Top Shelf Lacquer ~ Absinthe

Top Shelf Lacquer ~ Absinthe

Sea foam green jelly base with holo and holo micro glitter

Absinthe was from the The Magic 8 Box from May 2016. There were 50 boxes made and the theme was music. Absinthe was inspired by Moulin Rouge. I got this bottle in a grab bag recently.

The formula is good and easy to work with. I used three layers for my mani; if I hadn’t been a blogger I probably would have stopped after the second coat. The drying time is good.

This picture shows three coats and a layer of topcoat taken with flash.

Here’s a daylight shot, no sun.

I made a tape mani out of it. I used some nail vinyls I bought cheap from Aliexpress, and I used Darling Diva’s Francis as my second colour.

This picture is taken with flash and includes another layer of topcoat.

Let me turn off the flash so you can see the vinyl motif :D

Here are the pretty sisters.
