Aly's Dream Polish Purples- Dark Orchid, Electric Indigo, Electric Violet, Garnet Dreams

Here's number two of five with the purple-ish shades.

Dark Orchid is a cool toned shade that seems to be right in the middle of pink and purple.

Outdoor sunlight:
Opacity: 3

Electric Indigo is a couple shades darker than Electric Violet, and it has a brilliant satiny bright violet flash. I'm really in love with this shade!
Indoor blue-tint light:
 Outdoor sunlight:
 Indoor yellow-tint light (since my camera makes it a little more blue tinted than it really is).
Opacity: 3
# of coats: 2

Since my first swatches of Electric Violet honestly were under terrible lighting, I thought I'd add a few better pictures here.

Outdoor sunlight:

Last but not least, the first of Aly's monthly limited edition "Dreams" collection: Garnet Dreams.
All of these colors are based loosely on their respective birthstones, and this particular color is one of them.
You can see the dark muted violet, and if you look closely, you can see the red flash peeking through. The red is more obvious in person, and actually caused an audible gasp from me when I opened my package to find this beauty!

See you in post three!
