Emily de Molly ~ Seeing Red
Magenta-ish red linear holographic
I showed you my first Emily de Molly just
yesterday, and I’m really eager to show you the other holo I bought, namely
“Seeing Red”. It’s described as “red with grey undertones, not a true red”.
It’s not a true red for sure, but to me the undertones are magenta or pink, and
in low light this polish shows red and pink.
But anyway – you’ll see for yourself soon!
I’ll have to tell you about the formula first though: It’s just as great as her
sister Indigo Flow; the polish just glides right on. No aqua basecoat is
needed, I just used my regular basecoat. No dragging. No bald spots. Just perfection
on my nails! That makes me very happy! The polish dries fast too! Let me get to
the point! Here’s a pic of two coats, no topcoat:
That seriously makes me go “oooooh!”. And
"aaaaah".
Can you see both the red and the magenta/pink
in this polish, or is it just me?
Let me try from a different angle:
I love that this polish doesn’t have the coral
tone that I dread so much! I love my holos, but the coral ones can’t live here.
They just don’t belong :D
I didn’t quite know what to do with it. I didn’t want to stamp again – so I ended up with a very simple dotticure: Four dots in alternate sizes down each nail. I used a Milani polish called “Silver Dazzle”, which is a charcoal one coat glitter. I haven’t tried it for a full mani yet. But here it is on “Seeing Red”:
First I regretted not doing something cooler,
but seriously, I like dots a lot.
Is this another winner from Emily de Molly, I
hear you ask. The answer is yes. This polish definitely gets to stay in my
stash <happy grin>

ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm seriously happy to hear that :)
DeleteI love it with dots too! :)
ReplyDeleteDots usually make a mani more interesting in my opinion, so I agree with you :)
DeleteI'm not a red lover, but this holo is SOOOO PRETTY! It looks really great on you :)
ReplyDeleteI am SO pleased to hear that, thank you so much!!! :)
DeleteI think the dots made this manicure. A bit to bright red for my taste. Dotting tools are the one nailart thing I couldn't live without :)
ReplyDeleteI love my dotting tools too :) I like bright colours - so this is my kind of polish for sure :)
DeleteIt's a really pretty holo! Nam nam :D
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, nam nam is a fantastic expression for this :D
DeleteVery pretty color!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteI think the colour is lovely even though it's not a true red. The nail art is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's very difficult to find a true red holo, isn't it :)
DeleteAnd thank you, It's so nice to hear that :)
I do believe I need to try this brand!
