This Twinsie Tuesday's theme is a discontinued polish. The only polish I knew for sure that was discontinued in my stash was Peacock Feathers. I got this one from Crystal when she sent me Elle's Spell.
Peacock Feathers is a duochrome of royal purple and green. The formula is a bit thin, but not runny. The first two coats were a bit streaky, however, by the third coat, it was fully opaque.
For the swatches below, I used three coats of Peacock Feathers with no base or top coat:

The only problem I had with this polish was that after only a short time wearing it, it stained my nails. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad, but I know this definitely needs a good base coat.
I really think this is a pretty polish. I kept moving my fingers and looking at the colors shift. They are really nice shades of purple and green. I do realize that this is a bit unfair because this polish is very difficult to get your hands on now. Hopefully you won't want it too badly though :-/.
What do you think of Peacock Feathers?

DeleteThis polish is amazing, it's definitely one of my top lemmings. Even with a less than superb formula, the color shift is amazing. Love your swatches!!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon!!
DeleteThis is absolutely stunning Marisa! I have no idea why they discontinue such shades. You are lucky to have it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mihaela!! I think it had to do with running out of some of the ingredients. Not sure why.
