The frosty weather certainly has me in a blue polish mood. I mean, if my fingertips are already going to be blue...

Chirp was Femme Fatale's September 2016 color of the month, which tells you that I have a huuuuge pile of untrieds to sift through. Chirp is a lightly greyed-out lavender with a vibrant aqua-blue shimmer overlay, and a dusting of very tiny holo microglitters.

The formula here had a very nice consistency but was a touch sheer, needing 3 coats for total opacity (2 was good, 3 was perfect). Sales swatches had this color a more vibrant lavender, so it's possible this has faded some in the past year+, but the bottle still matches the swatch stick I made when I got it, so I don't think that's the case.

I recently picked up some Marianne stamping plates from an international group buy. The design here is from Professional No 10, which is a series of brocade-like flowing scrolls etched in broad stripes down the whole plate, with a total area for any one pattern longer than your whole finger and wide enough for any nail. It's a fantastic way to make each nail clearly be part of the same cloth pattern, yet not symmetrically identical. The gunmetal pewter of MoYou London Galaxy somehow picked up a pinkish sheen on top of Chirp, totally changing the look of both polishes.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. This lovely winter-spring pastel (and that blue flash!) wore a little too quickly for me, and things have to be utterly amazing to warrant that 3rd coat.
Where to buy: these monthly colors are usually one batch & done, so hunt blog sales & destashes if Chirp is calling your name.
