NOTD: CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond over ANNY Crazy Shot (582)

The biggest trend in the nail polish world of 2012 must be the upcoming indie nail polish frankeners and manufacturers. Many new and fascinating brands went into production this year and of the most mesmerising indie brands is CrowsToes. Today I am showing you the breathtaking CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond over ANNY Crazy Shot.

I was gifted Triple Black Diamond by the lovely Arian and I was in awe the second I had the bottle in my hands. Triple Black Diamond has been a huge lemming of me and it did not disappoint. :)

CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond looks like black nail polish with glitter in the bottle but it actually has a clear base. What makes it look black is the gorgeous small black hex glitter.
The black glitter is dense enough for one medium thick coat of Triple Black Diamond being enough for a layering.

POST FAQ
Availability CrowsToes nail polishes
You can purchase CrowsToes nail polishes on llarowe.com for currently $14 a bottle and on overallbeauty.com. Please note that because CrowsToes is an indie brand with handmade nail polishes stock is little and not always available. Llarowe ships international (Italy excluded) and Overall Beauty also ships international. The countries Overall Beauty ships to can be found here.
CrowsToes also has a shop on bigcartel but it is currently closed. CrowsToes only ships within the US as far as I know.
Coats used
ANNY – Crazy Shot (582): two
CrowsToes – Triple Black Diamond: one (medium)
Base coat and top coat
Base coat: OPI – Nail Envy Matte
Top Coat: Essence – Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer: four coats

Isn’t CrowsToes Triple Black Diamond gorgeous? I layered it over a medium dark green to make the black glitter show up and I love how the layering turned out. I adore black glitter but also the medium sized purple hex, small aqua/blue duochrome (or even multichrome) square glitter and small and medium sized holo hex glitter make this Triple Black Diamond an outstanding nail polish.

Triple Black Diamond is a top coat eater though. Not the worst I have ever used but I needed four coats of my beloved Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer to even the surface out. However the Essence top coat is very thin so it should equal two coats of a thick top coat like Seche Vite.

Do you have a favorite CrowsToes nail polish? :)

Thanks for looking and have a great week! ♥
