Dark Shimmers

Time for the 7th comparison of the series! Wow, never knew I had this many polishes that were close enough to do comparisons! =/

Today, we have Misa Dying Love, Misa It's You and TFS BK901 in the spotlight. All three of them are dark (almost black) polishes with some form of shimmer or fine glitter that makes them more interesting than your normal black polish.

Dying Love is a black-based polish with silver/grey shimmer and it applied very well. It's You is more charcoal-based with a duochrome purple and green shimmer. TFS BK901 is similar to It's You except it's black-based and it has duochrome purple and green (tiny) glitter particles. All 3 polishes needed 2 coats to be opaque.

L-R: Misa Dying Love, Misa It's You and TFS BK901. Here you can see the various glitter/shimmer finishes of the three polishes.

TFS BK901 and hopefully you can see both the purple and green glitter a little better in this picture!

Honestly, you can only see the shimmer/glitter in Dying Love and BK901 under strong sunlight or with flash (if you're taking a picture) so effectively, they both look like black polish indoors. It's You were a little more in-yer-face with it's duochrome shimmer so if you're going for a more obvious effect, then I suggest you choose It's You among the three.

I actually love how BK901 looks so intergalectic. It's very space-age and gives of a really cool looking effect! All in all, I really like the overall glitter/shimmer addition to the polishes. It would have been so boring if it were just the base colours but the shimmer/glitter livens up  the polishes!
