As with the first set of duochrome toppers, I layered these over black creme to bring out the shifts to their best advantage. The shimmer in this trio has a denser look than the Mythological colors, with a microflakie/flecked finish rather than tiny scattered shimmer particles.
Ever Blue shifts from blue through blue violet and purple to red violet. The shift is quite strong even in indirect light. Depending on the angle, you may see the whole range of colors on each individual nail or you may see a single color dominate on one nail and a different color on the next.
I wasn't blessed with cloudless weather the day I swatched these, but there was some sunlight filtering through. Outside, the dense shimmer gave Ever Blue an almost metallic look at some angles.
Splash Dream shifts from purple through pink to gold. I absolutely fell in love with this one.
In sunlight, Splash Dream displayed the same almost-metallic effect that Ever Blue had and proved to be quite the chameleon. Sometimes it showed the full purple to gold shift, sometimes it went all purple, and sometimes it went mostly gold.
Seriously, those last three photos are all of the same polish, taken within about a minute of each other. Amazing. Okay, just one more of Splash Dream.
Star Jewel shifts from cool-toned green to golden green. This is a more subtle shift than the other two in the trio.
Here's Star Jewel in sunlight:
Obviously Splash Dream is my favorite of these three, though they are all beautiful. The formula was easy to work with, not too thick or too thin. I used one coat of each of the toppers over the black creme and did not need to add any clear topcoat as they were smooth enough on their own.
This trio is available as a set of full-size bottles for $22.50 or minis for $9.50 at the Starlight and Sparkles etsy shop. Individual bottles are available for $8/full or $3.50/mini. You can follow the brand on Facebook here.
