Ludurana Aurora Bureal ~ Supremo

Ludurana Aurora Bureal ~ Supremo

Lavender ultrastrong linear holo

There was a time, not so long ago, where every other nail polish wasn’t holographic. It was a happy time, there was still glitter and shimmer, and most of us didn’t really know that we were missing something.

At some point Brazil stepped up and started producing the most beautiful holographic polishes. Unfortunately they weren’t that easy to get your hands on. Shipping from Brazil is ridiculously expensive. I was determined that some of the beauties belonged in my stash, and at some point I swapped with two Brazilian girls. I swapped once with one of them, and several times with the other, and beauty after beauty entered my world. I eventually lost contact with both girls, but here’s a happy thought to them both. Love you girls! ♥

I’ll still say that the Brazilian companies did something that not many companies did or do. Their holos are still outstanding!

Let me show you an example. Supremo is lavender and it looks really sheer, which is a shame because the bottle only contains 8ml. But it’s not sheer on the nails, yay! I used two easy coats for desired opacity. The drying time is average.

Put on your sunglasses; here’s two coats and no topcoat in flashlight:

Wow, right?

This is what it looks like in low light.

I stamped on it. I used my favourite motif from Moyou London’s plate Illusion Collection-02, and I stamped with a no name polish called “Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees”. It’s a Chinese copy of OPI’s polish with the same name, but apparently they didn’t know which bottle is OPI and which is Nicole by OPI, so they poured the polish into a NOPI bottle, haha. It’s my favourite purple polish for stamping; I have used up half the bottle by now, and I shall be SO sad when it’s all gone.

Here’s a photo I haven’t cropped as much as usual, so you can see my fake OPI :D

I love this, no less.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Average

Finish: Strong linear holo
Overall impression: I love it! ♥

Buy again: I definitely would!

Ludurana ~ Emocionante

Ludurana ~ Emocionante  

Multichrome that shifts between purple, blue, magenta, golden and probably more that I can’t see

I’m very excited over polishes from Brazil. They seem to only make beautiful polishes – shimmery, shiny, holographic, duochromatic, exactly how I like polishes the most. Let me show you one of my Brazilian polishes so you can see for yourself. But first – a suitable underwear! I went for an Alix Avien polish with the number 244. It’s a dark, squishy purple that I received in a swap with sweet Aylin from Posh Nail Art.

I applied two coats. I would have gone for three if I had been wearing this on its own. It’s almost a jelly, but not quite. What’s the name for that? A crelly? A Jreme? :D

Anyway – squishy is a perfect word for it, and shiny of course too!

Two coats, no top coat:

Then I applied one coat of Ludurana’s “Emocionante”. It’s a multichrome, but I didn’t want to wear it over black. The main colour of this polish is purple, which is why I chose the dark purple as underwear for it. It applies very easily and creates the most amazing colour shifts. I can’t even imagine what this polish must look like in the sun!!

Look at this – it’s one coat over the Alix Avien – and still no top coat:

Then I added some extra bling. I used a striper from Art Deco called “Ice Breaker”. It’s a clear base with several sizes of silver glitter. I made two stripes on each nail. I had to place the glitter… if you only paint a stripe, most of it will be the clear base :D

One coat of Seche Vite top coat, and I was done:

On this picture you can see the colour shift. It shifts from almost bluish purple to a warmer, redder purple and to magenta. It’s an amazing polish indeed.

And here is the bottle shot:

  

I am so impressed with these Brazilian polishes I’ve got, and I find it annoying that it’s such a pain to get my hands on them. Fortunately I’ve found myself a very sweet swap buddy in Brazil, so my need for these pretties can be fulfilled :D

What do you think? Is this pretty or not? Have you got any Brazilian polishes yourself? If yes, which one do you like the best?
