GlitterDaze Poised Swatch And Review


TGIF!  I can't wait for the weekend.  It's been a tough week at work.  Recently, I was reading Racked LA and they had an article linked to another fashion site that stated that burgundy nails were going to be trending this season.  I think that shade will be popular for Valentine's Day, but I'm not sure how long afterwards it will trend.  Now that I think about it, burgundy seems to be trending out, especially after oxblood was so popular during the fall.  Let's see how that pans out, shall we?

Today's swatch is going to be short and sweet - I had to choose a color that would be work appropriate for a business meeting and when my eyes landed on GlitterDaze Poised, I knew it would be perfect.  It's a soft lavender purple, shot through copper shimmer.  Poised was released with the fall Era Of Elegance Collection, a collection full of beautiful glitters and soft glamorous shades.  For short nails, I think three coats would have been plenty, but I did four because my nails are getting so long and needed the extra coverage to hide VNL.  The formula was smooth and easy to apply, but I felt that dry time was a little longer than usual.  I finished with a layer of GlitterDaze Super Smooth, which dried it in a snap and hid some of the small indentations I made while waiting for it to dry.

Isn't that shimmer fabulous?  I always feel weak in the knees whenever I see a beautiful contrasting shimmer, and this one definitely does the trick.  The soft lavender doesn't quite work with my skintone but I'm willing to overlook that just so I can shift the polish in different lights to reflect the copper.  I think this would be great as a base for another glitter from the Era Of Elegance collection, Exquisite, a neutral gold and silver glitter topper.  Have you explored that collection?  If not, you should check out the lovely colors!
