Alter Ego Roasted Eggplant, Holy Shift Thermal Custom

Press Sample

Thermals are legit all the rage right now. I've been swatching so many of these and it's a reason I've been trying to keep my nails longer. So if you're into thermals, you'll want to join the Holy Shift Thermal group! They have monthly thermals from different makers and this month, Alter Ego did a custom!

Roasted Eggplant: 3 coats plus top coat. This is a deep purple loaded with green shimmer. It's inspired by the color of the eggplant skin and the leaves of the plant. This is a more subtle thermal but it also confused me. The color changes are subtle but then your purple turns into a lighter purple then tan and whoa! The room temperature color is a gorgeous vampy purple and the shimmer really contrasts against the purple.

I then decided to totally ding my pinky nail, so forgive me for the 3 finger swatches here. But you can really see how the purple begins to change into a brown and then eventually, a tan color. You can see that my tips are still that darker purple.

Since the sun was on my side, I decided to take photos and you can see how strong the shimmer is. The temperature was moderate so there wasn't a HUGE shift, but you can see the subtle gradient of colors.

Here you can see the lighter tan color. Again, it's not a crazy color shift.  They are all in the same family and it's like hmmm, this looks different!
