I have been blogging a lot about makeup recently, and therefore haven't really written much about anything nail related. That's not to say that I haven't been buying nail polish, as my bank statement would quite clearly show you that I have!
My most recent purchase is FashionistA's Mystical Dragon. I'd been putting off buying this for a while now. Whenever I placed an order on MUA's website (FashionistA is owned by the same company as MUA), I'd put Mystical Dragon in my cart everytime, and would eventually remove it because some other product would feel more necessary or useful (normally lipstick!)
But not this time! Aha! I finally own Mystical Dragon, and I'm mentally kicking myself for not ordering it sooner. I posted pictures of my manicure with this polish, and even my mum (who rarely ventures from taupe polish) remarked on how pretty it was. I asked if she wanted to borrow it. She said no. She probably had a new Chanel greige polish. Whatevs.

Mystical Dragon is a definite colour shifter! It couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a true teal or an a slightly emerald leaning teal. My pictures above don't quite show that emerald tinge, as my camera was freaking out, just even focusing on Mystical Dragon. Mystical Dragon is a glass fleck polish, and in the right light, has a golden fleck to it, which I managed to capture by blurring the shot a little.

I used two coats in the pictures above, and you can still see some visible nail line (VNL). I''m thinking that Mystical Dragon ma work well on top of a suitable turquoise or teal cream polish, thus making it more opaque. However, this would then probably diminish the colour shift of the flecks. It's like Sally Hansen Nail Prisms all over again. *sighs*
It's only when I was later in my kitchen that I managed to capture this polish in a picture that has the truest-to-life representation.

Gorgeous! I'm yet to tell you the best thing about this polish- it's price. £1.50. Less than a bus ticket in Birmingham, and you can get yours here. The polish, that is.
Coming up tomorrow, I have some MAC Holiday goodness to share with you!
