DifferentDimension Week Day 6: Spectral Tiger

Today's DifferentDimension polish is Spectral Tiger, a clear jelly base with silver holo microglitter, blue, aqua and purple to blue square glitter, and matte white hex glitter.  It's almost opaque in three coats, and you could use four if visible nail line bothers you.  All of DifferentDimension's glow polishes tend to need shaking, because the glow-in-the-dark glitter sinks like mad.  But if you shake it like it knows where Grandpa left the coffee can with all his money, it gives off a nice blue glow.  All swatches are three coats.

DifferentDimension Week Day 5: Purple People Eater

Today's DifferentDimension polish is Purple People Eater, a clear jelly base with purple, green and orange hexes and black micro-glitter.  Although Purple People Eater is part of the DifferentDimension core line, the color combination screams Halloween to me!  This is definitely a glitter topcoat, so I layered it over Zoya Lianne.  All swatches are one coat of Purple People Eater over two coats of Lianne.

DifferntDimension Week Day 4: Smashing Pumpkins


My third Halloween glow-in-the-dark glitterbomb from DifferentDimension is Smashing Pumpkins, a white jelly base with black micro-glitter and large orange, black and copper hexes.  All of DifferentDimension's glow polishes tend to need shaking, because the glow-in-the-dark glitter sinks like mad.  But if you shake it like it knows the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything, it distributes along with the other glitters and gives off a very nice glow.  I was worried that Smashing Pumpkins would need underwear, but I did three coats and was pleasantly surprised by the opacity.

A Scholarly Spooktacular!

Dude! :o  Jacqui over at The Scholarly Nail is having a giveaway that puts mine to shame!

DifferentDimension Week Day 3: Ectoplasm


My second Halloween glow-in-the-dark glitterbomb from Different Dimension is Ectoplasm, a clear jelly base with small green and black glitter and large green and black hexes.  All of DifferentDimension's glow polishes tend to need shaking, because the glow-in-the-dark glitter sinks like mad.  But if you shake it like it knows where the Batcave is, it distributes along with the other glitters and gives off a very nice glow.  I was worried that Ectoplasm would need underwear, so I did three coats over my ring finger and little finger nails and one coat over one coat of Zoya Veruschka over my middle and index finger nails. I had no need to place any of the glitter, and there is enough of the small green and black glitter that this polish is damn near opaque at three coats.

DifferentDimension Week Day 2: Candied Corn

For Halloween, the talented Missi has created three special glow-in-the-dark glitterbombs.  The first of these, both alphabetically and in my heart, is Candied Corn.  This is a barely-tinted yellow jelly base with holo micro-glitter, orange and white hexes and large matte white hexes.  All of DifferentDimension's glow polishes tend to need shaking, because the glow-in-the-dark glitter sinks like mad.  But if you shake it like it knows the secret whereabouts of your missing MacGuffin, it distributes along with the other glitters and gives off a very nice glow.  Candied Corn could have used some underwear, but it's still beautiful, and I had no need to place any of the glitter.  All swatches are three coats.
