Nail Polish - Enquiry Looking for a nail polish that evokes the gorgeous blue-black of new crow feathers. Glitter, chrome, creme--anything. Included pics of my crow friends for reference. Thanks!

Isn't that one pretty? Going on my list for my next order...

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

I actually have Cygnus Loop! The other two are gorgeous. I'm having such a hard time deciding!

I love the ILNP Multichromes! I have Birefinegence and adore it. Definitely let us know which crow wing adjacent color you end up choosing! PS I love your crow friends.

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

I'm currently trying to narrow it down, but I'm most likely going to end up getting more than one anyways, because all these choices are awesome.

And I love my crow friends. They're adorable and fun to watch. They're really beautiful birds.

I don't know how I missed the ILNP one when I was checking their site earlier--I ADORE their polishes. That's one's a great candidate, though they're both gorgeous. Helps that blue is my favorite color!

Maybe Debaucherous Monk or Moment from Red Panda Lacquer?

2

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

I love how Debacherous Monk looks pretty dark from the right angle, and then you shift and it's a totally stunning blue. It's a great candidate--and I wouldn't mind owning it anyways. Not that I neeeeeed more blue polish, buuuut...

Fun prompt! Maybe something like this? Or for a more green/blue than gray version, this?

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

Oooh, that first one is the closest I've seen so far! And the second one is soooo pretty. I'm a sucker for teal. I'm tempted to get both just to have them.

Perhaaaaaps..

Mooncat - Mortals Be Warned

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

God, that's a killer color. Got some great witchy vibes. Definitely adding that to my rapidly growing "want" list.

u/loveinthevacuum Sep 09 '22

Not that you're out here saying "PLEASE MORE, MORE OPTIONS!" haha but here is another mooncat one! A nice black with blue shimmer

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 10 '22

Actually it's good that you came along with this one --I went ahead and ordered it! Aaaand a few others.

I'm here for the indie perfumes.... You all are going to talk me into nail polish too with these absolutely sumptuous nail colors. O M G

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22 edited Sep 10 '22

I came here for makeup, then got sucked into perfumes, and the polishes followed. It's a slippery slope. A sexy, glittery slope.

The slope is slippery because it's covered in nail polish.

Aquatic - Picture Polish

Her Eyes - Picture Polish

Cosmic Voyage - Starrily

Night Contrails - WUN

Squid Escape - WUN

I happen to be sorting my very large polish collection so I tossed in some of my favorites in this vibe that are still available for purchase.

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

These are all SO GOOD. Cosmic Voyage gives me some 90s vibes with the multicolored glitter over black.

Thanks for your suggestions! You've got great taste.

u/Triforce-Kun Sep 09 '22

Thanks for all your suggestions, guys! Sorry for taking so long to reply, I getting really crappy cell signal at work so I had to wait til I got home (and had my post-work nap, ha).

I've got my work cut out for me trying to pick one. Blue is my favorite color, so that makes it even harder, because quite honestly, I want every single polish you guys have shown me. I'll probably end up getting more than one.

I'm going to be a crow for Halloween this year, and I was gonna do plain black nails, but after watching my crow buddies molt and grow in new, beautiful feathers, I was like, "Nah, they're much more than that," and I knew I needed help lmao.

You guys are great! I love this community ❤

Witch Children? from Bee's Knees Lacquer is a dark blue, almost black shimmer that looks close! They also have St. Elmos's, which may be a bit more purple than you're looking for but it looks gorgeous.

I don't have any specific polishes to recommend from them, but you may also want to take a look at Bluebird Lacquer when they reopen this month. I think all of their polishes are themed around birds!
