Painted Sabotage: A Hidden Little Treasure

 
Every now and then I go on Etsy to see if there is anything new.  I found this polish and just fell in love with it but didn’t order because I had made several purchases during the month.  Every time I would go in I was totally drawn to this polish.  It is a mint colored crème with white, purple and some silver glitters.  I broke down because I saw another polish that I had wanted so much and could really kick myself  in the butt for never buying.  It was by KB Shimmer called Newspaper.  So, I bought this one which is called Gargle Blaster.

This is Zaphod’s Ego.  After placing my order I decided that I really wanted this one since I did  not have anything in a gold and this one is just so pretty with the purple glitters and gold glitters.  So, I sent the owner, (I can’t remember her name and it is driving me crazy) asking if I could get this gold Zaphod’s Ego instead of Gargle Buster.  One good thing about Etsy is that they do tell you how many bottles of polish are left so seeing that Zaphod’s Ego was selling quickly I figured I’d buy Gargle Buster on my next purchase.  To my surprise she included Zaphod’s Ego in my order.  I really love this polish and believe me the photos I got don’t do it justice.  This was the third set on the first set, I used Zoya’s Goldie as a panty and on the second I used OPI’s Glitzerland and it still wasn’t right.  So, I used no panties and it came out great because it doesn’t need panties because it is very pigmented and loaded with glitters and I love the purple glitter.  It is the perfect fall color or going out polish.  Honestly,  I haven’t worn it because I just swatched it but personally this is a polish that I think needs to be in your collection just for it’s versatility.  You can wear it with anything.  I have seen women dressed beautifully and then some horrid color of nail polish and then it just doesn’t matter it ruins the look.  I also have a thing about not wearing the right undergarments with clothes but I will discuss that in another post.  So, if you want that neutral gold for your wardrobe and don’t have one check this one out you won’t be disappointed.

Ok, this is the last one.  This one reminded me of Newspaper Print from KB Shimmer which I always put off buying for something else now I believe it is discontinued and there has been this empty spot on my polish shelves where it should have been.  Well, it is not empty anymore.  This totally satisfied my need with the red, black and white glitters against the grey polish it is just so pretty and I am so happy I bought it.  I was very satisfied with the pigmentation and the dry time.  I did wear this one and did get asked where I got this polish and I told the girl.  I don’t know if she bought it or not since she was to me a random stranger but if you longed for Newspaper Print and for whatever reason didn’t get it this will make up for it.  When I saw it I thought I am totally buying this right now.  No, ifs ands or buts.  I a very happy with this polish.

In conclusion I just want to say.  I am really picky when when it comes to indies but I am definitely adding this to my short list of favorites and I have tried a lot of indies but they just didn’t do it for me, this one did.  I hope that Painted Sabotage sticks around and can really grow as a company because I hate to compare but like KB Shimmer, nice owner and great polish and I  believe this little indie can have the same success and I do wish them that much success because they do offer a great product.
 
Ciao for now,
Patty
