During a recent sale by Elixir Lacquers, A Cool Fool was given if you purchased 2 polishes. This is a "holographic" rainbow glitter top coat in a clear base, much like China Glaze Fairy Dust. Unfortunately, it was super cloudy this day, so you can't see all the prettiness in the bottle, and instead it appears to be a silver glitter.
I decided to use my existing China Glaze Electric Beat manicure, 1 coat of A Cool Fool, and a top of CND Air Dry.
You can see that the coverage is excellent for just one coat.
Loads of indirect sun pictures here - but you can finally see all the pretty rainbows that appear! For anyone that missed out or can't find Fairy Dust, this is a great duplicate. I had heard that Fairy Dust was discontinued, but my Sally's Beauty Supply still carries and restocks it, often, so who knows.
Slight blur to see the happy rainbows.
And finally indoors with the flash to show off the bottle, mostly. Removal wasn't bad but I did have to wash my hands well to get all the microglitter off.

More than ever, you are seeing indie companies come up with their own nail polish. Today I bring you Elixir Lacquers, created by fellow blogger - Nicole of Nail Polish Wars. Recently she had a sale of buy 2, get "A Cool Fool" free, so I had to make a purchase. Actually, I originally attempted to purchase With a K when she first launched the website but due to a PayPal error, my order had to be canceled and re-ordered. With a K is listed as a silver and violet holographic micro glitter with violet prismatic hexagon glitter, suspended in a violet jelly base. This is a 15 ml bottle for $10, and is big three free. I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and a top of CND Air Dry.
Now I'm slightly confused that my polish is most definitely pink, not violet, and the "prismatic hexagon glitter" tends to get sucked into the jelly base so you don't see it as well, but I still really love polish that is called "With a K" since I always have to say my name as "Krystal, with a K."
While I was playing with my polish being in the trees, I smudged my middle finger. Grr. Can't win, can I? Definitely a pink color though for me - not purple.
In the shade, you can see what I mean about the prismatic glitter - unlike China Glaze Techno, the glitter is sandwiched into polish.
Finally indoors with the flash and this color almost looks Barbie pink.
So is it purple? I can't call it purple - just pink. Not Pepto pink though - more Barbie girl pink. I wished it had been purple, but maybe it's just batch differences? Not 100% sure.
