Why hello, lovely Chameleon Mari Moon!  Aren't you pretty?!

 This is two coats swatched over clear base coat with no top coat.

 This one applied relatively well, despite the brush needing a nice little trim.

Stay tuned for more Mari Moon swatches!

 Cool!  Yeah, that's the name.  Cool surprised me by being awesomely pigmented.

 These swatches are shown at two coats over a clear base and with no top coat.  I would definitely wear this as a mani with just two coats!

 This is probably my second favorite of the Mari Moons!  I really like the richness and depth.

Want to know my very favorite?  You'll have to wait a little longer!

 This is two coats of Cutie Pie, shown over a clear base coat with no top coat.

 Are you wondering what the heck Mari Moon means, like I am?  Well, apparently it's the stage name of a VJ on Brazilian MTV!  It looks like Mariana sells clothes, has vibrantly colored hair, and that the actual name "Mari Moon" was inspired by the Japanese Sailor Moon.  Cool!

 To my dear Brazilian readers, feel free to add any pertinent or fun information in the comments!  :)

 Cutie Pie is just lovely.  Blue, pink, and purple make me swoon.

Again, I would probably opt for three coats or to layer this over black for an actual manicure.  It looks just fine at two coats for these quick swatch pics, though.  Another beautiful Mari Moon awaits you tomorrow!

 Greetings, Nation!!  I have Mari Moon swatches for you!

 Yesterday was overcast and gloomy out (which is perfect for multichrome pictures, by the way), plus I was coming off of the week wearing Sally Hansen heart stickers, so, I figured a little swatch sesh was in order!  I've had the Hits Mari Moons for a while, I just haven't gotten around to trying them out until now.

 This here is two coats of Artsy shown over clear base coat and without top coat.  If I was wearing this as a mani I probably would've added a third coat just to be sure there weren't any translucent areas.  That, or layered it over black.

The brush on Artsy (along with every Mari Moon I have, save for one) was no fun and a challenge to work with.  I find the shape to be difficult for getting close to the cuticle area.  Also, there were splayed out bits and pieces.  I trimmed off the offending bits with my trusty Tweezerman cuticle nippers, which helped.

Instead of showing you all the swatches at once, in one ginormous post, I'm going to stretch it out.  :)  Stay tuned for all the others!
