Darling Diva Do or Do Not, There Is No Try

Today's famous quote also comes from The Empire Strikes Back! (Actually, lot of my quote inspired polishes are based off ESB... But given that it's the best movie in the series, perhaps it's not a surprise.) Darling Diva Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try is spoken by Yoda to Luke, during his brief training on Dagobah. Luke still doesn't believe in The Force and anticipates failure. It's a great moment. And a classic line you can still hear repeated to this day. Believe, I plan on using this on my boys when they are older.

DODNTINT (yes, another abbreviation) is described as a "dirty green apple base full of holo, metallic flakies of assorted colors and sizes and rose gold shimmer." Check! This polish has sooooo much going on, it's a joy to look at! Someone call CoverGirl; this is real Star Wars inspired polish. I love that the flakies, holo and shimmer add a ton of depth to this polish; it's unique and interesting. Formula was great; maybe a tad thick but easy to apply. The first coat was a touch sheer, but not too bad, and it built up nicely. I used three coats to achieve the look I wanted, though I probably could have gotten away with two.

I wanted to matte this, but either my Zoya Matte Velvet topcoat is not good or I don't know how to apply matte topcoat (is there a trick I don't know?!) because I am having issues with it actually matting anything. Soooooo sorry, missed opportunity there. I'm sure this would look awesome matteified.

While I am not a fan of greens, I love the complexity of this polish. Plus, the murky green of the base works so well for Yoda and the Dagobah swamp where he resides. Verdict: love it, why aren't all polishes this cool?!
