Each month, the twelve Makers Dozen brands along with a guest brand make an exclusive polish based on a theme. For September’s bird theme, Alter Ego was given clear as her colour. Cynthia chose the Western Bluebird as her inspiration for this month’s polish.

Using a pearl white gave it a really nice base to cover any visible nail line without taking away from the slightly blue-grey clear base. If you are going for a darker colour base, a blue or grey works better than black. It does have some texture at full opacity so if using a thinner top coat, you may need two coats.

Alter Ego Western Bluebird (Makers Dozen September 2019) Overview

  • Coats required:  3 coats for opacity or wear as a topper
  • Dry time:  Decent but since it is a glitter polish, allow coats to dry to reduce dragging the glitter on the next coat
  • Wear time: Good but only worn as a topper (worn just for swatching at full opacity)
  • Issues: None but is a glitter bomb so you may need two coats of thinner top coats to smooth the nail and scrub a little on removal.
  • Colour: Clear base with blue, orange and white microglitter
  • Buy It: Limited edition for Makers Dozen, only 40 bottles available. $10 US / full size only. Buy direct from Alter Ego.
