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:
