Linda Johansen ~ Slow Fox
Denim blue crème with a
hint of dusty grey
Linda Johansen is a Norwegian polish brand-
The formula is no less than great. The polish applies easily and dries with
a very nice shine. It took two easy coats to reach full opacity, and the drying
time between coats was really good too. Exactly how I like it! I must admit
that to start with I was a bit sceptical about the dusty tone that this polish
has, but goshdarn, I must admit that I like this polish, and the way it looks on
me!
Let me show you what I’m talking about! Two coats, no topcoat – and
please note the shine!
This second picture shows more of the dusty side of the polish. I’m so
lucky that I can wear whatever polish I want at work. But if “classical” was
required I’d go for this, because it’s still got an edge even though it can be
used as a formal work appropriate polish!
Don’t you think that the polish suits me? I’m impressed myself!
The pictures are all taken in the sunshine (an increasingly valuable
commodity at this time of year).
I didn’t wear it like this, you must know that already. I dug up another
bottle which I also got from Norway Nails for a review, namely Lynnderella’s
“Aquamarine Calm”. I’ve already shown you that glitter – take a look here
if you’ve forgotten. It’s a mix of various sizes and shapes of blue glitter. I
made a glitter gradient by sponging the glitter on and sealed the whole thing
up with a layer of Poshé topcoat. Now allow me to show you the final result:
The pictures are taken in full sun, so some of the glitters look as if
they’re black. They’re not - it is their very positive reflective qualities
that make them appear like that.
This may be the most colour correct picture. I absolutely think this
works!
One last shot, just because I’m impressed myself, haha!
That was another Linda Johansen polish for you. I know I am impressed,
and that says a lot when we’re talking about a crème polish! This has the
potential to be used as a base for lots of very cool nail art!
What say you? :)
