Icing Mood Swing Romantic/Relaxed

Icing Mood Swing Romantic/Relaxed, three coats, no topcoat. Beautiful peachy-pink shimmer that dries matte. Cold fingers to show bottle color.

And with topcoat, as it normally looks on me. I love wearing mood polishes when my nails are long like this. Instant funky french! This is a great color combo, too. The yellow is one of those rare shades that looks great with my skintone, and the peach is equally flattering.

My husband came up with this stamping idea - he wanted something that was reminiscent of flames, and used the mood polish to its full potential. I used China Glaze Foxy and BM212. It looked much cooler in real life, with the mood polish changing color, and my stamping mistakes not so noticeable.

I know these are being swatched all over the blogosphere right now, but they're so amazing! So, I might as well throw in my oar and post the one that I got. So much for being unique and different. Oh, well - at least I can be trendy!
So, on to pictures:

Claire's Mood Wild/Calm. 2 coats with top coat. This is some of the coolest polish ever! It is a gorgeous purple with silver shimmer, that changes to pink when it gets warm. WOW. The effect is very strong and instantaneous. In fact, it was a little tough (and surreal) putting this on, because it would change as I was applying. Especially the second coat, which was purple going over pink, changing to pink as I went. 

This shows how quickly and easily this stuff works: I just covered the tip with my thumb for about 30 seconds, and it went completely pink.

Sorry these two are a bit blurry, but they're action shots! LOL. The first one is after running cold water, and the second after hot water. As you can see, they were already starting to change before I could get the shots. Yep, that's some water droplets on the first one; gives it more of that action feel, right? 

Most of the time, this is what it looks like. My husband will tell you that right around bedtime, my whole nail is dark purple. Just about the time I roll over and put my cold little paws on his nice warm chest.
