Femme Fatale ~ Dragonscale
White base with a golden
green shine and golden flecks
Dragonscale is an effect polish, which means it’s meant for layering. I
wasn’t in the mood for layering over black, and I knew that this would look the
best over a dark base. I chose to use a P2 Color Victim polish as my base,
namely “Blue’s Brothers”, which is a marine blue and very squishy looking. I’ll
show you how that looks on its own later on – because this post is about the
Dragonscale.
I cut striping tape into little pieces and applied them to my nails, and
then I painted one coat of Dragonscale over it. I removed the tape immediately after
having applied the layer of polish. Here’s the result:
I deliberately made the stripes different in length to achieve a cool
look.
Here it is from a different angle:
The flecks makes this polish spectacular, I really like the shimmer it
has, and the name fits it just perfectly!
It’s amazing what good coverage Dragonscale has. This is just one coat
over a very dark blue:
The polish is a colour shifter. It shifts between green and purple, even
though green is definitely the prominent colour. This angle shows a bit of the
purple:
Femme Fatale writes about Dragonscale:
It is
also the nail polish version of our Golden Peridot eye shadow!
In that case I’d love to get my hands on that eyeshadow too! I can only
imagine how pretty that is.
Here's a bonus picture I took in my local DVD store. I'm holding a Simpson's movie:
It's amazing how the green holo of the box makes the polish change its colour too!
Here's another thing I did with this polish:
I took a dark green polish, L. A. Girls Metallic "Deep Sea Mica", and applied two coats as my base colour. After having let that dry, I applied one coat of Dragonscale, and before it dried, I dapped it with a kitchen sponge to remove some of the effect polish.
Pretty cool, don't you think?? This polish has heaps of options in it!
So - what do you think of effect polishes like this one? I know I like them!
