It's Tuesday and I'm back at work. Yesterday was a lovely day, and I was sad to see the minutes tick by knowing that it would be over soon enough. I didn't get to do any shopping, but I did go to the park with LO and helped her crawl up the jungle gym for the first time. We went down the slide together and she had a blast, and was eager to do it again, and again, and again.
I'm on a multichrome roll, so tonight I pulled out another color changing polish that I ordered a few months ago but didn't get a chance to swatch. This is I Love Nail Polish Cygnus Loop, released as part of breakthrough Ultrachrome collection that was released early this fall. Cygnus Loop is a stunning fuchsia to purple to blue multichrome shimmer that reflects mostly eggplant purple but turns race car blue and berry red at odd angles. The formula on this was slightly sheer and I needed three coats to achieve opacity. If you look closely enough, you can see some brush strokes as well, which is typical for shimmers but the multichrome properties disguise them well enough. I did experience a little shrinkage with my Poshe/GFC topcoat mix, a first for me with this topcoat combo. Next time I'll remember to wrap my tips!

Strangely, on camera the fuchsia and blue are easy to capture and the eggplant purple is more elusive. I love the dark color of this polish - it's like a vampy multichrome, perfect for the colder months. I Love Nail Polish still has this collection available and have since added holographic versions of the Ultrachromes. I'm tempted to get them but I think I'll try adding a holographic topcoat instead to help maintain the color integrity. With the multichrome explosion, have you picked any up? Or are you not a fan?
