Love Thy Polish ~ Smurf’s got the Blues

Love Thy Polish ~ Smurf’s got the Blues

Blue linear holo

I’m not done with blue holos yet :D Today I’m going to show you another one, namely Smurf’s got the blues.

The formula is good and I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time between the coats is good.

This is what two coats and no topcoat look like taken with flash:

Then the sun came out! I love it when that happens so I rushed out with the camera to take this picture:

This is what the polish looks like in low lights.

I stamped on it. There’s a water marble-y motif of the hehe 040 stamping plate that I’ve been wanting to use forever, and it actually took a month and a half from I ordered it until it finally arrived. I stamped with El Corazón’s stamping polish “Gray”, which is, yeah well, grey :D

This is my final mani including a layer of topcoat, and the picture is taken in the sunshine on a beautiful day.

Love Thy Polish is an Australian indie brand. Unfortunately, the company has shut down so you have to be lucky to find pretties like this one. Blog sales are probably the best places to look.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Cool colour and rainbows, nice quality polish

Buy again: Yes

Love Thy Polish ~ Green Eyed Monster

I was in the mood for something bright, and my eyes laid on KBShimmer’s It’s Razz-ical! It’s a red-violet jelly with holographic hex glitters in magenta, silver and pink.

The formula seem a bit on the thin side but it’s still easy to apply and it’s super pigmented, so it only takes two coats to make it opaque. Drying time between the coats is on the fast side. It dries up a little bit dull, but a layer of topcoat makes it all glittery and shiny, so that’s definitely recommendable!

Here’s what two coats and a layer of Ellagee’s topcoat Glass look like.

Isn’t that just pretty?

This picture is taken with flash. It’s Razz-ical can be really loud, and I love that!

I had stamping in mind but I changed my mind last minute. I pulled out another untried, Love Thy Polish “Green Eyed Monster”, which is described as a deep green holo. It’s deep and holo alright, but it looks blue to me. Anyway – I used craft scissors to make a pattern in my tape, and then taped my nails vertically, two thirds of the way in. I painted the last third with Green Eyed Monster and removed the tape right after applying the polish. I sealed the whole thing up with another layer of Ellagee’s Glass, and here’s my final mani:

See? The Green Eyed Monster is blue :D

The last two pics are taken with flash to show off the amazing holo in Love Thy Polish.

This turned out really well – I’m totally satisfied with it. I love it when that happens! :)

Cherry red jelly with holographic microglitter

This is my first polish from Love Thy Polish from Australia.

The formula is good for a jelly, it’s easy to work with and the drying time is average. It takes three coats to get rid of visible nail line. I almost stopped after the second coat, but I can’t recommend to do that, since the third coat makes a huge difference!

I applied a layer of Ellagee’s topcoat Glass, and here’s how squishy and delicious the polish looks:

I think Girly Girl is the perfect name for this polish!

Is that delicious looking, or what??

Let’s add some dots, shall we? I made a line of silver holo dots down the middle with Urban Outfitters’ Silver Holo, and two lines of smaller purple dots on each side of the silver dots with Golden Rose Matte Velvet #107. I topped it with another layer of Ellagee’s topcoat Glass, and here’s my final mani:

I like the simplicity and the colours of this mani.

This polish is extremely pretty, but I’m not sure it’s really me. I’m sure that this is just perfect if you want to make glitter sandwiches, but that’s not how I roll, if you know what I mean.

So thumbs up for this polish, it’s a good polish, but I’m going to have to say no to buying it again.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average

Finish: Squishy jelly

Overall impression: Really sweet polish, the name suits it perfectly!

Buy again: No
