Rival de Loop Gel Look ~ Silvervibes


Rival de Loop Gel Look ~ Silvervibes
Silver foil with silver sparks

Rival de Loop makes some pretty cool polishes and "Silvervibes" is no exception. It's a super shiny silver foil and the formula is amazing. The polish glides on in two really easy and super fast drying coats.

I used it as a base for a brush stroke nail art. I used a red and a blue from China Glaze. The red is called "The More The Berrier" and the blue is called "Blue Bells Ring".

I topped the whole thing with a glitter topper from OPI called "Desperately Seeking Sequins".

Here's the final result:

I think this is super pretty.

And here's "Silvervibes" alone; two coats and no topcoat.

Enchanted Polish ~ Rare Magic


Enchanted Polish ~ Rare Magic
Described as: purple with gold/copper (in some angles silver/blue) color shift

Today's polish is really spectacular - I don't think I have anything that's just remotely like it in my collection.

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

I decorated my nails with feathery nail stickers in matching colours. Then I topped it all with topcoat and my manicure was done.

Here's the final result - photographed with flash.

The same thing without flash.

Masura ~ Clary Sage


Masura ~ Clary Sage
Rich lilac scattered holographic nail polish with delicate pink shimmer

The formula of this beauty is really good. I used two super easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is good too.

I made dots on my nails, in a design that I've really come to like. I used three stamping polishes from Colors by Llarowe for that: The Heart Bleeds, Turq'd and Sparkling Diamonds.

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat. This first photo is taken with flash to show off the holographic goodness of all four polishes.

And here's "Clary Sage" alone; two coats and no topcoat yet. This is photographed with flash. It also makes the pink shimmer show itself.

This is the last polish in the Sesame Street 2019 Holiday Collection, which is a collection of 12 polishes. There are links to each polish by the end of each of the posts.

Today I'm showing you "50 Shimmering Years", a gorgeous rose gold glitter polish.

I used two easy coats for my nails today and the drying time is really good. I topped it with topcoat and then I added purple foil to it.

This is the end result, including an additional layer of topcoat to seal it all up.
