Penelope Luz ~ Confetti
Transparent base with micro glitters in matte blue and neon yellow
I started out with a green OPI, Forrest My Case, which is a really
lovely green crème. It’s easy to work with, it covers well and it dries
relatively fast. It’s a heavy stainer though, and the only reason I’ve still
got it is because it’s a Sephora Exclusive, and I have a soft spot for store
exclusives.
Let me show you how pretty it is. Here’s two easy coats and no topcoat.

Isn’t that just an amazing green? I love it!
Moving right on to the Penelope Cruz. When I first saw it I thought it
was green. The mix of blue and yellow glitters gives the impression of green –
it’s quite spectacular! But anyway, the formula is good. It’s a bit on the
thicker side, but I like that, so I ain’t complaining. I applied one coat and
it just glided on like butter.
Here’s the result:
Can you see why I thought it was green?

I'm not so sure about the green on it's own, but it looks good on you - and the layering totally won me over :D
ReplyDeleteThat is really nice to hear, thank you. I would never wear the green on it's own either, as you know ;)
DeleteOh wow! The OPI is pretty but with Penelope on it - it looks stunning. Penelope really is a stunner isn't she! Wow :-)
ReplyDeleteShe sure is. I'm still amazed over how green she looks :)
DeleteGreat combination! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love the combination! The two polishes really go fantastic together! :)

Thank you so much - I think so too :)
DeleteThe perfect combo! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat pleases me so much to read :)
DeleteGreat combo! And it reminds me of Floam! I guess this would be a good alternative seeing as Ninja Polish is no more.
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking Floam too, when I saw this :)
