Pahlish released Mad Man With a Box as a black Friday special, then again in January as part of her Dr. Who collection. Now, I love me some DW (this is, I think, my 4th DW polish), but far more than a catchy name, I love me some sparkles.
MMWAB is a deep midnight blue packed with microglitter, shimmer, and micro-flakes. All that twinkle translates easily onto the nail.

Most of the time, this polish appears to be a deep, shimmery sapphire. In the shade, lighter blue to silvery bits are apparent, giving it a stars at night sort of appearance, but in the sun, WOW. Check out the twinkles.

The micro-flakes look aqua-green in the macro pics, but other than a subtle suggestion of a teal flash, this wasn't obvious IRL.

It's thick enough that I think I'll be thinning it down before I use it again, and next go-round, I'll try it with some undies: this is prone to chipping like hell on me. I re-wrapped my tips and re-did my topcoat nightly to combat the day's chips (as in, the first one popped up within 24h of painting).
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. This color is AMAZING. It's rich and deep without being black, it's super sparkly, and way complex. This would easy be a perfect polish if only it wore more than a whole day without chipping :(
Where to buy: Pahlish has
has her own store, and also
has a list of international stockists.
