Hello lovelies,

I've got some more gorgeous WingDust polishes for you! If you'd like to see all previously reviewed WingDust polishes click here.

First up is a Guilt-y Pleasure, gold and silver flakes topcoat with a clear base and iridescent blue particles. I've applied one coat over Nicole By OPI A Like-Haley Story. It applied well but I've had to play around with the placement of the flakes so they would spread evenly. The silver ones are bigger in my bottle which I wasn't very keen on. I'd like to see both gold and silver around the same size. The topcoat dried fast and quite smooth so I didn't apply topcoat.

Deep Deep Trouble - blue-grey jelly base with fuchsia shimmer and red, teal and silver glitter. I've applied two coats over Bad Apple Misty which is grey creme shade. The Misty nicely covered any imperfections in the Deep Deep Trouble. It was almost opaque in the two coats though. It applied nicely, dried reasonably fast and there was enough glitter in the bottle.

Easter Egg Hunt - pale blue jelly with teal shimmer full of multi-coloured hex and bar glitter. What a fun spring combination! The glitter is nicely random and reminds me of painted Easter eggs. The pigmentation was lower with this one, I needed three coats for the coverage you see in the pictures. The drying time was good and removal the same as with other glittery polishes.

Moonlight Sonata - black jelly base with subtle teal shimmer. and teal, blue, purple, holo and magenta glitter. This final finish looks absolutely gorgeous, I loved it as it reminded me of deep space. It is on the sheer side, this is three thick coats. I would recommend to apply it over black nail polish. It dried quite fast and removed as the other glitters. I needed a topcoat because it dried slightly gritty.

Back to the polishes :) I have here two new Colour Changing polishes in Poppy and Sunflower which are both part of the Spring Garden Collection. These Colour Changing polishes are no different than regular polishes application-wise so just apply them as usually. Once you get outside they will start changing colour.
These polishes were sent to me by Color Society.

From Ruby Wing website: Ruby Wing™, the first collection from SolarClub, is every free spirit’s dream: nail polish that changes color in the sunlight or daylight.

(SolarClub is part of the New York-based company Forsythe Cosmetics®, manufacturer of Color Club®-a brand dedicated to celebrating color in all its form. SolarClub represents a perfect blend of east and west, city and country, day and night.)

Color changing polish has traditionally been unpredictable. But after years of research and development, SolarClub has perfected the most consistent, stable, and durable SolarActive® technology to date. Formulated and bottled in New York City, every Ruby Wing™ polish is completely non-toxic, environmentally safe, and 4-FREE (no harsh chemicals like toluene, formaldehyde, camphor, and DBP). Plus, they're vegan, and never tested on animals. Your life is full of variety and change. Shouldn't your nail polish be, too?

Poppy - hot neon pink creme. This polish is amazingly bright pink when indoors, I absolutely loved the colour. Of course my camera didn't capture the exact shade:-/ Once I got outside, it changed fast to dark red, almost maroon brown. I wasn't very keen on that shade as I'd prefer more red-ish colour. It took a while for the colour to change back to the neon pink after I got back inside the house.

The formula was very good, it applied easily. One coat was almost opaque but my nail line was still visible so I've applied second coat. One more thing - it doesn't stink like usual nail polish! This one smells to me like hairdressers, you know the smell of hair colourants? But it could also be a poppy scent, I'm not sure (...poppies stink to me too).

Sunflower - fine gold glitter in a clear base. The glitter is very dense so you don't have to layer it and two coats will be opaque.It applied very easily, I've had no problems there. The drying time was slightly longer as I've applied thicker coats. It also dries slightly sating and quite smooth. It smells flowery and somehow the scent reminded me of sunflowers but I cannot vouch for that as I vaguely remember the smell of sunflower. Removal was difficult as with any other glitter.

Once I got outside, the colour changed very quickly into coppery gold. It sparkled in the sun so much that I couldn't keep looking at it without my eyes watering..that's how gorgeously sparkly it is!

Overall, I like these very much. The formula is good and the colour changing effect is fast and nicely visible. I'll be on the lookout for some other shades as the summer collection is full of bright colours!

You can purchase these at Ruby Wing website for $10. There's currently a 15% discount on selected shades with coupon IHEARTMOM. I've heard that Urban Outfitters sell selection of Ruby wing polishes too.
