Illyrian Time To Go To Sleep

In a perfect world I would not have to google references to nail polish names.

Here is Illyrian Time to go to Sleep:

Three easy coats. This is a dark base with load so shift pigment, flakes, and a sprinkle of holo.

The purple/blue/aqua flakies stay in the bright blue range and are luminous in contrast.

There is a red/gold shift, that probably goes green, but in the red, it really makes it all very plum colored.

I think this refers to a Bruce Campbell movie. I am no horror buff...nightmares...heck day-mares!

The name really reminds me of Roy Batty's line "time to die" at the end of Blade Runner.

This is how I would imagine the sparks or lights from C beams at the Tannhauser Gates.

I love how imaginative this polish is, things dance and pop and move in the light, it's not muddy, which I think is a big challenge.

This was part of the September Polish Pickup Pack and worth a look. There is one the 1st of February at polishpickup.com.

If you want to toy with indies, this is a great spot. There are caps on some polishes because these are one-offs and so makers do limited runs. The upside is that this is a great showcase for their brand and you can really see some gorgeous stuff you may never have imagined trying before.


Thank you for reading my little nail polish journal!
