Red Week: Star Gazer 160

For today's installment of Red Week here on the blog, I have for you another Star Gazer Polish.

 Star Gazer 160 is a gorgeous shimmery red.  This one took about 3 coats, because I wanted to make sure that it was opaque, and two coats looked a little sheer.  This color has gorgeous golden shimmers in it, which gives it added dimension. Just look how this color pops!  I added 1 coat of Hong Kong Girl Topcoat to the polish to make it super shiny!

I have been super surprized by Star Gazer polishes!  I am glad I picked them up, because they are all great polishes, and I wish I had grabbed more!

Just look at all that shimmer!

I have a new love in stargazer polishes, the formula is nice, the brushes are decent, and for the price, they are great quality!

Tomorrow I have some awesome nail art for you with red, so stay tuned!

Star Gazer 128

I have a new found love for dimensional colors. Colors that just have more to them than a flat color or plain glitter.   This is one I picked up in London on a whim, and I am so glad I did, because it is gorgeous!

This is Star Gazer 128.  I picked this polish up while my boyfriend and I were on our way to Greggs to buy some Yum Yums when I saw nail polish in a little side store. He let me stop in, and I am glad I did, because of the stargazer polishes I have tried, I have been absolutely pleased with the quality and colors.

I would consider this a magenta-y purple with the gold shining through where the light hits it, and i used 3 coats to get the opacity you see here. (it is a duochrome, but I think it has more dimension than a duochrome.)

After posting it in the Polishaholics group, it was brought to my attention that this polish is kind of similar to China Glaze Awakening and Zoya Shevon. I don't have those, but looking up swatches they do look similar.

I love this polish.I wonder what it would look like if it were layered over, say, a purple.
