Tonic Polish
~ Dark purple no named prototype
Blackened
purple with holo dust
Tonic Polish put a bunch of prototypes up for sale
recently and I bought some of them. I love surprises in the shape of grab bags,
but I must admit that I'm beginning to reach a point where I might stop buying
them. My collection of polish is big now and it's really nice to actually pick
the exact polishes you want. We'll see if I stick to that - or if I keep buying
surprise nail mail.
This first prototype is a blackened purple with added
holographic goodness.
The formula is thick but still easy to apply. I used
two coats for my manicure - I think I would have been able to get away with one
coat if I had wanted to. The drying time was good though, so I went with two
coats.
The stamp is from the stamping plate "Nicole
Diary-095". I stamped with Colour Alike's stamping polish "Sweet
Dreams".
Here's the end result, including a layer of topcoat. This
photo is taken with flash.
Here's the same thing outside; with the sun behind a
big cloud.
Here's the Tonic alone; two coats and no topcoat. The
photo is taken in a short flash of sunray.

And here it is photographed with flash in order to
show the holo effect.

These are the things I used today.
This polish is too dark for me to wear on its own. It
would have been way better if the holo effect was in your face :D

Buy again: Nah
I think it's a sweet polish but nothing to special. Good luck with not buying grab bags 😁
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah well, I'm probably going to fail... :D
DeleteGorgeous manicure! <3
ReplyDeleteDare I ask how much polish you have roughly?
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely polish, but looks dark blue on my screen. Nice stamping :-D
I stopped counting at around 600, and that's a LONG time ago. I honestly don't know. I have a big box of shame where the "naughty" polishes go, and those polishes I either sell or give away, depending :)
DeleteI don't have the heart to give away or sell any of mine! ;-)
DeleteIt looks a very dark blue to me too... Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish dark purple from dark blue, maybe it's really a question of screen settings... Anyway, I like it very, very much! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you like it. And yes, the colours can vary on the screen for sure. :)
