L. A. Girl ~ Rock Star ~ Groupie
Purple duochrome
When I bought this polish I thought it was just a very
shimmery, pretty purple. I wasn’t aware
that it’s actually a duochrome, shifting between two tones of purple. That was
a nice surprise.
The formula is great and applies easily. It covered
perfectly in two coats and dried pretty fast between the layers.
No top coat yet:
I stamped on it, using Barry M’s “Lilac foil”. It’s a
lavender foil, which is perfect for stamping. I didn’t want the stamp to take
over the entire manicure, that’s why I didn’t just use plain silver for the
stars. I used a stamping plate from Essence.
Here’s how it ended up looking with a generous coat of
top coat.
I quite like it. I’ll definitely see if I can get my
hands on my L. A. Girl polishes!
