First one I am sharing with you is Giant Anteater by Dimension Nails.
This is from the latest collection named Argentine Pampas Collection, and I really liked this one and another one... My budget is limited these days, so I had to decide, and I picked this one.
Can you imagine how excited I was to see the polish I was eyeing in my parcel? I will show you that one tomorrow.
Giant Anteater is pale muted turquoise, and is so pretty in person. I absolutely adore the formula of Stephanie's creme polishes, and this one is not exception. It applies smooth like a butter, and was opaque in one coat. I always apply two coats, and swatch below shows you this pretty color in two coats, and I did not apply the top coat. It dries to a high gloss.

What I love about Dimension Nails polishes that they are mainly named after animals, and Stephanie (owner) donates the percentage of the sales to the animal shelters and/or sanctuaries.
You know that I have the thing about matching the name of the polish to the first nail art I do over it, especially when I do swatches, which I did not do in a long time...
Thing is, anteater is not the animal I do have on my stamping plates - I guess it is not very popular animal. Image I used was closest to the animal that would look like anteater... I suspect this is a kiwi bird from New Zealand...
In any case, if I can't share the anteater image, at least I can share some fun facts about them.
They are related to sloths, and have only three fingers on the front extremities. Giant Anteater is the biggest of the four species, and can grow to be 6-8 feet long.
They also live relatively long - in the wild, they can leave up to 15 years, while in care of the man up to 25 years! Their tongue is about 2 feet long, and covered with sticky saliva that makes it easier to eat ants and termites. They eat exclusively ants and termites.
After this short biology lesson it is the time to see what I created here.
Image I found is on old Maniology - Polynesia BM-XL115 stamping plate.
Stamped with the brown polish, and topped with glossy top coat.
Have yourself a wonderful day.
Cheers!
