Dark blue jelly
base with small blue, green and bronze glitters and bigger blue sequins
This polish looks absolutely amazing in the bottle.
It’s packed with various colours of small glitters, and has these bigger blue
sequins that just make this look fantastic.
The formula was quite thick and lumpy, which made the
application quite difficult. I ended up having quite a lot of polish on my
cuticles and around my nails. Fortunately it wasn’t that hard to clean it up again.
It was properly opaque in two coats, although the
drying time between the coats was on the slow side – probably because the
polish is so thick that it’s impossible to apply thin coats.
Here’s how the mani looks with a generous layer of top
coat to smooth out the surface somewhat:
It’s a very pretty polish, I really like it. It has
such a depth to it! To look at it is like staring into a deep, deep blue and
then see glitter. On the negative side is the lumpiness, which I found to be
impossible to smooth out. My nails felt like what I guess the surface of the
moon must feel like!

Oh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThankies! :)
DeleteToo bad about the lumpiness, it looks gorgeous though!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think so too. I have seen that some fellow bloggers are using "gelous" to smoothen out with. It's not something I'm familiar with, but I might try and find it and see if it's any good.
DeleteSorry about the application, but it looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, but I probably won't be using it very often because of the application. We'll see. Perhaps it needs to find a better home. :)
DeleteThat sucks about the application but it's a gorgeous shade! It kind of reminds me of twilight!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it does too! I hadn't thought of that.
DeleteI especially enjoyed the depth of the polish.
Wow! That is a stunner! You're right, the illusion of depth in incredible.
ReplyDeleteI did some shopping today! I think you'll be very happy. =) As far as treats and what you can't get there, I called in a little help from and old highschool friend who now lives in Odense. She's given me a great list of Canadian treats that aren't available in Denmark.
Oh, I am seriously excited already!
DeleteI've done some shopping too - and awaits something in the mail for you before I'm ready. :)
I'm a bit jealous of this, haha :D I love that it's so deep!
ReplyDeleteHaha! :D It reminds me of KleanColor's blue eyed girl. KleanColor's is more beautiful, but it takes even longer to dry. ;D
DeleteI do love the base blue color-so stunning!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm getting more and more into blue polishes - I like that. :)
DeleteBeautiful! I love jellies!
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about them, but I like this one because it actually covers greatly. :)
