Formula X Starfish

I know textured polishes are kind of over and done with but I'm really loving this one. There is just something so perfect about it. I can't quite get over the fact that I've bought two pink polishes this month (the other will show up in a future post I'm sure). Pink is not a color I really enjoy I'm totally not a pink person, but since I'm so pale and my hands are a bit red/pinky I think it makes a good "nude" for me. I find my fingers look elongated and this texture is so nice to feel.

Texture has never really been my friend it snags on stuff and I don't like feeling all the bumps, but this especially when worn at three coats has a very nice soft almost fuzzy sort of texture. I'm not a huge fan of leaving textured polishes un-top coated, but this is one that if I didn't have top coat I could definitely be fine with. It also helps that the polish is called starfish, even if it was the most ugly color ever I'd probably have to buy it because starfish are just so cute, and my favorite echinoderm [this is one of those times I wish I had had more time in undergrad and grad school to study more phylogeny/taxonomy type things, I at least managed two entomology classes over the years] .

Anyway, enough babbling!

The shimmer is iridescent, very ethereal 

So, in other words, this polish is a must have for super pale peoples like me, I never really have been fond of sheer whites/creams/pinks so if you want that sort of look without the boringness of sheer cream/jelly type polishes this might be a good option for you! I'm sure this would look amazing on darker skin tones too, it isn't so opaque that it would look too stark. Just go get it! Ignore that dusty purple, and bright teal [also in the Formula X sea glass collection], you don't need them! You just need starfish. But I'm just a bit biased maybe.








And you know me, can't leave you without a video! Only my favorite album about starfish ;-) by what is probably my favorite Australian band. Which[who?] excitingly, I get to see with Dude and my family in a month or so! I missed them last time they were in my state [I had an exam the next day or something :-( ] So exciting!

Anyway,
Happy Saturday
