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? :)

  2. I 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

    1. This glitter is really odd, but usable. I totally understand why you guys think it's too much and that's ok. :)

  3. I like the first and second one. At the moment for some reason not too keen on chunky glitter :)
