Different Dimension Resting Beach Face

Resting Beach Face was released in August 2016 by Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension as part of the Pretty Nauti collection. Creator Missi describes this one as a "light silvery sea blue holographic polish with added shimmers." The color is a light, silky silver with just the lightest tint of azure that's kind of like an alice blue, only with a silver base instead of white. While it's metallic by nature, it has a soft rather than hi-res reflectivity and carries a pale pink sheen courtesy of abundant ultrafine pink shimmers. Holographically-generated pastel hues of blue, green and gold nuance the color beautifully in ambient light, and in the sun there's a brilliant fully linear prismatic display featuring a splendid rainbow flare that frames a gleaming lick of silvery pink and shades to a pale celeste blue at the edges of the nail.

Application was wonderful. The consistency of Resting Beach Face is fluid, light and smooth with a medium consistency and a silky, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two medium coats. Cleanup is easy. Resting Beach Face dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, slightly flat finish. Topcoat adds a becoming gloss and does not interfere with the holographic properties of the polish in any way.

The name of this polish is hilarious, I love it! It's a take-off on the "bitchy resting face" phenomenon documented by Broken People on YouTube in 2013. 

The polish generally appears silver until you get it next to a light blue, which brings out the pretty alice blue tint. I absolutely adore the pastel nuances to the color in ambient light. The have a glistening, nacreous quality and the colors make me think of Aphrodite rising from the sea at dawn, so delicate and pretty!

love,
