Like plenty of super pretty things that I end up kicking myself over later, CrowsToes' Vanaheim has been sitting around my house untried for a year now.

Vanaheim, home of the nature and fertility spirits/gods of Norse mythology, inspired this super-shifty glittery green as part of the 2014 9 Realms collection. In most lighting, this is a richly saturated emerald green, with twinkling near-metallic gold flashes.

With a tilt of the hands, though, this quickly shifts down to a mossy, silvery grey-green.

And up through teal to blue and all the way to purple.

| oooooh that blue glimmer! |

| purple much clearer IRL |
An up-close look at the bottle gives a glimpse at all the colors possible therein.

It is, of course, the glittery blinged-out version of
Hey Jude, which explains why I liked it so very much.

Rating: a very solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a little bumpy-textured from all that blingtastic sparkle, but nothing that 2 layers of topcoat won't fix. No comments on wear time or removal - I tried another experiment with the peel-off basecoat, and had this popping off at random times due to that. Bonus on the formula, though, was that patchy repair jobs on the popped off bits were utterly seamless.
Where to buy: CT is sold by
several international stockists, as listed on her blog.
