Ever After Full of Wonder

After something fiery I had to reach for something cooler and dark, and Ever After's 2016 mystery fit the bill.

Full of Wonder is a Wonder Woman-themed polish that fits the aesthetic of the 2017 movie really well - it's a dark, smoky blue somewhere between cadet and navy, with glimmers of red flakies and a scattered holo finish that adds sparkle but doesn't sit on top as a linear flame.

I've only tried a few Ever After polishes, but the formula has been consistently great, and Full of Wonder is no exception - smooth, easy applying, decent opacity in 2 coats, and a brush that didn't give me any grief.

Some of the larger flakies did stick out a bit from the base, but were adequately tamed with a single layer of topcoat.  This wasn't the sort of thing where I had to start trimming pointy shard edges with my cuticle nippers.

I was only happy with dark & smoky for a day or two before the sun came out and reminded me we're in high summer.  Also, I recently received a haul of El Corazon stamping polishes that needed a test drive.  I stamped using a fish poking out of the the waves image from Creative Shop 52 - it will never stop impressing me how the fine-lined detail always stamps so well! - using MoYou London Electric Teal, with the fish filled in using El Corazon True Red.

Rating:  a solid 3 out of 5 stars for Full of Wonder, which wore about average (some minor edgewear after 2-3 days but no chipping) and had a really nice formula.

Where to buy:  Ever After occasionally puts up quasi-mystery polishes on her shop, where the color is described for a themed polish (there's a Moana polish up now), but isn't pictured.  This one is gone, but check destashes if you'd like to pick it up.
