Just another layering
experience
I was in the mood for another layering experience with some of the
polishes from my infamous box of untrieds.
I started out with Avon’s “Night
Violet” which is a deep purple-based burgundy with blue shimmer. A gorgeous
vampy polish for sure. The fomula is a bit thin but it still only took two
coats to make it opaque, which was cool. Drying time is average.
Here’s what Night Violet looks like without topcoat:
Check out the shimmer – isn’t she just pretty as?
I added a coat of Dona Mirelle’s L10. It might also have a number, but
all the text on the back side of the polish is in Russian, so I can’t read it.
Anyway, it’s a silver/holo microglitter. It’s not really a topper, but I used
it as such, ‘cause that’s the kinda girl I am. It does cover quite a deal of
the original polish underneath it. Take a look:
I like the holo effect it added and also that it toned the darkness of
the Avon down. That sounded better in my head, but you know what I mean.
Time for gliddah! I found a purple glitter from Golden Rose’s Carnival
collection. It’s number 08, and it’s purple, and it’s glitter in various sizes &
shapes, including shreds and bar glitter. Interesting mix for sure. I added one
coat over my existing mani, and here’s the final result for today:
I quite like the mix!
Do you ever layer just for the sheer heck of it? :)
The Dona Mirelle is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteIt's quite special :)
DeleteI LOVE the two first steps, but then it became a lill' bit too much with the glitter ;)
ReplyDeleteBut as you know, I'm not a glitter girl like someone else I know hahahaha
I did go crazy with the glitter, because that's how I roll, hahahaha!!
DeleteI agree with Maria ^^^ I like the first two together a lot but the third is a bit much for me personally. It is a really interesting look though I haven't ever seen any polish quite like it! I have a feeling it's probably something that looks better in real life too
ReplyDeleteThis glitter is really odd, but usable. I totally understand why you guys think it's too much and that's ok. :)
DeleteI think its very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteI like the first and second one. At the moment for some reason not too keen on chunky glitter :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great that there's a polish for everybody. I like that :)
DeleteThe holo looks wonderful over the Avon! I really like the effect :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love hearing that :)
DeleteAvon nail polish is beautiful and the layering looks cool too! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you like it :)
