Dance Legend Shining
Rainbow ~ #11 Red
“Red” scattered holographic
Dance Legend’s Shining Rainbow collection is from a while before they
became really popular outside Russia.
It’s a series of scattered holographics, and some of them are really nice.
The formula of #11 is the same as in the other Shining Rainbow polishes
I’ve tried. It’s easy to work with, doesn’t require an aqua base, it covers
well in two coats and drying time is a bit faster than average. That’s adds up
to Pretty Good, I think.
Here’s what #11 looks like in direct sunshine. Two coats, no topcoat:
And a shot from a different angle:
It looks pretty cool, don’t you think? Did you wonder why I wrote “red”
in quotation marks in the headline? It’s because this is red with pink – not a true
red. And that’s a shame, because I don’t like it as much out of the sun - ugh!
Let me show you what I’m talking about. Here’s a daylight pic, out of the
sunshine:
See? It isn’t as nice, is it? I don’t think so, anyway. But I stamped on
it nontheless. I used XL stamping plate H and stamped with a black no name
stamping polish. I sealed the whole thing with a layer of topcoat, and here’s
my final mani:
I like this a lot. The stamp doesn’t overwhelm the holo effect!
It’s a shame that this isn’t as pretty in the shadow, but I think I can
live with it in this case. <said the girl who didn’t want to get rid of too
many holos, haha!)

This is pretty! I got #6 from Shining Rainbow. It's darker than lavender, but not as dark as the Dance Legend site makes it look. But very pretty and nice formula. My brush may have been a bit wonky but oh well, I still got a good and neat application.. I may use my Termo Trio again and see if it will still do color change, or if the thermal properties are starting to wear out...I am very entertained by thermal nail polish!!
ReplyDeleteI really like Dance Legend's formulas, I think they work well. I wasn't aware that the thermal effect would wear out from the polishes over time. Perhaps I should use mine more often while they still work then! :)
DeleteThis is really pretty, but I like holo's with a bit stronger effect even better :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I do too. It's a nice scattered holo though :)
Deletehaha getting rid of holos? who can ever do such a thing! :) It is gorgeous but i think i like it more in the sunlight also. I think I still would wear it tho, its pretty! Merry Christmas my friend!
ReplyDeleteWell, sometimes I need to destash, but I admit that it isn't many holos that actually made it to my box of shame, hahah!!
