Different Dimension Odyssey II

Odyssey II was created by Missi of Indiana-based indie polish maker Different Dimension for Polish Con September 2017 and released as part of the ongoing Road to Polish Con series on the Polish Con website at the end of July. Officially described as a "bright magenta pink linear holo with hints of copper shimmer," the color is an effervescent, cool medium pink along the lines of deep pink light with aspects of rose pink and magenta, lightly silvered by holographic pigment. Powerfully holographic, it displays nuanced shades of lavender and ultra pink in ambient light. In the sun, there's a brilliant linear prismatic display featuring arcs in all of the rainbow colors surrounding a glistening lick of semi-metallic warm coppery pink and shading to magenta at the sidewalls of the nail. 

Application was a delight. The consistency of Odyssey II is fluid, light and smooth with a thin-to-medium viscosity and an effortless, even, self-leveling slip over the nail. So nice! Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Odyssey II dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat accentuates the presence and effects of the copper shimmers, but does not inhibit the holographic effects of the polish at all.

What a wonderful polish this is, with its gorgeous, lively pink color, pronounced holographic effects and excellent, eminently-paintable formula! 

I've been feeling disoriented and profoundly heartsick after the events in my hometown of Charlottesville last weekend (thus my sporadic posting this week), but as I was working with this polish my spirits finally began to lift. I'm sure that there are people out there that consider nail polish to be inconsequential or even trivial in the larger scheme of things. But anything that brings a bit of joy to life is a blessing and a force for good in this crazy world. 

Thanks, Missi! I needed that!

love,
