Walking Down Memory Lane with Sephora Formula X: Pedal To The Metal
Red toned purple shimmer

I bought Pedal To The Metal in the States in 2013! In fact I bought a whole lot of polishes when I was in the US. The number of available pretties there was amazing and I brought home a lot of polish. I swatched this beautiful purple polish in 2014 and found out that it actually water marbles the year after! It was part of my first successful watermarbling and I was so impressed! (link to the post here: http://rainbowifyme.blogspot.com/2015/06/zoyasephora-xsavina-watermarble.html)

Sephoras polishes were so much cheaper than they are where I live, and I bought a big bunch of them.

The formula is great and it covers well. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time was really good.

I added a bit of glitter by the base of each nail. The glitter is NYX’s “Spot Light”.

This is the final result:

Look how pretty it is.

This is “Pedal To The Metal” alone; two coats and no topcoat.

Quixotic Polish: Dancing Sugar Plums
A purple base packed with pink-yellow-green iridescent shimmer and holo flakes.

"Dancing Sugar Plums" is part of the group custom "For The Love Of Polish" for December 2020. December's  theme was "Winter Wonderland".

 

The formula is great! I used two super easy coats for my manicure today. The drying time was really good too.

I didn't want to cover this beautiful polish up - at least not too much. So I added a star by the base of each nail. The stars came from NYX's polish "Dreamy Glitter".

I applied a layer of topcoat on top of it all and here's the final result photographed under a lamp.
