OPI ~ Many Celebrations To Go

OPI ~ Many Celebrations To Go

Champagne gold shimmer

"Many Celebrations To Go" is from OPI's Hello Kitty Holiday 2019 collection. It's a really pretty champagne gold shimmer.

The formula seems a little bit sheer but builds up to full opacity in two easy and fast drying coats.

I added some black nail stickers onto it. This pretty polish called for something simple and I really like gold and black together.

I topped it all with a holo glitter from QRS called "Glittering Rainbow", because even shimmer is prettier with glitter on top, hahaha!

This is my final result.

I must admit that I find this adorable.

This is "Many Celebrations To Go" alone, two coats and no topcoat. I think this is a very pretty colour.

Stamping polish "Wondering" from Born Pretty Store

Stamping polish "Wondering" from Born Pretty Store

Born Pretty Store has sent me some beautiful neon stamping polishes to try out in return for an honest review. This is the last one I'm reviewing for now.

The stamping polish that I'm using today is called “Wondering”. It's a bright neon red stamping polish. I decided to stamp it over a bright yellow polish from Essence topped with a glitter from QRS: "Glittering Rainbow".

Here is the link to the stamping polish:

I'm using an old stamping plate called “BP-L005”.

Let me show you the final result.

"Wondering" has not got the typical formula of a stamping polish from Born Pretty Store. It seems more of a jelly and it definitely doesn't stamp over dark colours. It looks nice over a light colour though.

Here are the things I used to do my nails today. The base colour is Essence's  "Mrs. Brightside" topped with QRS' "Glittering Rainbow".

This is "Mrs. Brightside" topped with "Glittering Rainbow" before the stamping.

The verdict:

Pros:

Nice colour

Cons:

It's a jelly that doesn't stamp over dark colours

This is one of the few stamping polishes from BPS that I'm not super thrilled with

Essence ~ Ultra Violet

Essence ~ Ultra Violet

Purple with pink shimmer

Today I’m going to show you a gorgeous purple polish. The formula is great and so is the coverage. I used two really easy coats for my manicure and the drying time was good.

I wanted to keep it simple so I brushed glitter by the base of each nail. I used QRS “Glittering Rainbow” as my glitter polish. It’s a simple holo microglitter in a clear base. It’s similar to “Northern Lights” from Out the Door, the drying time is just less amazing in the QRS version.

Anyway, here’s the end result, including a layer of topcoat.

Essence ~ Ultra Violet

Isn’t that just a gorgeous polish?

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: I love everything about this polish!

Models Own ~ Heart Red

Models Own ~ Heart Red

Bright red with diamond dust golden shimmer

It’s time for a brand that doesn’t get much love in the blogging world at the moment: Models Own. I bought “Heart Red” a long time ago. It’s a gorgeous bright red with some seriously pretty shimmer.

The formula is really good and coverage too. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time was really good. What a great polish this is.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “Celebration BPX-L014” from BornPrettyStore. I stamped with El Corazón’s stamping polish “Black”.

I applied a layer of holo glitter over it all. I used “Glittering Rainbow” from QRS as my topper.

Here’s my manicure of the day. It is photographed with flash.

This is the same thing in my lightbox.

This is “Heart Red” on its own; two coats and no topcoat yet. It’s a really beautiful polish. I do have a soft spot for glittery reds.

These are the things I used to do my nails today.

Models Own: Heart Red; El Corazón: Black; QRS: Glittering Rainbow

Number of coats: 2
