Femme Fatale ~ Pearl Droplets

First of all: 

I wish you all a very happy new year! 

I hope that you made it safely into 2020!

Today's polish is:


Femme Fatale ~ Pearl Droplets

Described as sheer cool-toned pink base packed with red-shifting iridescent glitters, fine holographic shimmers and a super soft blue glow

"Pearl Droplets" is a store exclusive to Hypnotic Polish.

The formula is sheer but my short nails only required two coats for full opacity. The drying time was pretty good.

I made stripes and dots on it with red, glitter and white.

Here's what that looked like:

This polish is quite "soft". That's why I added the red and the glitter :D

I quite like the design here.

Here are the polishes I used. OPI: The Thrill of Brazil and Glitter To My Heart, El Corazón: 418/1 and Femme Fatale: Pearl Droplets.

OPI: The Thrill of Brazil and Glitter To My Heart, El Corazón: 418/1
and Femme Fatale: Pearl Droplets

The colour of "Pearl Droplets" is sweet but it looks as if all the added extra shimmers, glitters and glow drown a bit in the polish.

Number of coats: 2 (3 for longer nails)
Drying time: Good

Finish: Glitter, shimmer
Overall impression: Sweet colour, formula is sheer and effect isn't as effective as it could have been

Tonic Polish ~ I Had The Times Square Of My Life

Tonic Polish ~ I Had The Times Square Of My Life

A rainbow of multichrome flakes and ultra holo micro glitters

Today’s polish was a store exclusive made back in spring 2017. It’s an amazing glittery polish inspired by the the iconic ball drop in Times Square in New York on New Year’s Eve.

The formula is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time was really good.

The stamp is from the plate ZJOY-Plus009 and I stamped with an ordinary black stamping polish from BornPrettyStore.

Here’s the final result including topcoat.

This is the same thing in the lightbox to show off the flakies more.

And here’s ”I Had The Times Square Of My Life” alone; two coats and no topcoat yet.

Red toned purple linear holo

Today’s polish has been sitting in the box on untrieds for two years now and that’s a shame. It’s the perfect red toned purple ever, the formula is great and the rainbows are mesmerizing.

The formula is perfect, not too thin and not too thick. I used one single coat for full opacity and the drying time is good.

I made a stripe of holo silver microglitter across each nail with a sponge and attached a couple of little silver stars by the top of the stripe. I made a dot with the silver holo glitter by the base of each nail. I used H & M’s “Standing Ovation” for that as well as the stripe across.

Here’s the final manicure, including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in daylight, and this is ONE coat of polish, dear ladies!

This is the same thing photographed with flash.

And here’s “Nail Mail” alone, one coat and no topcoat. I love the rainbows!
