nox twilight disco darling

this is the last of the nox twilight polishes i have to show you all for now. and it is the one with the worst name. but it is perhaps the funnest polish out of the bunch. disco darling. mmm. yep. can i ask you what in the hell does disco have to do with twilight?? nothing. we'll call this one sparkles like diamonds, because it does--just like edward in the sun heehee.

this polish is pretty spectacular. it's a little on the thick side, but i forgave it since it's full of holographic silver sparkley glitter goodness. one coat is good for a topcoat, adding some sexy sparkle to a nice creme or something. and three brings it to it's full opaque potential, holo-rific! gorgeous inside or out.

blurry, to show holo
would you wear this glitter bomb? or would you prefer it as a topcoat? i prefer it on it's own, but that's just me :)

nox twilight red velvet & crush

two more twilight polishes for you kiddies :D getting sick of them yet? well you shouldn't be, i've only done three of them haha.

red velvet is probably my favorite red polish in a long time. it's smooth, jelly, and perfectly formulated. i absolutely did not want to take this baby off! and the first twilight polish name that i didn't hate, although it's still not totally twilight-ish. i had to rename it--i just had to!! so meet rosalie, perfect huh? this is two coats, with slight visible nail line. i have a feeling you'd get a bit with three even, but hey it's a jelly!

crush, if you ask me, has no place in this collection. it's bright, loud, and a neon. not at all what i think of when i think of twilight. but oh well, wah wah wah. i didn't even want to rename this one, because i can't think of anything twilight related to name it. except maybe jessica, but that doesn't fit with the others...so there ya go. jessica it is! haha ;) (no offense to any of my friends named jessica heehee)
the polish applied very nice, although not as well as the others in this collection. two coats, dried semi-matte as all neons tend to. a pretty standard neon pink but i like it well enough! non-streaky which is a big plus!

would you wear either of these colors? are you feeling any of the twilight polishes? are you ask excited as i am to see the new twilight movie? or are you anti-twilight? i think i've told you before that i'm more of a twilight book person, but i appreciate the movies for what they are. although i think they have some of the worst acting i've ever seen ;) have a great one all!

nox twilight sugar plum

heeeerrrreeee ya go folks! another sexi hawt nox twilight nail polish. this one is called sugar plum, oy. another detestable moniker, but what can ya do. i've redubbed this fab plummy iridescent beauty renesmee :) and those of you who don't understand why i've named it that, well you probably haven't read breaking dawn and i'm not going to spoil it for you.

renesmee was a bit thick but still easily manageable to paint with. it is a pinky, violet mix with a blue flash that is really shimmery. i think maybe the closet thing to it that i own would be china glaze caribbean temptation, but they're still different enough to warrant owning both. this is only two coats even though it is a bit on the sheer side on the first layer. do you like?

nox twilight talon

here is another nox twilight nail polish, the most requested one in fact--at least to me to be swatched out of the few that i told y'all i was going to review for you.
talon is a gorgeous blue that has a bit of a teal shimmer to it, but that could just be the light honestly. it's not the most opaque blue i've ever used, but it covers nicely in two coats. it goes on very smooth and shiny and i have no complaints!

now, in grand tradition of my last post on the twilight polishes (in the comments section haha), i will pick a new name for this one too. i feel like the polish names are DUMB, so to be productive rather than complaining every time i show you a new one, i'll just rename it myself ^_^ i will call this one bella as it just fits and she wears blue a lot, because edward likes it right?? *sigh* yes i'm nerdy.

sooo we all know that twilight is an international craze so naturally anything twilight is going to sell like hotcakes.  i myself, loooove twilight, except i'm more of a lover of the books than the movies (at least these days, i used to LUUURVE me some Rob Pattinson).  i was very interested in seeing these polishes in real life, as the promo pictures weren't very exciting to me.

well, i have to report, that i'm not terribly in love with a few things, and other things i really like.  for starters, all the polishes i've tried have excellent formulas.  very opaque and pigmented colors.  however, the bottle design has got to be the tackiest thing i've ever seen.  it looks like they took the chunky faux metal Cullen crest and glued it onto the first empty polish bottle they could find.  the brush handle is a bit awkward but not too bad, but the actual brush is fine.  and the polish names??? puuuhh-lease!  seriously, crushdisco-darling?  HONESTLY??  what's wrong with something ACTUALLY RELATING TO TWILIGHT OR VAMPIRES?!  the colors they came up with are all really fun and rich, but the names make them sound really dumb in my humble opinion.  oh well, i know a lot of people are not of the same opinion so whatevs.  that's just my two cents.

here is debutante, an iridescent goldy peachy pink with a hint of mauve.  i was expecting this color to be very sheer, but it was actually perfect in two coats!  it was deceptively opaque :)  it's not my favorite color, and not particularly unique, it looks a bit like a sinful colours polish i have, and maybe is along the same lines as zoya reece happi but less pink.  anyway, i would wear this gal again.  i think i need to give her more time on my tips :)
