Glittering Elements ~ Dragons Blood & Xmas Lights

Glittering Elements ~ Dragons Blood & Xmas Lights  

Dark wine purple with gold shimmer & Multicoloured and multisized glitter in a clear base

Today I’ve got two Glittering Elements polishes to show you! I can hardly wait!

The first one, which I used as my base, is Dragons Blood. It’s a deep dark wine purple with shimmer, and it’s actually just a bit darker than I’d normally go for. I couldn’t resist a shimmer with a name like Dragons Blood though!

The formula is great, no problems in that department. It covers almost in one single coat. I gave it two because I wanted to make sure that I didn’t leave any irregularities. Had I been more careful with the first layer, I could have got away with one, just sayin’! Drying time between the coats is average.

I decided to wait with the topcoat, so here’s two coats on it’s own.

It’s dark and vampy, and the shimmer does wonders for this polish IMO.

The polish also shows both blue and green tones of shimmer in certain angles.

Then I applied the second Glittering Elements: Xmas Lights. It’s a clear base with lots and lots of festive glitters in various shapes. I see blue, green, red, silver, gold, orange and holo, round, square, hexes, mini and micro – it’s got it all!

I applied one coat over each nail. And you know the drill: One dip in the bottle per nail. The glitter was easy to spread out, I didn’t push the brush around much to get it to look like I wanted it.

And here’s how that turned out:

I must admit that I didn’t think I’d like a glitter with that many colours in that much, but I do like it a lot!

This glitter would go over pretty much any colour imaginable!

And next time I might use it in a glitter gradient, I think.

So, that’s two more Glittering Elements. I can see how the brand has taken a big step up the indie ladder recently – that is such a cool thing. I’m glad to follow and see what pretties she’ll come up with next.
