Above the Curve Diablos

This is just a swatch post, I'll Be having a few swatch posts this month because I haven't had a lot of time to do my nails.
Diablos is described as " a dark reddish brown almost mahogany holographic polish"  It is just so pretty.
For me it was a bit brownish but I'd say mine was more of a coppery bronze-y type color when not in bright light but still very pretty to me
These pics are 3 coats of Diablos in different light.

Dr Finklestein and Fallen Angel

Two indie polishes in one manicure :)
I used 2 coats of LynBDesigns Dr. Finklestein, which was layered over 2 coats of Above the Curve Fallen Angel. I then Stamped with my Snoopy stamp LO06 using 17 Teal.







Dr. Finklestein is described as a sheer blue base with a hint of green loaded with teal diamonds, blue hearts, small pale green and silver hexagons, and silver holographic glitters. As we all know I am in favor of polishes that apply like polishes.  Let me just say I did no fishing at all for those blue hearts, they came right out and went onto my nails with no problem what so ever. I love that so much about this polish. It looks almost exactly the same in the bottle as it does on your nails which is super nice. As I have said before it may have been the bottle that attracted me but it was the formula that kept me.

Above the Curve - Fallen Angel

I just received my order from Above the Curve, all the polishes were lovely but my favorite was Fallen Angel. 
Fallen Angel is described as a holographic with pink/purple/blue color shifting shimmer in a black base. It is really very pretty the pics just do not do it justice. These pics are 2 coats and it applied really very well. Now unless you put it over a black base I am sure you wont ever get an actual black color no matter how many coats. Its a very lovely scattered holographic polish that is  light to dark grey on its own. Its particularly beautiful outside but it is no slouch inside either.

Now I know with my shoddy camera skills it almost looks like salt and pepper glitter polish but I assure you it is not so. First it was way too easy to remove to be a glitter, and second it is not grainy at all it has a very smooth finish. 

Best of all when you buy this polish $1.00 from each bottle sold will be donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children. Polish and a gift to charity YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT!.
