Quixotic Polish ~ Be Pine!

Quixotic Polish ~ Be Pine!

A pine green base with a sultry red to green shimmer and gold flakies

"Be Pine!" is part of "For The Love Of Polish"-box for December 2019. It's a really "different" polish; the red shimmer in the green is really unique.

The formula of "Be Pine!" is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time was good.

I dapped a little bit of golden holo glitter on it, and on top of that I placed some flowers on top of the glitter. The flowers are water decals.The holo glitter is from H&M called "Encore".

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat.

I like the way the glitter shows just around the flowers.

This is "Be Pine!" alone; two coats and a layer of topcoat. It's really spectacular with red shimmer in a green base!

Polished for Days ~ Reindeer Crossing

Polished for Days ~ Reindeer Crossing

A blackened base packed with pink to yellow/gold shifting micro flake shimmer

"Reindeer Crossing" is part of "For The Love Of Polish"-box for December 2019.

The formula of "Reindeer Crossing" is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

I wanted a bit of extra effect so I topped it with another Polished For Days-polish; a clear flakie topper with a mix of rainbow iridescent flakes, holographic flakes, and a sprinkling of pink to green iridescent micro flakes. It's called "Supernova".

I stamped stripes on top of it all. I used the stamping plate "BP-L013" and I stamped with a stamping polish from El Corazón called "Bisgue".

This is the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

The polish looks very different under different lightings.

Here's two coats of "Reindeer Crossing" topped with a layer of "Supernova".

Polished for Days: Reindeer Crossing and Supernova

This is "Reindeer Crossing" alone; two coats and no topcoat.

Described as an intense linear holographic with a shifting medium purple/plum base with red-blue-plum shift, red-pink-green shifting flakes, and a vibrant blue to red shifting flame

I was in the mood to wear a beautiful purple holo and "Holiday Magic" was the polish I ended up with.

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

The stamp is from Moyou London's stamping plate "Crystal Collection-04" and I stamped with El Corazón's stamping polish "Bisgue".

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken with flash.

This is the same thing under a lamp.

Here's "Holiday Magic" alone; two coats and no topcoat. The photo is taken under a lamp and the rainbows are still willing to come out and play.
