Joss ~ Caribbean Holiday


Joss ~ Caribbean Holiday
Sky blue linear holo

When I saw Caribbean Holiday on Facebook I just knew I had to have it. And I was told that the stock was limited, so I ordered as soon as I saw it on Norway Nails’ website. I ordered it along with some of its sisters, but that’s a different story - one that I will get back to! Anyway, I was so pleased when the polishes arrived because this looked just as pretty in real life as it had done on the pictures. The big question was: Would this prettiness transfer to the nails. Stay tuned, and we’ll find out in a minute!

I used my regular base coat. Joss polishes don’t need the special aqua base coat to work, I really like that fact. I applied two easy coats, and the polish lives up to my high expectations fully!

Take a look at this:



It takes my breath away!!



Here’s a shot from a different angle. Isn’t this just pretty??



And the holo also pops in lower light, which I really like. This picture is taken in regular daylight: 




There’s no top coat involved in any of the previous picture!

Now for a bit of stamping. I used my new plate, Apipila P.6 and a no name black stamping polish. I bought my Apipila plates in a group buy on Facebook, and I am totally in love with all of them. The designs are SO cool and easily big enough to fit my whole fingernails, which is just great!
I chose a scattered design, and here’s the final result:



This design is a total winner for me! 


 
It’s the closest we get to a crackle without involving a crackle polish! :D



There’s topcoat on the stamped nails, and it’s my all time favourite: Poshé!
