multisized silver
Sometimes a polish looks better in the bottle than it
does on the nails. I hate it when that happens! With L. A. Color’s Voodoo it’s
the other way around: It looks alright in the bottle, but absolutely great on
the nails.
Voodoo has a great formula, the polish glided on
easily, leaving no streaks or bald spots. It could have been a one coater, had
I been more careful with the application. But; I gave it two coats, to be sure
that everything was evened out, so to speak.
No top coat yet:
Isn’t it just beautiful? I love the colour and the
shimmer in it.
I should have left it like that, but I didn’t. No, I
absolutely had to add a new glitter I bought the other day – a Revlon called
“Belle”. It’s a silver glitter in various sizes, but in a clear base.
After one coat of that, I had a feeling that I had made
a mistake. So I applied a second coat to see if it helped. It didn’t.
<sigh> I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but the glitter was a
mistake. It didn’t at all give the bling effect that I was after. It only
dulled the original polish.
Here is the finished mani with one coat of no name top
coat:
What do you think? Was the glitter a mistake or not?

Hmm, I see what you mean about the glitter dulling the green but I still like it!
ReplyDeleteIt was OK, just not as cool as expected. I'll try and stamp on it next time. :)
DeleteI still like it with the glitter but the green was definitely a star all by itself! =)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to offer... I don't make it over to that Icing store very often but next time I'm there, I could pick up some of those glitters I posted the other day for you. If you wanted to do a swap at some point?
I'd be more than happy to. I've left you a note on your blog post, so let's get in touch about it. :)
DeleteUhh elsker "Belle" :)
ReplyDeleteJa, man kan ikke få for meget glitter! :)
DeletePersonally I love the glitter over the top! I think it works well with the green base.
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh goodie, I'm glad at least somebody likes it, thank you! :)
DeleteThe glitter definitely becomes the center of attention, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's great that there are some, that actually like it. I appreciate that. :)
DeleteNot being a glitter fan-I do like the before!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd like the green :)
DeleteI quite like the glitter. I Love it.. I would like to make a jelly sandwich with this glitter. so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, actually. I might try that. I've yet to make a jelly sandwich myself! O_o
