Layering Avon, Dona Mirelle and Golden Rose

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? :)
