Models Own ~ Sardonyx
Blood scarlet red
Sardonyx is from the Velvet Goth Collection. It’s dark red and it’s
packed with tiny glitters.
The formula is a little bit thick which makes it a challenge to paint
close to the cuticles, but I managed OK. I can live with edges that aren’t
totally sharp :D Drying time between the coats is good and it took me two coats
to achieve desired opacity. I’ve read that this is almost a one coater - but
no, it isn’t in my book. Actually my camera would have loved me to apply a
third coat, but two coats is enough for the human eye to be satisfied.
The polish dries up dull and flat – hence the “velvet” in the collection
name. I don’t like my pretties to be dull, so I applied a layer of topcoat, et
voíla: All the glitter went shiny and pretty again!
Here’s two coats plus a layer of topcoat:
The polishes in this collection all have colour-matching fuzzy velvet
lids. The polishes doesn’t get the velvet feel though, just the (in my opinion)
dull look.
Simplicity is what I was in the mood for. So I grabbed a pink holo
Lilypad Lacquer called “Pink Sugar” and made three dots on each nail.
Here’s what my final mani ended up looking like:
One last picture just because I can:
I got this polish in a swap event I went to with a bunch of other girls.
We had a great time and all came home with fine new polishes :)

Oh, so great nailpolish!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, yay!
DeleteWOW, it's really gorgeous and glowing from within <3
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed :)
DeleteIt's very pretty, it looks as if was glowing its own light. The same is with the sandy Zoya, Chyna, for exmple.
ReplyDeleteI keep reminding myself to try Chyna on, but other polishes keep getting in the way :D
DeleteBeautiful colour! I've seen these without the topcoat, but I think they are better with it.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wear this without a topcoat - the topcoat really makes this polish come to life :)
DeleteI've seen this collection and wasn't impressed. But with the addition of the top coat - this polish goes from mundane to WOW! Oh cute little dots :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how big a difference a bit of topcoat can do, really! :)
DeleteI love the red microglitter! it's so sparkly and pretty :) the dots are cute too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you like it :)
DeleteLooks amazing with top coat!
ReplyDeleteI agree, and it does need that topcoat :)
