Elianto Glittery Nickel

I received this beauty in an awesome swap with a sweet NB'er in Singapore. As soon as I swatched it, it shot onto my Top 20 list. =) It recently got knocked off the list by a Missha polish, but Glittery Nickel is still in my Top 25.


I honestly don't even know what color to call this. In the bottle it looks like a murky purple. It pulls rather brown on me. So I guess it's one of those purple-brown shades we've been seeing a lot of lately, but with this amazing shimmer that makes it something special.


And you know, I've commented before on how beautiful the bottles are in so many of the Asian brands. This is what the top of the cap looks like. Why can't US polish companies do stuff like this?


This polish reminds me a lot of Zoya's new shade, Neeka. I actually had Neeka in my hands for a few days because I had gotten it for a swap with one of my buddies, and I decided they were too alike to own both.


Cilucia says I need both, but I DON'T BELIEVE HER. =p


Anyway, here's a bunch more pictures of it. I've run out of things to say! It's beautiful. I love it. =)

Why I Love Swapping

Swapping is a HUGE part of what I love about my polish hobby. It's a way for me to connect with women all over the globe who share this passion, and it's a great way for both sides of the equation to get their hands on polish that we never would have had access to. My latest international swap was with my buddy over at Happyberrynaiad. I was able to squash some long time lemmings through this swap, and got some gorgeous polishes I didn't even know existed. Thanks, sweetie!

For starters, she sent me some awesome extras from Singapore.



Yes, the brand of these lollipops is Cowhead. I love this. =D

Then, the pretties that she sent me.



And, of course, swatches!
