Cherry Tequila

Crows Toes Tequila Sunrise was a pretty huge hit when it first came out. It is a bit sheer, at least for me to try to layer it, but as a topper, well it's amazing.

Here it is over Sally Hansen Salon Formula (old square bottle) Cherry Nice:



Quite the stunning green gold shimmer is front and center. The pink base leans coral pink and the contrast is good, but Cherry Nice is a red, and a neutral to cool one at that, but here it pops into the warm realm.

Delightful!

Here it s again:


You can see the base a bit better.

Two coats in total.

It's a very wet formulation, but I have to admit it is a killer.


I did see that Crows Toes still has it, and they also have a second formulation with what they call "spark", sounds nice! I want to try that one, too!

Meanwhile, Crows Toes has been out of the gate an amazing creator of polishes. It's always a favorite place to browse.

Shiftiness

If you haven't looked into the indie brand CrowsToes, you probably ought to give them a look. If you you've been distracted by the myriad of new indies, go back and look at CrowsToes again. Worth it.

They are an indie who was an early favorite and came out with complex collections that just took your breath away. I feel like they were a brand who didn't try to emulate more holos that mainstream companies were missing, or just throwing out glitter bombs, but really put some depth and notion into each bottle.

I have to admit I have not blogged them at all for some odd reason. The time is NOW.

CrowsToes Nidavellir


Three coats, very excellent formula. No clean up and wow, the shift is mind cracking.
Bright turquoise blue, edged in cobalt slipping into deep purple.

Wait. There's more.
You might as well just sit back and enjoy.

(Yes it's still available! What? No! YES!)



Normally wrestling with multichromes is a drag, but this was a pleasure. Truly a pleasure.
Look at that gorgeous purple!



Slipping into this rosy amber coral just about flipped my wig. Love it so hard!



The light gathering qualities of my camera without a tripod were maxed out to grab this beautiful orange amber shift.
(And may I add here, my Sony A6000 may be old news in the screamingly fast world of photo technology, but I love the color accuracy that reminds me of my old Minolta from "the day")

Mind blown.

I need buy a back up before it is sold out. This kills a lot of old SH shifties for me.

I will add that the holo glitter is ample enough to impart some "party" to the mix without too much to overshadow the shift of this polish.

Wow.

I wore it for about 4-5 days and it was a good soldier!
