Arcane Dreary Days

Hi guys! I have my first polish from Arcane, an Aussie indie brand made by Bec @ NailGunXS, to show you today! I've had my eye on a couple of her polishes lately but haven't been able to pick any up till recently. I bought this one through Femme Fatale Cosmetics because they stock Arcane now. :)

This is Dreary Days. I think this was one of the first polishes Bec ever made. It's a dark grey (leaning on the blue side) base with black and lavender small glitters in it. I like that the glitters are small but still pretty.

The base was a little sheer on this, I thought it was going to take a ton of coats to build up, to be honest but t was pretty opaque at 2 coats. I used 3 to be sure (with top coat). I think the base needs to be thin on a darker polish like this though, so that the glitters show through.
This polish is a perfect winter shade for me because I'm really not a fan of super dark, almost black polishes but this is just the right tone of grey.

A lot of Bec's polishes would also be really great "work-appropriate" polishes for a lot of people who can't wear anything outrageous on their nails to work, or maybe if you just like a more subtle colour on your nails all the time. :)

Do you like really dark vampy polishes or do you prefer lighter, more grey based polishes like me for the cooler months? :)

Hope you have a great weekend!
