Darling Diva ~ Space Beetle
Duochromatic, holographic glittery colourshifting polish
I simply don’t know how to describe this polish colour wise. Carrie
herself describes it like this:
This is that awesomey
beetle wing like polish that I worked with to turn into a fantastic linear
holo!
I have often seen girls debate which colour this should be layered over.
I didn’t have that problem, it was obvious to me that it needed to be layered
over Isadora’s dark green shimmer “Beetle Green”. I’ll show you what that looks
like at the end of the post.
Anyway, I applied two layers of Space Beetle over the dark green.
Application was easy and drying time was good. And I had sunshine!
Take a look at this amazing holo:
Can you see as many colours as I can?
Here’s a lightbox pic. This shows a lot of colours, also the pink this
polish contains.
What did I do with it? I figured that a polish called Space Beetle
needed a bit of space to actually work. I wanted to make a night sky! I applied
a layer of Alix Avien #110, which is a silver/holo glitter in various sizes.
It’s perfect for a mani like this. Take a look for yourself if you don’t
believe me.
Pretty cool, yes?
Here’s the polish I layered it all over: Isadora’s Beetle Green. This is
one coat:

DeleteI love Space Beetle! I skipped the layering part though and worn it on it's own :)
ReplyDeleteHow many layers did it take to make it opaque? :)
