Oh my god! I am insanely in love with this polish. It's such a gorgeous shade which flashes all the colours of a peacock feather. This post also concludes my serious of reviews of Stay Quirky's black Magic range of polishes. I'm honestly torn between this one and 1112 Book of Shadows. Can't decide which I like more.

Shade
So this shifts primarily from a stunning dark emerald green to a bright peacock blue to purple at extreme angles. It looks so beautiful in person, and is really hard to capture in pictures. It's really one of those shades that looks different depending on the lighting and your viewing angles.
I have to mention that I love emerald green polishes. Noir Emerald from Avon is one of my favorites. But the green in this polish tops that!

Formula and Application
This is one of the most pigmented of some of the other polishes from this collection. Two coats over black really make the colour pop. If you're careful with application and avoid getting too many brush strokes you can get a gorgeous metallic finish. The shift in this polish is also stronger than the other polishes from this collection. The only other polish that comes close is Book of Shadows.

Longevity
Pretty decent, definitely one of the more long wearing formulas from this range. But it will obviously depend on your application, do remember to wrap the polish over the free edge of your nail.

Final Thoughts
I would absolutely recommend this polish. My only complaint is the small size of the bottle. I applied this over my fingernails and toenails and I've only got about 60% of the bottle left. But I'm definitely ordering a couple more of this shade.
So this post wraps up my swatches and reviews of Stay Quirky's Black Magic Range. You can find links to my previous reviews from this collection here. Once again, I had only ordered 5 of the 7 polishes from this collection, so if you'd like me to review the other two , send me an e-mail or comment :)
