Cirque ~ Xochiltl



Cirque ~ Xochiltl
Orchid linear holo

I am somewhat glad that this blog doesn’t come with sound, because I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce Xochiltl! It’s the Aztec word for “flower”, by the way, and Xochiltl is from the recent Heritage collection.

The formula is really good and so is the drying time. I almost achieved full coverage after the first coat, but the second coat levelled out all my little irregularities.

Here’s what two coats look like in the sunshine:


Isn’t that just a pretty orchid colour?


It’s also pretty in the shade, take a look:


I decorated it with flowers :D  I made five white dots on each nail and then place an orange dot in the middle. Here’s what that looked like in the sunshine:


And the mandatory low light picture:


I find the simplicity of this extremely pretty. What say you?


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: I like this colour way more than I thought I would and I obviously love the rainbows!  
Buy again: Yes

I bought Xochitl from Edgy Polish

    I love it, as you might remember - and I agree, but it looks like yours has just the same holo as mine (remember you said mine had more ;)

    1. Thank you, and perhaps the makers of polishes with odd sounding names should make a little sound file on their website :D
