CrowsToes Emergence

Once upon a time, I particularly liked a C4N exclusive from CrowsToes, and went back to pick up the others in the trio.  While the blue was sold out, this green was right there waiting, and I've been feeling green a lot lately.

Emergence is a rich emerald green with many personalities, like her sister Quietus.  First off, all the shimmer in there reflects back as a metallic foil finish with some scattered holo sparkles in bright light:

In lower light, golden shimmery microflakes make an appearance:

The no-longer-quite emerald green above is not just a difference of the light, but instead is the start of a pretty aqua-blue duochromatic shift, where the sun also catches the glass fleck flash of the shimmer:

Emergence is the kind of polish that looks a bit different with every change of the light, though it's more subtly shifty than dramatic.

I stamped here using a bubbles pattern from XXL-4, using MoYou London Electric Teal.

Rating:  4 out of 5 stars for this softly shifty emerald.  I'm wearing 2 coats here, and the formula was the kind of thickness that stays where you put it.  Cleanup was NBD, and I'm going to say the microglitters mentioned in the sales listing are instead microflakies - no scrubbing required.

Where to buy:  conveniently, this is the last one of these exclusives still in stock at C4N.
