It’s Friday the 13th!

Bit of trivia: I have never seen a Friday the 13th movie! (Well, unless you count the crossover movie Freddy vs. Jason.) I think this month, I should catch up on my classic slasher films. I haven’t watched any horror movies this October, at all!

Collection: Nails Inc. 2017 Spring, Sparkle Like a Unicorn

Anyway, today’s polish is as far as you can get from horrifying. It’s from Nails Inc.’s Sparkle Like a Unicorn Nail Polish Duo. Pretty much everyone has jumped onto that shiny unicorn bandwagon, these days! I can’t say I hate it: I love me some iridescent nail polish, and purple and rainbows and stuff. Also, it’s produced My Little Pony makeup collaborations (yes, I have a mini set of the China Glaze MLP polishes, and I have the ColourPop MLP palette on order), so you’ll hear no complaints from me.

[Also, I woke up this morning to news from Nails Inc.: they’ve introduced another unicorn collection, Dirty Unicorns! (And my database link.)]

Today’s polish, Rainbow Wishes, is described by Nails Inc. as a “soft rainbow sheen.”

It is a very shimmery pearl that flashes blue, lavender, and pink.

The brush has a nice, wide paddle shape, and it applies the polish very quickly and easily.

The formula is semi-sheer, but two to three coats gives pretty good coverage—the shimmer and iridescence make it fairly forgiving. I have two coats on in my swatch photos. The finish is a little frosty but the iridescence gives it extra oomph.

The evenness of the polish means you could certainly try it out as a topper, as well.

It’s such a fun and well-performing color that I whole-heartedly recommend it. It’s particularly suited to princess-y or unicorn-inspired Halloween outfits!

This full-sized (2 × 14 mL) duo keeps going in and out of stock at Sephora, which is where I got it. It’s also available directly from Nails Inc. (US/UK, not available in Canada.)
