Glittering Elements ~ CE400
Deep magenta linear holo
Today I’m going to show you a prototype from Glittering Elements. I
bought it in a grab bag, and was really pleased to unwrap this beauty.
The formula is amazing, no less. It covers in one flawless layer! I
applied two out of habit, but honestly: The second layer did not make any
difference. The drying time is good.
I was lucky to catch a last glimpse of the sun before it went down, so
here’s two layers in the evening sun:
Here’s a flash picture taken in my light box, where the light is a bit
more controlled :)
Here’s what it looks like in low lights. It almost turns purple, I like
that!
I grabbed a striper I bought in Turkey. It’s from Golden Rose and
has number 142. It’s just now that I realized that it’s friggin’ bar glitter!!
Argh! :D That’s what happens when you shop in the darkness. If you don’t know
what I’m talking about, you should read this
post; that explains it all.
Bar glitter must be a thing in Turkey right now, haha!
Anyway, here’s my final mani:
Ahh… It’s nice to be in colours within the comfort zone again!! :D
Number of coats: 2 – but 1
would have been enough
Drying time: Good
Drying time: Good
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: I like the colour, also in lower lights.

Buy again: Yes I would
What a beauty - I would have liked a stronger holo, but still, it's pretty!
ReplyDeleteA bar glitter striper, that was something else LOL
I considered adding holo topper, but thought I'd give it a chance on its own :D
DeleteHehe, I have this striper and was surprised to discover bars in here too :D But it's OK striper, makes the stripes different with this kind of glitter. I like this purple one too.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed when I discovered the bar glitters, hahaha!! :D
DeleteIt's not a real strong holo I must say! Bit more delicate I suppose. Still like it!
ReplyDeleteIt's delicate for sure, but I love the colour :)
