Lovely Blink Blink and Baltic Sand



Lovely Blink Blink ~ #2
Lovely Baltic Sand ~ #1
  
I thought I might as well show you the two other Lovely Polishes I bought on my vacation in Hungary.

First one up is Blink Blink #2, a blue jelly base with various sizes of blue, purple, magenta and silver glitter & hexes. The formula is okay, and it takes three coats to get rid of visible nail line. The drying time between the coats is a bit slower than average. I didn’t dap the glitter around, it just spread out like you can see on my pictures. One dip in the bottle per nail, as usual.

Three coats and a layer of topcoat:


I actually like this mix of glitters and I like that they were so easy to work with.


I am usually not fond of three coaters, but I must admit that it makes it look as if the glitter floats, and that’s a cool effect :)


Verdict:
I like the colour and the glitters. Although to be sure, I’m not so fond of three coats and non-fast drying time.




Next one up is #1 from the Baltic Sand collection. I am usually not a big fan of oranges, but this one called out my name! Hang on to your hats and you’ll might be able to see why.

Application was a breeze and the drying time was really good. It’s amazing that polishes from the same brand can have such a different drying time! It covers well – you could wear this after only one coat, but the colour changes dramatically after the second coat. It gets deeper, more intense, much more beautiful.

Alright, enough talk already! Here’s what I’m talking about. Two coats, no topcoat:


The shimmer in this textured polish is amazing, no less.


I mean: Look at this!


I topcoated it, just too see what that would look like. That is almost even prettier!


Verdict:
I am SO glad that this polish made me buy it. It’s really pretty and I love it – even though it’s orange! :D

  1. The blue glitter is really gorgeous! It's quite sad that it isn't perfect for you because of long drying time :c

  2. The orange is my favourite sand polish :) I also used it, when we created the musical challange (Adele-Set fire to the rain) ;)

  3. Oh my, when will I use this Baltic Sand? I have it and just because it's orange, it lays untried... and it looks pretty in the bottle. I like your swatches of it :)

    The Blink Blink looks very well, how long does it dry?

    1. The drying time of the blue is a bit on the slow side, and the orange dries fast.
      I'm finding myself liking orange more and more :)

  4. I like the look of both, even if glitters or sand aren't for me LOL - but they sure are pretty!

  5. I agree I love the look of floating glitters! the orange texture is really pretty too... especially with the shimmer... reminds me a bit of OPI Jinx which I still regret not buying :(

    1. Oh yeah, OPI Jinx. I didn't buy that one either - and I don't think I will. OPI isn't my favourite brand, even though I find myself keep buying them, haha! :D
