ma.nish.ma. polishes

So I was in Rite aid the other day

picking up the basic necessities, 

when I couldn't help myself but to wander over to

the polish section to see if any new goodies were there.

I discovered this little of ma.nish.ma polishes from Hedy's.

I was somewhat familiar with Hedy's, having done

previous posts about some of their nail art stickers,

here. and also their Oke Doke polishes, here.

But never had seen these ma.nish.ma. polishes, 

so naturally my curiosity got the best of me.

There are just 3 shades available

All 3 are duochromes with fine shimmery glitter.

Beyond Opal flashing from Green to Orange 

Way Out Fuscia flashing from Hot Pink to Blurple

Blaster from Purple to Blue

The formula is very nice, but they are certainly

nothing to write home about.

They are extremely sheer,

these swatches are with 4 coats and still

they could have used another coat or 2.

So, realizing that they would be much better suited as

a top coat, I layered all 3 over black.

WOW!

Now we're talking!

The colors come to life with just a single coat over black,

bringing out both the duochrome & the fine glitter/shimmer.

DELISH!

While the shades aren't terribly unique,

 with lots of dupes

Beyond Opal is an EXACT dupe for Jessie's Gurl - Fire Fly

Still, they are quite lovely.

If you happen to see them, I'd say have a 2nd look.

Each bottle is .22 oz. and retails for $3.99 each
