Debby ~ 74
- with friends in an
experiment
Today I start out with another polish my boyfriend bought for me for
Christmas: Debby. It has no name but
it’s number 74 and it’s a shimmery green. I guess I might keep him after all ;)
The formula is good and the polish is easy to apply. It’s a little bit
sheer so I did use three coats for full opacity. The drying time is good, so I
forgive the three coats, haha.
Here’s how pretty it is:
I added glitter: China
Glaze’s Pine-ing for Glitter from
the Twinkle Holiday collection from Christmas 2014. I think it’s meant to be a
topper. I applied two coats over the green Debby. Pine-ing for Glitter has a
teal side, so it’s doesn’t quite fit the green Debby. I thought it was easy to
apply but I can see on the pictures that I applied more glitter on some nails
than I did on others, which implies that the polish isn’t as cooperative as I
thought it was. Anyway – on this next picture I’m wearing seven layers of
polish: Basecoat, 3 layers of Debby, 2 layers of China Glaze and one layer of
topcoat:
Then I moved on to OPI’s My Voice
is a little Norse. It’s from the Nordic collection from Autumn 2014, and
it’s a light grey base with silver/holo glitter. This is the only polish I
bought from that collection and I only bought it because it was on special. I think
the entire collection has been ridiculously named and I am quite disappointed
in the colour choices too. Seriously: Does OPI really think that Brown is the
main visible/fashion colour in the Nordic countries? A little more research or
indeed imagination would have been nice, thank you!
Anyway – I applied a layer of the glitter over the rest of it, and now
we’re on eight layers!
The glitter made it all come more together, I think it’s because of the
light grey base.
Then it was time to fold laundry and that didn’t correspond very well
with not entirely dry nails. *sigh*
Anyway – I’m happy with all these three polishes, but I like Debby the
best!
Great color and combination with the glitter!
ReplyDeleteI'm super pleased to hear you like it :)
DeleteI like how it looks combined together, great base colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteThe Debby is almost like it's glowing - the glitter kind of kills it...
ReplyDeleteI know, but sometimes it's cool to experiment with layering :)
DeleteI agree with Maria. I like it better too, just the first two polish layering!
ReplyDeleteThat first green is pretty amazing on its own, isn't it :)
DeleteBig green fan over here! Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteYay for fans of green!! :)
DeleteI like the hulk shimmery green :) Wow, so many coats! I can imagine they needed quite a while to dry...
ReplyDeleteNot really, except for the last one. I did let them dry completely between each coat, that helps :)
DeleteGood choice from your boyfriend. It's a gorgeous green. It looks really nice with the glitters too :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) And yes, he does pick some pretty good polishes :D
DeleteLovely green shimmer! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree :D
