Girly Bits ~ Man Size Love
Purple linear holo with
blue microglitter
Man Size Love is from the 80s bands girls collection from summer 2014.
It’s described as periwinkle blue and all the swatches I’ve seen have
been looking blue – and I might be colour blind but this definitely looks
purple to me. Purple or blue – I guess it doesn’t really matter, because fact
is that it’s pretty.
The formula was OK. I did have a little problem with coverage after the
first coat, but the second coat covered up all the little flaws beautifully, so
I’ve got no complaints. The drying time is pretty good.
Here’s what two coats and a layer of Essence Top Sealer looks like in
the sunshine:
In the sunshine you’ll get a good feeling of the blue holo flame.
In the lightbox the blue microglitters show up and twinkle so
beautifully!
I tried to stamp on it but failed twice, grrr. After the second attempt
I realized that it just wasn’t going to work for me, so I grabbed a striper
from Aden
instead and made two diagonal stripes on each nail. Here’s my final mani in the
sun:
This is a low light picture.
I dig this. The polish is gorgeous and I love the simplicity of the
stripicure!

Very pretty colour! I would say it for sure leans purple though.
ReplyDeleteI actually ordered it along with another purple and when I opened the package I was like: "Huh? Did I order two purples?" :D
DeleteI like this shade a lot. And it goes well with the stripes. On my screen it's more purple.
ReplyDeleteI think it's purple on my nails too :D
DeleteIt's really pretty - and I think a dark periwinkle is a good description...
