Golden Rose Paris: #313
Dark shimmery magenta

Golden Rose #313 from the Paris series has been with me for over ten years. And it has indeed been more than ten years since I wore it last, namely in September 2012. The polish has evaporated quite a bit but the formula is still very good and easy to work with. I didn’t need to apply any thinner to the polish before I painted my nails.

So – two easy coats was what it took. The drying time was quite slow. I didn’t note anything about the drying time last time I wore this, so I don’t know if it has always been drying slowly or if it’s time that has affected the drying time.

It was late evening when I painted my nails and I wasn’t really in the mood to make nail art. So I left it like this:

China Glaze: Make An Entrance
Dark pink crème

I have been wearing polish with crème formula for over a week now and it begins to sound a bit hollow when I say that I prefer shimmers/holos/duochromes/other finishes. Fact is that I prefer shimmers, but sometimes I see crèmes that are so gorgeous that I’m willing to forgive that they aren’t shimmers. “Make An Entrance” is such a polish.

The formula is no less than amazing and the polish glide on like butter. The coverage is also super good and the polish covered in one single coat. I applied two coats because I prefer to do so, but trust me, it’s easy to get away with one coat. The drying time is also very good.

I stamped a flower by the base of each nail. The flower is from the stamping plate “OMQ-08”. I stamped with Essence’s plain white polish “Just White”.

This is the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

Isn’t that just pretty? I considered to add some glitter but kept it like this.

Here’s “Make An Entrance” alone; two coats and no topcoat yet.
