Idol ~ #305

Idol ~ #305

Purple linear holo

Today's polish is a purple linear holographic that I bought off Aliexpress, just like #312 that I showed you yesterday.

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

I made two stripes down each nail with a grey shimmer from Artistic Colour Revolution called "Under the Overalls".

I placed a star shaped sticker over the stripes, applied a layer of topcoat to seal it all up, and then my manicure was done.

Here's the whole thing photographed with flash to show off the beautiful rainbows!

This is the same thing in the sunset.

This is two coats of #305 alone; no topcoat yet. It's photograped in the sunset. I really like this colour!

Red linear holo

Today's polish is a red linear holographic that I bought off Aliexpress.

The formula is good and easy to work with. The polish itself has a really odd smell though, so if you're sensitive to weird smells you might want to give this one a miss. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time was really good.

All I did to it was to add a heart shaped sticker on the ring fingers and the middle fingers. A layer of topcoat finished it all off and here's what it looked like in the sun:

KBshimmer ~ Tall Pink of Water

KBshimmer ~ Tall Pink of Water

Magenta/Purple linear holo

Today I'm wearing a polish that a HHC Facegroup custom from February 2017. It has been 2 years since I wore it last and I thought it was about time that I showed it some love again.

The formula is really good and the drying time is wicked fast. You have to work really fast with this polish and it didn't behave quite as nice as last time I wore it - I think it's because I have a coat of gel basecoat under it. I am still really happy with the quality of the polish though.

The two stripes are stamped on. They're from Lina's stamping plate "Feeling Shapely! 01". I stamped with El Corazón's stamping polish "Orchid".

Here's the final result photographed with flash. There's also a layer of topcoat involved.

I really like both the colours and the rainbows of this.

This is "Tall Pink of Water" alone; two coats and no topcoat. This is taken when the sun was partly behind a big cloud.

Overall impression: I love this polish, it's amazing

OPI ~ Positives Vibes Only

OPI ~ Positives Vibes Only

Neon purple crelly

"Positive Vibes Only" is from OPI's NEON collection from Summer 2019.

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

The polish dried up to a silky matte finish.

I topped it with a glitter topper from Ja-De called "C327". It's a very pretty glitter topper full of iridescent microglitters.

The stamping design is from the stamping plate "BeautyBigBang XL-069". I stamped with El Corazón's "Orchid".

I applied a layer of regular topcoat and this is my final manicure.

I really like this result!

This is "Positive Vibes Only" alone; two coats and no topcoat. I quite like this finish even though I usually prefer shiny polishes and the colour is very pretty.

I love this!

El Corazón ~ Star Baths #423/1186

Green jelly base packed with shimmer and flakies

Here's the last polish I have from the recent Star Baths-collection. It's another lovely polish packed with shimmer and flakies. The Star Baths collection is really pretty and I love all the four polishes I bought!

The formula is good and I used two coats for my manicure. The drying time was average.

I applied nail stickers onto it.

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat.

I really like the way that the stickers match the flakies.
