I was gifted this color a while back, and decided I needed to swatch it for you. I want to add a HUGE disclaimer before you fall too deeply in love. This color stains big time. It stained my nails, and all of the skin around my fingers were stained a medium blue. Some of it came off when I showered, but it took a few days to completely get rid of the color. I can't imagine what kind of damage this would do if I had worn it for longer than an hour.





Halley's Comet is a rich medium blue and green shimmer. The green shimmer is really subtle and only noticeable in certain natural light settings. Halley's Comet is super sparkly with or without direct light. I think that's one of the many reasons I like it. Unfortunately, the intense staining ruins this color for me. I will probably only wear it on my toes from here on out so that it doesn't stain my hands again. Shown above is two coats topped with Revlon- Quick Dry Top Coat.

How do you feel about colors that stain? Are they a deal-breaker?
