Celestial ~ Fomalhaut



Celestial ~ Fomalhaut
Coral red linear holo

Fomalhaut is a part of the trio “Starry, Starry Night In Singapore” made exclusively for Mei Mei’s Signatures. The other two is Al Nair (which I didn’t buy because it’s brown) and Peacock Star, which I’ll show you later.

Fomalhaut doesn’t look like my kind of colour if you just look at the bottle. But after just the first brush stroke on my nail I knew that this was just the polish for me. Great formula, easy application, good drying time. The colour is really nice too. Not red, not pink, not really coral either. Just nice.

Take a look at two coats in the sun; no topcoat:



I’m mesmerized!!


Here’s a low light picture. The rainbows are still shining and the colour is really nice.


I did something really weird with it, haha! I sponged a blue glitter stripe across each nail. I used Ellagee’s Sexy Old Girl for that. After that I made to dots with Fomalhaut in the glitter. Last step was to topcoat it.

Here’s the final mani in the sun:


And here’s a lightbox picture taken with flash.


I love Fomalhaut, I think it’s a seriously cool polish. I’m not sure that I’m a huge fan of the final result myself – it looked way better in my head than I think it looks on my nails. :D


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good
Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: I’m really positively surprised by this polish. It’s cool on so many levels.
Buy again: Yes

    I love it when the bottle looks meeh - but on the nails it is WOW. Unfortunately it often is the other way around LOL
