02 Cute but Cool

Nude with pink shimmer

Today I’m going to show you the entire recent Hip Girls Wear Blue Jeans collection. There are four polishes in the collection:

01 Start the blue Rebellion – a dark denim blue shimmer

02 Cute But Cool – Nude with pink shimmer

03 Show me what you Got! – Rose pink crème

04 Don’t by Shy! – Pastel blue crème

I used the nude as my base colour. It behaves like a true diva. It is streaky and really difficult to apply so it looks nice. I managed to make it cover in two coats but I would definitely use a third coat if I should wear this on its own. I didn’t wear it on its own though: I made flowers and dots with the three other polishes in the collection.

I topped it all with a layer of El Corazón’s holo flakie topper 421h/25. It killed the shimmer effect from the base colour, which wasn’t my intention, but never mind!

Let me show you the final manicure already:

I must admit that I really like this. The photos are taken in the morning sunshine.

This is two coats of Cute but Cool on its own. I hardly ever wear nudes but I must admit that I really like this one on me. The shimmer is really awesome.
