Hi everyone! Today's post is an indie brand that I hadn't heard of before, Different Dimension. DD takes inspiration from things like movies, books, and causes close to her heart.
50 Shades is inspired by, you guessed it, 50 Shades of Grey! It's a dark grey jelly base with lots of different types of glitter and shards in it. Seriously, there are a lot. For this swatch, I've shown one coat over Sally Hansen Wet Cement. Wet Cement is a pretty light grey so you can see how much the base is tinted.
Light It Up Blue is a polish inspired by World Autism Day, the organization Autism Speaks, and its Light It Up Blue initiative. This polish is so appropriate for its inspiration, because it literally lights up blue! How cool is that? I've layered one coat of it over white for this swatch. Of course, layering over white causes the polish to glow better, but this one really doesn't need help glowing -- it has an incredibly strong and quick charging glow.
An awesome thing to note about this polish (and her other autism awareness polish, Puzzle Pieces) is that 50% of the profits are donated to the cause.
Social Suicide is a black and white glitter AND the name comes from Mean Girls! I'M ALL OVER IT! I've layered one coat of it over China Glaze Wicked Style. It has really good glitter density and applies easily. I love the combination of glitter sizes, and this is a great option for those of you that don't like black and white glitters with bar pieces.
That Is So Fetch is another polish from the Mean Girls collection. I've shown two coats of it here over OPI Rumple's Wiggin. This polish is primarily purples, but it also has some great iridescent glitters in it! I really love this one, it's delicate, like a spray of flowers or something.
All in all, a really great range of polishes with some really fun inspiration! The formulas on all of these were really easy to work with. I think my favorite is Light It Up Blue...but you guys know how much of a sucker I am for glow. :)

I LOVE Light It Up Blue and the cause behind it :) Will definitely be looking into making a purchase soon.
ReplyDeleteUh that glow polish is AWESOME and I'm crying over the ones named after Mean Girls. I think I'd want them specifically for the fact that they're named after that movie but they're also my favorite ones! May have to place a lil order soon...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous polishes! I absolutely love all of them.
ReplyDeleteSocial Suicide is my fave! I also like 50 Shades, if I can get over the fact it's named after the book lol (not a fan).
ReplyDeleteI need to get a couple of these! Love that they're named after films and shows and things, brilliant idea x
ReplyDeleteIt's probaly not possible to get these shipped to Finland.. what do you think? :S I'd love to get them all, they are way too pretty just to be passed by!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be excited to get the 2 good cause shades, thanks for the code. Just wish shipping to Canada isn't as high :(
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in love - Social Suicide is just what I need!
ReplyDeleteI love the glow in the dark polish! It looks so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI just went and snagged 'Social Suicide' from the shop. I've been searching for a good black and white glitter polish (since so many shops that have great ones are closed on etsy right now) and I'm really hoping this one is great! Thanks for the discount code!
ReplyDeleteJust bought 50 shades because of your lovely swatches....ahh!

ReplyDeleteI went to buy a ton of these polishes after reading this post - added all to my basket and found out they don't ship internationally :( Heartbroken right now as those polishes are a whole other kind of awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so tempting, especially with the discount code! Especially Light It Up Blue...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swatches, as always Sarah! :) I'd buy Light it up Blue for sure, too bad it's out of stock right now.
ReplyDeleteThese are really great polishes, thanks for the swatches! :D
ReplyDeletePlease please please search the web for the phrase "Autism Speaks doesn't speak for me" and STOP supporting them. I love your blog and the nail art you do, but every time I see you supporting Autism Speaks my heart dies a little.
