Flakie is another pretty from one of my very favorite Indie brands, Daring Digits. If the name seems familiar, that's because it is - I've shown you "Before Sunset" before. However, at the time Before Sunset was still in its testing stage, and was a color changing polish. This is the latest incarnation of Before Sunset, and this time it is not a thermal polish.
Before Sunset (V.2) has been revamped into an utterly unique and super gorgeous plum-taupe Crelly jam packed with bronze and copper flakies. The flakes appear to be larger in this version, and as I mentioned above it no longer has a color changing base color. You can take a peek at the original swatches here.
This is 3 thin coats of the revamped version of Before Sunset, topped with Simply Quick Top Coat from NailCareHQ.Com (review coming soon!):
Yeah, I know. The photo say "Beyond Sunset". I swear my brain is fried from the heat in this house (it's almost 9 P.M. and stil 92 degress at my polish table). I started calling this Beyond Sunset in my head, since it's a revamp, and I guess it stuck just enough for my hands and brain to conspire to label it that way. Sorry Ash!!!
Despite the fact that this baby makes me a tad lobstery, I really adore this new version. I'd be hard pressed to choose which one I like the most, but I think I am leaning toward this one.
Before Sunset, the new version, has a simply amazing formula. I was actually reminded of gel polish, without the curing and shrinking in at the sides if you don't work fast enough. Application was perfection, with no dragging, balding, or glopping. Despite being a touch darker than the original, this version of Before Sunset does apply a touch sheer. I used 3 thin coats here for intensity, however 2 coats would have sufficed. No need for Glitter Food with this pretty, Before Sunset dries fairly smooth.
I loved this girl the moment I applied her, but the more I look, the more I fall in love. There is something about that plummy taupe base color and all those coppery flakies that just makes me happy.
