Glam Polish Illusion

This post has been in my Blogger archive for quite some time, so my nails are a lot longer than they are now. I thought it was time to show it now. This is Glam Polish Illusion. 

Illusion is an icy blue pastel with prismatic glitter, white matte glitter and a subtle holo effect.  This one makes me think of Frozen and winter in general. It's very pretty and super hard to photograph properly. Not the colour but how the polish looks on the nail. The finish was completely smooth but it looks a bit textured in the pictures. 

The pictres are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula was good. Two cats gave full coverage. It dries quickly but the finifh becomes textured and slightly matte. It's top coat hungry so two coats of top coat is needed for the finish to become shiny and smooth.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Illusion, one coat of Pretty Serious Aqua Coat and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Glam Polish Beauty Queen

Hi darlings!

It's my 22nd birthday today and I've been celebrating all day. I wanted to show you a lovely polish today that's no longer in my stash. This is Glam Polish Beauty Queen. I sold it because I have a few that are a little too similar to it but it's still gorgeous. It's not what I'm wearing today though. My birthday polish is actually Smitten Polish Cart Hold?? That I've already shown on the blog. 

Glam Polish Beauty Queen is a purple holo with prismatic microglitter. It's absolutely beautiful! I love purples and this is probably a must have for most people that live purple. It wasn't what I expected though. It wasn't as holo or sparkly as I thought and therefore I was a little disappointed. I still liked it a lot and it's beautiful I just didn't fall in love with it as I thought I would do. 

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is great. Two coats give full coverage and it dries quickly. The finish becomes shiny and smooth but needs top coat to become really glossy. 

Whaty you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Beauty Queen and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Foxy Paws The Polish Formerly Known As Purple Rain

Hi guys!

This is Foxy Paws The Polish Formerly Known as Purple Rain. That's a really long and complicated name. Linda at Nailorama gave me this as a birthday gift last year.

The Polish Formerly Known as Purple Rain is a pale, but quite bright, purple holographic. I love how strong the holo effect is!
This is the first polih I try from Foxy Paws and the only polish I own from the brand. I like this polish and I'm really happy with it.

The formula is good. It's a bt sheer but three coats gave full coverage. It dried fairly quickly with top coat.
TC won't affect the holo effect.

What you seein the pictures are three coats of Foxy Paws The Polish Formerly Known as Purple Rain and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Hello darlings!

Today I'll show you Glam Polish Ohana from the Over the Rainbow Flakie Collection.

Ohana is a burgundy jelly packed with iridescent red-to-orange-to-gold and green colour shifting flakies, gold glass flecks and a subtle holographic effect. It's a amzing. The colour is so deep and rich. This polish is glowing! The glass flecks and flakies give it that lit-from-within-look I love so much.

This is a perfect red. I love it!

The formula is impeccable. Two coat gave full coverage. The finish becomes shiny and smooth even without top coat.

Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy

Hi guys!

This is another post that I was supposed to publish durig Christmas. That never happened so I'll just post it now instead. This is Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy. 

Maple Sugar Candy has a translucent base packed with caramel golden prismatic micro glitters. it's beautiful. I like the colour, it's very unique.  I have no other gold polish like it in my collection.
It's supersparkly. I wore it a lot during the Holiday season. I probably won't wear it during the summer since colour for me is very autumn-y.

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is great. Three thin coats give ful coverage. It dries quickly but the finish becomes slightly textured. top coat makes the finish shiny and smooth.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Smitten Polish Maple Sugar Candy and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Colors by Llarowe K-9

Hi sweeties!

Today I'll show you Color by Llarowe  K-9. 

K-9 is a blood red jelly. It's gorgeous. I love the colour. It's classy, elegant and sexy. It's amazingly shiny and that's probably what I like most about it.
I usually wear a lot of sparkly polish or glitters or holos, so it's nice to mix things up with something simple like this one.

I'm wearing this right now, but the pictures are taken a few months ago when I wore this the first time.

The formula is great. It's totally self levelling. The first coat became streaky but the second coat evened it out. I needed three coats to achive the coverage in the pictures. It dries a tad slowly even with top coat but it is a jelly and they dry slower than other polishes.

What you see  in the pictures are three thin coats of Colors by Llarowe K-9 and on coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Flower Dotticure

Hi darlings!

Yesterday I did a flower dotticure. I've seen lots of pretty flower dotticures the last few weeks and I've been wanting to do one myself.
I decided to use blue, white and red because those three colours go so well together. I love how this mani turned out. It's elegant since the colours are a little bit muted but it's still fun. I really like it.
I'm very into matte manicures right now. This started out with a supershiny finish but ended up matte. I like both version.

The polishes I've used are OPI OPI... Eurso Euro, OPI Coca Cola Red and OPI Apline Snow. I made the dots and the flowers with a dotting tool. The matte top coat I've used is Pretty Serious Matte All The Things!
 

Smitten Polish Nose So Bright

Hi guys!

Yes it' summer now but I still have posts from Christmas in my blogger archive that haven't been published. This is one of those posts. I think it's time to show you this one. It's an absoulute stunner. This is Smitten Polish Nose so Bright.

Nose so Bright is true red holo. It's slightly pink leaning in certain lights but it's definitely a true red.
I love red holos and Smitten has made a lot of  amazing red holos but this one is the best of them. I love how deep and vibrant the colour is. It's perfect for the Holiday season as well as any occasion when you feel like red is the way to go.
I acctually need a back up of this one. That's how much I love it.

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is impeccable. Two coats gave full coverage and it dries quickly. The finish becomes very shiny. Top coat does not affect the holographic effect.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Smitten Polish Nose So Bright and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.
