Today's polish is RIDICULOUSLY sparkly and shimmery. I don't have an official description to be able to tell you exactly what's in it but I think it has holo microglitters and a slightly metallic/slightly pearlescent shimmer that turns into a pastel rainbow in the right lighting. This polish is so delicate and dainty and at the same time colorful and loud. This is Outshine from Bee's Knees Lacquer.

Overtly Gothic-sounding music is not normally something that I gravitate towards. Within my collection, I have plenty of material by the likes of Type O Negative and Paradise Lost, but then who doesn’t? That aside though, my quota of Goth rock/metal is pretty sparce to say the least. However,…
I sometimes feel like the black sheep of the families aren’t given enough credit, you know? Like there should be a song dedicated to them for trying so hard to fit in and still stand out without having to try.
Yes, this is just a computer game. Not on PlayStation, not on Xbox, not on anything Nintendo's ever made. You play this on a computer or you don't play it at all. The reason for this is simple: Outshine is a typing arcade game and you need a keyboard to play it.
@fishingcactus have cut their teeth in the extremely specific niche of expansive typing games; as well as Nanotale: Typing Chronicles, they have also made the much more famous Epistory: Typing Chronicles. Outshine is yet another venture but with less of an emphasis on story and more of an emphasis on arcade gameplay. Simply put, it is a blast.
You run along a linear path with five lanes and you shift between them with Left Control/Shift and Right Control/Shift. Enemies appear in your path and you dispatch them by typing the word that shows up on them. Enemies come in a few varieties; you have standard ones that plant themselves in front of you but you also have flying ones that hover in adjacent lanes and fire saws to restrict your movements and there are generators that summon enemies and you also have to contend with walls and boss fights with their own mechanics. You also have a couple of special abilities: Tab activates a Shield and Enter fives a missile volley. Mind you, using them reduces your score because, well, this is a typing game; that's what it's testing you for.
Yes, Outshine has bosses. They even have their own unique mechanics (although some of them just combine the mechanics of their predecessors but still).
Outshine is currently available only on Steam. It also has a free demo on Steam. Game's really cheap as is but at least check out the demo; it's worth it for the uniqueness alone and uniqueness ought to be celebrated in this day and age.
