Santee Platinum Shine Metallics

Finally got around to swatching the Santee Platinum Shine metallic polishes I picked up in a beauty supply store on a road trip in the Before Time. I chose five of the shades on offer: Forest Fairy, Ocean Tear, Princess Dream, Galaxy, and Emerald.

I did Skittles with four of the colors: Galaxy (dark silver), Princess Dream (lavender), Ocean Tear (blue), and Forest Fairy (green). Galaxy and Forest Fairy were three coats; the other two took two. All have a quite nice metallic finish ... or maybe it's a foil finish ... I am never sure where the line is between those two. Very good payoff for a $3 polish (I think that's about what they were).

For fun, I topped these four with Morgan Taylor Bedazzle Me (so glad I got this one; if I'd done a top 20 for last year, it would have been on it) plus clear topcoat. This glitter mix went well with all of these base shades.

That leaves Emerald. This is a teal-leaning green, much cooler in hue than Forest Fairy, the other green I got. I used two coats for my swatch.

It really sparkles and glows in direct light:

Emerald also got the Morgan Taylor Bedazzle Me treatment.

If I ever see these polishes again, I'll likely pick up a few more shades, as they're a good value and I like the finish.
