Glitter Daze Sunset in the City collection: Twilight in Tuscon

purchased by me

Twilight in Tuscon is possibly my favorite Sunset in the City polish, both alone and over black.  It's a soft copper-rose base with pink-to-purple color-shifting scattered holographic glitter.  The formula is just gorgeous, smooth and easy and nearly opaque in one coat without being thick, plus it's super-shiny even before top coat.  For swatches I used one coat over black on my index and middle fingers and two coats of Twilight in Tuscon on my ring and pinky fingers.

Glitter Daze Sunset in the City collection: Nightfall in NYC

purchased by me

Nightfall in NYC is another shade-shifter from Glitter Daze.  It's a pinkish-brown base with purple-to-blue color-shifting holographic glitter.  The formula was easy to work with and opaque in two coats.  I much prefer it over black, as the base color looks like June bugs to me, which brings back some unpleasant memories. *shudder*  I used two coats of Nightfall in NYC on my ring and pinky fingers and one coat over black on my index and middle fingers, and no top coat because it was quite shiny on its own.

Glitter Daze Sunset in the City collection: Sundown in Seattle

purchased by me

Sundown in Seattle is a copper scattered holographic shimmer which shows a pronounced color shift to a plummy brown when worn over black.  The formula was smooth and easy to work with, and it was opaque in two coats.  In stronger light, the holo is almost linear!  My swatches show two coats on my ring and middle fingers and one coat over black on my ring and index finger.

Glitter Daze My White Lighter

purchased by me

My White Lighter is a soft, translucent white base packed with baby blue glitter.  It's opaque and satin matte at three coats, a bit thick but not unworkable, and it glows blue-tinged white in the dark.  I really adore this polish!

Glitter Daze Sunset in the City collection: Dusky in Dallas

purchased by me

Dusky in Dallas is part of the Sunset in the City collection from Glitter Daze, and it's a lovely multichrome shimmer.  It's opaque in three coats on its own, but light enough to look good as one coat over a dark color.  The formula was smooth and very easy to work with.  For swatching, I used three coats on my index and middle fingers and one coat over black on my ring and pinky fingers.

purchased by me

Afterglow in Aspen is my second Glitter Daze polish, and it's a gorgeous peach-to-teal duochrome shimmer that's lovely on its own or as a layering polish.  I used three coats alone on my index and middle fingers and one coat over black on my ring and pinkie fingers.

Glitter Daze A Garlic a Day Keeps the Vampires Away

purchased by me

Happy Eve of All Hallow's Eve!  My Halloween present to myself was an order from Glitter Daze, my first but definitely not my last!  I got mostly minis, but couldn't resist a full-size bottle of A Garlic a Day Keeps the Vampires Away.  A Garlic a Day has red and holo mini-glitter, plus black squares, shards and bars in a thermal color-changing base that goes from white (warm) to deep rose (cold).  It's supposed to be red, but I couldn't get my hands that cold, and besides, I liked the rose color!  The formula was a bit thick, very glitter-packed, and dried rather slowly, matte and bumpy, but I love this polish.  A coat of Gelous followed by a coat of regular top coat smoothed it out and made it shiny.

The pretty, pretty packaging:
