Shades of Phoenix Astraios

Hey guys! I have a swatch of a Shades of Phoenix polish to show you today! I definitely took my sweet time trying this haha! Well, I bought it in March so I guess that wasn't that long ago compared to some of my other untried polishes... Anyway. Onto the pretty polish. :)
This is Astraios by Shades of Phoenix! A blue jelly base with blue squares, silver microglitter and holographic star glitters! I absolutely adore polishes with stars and other shapes. :D It's so sparkly and blingy! I had to shake the bottle a bit before I used it to get the stars out but that's not really a big deal for me.
This is 3 coats of Astraios with top coat.

I absolutely adored this polish on Teneil so that's what made me want it! :D And the adorable stars help too, hehe.

Shades of Phoenix polishes are available to Aussies on Etsy (but she has had her shop shut for a while to do her first overseas shipment!!! So I'm not sure if the shop will be open again when this post goes up... If not - I'm sure it will be very soon!) and will be available very soon on Color4Nails worldwide! :D AND she's releasing her new collection too! Super exciting stuff.

So tell me - do you like shape glitters (hearts, stars, flowers) in your polish or do you find them childish? I know some people really don't like shape glitters but I think they're adorable. :)

  5. I think what you posted was actually very logical.
    But, what abot this? suppose you added a little information?
    I am not suggesting your information isn't solid, but what if you added a post title to maybe gett
    folk's attention? I mean "Shades of Phoenix Astraios" is a little boring.
    You mightt look at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news headlines to grab
    viewers interested. You might add a related video or a related ppic or two to get people interested
    about everything've ggot to say. Just my opinion, it could make youir posts a little
    livelier.
