CrowsToes ~ Vanaheim
Colour shifting glitter
that goes from green to copper and teal
I was excited to try the other polishes from the Nine Realms collection,
and Vanaheim is the one that I’m going to show you today.
In Norse mythology, Vanaheimr (Old Norse "home of the Vanir")
is one of the Nine Worlds and home of the Vanir, a group of gods associated
with fertility, wisdom, and the ability to see the future. The “r” at the end of
Vanaheim is intentional btw...this is how it’s spelt. I don’t know why CrowsToes
left that out
Anyway – Vanaheim was not on my wishlist to begin with. I’m not that
fond of golden colours and it was pretty obvious that this polish has exactly
that. I ended up buying it anyway because it looked really pretty on pictures.
My heart sank a bit when I received my bottle. It was indeed golden.
But all my worries disappeared when I put it on! I used two easy coats
for my swatches and the drying time between the coats is pretty good.
This is how beautiful it is! Two coats, no topcoat.
I mean, I am just completely in love with the colour shift!
The polish dries up a little bit gritty, but it’s nothing that a good
topcoat can’t handle.
I’m not wearing a topcoat on these pictures.
I spend a while trying to figure out what to do with this, until I
realized that no matter what I did it would compete with the beauty of the
polish. I ended up not doing nail art on it. Shocking, I know! :D
Verdict:
Great colour shifting glitter, nothing bad to report at all, preciouses,
no - nothing bad at all!
Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Pretty good
Drying time: Pretty good
Finish: Glitter that shifts

It's so nice when a bottle disappoints you - but when the polish is on the nails you love it :D
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic when it's like that. It's much better than when it's the other way around :D
DeleteIt's pretty indeed and also a pleasant surprise for you!
ReplyDeleteVery! I am so pleased :)
DeleteOh wow, love this color! Really nice photo's!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteThis polish looks a bit different and I like it! Very nice green! It's good when that happens! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I really like it when that happens :)
DeleteWow, it looks so unusual! <3
ReplyDeleteIt is for sure <3
DeleteWow, I looooove this, I think have to put this on my wishlist. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see it on you too :)
DeleteThat's beautiful! I love that the glitters show up so sparkly and prominent on the nails... really stunning! :)

Thank you, it is indeed very sparkly, which I like a lot :)
DeleteThat is jaw droppingly beautiful. I've got to get some.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just ^_^
DeleteThat is jaw droppingly beautiful. I've got to get some.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of gold either... I can see how you would be disappointed looking at the bottle but it does look gorgeous on your nails! I love the green/gold shift! I think this one is interesting enough to be worn on it's own :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. It's so full of life that it's perfectly wearable on its own :)
DeleteIt looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteThis collection is clearly a win! Is it wrong that part of the reason I want it is because of the theme of Norse mythology fits perfectly with my blog :P
ReplyDeleteNo, that's definitely not wrong. I knew I wanted some because of the theme even before the first swatches were released :D
