deBBY ~ 80
Ocean
blue/grean/teal, almost metallic
I received this pretty polish in a swap with sweet
Elsa from Like a Candy Shop. I’m fond
of colours that remind me of the ocean. I don’t know why, that’s just the way
it is. That means that I have quite a few polishes that look pretty much like
this one. That’s one of the beautiful things about swapping: I wouldn’t have
picked this myself, because I have quite a few in this colour range. But little
did I know that this polish is very different to the others in my collection.
It’s way more vibrant and pretty!!
The formula is ok. The coats go on fine, but leave a
few brush strokes. It’s totally opaque in two coats. And man, it’s vibrant! Let
me say it again. Vibrant. That *is* the word for this :)
Here it is; two coats, no top coat:
I didn’t mind the brush strokes very much. I knew I
was going to use this as underwear for a glitter I bought in a blog sale:
Finger Paints’ “Art You Wondering”, which is fine teal and green glitter in a
clear base. The application felt fine, but I can see on the pictures that the
brush pulls a bit on the glitter, leaving more glitter on the tips than on the
rest of the nail. It wasn’t really visible in real life, so I guess it doesn’t
really matter :)
One coat of “Art you Wondering?” over the deBBY 80.
I really like this, but I wanted more! You should know
me by now :D
I had stamping in mind, but since I was working on
something (from home), I couldn’t be bothered pulling out the stamping gear. So
I found some stickers I bought a long time ago, and applied a star on each
nail. Then I topped it all with a layer of Poshé top coat, and here’s what it
ended up looking like:
I like this!! It probably won’t last very long,
because I can feel the stars poking out from underneath the top coat, and I am
a picker!
This is the first time I wear stickers on my nails, btw. It probably won’t be the last.

ReplyDeleteThank you - it's amazing what a star or two can do to a mani :)

DeleteOh, this deBBy polish is amazing, lucky Italian girls to have access to them! =)) I own one too because my cousin Raggio di Luna sent it to me and it's beautiful blue glitter, which I love!
ReplyDeleteFinger Paints glitter looks amazing over it and those stars pop up some fun! Great manicure, I love it! =))
I actually saw deBBy polishes last time I was in Germany, so it's fortunately not limited to just Italian girls :D Hooray for that!
