Ninja Polish ~ Candy Cane Floam

Ninja Polish ~ Candy Cane Floam

Red and white matte glitter in a clear base

When I am deciding which polish to wear, I often open my box of untrieds and sit and gaze into it until inspiration hits me. I don’t even always know what colour I’m in the mood for!

Today my eyes suddenly fell onto Candy Cane Floam from Ninja Polish. And right next to her was a burgundy suede from Avon, “No. 502”. They looked like a perfect match, so I thought…why not!

I started out with two coats of the suede Avon. The pigmentation is really good, and if you’re careful you can get away with one coat. I used two. The drying time is fantastic. Once I had finished hand number two, I could pretty much start on hand one again! I like that a lot.

Here’s what two coats and no topcoat look like in daylight:

In the beginning I thought it looked a bit brown, but it’s not. It is a rich burgundy, and I like the effect:

Then I was ready for my nail art. First I stamped on it. I used stamping plate DRK-B and stamped with Essie’s “Nothing else metals”, which is a soft pink that looks perfect on red shades of polish. Then I sponged Candy Cane Floam on the tips of my nails, applied two coats of Poshé topcoat, and my mani was done:

The pictures are taken in daylight, but there was no sun available, unfortunately.

I think it looks as if I dipped my fingertips in sprinkles!!

Here are the sisters in crime:

This mani grew on me; I ended up really liking this. What about you girls, do you like it, or is there too much going on on my nails?

Frankenpolish ~ Cherry Red

Hi girls,

Here’s another Frankenpolish that was under the Christmas tree for me. It’s a Cherry red shimmery beauty, that covered superbly in two coats:

It’s got tiny bits of glitter in it. It’s very subtle though, so you don’t really notice that, when it’s on. All you see is this shimmery red polish, that Alice Snow named “Cherry Red”.

It’s impossible to re-create this beauty, since it’s made from several red and purple polishes, shimmers and glitters.

After having enjoyed the look of it for a day I decided to pimp it with a polish I bought in Hungary. It’s from “Aden Cosmetics” – a brand I’ve never heard of before. It hasn’t got either a name or a number – but it’s a clear base with silver and red glitter in it.

Here’s one coat over the Cherry red:

I quite like that :)
