Smitten Polish ~ SP2014 21

Lavender purple linear holo

The polish I'm wearing today is a really gorgeous dark lavender linear holo. The formula is great and the polish covers well. I used two coats for my nails today and the drying time is really good.

I made to glittery lines on each nails with Essence's "Holo Fever". Then I attached a pretty little butterfly by the base of each nail.

Here's the final result including topcoat. This photo is taken with flash.

Here's "SP2014 21" on its own; two coats and no topcoat yet. The photo is taken with flash.

Grass green with holo microglitter

Today's polish is a lovely green microglitter. The formula seems a bit thin but the coverage is still good - I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good. The polish dries flat.

I usually make some kind of floral nail art on greens like one. I decided to try and go for something else today: Pandas! The pandas are water decals and they were so easy to work with.

This is all topped with a layer of topcoat.

Sky blue linear holo with microglitter

Today I'm wearing a super pretty blue prototype from Smitten polish. I bought it in a blog sale recently - it amazing that pretty polishes like this one are even being resold!

The formula is really good and I used two fast drying coats for full opacity. The polish dries up completely flat, nothing sticks up from the nails.

I decorated my nails with wintery water decals. I have come to like water decals a lot because it's such an easy way to get really pretty decorations on the nails.

Here's the final result including topcoat. This first photo is taken with flash to show off the holo goodness.

And here's Proto 34 alone; two coats and no topcoat yet. Isn't that just a lovely polish?!

Light blue jelly with holo microglitter

Jack Frost is from the Smitten Polish Winter/Holiday 2014 Collection. I bought it in a blog sale recently. And yes, I stumbled over two different blog sales recently and allowed myself to shop a bit. It’s been ages since I saw a good blog sale so this was just two great opportunities.

The formula is good and covers in two easy coats. The drying time is good too and the polish dries up flat and the glitter makes no bumps.

The stamp is from Born Pretty Store’s stamping plate “Geometry BP-X17” and I stamped with Colour Alike’s stamping polish “B. a Rainy Mood”.

This is the final manicure, including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken with flash.

Here’s the same thing taken in ordinary daylight, no sun. The holo microglitter is stunningly beautiful.

This is Jack Frost alone; two coats and no topcoat. The photo is taken with flash.

The stuff I used:

Jack Frost is a really pretty polish, I like it a lot – and I was happy to find it in a blog sale.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Jelly with holo microglitter
Overall impression: Smitten makes great holo microglitters and this is no exception.
