Isadora ~ Peacock
Deep vibrant blue
Peacock is the last polish I bought from Isadora’s “Jewels of the
Orient” collection from autumn 2012. I have several blue polishes in this
shade, but knowing the quality of Isadora, I decided to buy it anyway. And I wasn’t
disappointed.
The formula is just as good as I’ve come to expect with Isadora. It
covered perfectly in one easy coat. Consequently I decided to not apply
another, because I couldn’t believe that it would make it any prettier. Don’t
take my word for it though – take a look at this pic. It’s one coat, and no top
coat yet:
How about that?
Then I applied a coat of OPI “Pirouette my Whistle”, which is a clear
base with small silver glitters, and larger white hexagons. It’s from the New
York City Ballet collection from spring 2012. It was the only one I picked up
from that collection: I am definitely not into nudes, but I love glitters!
This is one coat of glitter over the Peacock:
It reminds me of a clear blue winter sky with snow! I love this:
Then I decided to add more glitter. Yes, there’s always room for more
glitter, lol!!
I sponged Finger Paint’s “Laugh my Art off” on the tips. It’s a blue
base packed with small blue glitters.
After that I finished with a layer of NYC top coat:
And the final mani from another angle:
Here’s the bottle shot:
So, what do you think? Isn’t this just a perfect winter mani or what?
