One good eclipse deserves another, right? When the maker of CrowsToes mentioned she was having family in to watch the eclipse go right overhead, I shouted out for an eclipse polish...and with enough clamoring from the rest of the fan group, we got it!

CrowsToes Total Eclipse of the Crow is an inky sapphire packed with glassfleck shimmer in at least 2 colors to my eye - I see gold and green in there, maybe silver too? I also caught a very occasional flash of sparkle that was suggestive of a pinch of holo dust thrown in the mix, but I'm not at all classifying this as holographic.

Eclipse was nearly opaque in one coat, but I've done 2 here for perfect depth and coverage. This was a touch too thick with all the shimmer particles in there, but a couple drops of thinner had it flowing nicely even.

In full sun, this was sparkly like stars in a night sky (stars in an eclipsed sky???) while not being glitter-style blingy.

In lower light, the glassfleck elements revealed themselves to be micro flakes - dunno if that's even possible (i.e., are these 2 sparkly elements?), but there you go.

While the eclipse itself is over, there's plenty of celestial phenomena to be found in my stamping plate stash. Here I've used a starburst design from UC 6-01 in the fabulously duochromatic El Corazon Jewelry Box (btw, most anything El Corazon makes is easily my fave duochrome stamping polish).

Rating: a lush 4 out of 5 stars. Once I thinned it a touch, the formula went on just great and wore very well. The lovely midnight blue is also a great base for any topper you can think of if you don't want to go with stark black.
