My Summer Stars: Crows Toes Lil' Miss Cyanide

I see, I repeat myself here over and over but Crows Toes latest Collection really exited me and I got a couple of their shades. And there was simply no way around Lil' Miss Cyanide considering my knack for lilac polishes this season and duochromes in general. Beware, there is a lot of pictures coming your way now:


both, the above and below picture taken indoors in daylight - AMAZING how different they look


and outdoors in the shade:

and in artificial light:

I applied three coats of Crows Toes Lil' Miss Cyanide over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. The first coat goes on sheer but you have nice opacity after two coats but for max duochrome effect I suggest you go for that third coat. It truly makes all the difference. The formula is while sheer wonderful to apply, not too much or little polish on the brush, even distribution on the nail and only ever so slightly gravitating towards brush strokes. The dry time is excellent and definitely on the fast side.

Last but not least the water bowl photo:

I ordered Crows Toes Lil' Miss Cyanide with Llarowe.

I look forward to read your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
Christine

    I'm loving the water bowl photo...one might think your hands were those of a glowing mermaid! :) This is a really fascinating and unique polish. It's a lovely shade of lilac and makes me really want to break down and order some Crowstoes polish! :D

      Hi Melissa - so glad you like the water bowl photo - me fingers are incredibly bent in it but it brings out the most from the duochrome - Mermaids - le sigh, what a flattering comparison - thank you xxx!! And I am sure you will be able to get hold of this beauty also AFTER your no-buy, how much longer will you go through it???

      Hi Nati, it is me who has to feel bad for not commenting your lovely posts - consider me blushing here ashamedly. But then we both know how busy our real lives were - so PLEASE don't feel bad about not commenting!!! Lil'Miss Cyanide is SOOO special, and you know, sometimes it nearly looks like a neutral and then you twist your hand and see this shift of color.... oh my, see I am already on a roll again about it ;-) - I hope all is well with you and your family, je t'embrasse et bisous xxx
