Fashionista - Mystical Dragon

Hi Goddesses



It's a running joke amongst my friends that I hate teal.  In truth, I don't really HATE it, I just have trouble committing to a colour that can't decide whether it's blue or green.





This running joke started in Adventures In Stamping when I tried to exclude teal from the All Green Challenge, and now, it's a little out of control, and people have started buying me teal polishes lol.  Oh lol lol lol lol lol.  This one however, I found myself.




So why did this one grab my eye ?  Well, look at it!  It burns with a bright inner light, it's sparkly, it clearly has identity issues and ... I thought it was pretty :)




Mystical Dragon is actually quite amazing, and I think I've just about managed to capture it on camera.  This is perfectly balanced between blue and green, with an equal weighting on turquoise and emerald.   The base is a glass flecked foil which gives it startling duochrome properties, not in an overt way, but this is definitely more emerald in some lights and more turquoise in others.






I particularly love the shade photos here - look at all that fleckiness!  There's definitely echoes of gold in there too, and this is pretty much the perfect mermaid / fish scales colour.





It's also disturbing though.  First I like blues, then oranges, now this.  Do you guys even know how long it is since I wore purple ??!!!!  What the hell is going on ????






I loved it so much that I bought one for 2 teal loving friends, and as today is Teal Tuesday (for the crazy teal people), they are wearing it today - aaaaah!   So go check out Missy at www.gnarlygnails.blogspot.com and Kirsten at www.geekyowl.blogspot.com.



Enjoy xx :)

  4. Teal done right is one of the best colors imo, and it is definitely mostly BLUE! lol Green is green, teal is blue :) take the polish in this post, I would consider it teal blue with blue to green glass flecks... The green is added! This is really a beautiful shade.

  5. I don't even know how you've lived your life not loving teals! Catch me in your Net by OPI is one of my favorite of all times. It reminds me of this one in a major way. I'm glad to see you branching out to new colors. This is how I felt about reds for a long time. I've been slowly coming around lately.
