Tonic Polish ~ High Tide


Tonic Polish ~ High Tide
Sky blue with green to pink shifting shimmer

"High Tide" is from Tonic's Spring Neon collection from Spring 2019.

The formula is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time was really good.

I decided to match it with two other blue polishes: Kiko #100 and Essence's "Holo Rocks".

I didn't use tape, I just applied the dark blue Kiko over approximately one third of the nail and then I made a blue glitter stripe with the Essence.

Here's the final manicure including topcoat.

I really like these polishes together.

I'm not sure I agree that "High Tide" is particularly neon, but it's pretty nonetheless. The shimmer is really pretty.

Tonic Polish ~ Glowy Joe


Tonic Polish ~ Glowy Joe
Neon yellow/green nail polish with pink shimmer

"Glowy Joe" is from Tonic's Spring Neon collection from Spring 2019.

The formula is good and I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time was really good. Yellows are known to be difficult to work with but I had no issues with "Glowy Joe".

I made it into a nail vinyl manicure. I chose a design with big dots and made it into a gradient with an orange and a red stamping polish from El Corazón ("Orange Neon" and "Red").

I topped with the holo glitter topper "Northern Lights" from Out The Door.

This is the end result:


I think this is adorable!

Tonic Polish ~ Dance Magic, Dance


Tonic Polish ~ Dance Magic, Dance
Purple linear holo

"Dance Magic, Dance" is from Tonic's Spring Neon collection from Spring 2019.

The formula is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time was really good.

The stamp is from the stamping plate "ZJOY-plus0016" and I stamped with El Corazón's stamping polish "Restless Night". This is what it ended up looking like, including topcoat.

Moyra ~ #807 and #998 Elise


Moyra ~ #807 and #998 Elise
Turquoise shimmer and white/silver glitter

Today I'm wearing two polishes from Moyra. I bought both of them in Hungary.

The base colour is #807, an amazing turquoise shimmer. The formula is a little bit sheer and prone to dragging. I used three coats today to cover up all irregularities. The drying time is good.

I applied a layer of the glitter, #998 Elise.

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

Moyra #807 has a slight duochrome effect but I didn't notice that much on the nails. I really like the polish anyway because the colour is so pretty and the shimmer is gorgeous!

Drying time: Good
Finish: Strong shimmer
Overall impression: Great colour and shimmer. I can live with the three coats because the pretty end result
