I have been dying to get this review out to my lovely readers for a couple of weeks now. I received this set right at Christmastime and I was also recovering from being sick most of December. My sweet hubby just has double carpal tunnel surgery the other day, well, on our anniversary! Needless to say, we are healing up nicely, my company has departed and the dust has settled in our house. 😉 I’m so excited to finally share these four gorgeous polishes with you. The Baroness X Dreamscape Part II collection is a simply put, “DREAMY”! Let’s take a look at these fabulous indie creations!
The Dreamscape Pt. II collection is a set of 4 iridescent shifty micro flakies and thin metallic shard glitter polishes. Opacity: use 1-2 coats as a topper over any color you’d like, looks best over black or complimenting darker colors. From left/rear: Dynastic, Phantasmic, Surrealistic and Etheric.
The formulas are smooth and glide nicely over any basecoat (and it is recommended that you use a deep, dark or black underneath to really show how these babies pop). They dry fairly smooth and I recommend a thin topcoat. They wear really well. After swatching all four of these, I wore one of them for full week, plus a couple of days. Although easy to remove, I had very little tip wear and no chipping. On with the Dreamscapes!
First up, Etheric!
Etheric seems like it was made for a glossy black undercoat. Shown here is one thin coat over Chloe & Bella “Blackout”.Etheric is described as: “Etheric is a glass flakie polish with fuschia glitter shards. The flakies are a larger size which promotes a strong multichrome effect. Facing forward you can see a bright teal and it shifts over to blue, purple and then fuschia. You can wear this on its own but it looks great over black or complimenting colors.”
Dynastic is a dynamo!
Dynastic shines golden with clever green/gold shifts over a deep blackened mahogany red by OPI, “I Sing in Color”.Dynastic is described as: “a glass flakie polish with bright red glitter shards. The glass flakies are a larger size which promotes a strong multichrome effect. Facing forward you can see gold and it shifts over to green and blue. You can wear this on its own but it looks great over black or complimenting colors.”
Phantasmic is like peering into the Caribbean!
Phantasmic gives off a mermaidy sheen…a really fluid shade shifter. Here I used one thin coat over “Poison Ivy”, a deep blackened green shimmer by Wet ‘N Wild.Phantasmic is described as: “…a glass flakie polish with green glitter shards. The glass flakies are a larger size which promotes a strong multichrome effect. Facing forward you can see a turquoise blue and it shifts over to a deeper blue and violet. You can wear this on its own but it looks great over black or complimenting colors.”
And Surrealistic is stunning!
Surrealistic simply glows over black polish! Here I used one coat over “Blackout” and topcoated with “Crystal Clear” by Chloe & Bella.Surrealistic is described as: “…a glass flakie polish with blue glitter shards. The glass flakies are a larger size which promotes a strong multichrome effect. Facing forward you can see a pink leaning purple and it shifts over to orange/amber or gold. You can wear this on its own but it looks great over black or complimenting colors.”I love how Demi includes glass buttons on the lid tops. Great for when you’ve got your giant Baroness X collection all crowded into a helmer drawer! The Dreamscape Pt. II collection, from left: Etheric, Dynastic, Phantasmic and Surrealistic.
