Colors by Llarowe ~ Roll Back the Miles

Cherry red linear holo

“Roll Back the Miles” is Part of the "I Need a Day Off, Too" Collection from Autumn 2018.

It’s a really nice cherry red linear holo. The formula is really good and so is the coverage. You could easily get away with one single coat of polish. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

I sponged on a bit of glitter by the base of each nail. I used Dance Legend’s “Pretty Top” for that. “Pretty Top” is a clear base with champagne and muted silver glitters and hexagons in various sizes. I love glitter gradients.

Here’s the final manicure, including a layer of topcoat.

This is the same thing photographed with flash to show the pretty effect.

And here’s “Roll Back the Miles” alone. This is two coats and no topcoat.

Orly ~ Nebula

Orly ~ Nebula

Dark metallic shimmery purple

“Nebula” is from Orly’s “Deep Wonder Collection” from holiday 2018.

The formula is amazing and so is the coverage. I used one single coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

The starry stamping design is from KADS’ stamping plate “KADS FASHION 027”. I stamped with the stamping polish “B a juicy tangerine” from Colour Alike.

Here’s the final manicure, one single coat of Nebula - including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in my lightbox.

“B a juicy tangerine” turned out a bit darker and a bit more orange than I originally thought it would. But I like it anyway.

This is one coat of Nebula on its own.

Silver sparkly linear holo

“Tinker, Thinker, Winker” is is from OPI’s holiday collection from 2018: “Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms”. I bought two polishes from that collection, and I showed you “Berry Fairy Fun” yesterday.

The formula is a bit on the sheer side. I used three coats for my manicure. If I wasn’t a nail blogger with a camera that picks up every little imperfection I probably would have used two coats. I can see on the pictures that the third coat made a big difference. The drying time is good.

The stamp is from Moyou London’s stamping plate “Princess Collection-14” and I stamped with a stamping polish from KADS.

I topped the whole thing with a layer of topcoat and photographed it with flash to show off the lovely sparkly holo.

Here’s the whole thing, including a layer of topcoat.

This is the same thing photographed in ordinary daylight on an overcast day.

This is “Tinker, Thinker, Winker” alone. This is three coats and no topcoat yet. The photo is taken with flash.
