Vivian Kondor ~ Purple Glitter

Blue jelly with blue and purple microglitter

I showed you “Neon Green” from Vivian Kondor yesterday. This is a new brand to me, and since I hardly ever buy polishes in uneven numbers, I also bought one of her sisters: Purple Glitter. Inventive names, huh?

I used three coats for my mani. If I wasn’t a nail blogger, I probably would have stopped after two coats, but my camera has a tendency of picking up every little imperfection invisible for the human eye. So three coats it was! Drying time was on the slow side.

Here’s three coats and no topcoat:

I think it’s quite pretty. I stamped on it. The motif is from Moyou London’s stamping plate Illusion Collection-01 and I stamped with El Corazón’s stamping polish Blue Neon.

Here’s the final mani including a layer of topcoat:

Have you ever heard about this brand before? I haven’t. I can’t imagine buying more of them either :)

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Relatively slow

Finish: Jelly with micro glitter
Overall impression: I like the mix of glitters in this polish. I’m not crazy about the drying time

Buy again: Probably not

Neon green jelly

I found this neon green polish in my local supermarket really cheap. I have never heard about the brand before, but it appears to be British – it states “London” on the front of the bottle. I could see that it was a jelly but I couldn’t resist the beautiful green so I decided to give it a go since it was really cheap.

I have been considering making a pond mani for a while, and I thought this was a good opportunity. I started out with a couple of white dots on bare nails and then I applied a layer of polish. Then another couple of white dots, followed by a layer of jelly. This polish is opaque after three coats, but I applied four to get dots all over my nails.

Here’s my final mani. Four coats plus dots, and a layer of topcoat:

The depth of my little pond is not impressive, but I quite like this anyway.

I’m quite pleased with my first attempt of a pond mani and I really like the colour of this green. 

Number of coats: 4, but it covers in 3
Drying time: Okay

Finish: Jelly
Overall impression: Bright colour, okay formula, cheap

Buy again: Probably not
