IT Style ~ Gel Look #11

IT Style ~ Gel Look #11

Dark blue with shimmer

It’s time for another one of my Italian polishes, namely one of the IT Style I brought home from my holiday earlier this year.

The formula is easy to work with but the polish is a bit sheer. I thought I could get away with two coats but I had to apply three coats before I was fully satisfied. The drying time was pretty good so I forgive the three coats. It’s a really nice blue too!

The stamp I used is from stamping plate Mezerdoo39 and I stamped with “Orchid”, a cool stamping polish from El Corazón.

There’s a layer of El Corazón’s holo flakie topcoat 421h/25 on top of it all, and this, dear ladies, is my final manicure:

Here’s a photo of #11 on its own. It’s supposed to be “Gel look” and it does look really nice, but I don’t think it looks like gel. I could probably have fixed that with a layer of topcoat, but then it’s the topcoat that makes it look like gel and not the polish.

I’m definitely satisfied with this polish even though I think it’s incorrect to call it gel look. I’d buy it again for sure.

Number of coats: 3

Drying time: Pretty good

Finish: Jelly with shimmer
Overall impression: A really pleasant colour and I like the subtle shimmer

Buy again: Yes
