Polish Post: Mentality "Marie," "Theia," and "Dyad" Swatches & Review

Praise be, it is FRIDAY!  W00T!  I am so happy for the weekend.  This was a very long week for me - I am happy to see its end ^_^  Let's celebrate with a little Polish Post on a few polishes from the indie company Mentality Nail Polish.  Recently they shifted their product from one site to their main site, and had an uber sale while doing so - like, polishes were less than $4 a bottle with stupid cheap shipping.  I may or may not have gone a little crazay and bought, like, 10 bottles O_o  Ssshhh, don't tell my husband!

We're gonna take a look at 3 of those polishes today!  One of those is "Marie," and she is quite a looker!  Check her out:

Eh? Eh? Amiright?  Marie is a beautiful dark teal metallic polish that goes on smooth like butter.  It was super thin, but opaque after 2 coats.  In the sunlight, and even indoors, this color pops!  Dries to a semi-satin finish.  I did not use a topcoat in the photos.  Because it is a metallic, make sure when you are applying it, you brush in the same direction, or you will get streaks.  Unless you want to be a little streaky, then by all means, get your streak on!

...Okay, I'll never say that again, I promise :-/  Let's move on!  Next up is "Theia:"

Indoors

I'm gonna be honest here, because you're a bunch of fine folks.  This polish was a big ole pain in my big momma butt.  It is super freakin' thick.  I mean SUPER thick.  And it does not dry quickly.  In fact, after a good 45 minutes AFTER I applied it WITH a quick-dry topcoat, it was still not dry - you can see a nick in my pointer finger (I left it there on purpose to show you) that happened right before I started taking pictures.  And I only applied 2 coats.  They were as thin as I could get them, but the polish was pretty goopy to work with and still came out a bit thick.  Application aside, I think you can agree this color is absolutely  gorgeous!!  I established a love/hate relationship with this polish.  In the sunlight, it is much more sparkly/shiny than my camera could capture.  There are tons of silver micro flakies mixed in the blue and it really makes this polish amazing.  Clean-up's a pain, but what glitter polish isn't?  I'd say if you find yourself really digging this color, GET IT!  Just expect a little work involved :)

Last, but definitely not least, is "Dyad:"

Outdoors

Indoors

Dyad is a lovely dusty-blue/green metallic with a very subtle scattered holo in the sunlight.  While I certainly love a good in-your-face holo, I also appreciate the more undertoned holos that don't take away from the color and other features of the polish.  I like that this one mostly stands out as a metallic.  The application was almost identical to Marie, though a tad bit thicker.  Not hard to work with, though, and was opaque after 2 coats.  I've had this color on the longest, so I can tell you as far as wear time, it's pretty great.  Still has yet to chip or wear and we're going on day 3!  Definite keeper!

I had planned on a super awesome nail design to accompany these, however I was on my own with my two young children this week since the Hubs was out of town on business.  I turn into a pumpkin around 9:30 during those weeks, which leaves me pretty much less than an hour every night to do a nail design.  Takes more than an hour on average for me to do something worthy of showing off :P  I do apologize, but now that he is home, I will have the time to come up with more amazing designs next week!

As far as this weekend, though, I need YOUR help in deciding what to paint next!!  I have decided that (most) every Friday, I will be posting up 3 pictures on my Facebook Page as inspiration for my nail design I will do that weekend.  YOU get to vote via "likes" on which one you want to see me recreate!  First set is up TODAY!!  :D

Also, don't forget about that sweet Giveaway I've got going on for the next 3 days :)  Have a great Friday, and an amazing weekend!!! <3
