After bright cobalts and blingy New Year's flash, I was ready for a soft, neutral palate cleanser. I really should get back into the habit of alternating neutrals with bright colors - there's so many lovely autumnal browns and wintry greys languishing in favor of the flashy jewel tones...

Ever After made quite a stir with Mother of Dragons, originally a color of the month, then thankfully brought back as part of the core collection in her store. MoD is an absolutely lovely pale grey crelly with a subtle scattered holo effect and tons of ultrachome flakies in the fuschia/bronze and emerald/aqua shifts.

The website says this is a "soft linear holo" but I really don't get that - tiny twinkling rainbow flashes, yes indeed, but not at all linear. I'm wearing 2 coats here because I love the opalescent translucence at this stage, but if you'd prefer it opaque 3 will get you there 100%, and will look more crème than crelly.

The formula on this was practically perfect - thin, even, and smooth from the first coat means you could attempt it as a topper, or wear it even more sheer if you like. This also wore fantastically on me - when this week threw me some unpleasant curve balls and painting wasn't really an option, this carried me through nearly a week with no chipping and only very subtle edgewear.

Rating: a luscious 4 out of 5 stars, and now one of my fave subversive neutrals.
