Chaos and Crocodiles: Essence Of Nostalgia

Chaos and Crocodiles: Essence Of Nostalgia
Bright purple base with purple shimmer, red/green shifting iridescent glitter, holographic micro-glitter, and holographic pigment

Essence of Nostalgia is from the Winter 2016 Snowbound Collection. It's a really lovely purple with the sweetest red/green glitter and holo pigment.

The formula is really good and so easy to work with. It took two coats to achieve full opacity. The drying time was good.

I decided to apply a bit of green/purple glitter to the base of my nails. The glitter is CrowsToes' "Dragon in Drag".

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in the sun.

And here's "Essence Of Nostalgia" on its own; this is two coats and no topcoat just yet.
