Lustré ~ Blue Sky

Lustré ~ Blue Sky

Cobalt blue shimmer

Blue Sky is exclusively made for Edgy polish. I showed you another Lustré earlier today, namely Silk Sheen, click here to see it if you missed it.

I didn’t experience any problems with the formula and the drying time is good. I was almost satisfied after two coats, but I knew that I was going to take some pictures with flash, so I applied a third coat just to make sure it looked its best. For normal non-blogging purposes I’d only use two coats though.

So take a look at three coats and no topcoat in my lightbox first:

The bottle suggests that there’s a purple shimmer in the polish, but that doesn’t transfer onto the nails at all.

Here’s a flash picture of the same thing. Isn’t the colour just pretty? I love the shimmer in it.

I love this!

I promised you in the post earlier today to test if Silky Sheen stamps. I was really excited to find out that it does! I used a stamping plate called BP-25 for this swirly design.

Here are the pretty sisters:

Verdict:

Blue Sky is a really nice blue shimmer. Easy to apply and as I said, for everyday use two coats is enough. I like the quality and the drying time and it’s probably not my last Lustré polish.

Number of coats: 2 (I used 3 for the swatches)
Drying time: Good

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Such a pretty blue shimmer. Good quality and drying time.

Lustré ~ Silk Sheen

Lustré ~ Silk Sheen

Soft golden shimmer

Silk Sheen is exclusively made for Edgy polish. It’s my first Lustré, so stay tuned and see how that went.

The formula is good and easy to apply and this is almost a one coater. I applied two and it did made a difference, so I’ll recommend two coats. Silk Sheen is described as a shimmer, but I think it’s more a metallic. That means it’s a little bit prone to brush strokes, but a thin layer of Poshé topcoat also made quite a difference in that respect. The drying time is good, no problems to report in that department either.

So allow me to show you two coats and a layer of topcoat:

My camera picks up every little detail unseen by the human eye; in real life I don’t see brush strokes at all!

One last shot:

I made some stripes and dots on it with another Lustré: Blue Sky. I also received that for a review and will come back to that later on today.

Here’s my final mani:

I’m definitely going to try and make red nail art on Silk Sheen too!

Verdict:

I’m impressed by the formula and by the fact that this almost covers in one coat. When I try on the “Blue Sky” later today, I’m going to try and stamp with this to see if it works for that also.

To be honest I would not have picked this colour myself; I’m much more into silver than to gold. I was so surprised to find that I really like this on me. Perhaps it’s the softness of the gold that does that it doesn’t clash with my skin tone.

So big thumbs up from me – this is a winner!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Metallic
Overall impression: Good quality polish, good coverage and drying time – and I think this colour would look good on pretty much everybody!
