Don Deeva Dirty Magic

Facebook group Multichrome Madness has scored some of the most fantastic group customs, and I was lucky enough to win the Don Deeva trio from November!

Of the three polishes, Dirty Magic is the least duochromatically shifty, but I'm in a blue mood and this just fit the bill so nicely.  It was described as a very subtle thermal, but even with hot or cold water I couldn't appreciate any color change.  The thermal base meant that this is a lot more sheer than darkly saturated colors usually are - 3 medium-thin coats were needed to get to the opacity you see here.

Dirty Magic is a charcoal base filled with blackened teal shimmer that shifts at extreme angles to a dark plum, with a dusting of scattered holo, and some extra small microflakies that usually look red against the base color.

While it's not an in-your-face chameleon, this is the sort of polish that looks quite different in different lighting conditions, sometimes pulling more charcoal grey, sometimes navy, and other times blackened teal.

It's a softly sparkly velvet that will make a stellar base for nail art, and is "deep space" enough to launch some pretty sweet galaxy designs.  Here, I've used Born Pretty Silver stamping polish and one of the fantastic kaleidoscope designs from BP-L080 on my accent nails.

This wore a little quickly on me, with edgewear apparent by ~2 days later, but I do find that darker colors show wear much more starkly than lighter ones, of course.

Where to buy:  unfortunately, as is the norm for FB group customs, this was a one month and gone engagement.  Stalk blog sales & destashes to find a bottle.
