    I usually shy away from black nail polishes, but this one has so much pretty sparkle in it that I might be less freaked out 🙂

      No reason to be freaked out, Sunny! They can look very chic.

    The Raiders are, once again, breaking my Raider lovin’ heart, le sigh. But surprisingly, the A’s are more than making up for it – in late September!! I’d still love to see another round of Raider Nation nails though Karen!

    This polish is pretty but Cirque’s Dark Horse is the black glittery polish on my wish list.

    I love it in the bottle. Glittery polishes often apply streaky/clumpy for me, though. Can’t wait to see the Raider nails! 🙂

      Bummer to hear that glitters don’t always work for ya, Kim! They can be super fun. You know what might be cute? If the boys are playing hockey this year… a mani with their team colors!

    My Niner fan is telling me ‘No’
    But my nail polish fiend, my fiiiiiiieeeeeeend is telling me ‘Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh-s’

    ….Yeah I totally gave away my R. Kelly immersion during my childhood. #shamedninerfan ._.

    You think Sonia Kashuk’s Starry Night is a close enough dupe to Creator? I bought it yesterday at Target. I totally didn’t know Illamasqua had something similar available.

      Hi Tennoyceres,

      LOL! Not gonna lie — I have more than a few R. Kelly songs on iTune. The remix to Ignition, hello!

      Okay, about Starry Night. They’re more like cousins rather than twins. Starry Night’s glitter pieces are much finer and have more of a square shape. Here’s a swatch from fall 2010, which is when it first hit shelves:
