Turquoise nail polish is
so my jam.

The Third Moon was one of Beauty So Fly's store exclusives last year, and this one is super complex. There's a deep green-leaning teal jelly base that's then packed with at least 2 different types of shimmer - one more silvery glass fleck and another more magenta - and finally a generous dusting of iridescent fire-colored flakies.

The formula was typical for a jelly - smooth and easy to control, but let each coat dry so the flakies don't pull or get sticky. This deep aqua base is also of course prone to stain the skin, so it's a good thing there's no pooling or runny flow going on.

The flakies and shimmer disperse just perfectly without any fidgeting or placement needed. This does dry with just a suggestion of texture (all the shimmers tend to grit up ever so slightly), so topcoat is a must with this one.

This was a lovely shade on its own, but I of course have just as many untried stamping plate designs as I do nail polishes. I've stamped with a Celtic hounds design from Messy Mansion 34 on my accent nail and knots from the Ejiiubas Celtic plate using EDK Maria and Carmelo.

This was my first attempt at double-stamping the same image in 2 different colors, and it worked way better on some nails than others. There's a real trick to getting the image just a little offset on the 2nd stamp, but neither too much so it looks messy or so little that you can't see both colors.
Rating: The Third Moon is a lovely 4 out of 5 stars. I get a feel of both aquatic depths and also forest shadows here, and I love creative names for nail polish when they really
fit and aren't just random.
Where to buy: this one is exclusive to
Beauty So Fly.
