Darling Diva I Want to Bang You Like a Screen Door in a Hurricane over Cirque Memento Mori

I Want to Bang You Like a Screen Door in a Hurricane was released in February this year by Minnesota-based indie polish maker Darling Diva Polish as part of the Bad Pick Up Lines Part Deux collection for Valentine's 2017, a series of six toppers and one black creme that picks up from Carrie's Bad Pick Up Lines collection for Valentine's 2015. The names for Part Deux were solicited from the members of We're All Darling Divas, the brand's Facebook fan group, and I have to say that they really delivered the goods. So to speak!

This particular polish is one of four multichrome flakie toppers in the collection, with metallic colorshifting flakies that display a spectrum of reds, pinks, oranges, golds and yellows as well as holographic flakies, all suspended in a clear base. The shardy little multichrome flakes in bright, glowing, sunset colors punctuated by silvery holo flakes are too delicious for words, especially over black. Carrie says it reminds her of a monarch butterfly, and it really does! It's like a multichrome flakie version of CrowsToes' awesome glitter polish Shoot the Butterfly from 2013. I love it!

I used Cirque's rich black one-coat creme, Memento Mori, as my base color for this manicure. The consistency of I Want to Bang You Like a Screen Door in a Hurricane is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and a remarkably fluent, even, self-leveling glide over the nail. I had no difficulties whatsoever working with this beautifully-formulated lacquer and the component payoff is Goldilocks fabulous, neither too sparse nor too dense, and requires no special technique to disperse evenly over the nail without stacking, stickups or protrusions over the free edge. I applied one medium coat, and did my cleanup as I went along. I Want to Bang You Like a Screen Door in a Hurricane dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. 

Photos show one coat of Memento More over treatment and basecoat topped with one coat of I Want to Bang You Like a Screen Door in a Hurricane and finished with a layer of Seche Vite.

Eye candy! This is an awesome fantasy polish look, not for everyday perhaps but variety is the spice! I absolutely adore the colorway and the drama of the colors against the black. Those multichrome flakies gleam and shift in the most mesmerizing manner -- I can hardly take my eyes off of them long enough to type! In the sun, of course, you have the added brilliance of prismatic sparkle, but I like the look in ambient light best. Fantastic work, Carrie!

love,
