Last year, Color 4 Nails started carrying CrowsToes, and celebrated the launch with a trio of store exclusives. My top pick of the three is Quietus.

At first glance, Quietus is a smoky, silvery purple, with a bit of added sparkle, and indeed it does hit a lovely rich amethyst in bright, direct sunlight.

But this polish is far more complex than I'd thought when it first arrived. On one hand, it's definitely a purple-to-green duochrome shifter:
 |
| indirect daylight |
But it also shifts over to a warm pink-tinged bronze before going on toward gold:
 |
| direct, bright sunlight for both |
Layered on top of the multi-chromatic base is a chunky shimmer that's fine silver sparks in low lighting:
 |
| indirect daylight |
But that stands out as contrasting emerald glass flecks in brighter lighting:
 |
| indirect daylight |
All in all, it's rich and stunning. Totally opaque in 2 coats with a slightly thick (but in a good way) formula, its only downside was chipping in ~2 days. And that shift, just wow.
 |
| that's it right there: purple to bronze, with green glass fleck goodness. |
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars, this has me looking into buying the other 2 from the trio...
Where to buy: Quietus is a
store exclusive for Color 4 Nails.
