Dazzle Dry Blogger's Mystery Collection

As promised I would like to show you the Dazzle Dry Blogger's Mystery Collection. Five of the shades are collaborations with bloggers/nail artists including Vanessa of Nail Stories, Rina of Simply Rins, Robin Moses, Jen of The Nail Polish Project and myself. One shade designed by Dazzle Dry...

Dazzle Dry nail lacquers are intended to be worn with the Dazzle Dry nail system which includes a nail prep, base and top coat. All these swatches were done with this system. The lacquers themselves dry quickly with a matte finish. The top coat gives them their shine plus dries rock hard in five minutes. For more on the system please visit the Dazzle Dry website or this post.

Arctic Sunset by yours truly
I know I just showed you these swatches in my last post, but I'm including them here again to have the collection swatches all together. Plus my OCD nature forces me to keep the polishes appearing here in numerical order. ;)

Arctic sunset is a white cream with a gold glass fleck shimmer. The shimmer is quite camera shy. It gives a nice warmth to the white in bright light. It was inspired by the sun reflecting off of fresh fallen snow. See my last post for more details. I used three thin coats for these swatches. The formula is a bit thick, but does provide nice, full coverage...

Blue Fantasy by Vanessa of Nail Stories

Dragonfly by Dazzle Dry
A darkened base with green and gold glass flecks. Be still my heart! This is right up my alley, I just love such dark green shades and this one has the complexity to keep me fascinated. Two coats for full coverage. The formula is very easy to work with and apply...

Moxie by Robin Moses
Comprised of eggplant purple to gold duochrome glass flecks. It is very sparkly and beautiful. It has a very saturated formula that is nearly a one coater. A bit thick and you can probably get away with just one coat, but I used two thinner coats here...

Tiger Lily by Jen of The Nail Polish Project
A cranberry pink with a gold fleck shimmer. It as a bit more fuschia to it than the swatches show, but my camera picks up more of the red. I have actually been wearing this for the last 24 hours and loving it. It has a wonderful easy to apply formula. Two coats provides great coverage as seen here...

365 Days of Color Horcrux Collection

Today I would like to show you the new 365 Days of Color Horcrux Collection which goes on pre-sale today. I must confess that I have not read any of the Harry Potter books and have only seen the first movie, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over these beautiful polish creations. I had to get schooled in the ways of Harry Potter by my boyfriend and 7 year old nephew. The two of them had quite an intense debate and lost me somewhere along the way, but at least now I know what a Horcrux is and when it comes to polish, it is beautiful...

The Snake
A periodot green jelly with a green glass fleck shimmer. The formula is sheer and I needed four thin coats to build up to this coverage. It applies smoothly with no streaking. I love this color so much! Wore it solo for a day before adding a little something I'll show you soon. These swatches are with a top coat...

Swatch Details
	Brand: 365 Days of Color Collection: Horcrux Color Name/Number: The Snake Number of coats: 4 Top Coat: Yes

The Ring
A gold to green duochrome glass fleck filled lacquer. My camera was intent on capturing the olive gold shift of this polish and refused to capture the green on my nails. Look at the bottle shots here for peeks at the green. Sometimes my camera just refuses to cooperate. This needed three coats go get good coverage on it's own. I think it would look fantastic layered over a black or dark green base. Application of this one was very nice. Swatches are with a top coat...

The Diadem
A clear base with small gold and silver glitter in addition to larger silver circle glitter and small blue glitter sprinkled in. A really fun glitter mix. I used two coats plus a topcoat over The Ring for these swatches. There is plenty of glitter in each brush stroke and it applies evenly to the nail...

	Brand: 365 Days of Color Collection: Horcrux Color Name/Number: The Diadem Number of coats: 2 (layered over The Ring) Top Coat: Yes

The Locket
An olive green with gold shimmer. This is also fairly sheer and needed three coats for good coverage. Application was smooth and no problems with streaking. I love this color. It is so pretty! Swatches are with a top coat...

The Goblet
A mix of gold and holographic glitter in a clear base. This applies easily with good distribution of glitter in each brush stroke. It would look great over just about any base. I layered two coats over The Locket and used a top coat for these swatches...

The Diary
A milky base loaded with a mix of various glitter. The photos don't do this justice since it has lots of holographic glitter that is very sparkly in real life even through the milky base. It is sheer so I used four thin coats to get this coverage. I think the sheerness really gives this a nice depth. One of my favorites from this collection. Swatches are with a top coat...

The Boy Who Lived
A mix of teal, green and holographic glitter in a black jelly base. It can reach full opacity on it's own around three coats, but I chose to layer two coats over black to really give the glitter a pop. This is so stunning and sparkly. I'm wearing it as I write this and it keeps distracting me! Application was very easy, lots of glitter in each brush stroke. Swatches are with a top coat...
