Darling Diva ~ Anna

Darling Diva ~ Anna

light blue jelly packed with blue and holo glitter

This glitter has been sitting in my stash for a looong time, and that’s a shame, because it has really tried to get my attention. Today is the day. Anna shall not be waiting any more. Let's celebrate that it's the 8th of December, shall we? Norway Nails does that by selling Darling Divas on special. Read more about that at the end of the post!

I reckon the glitter can build up to full opacity but it will take at least 3 coats, maybe even 4. I wasn’t in the mood for that experiment, so I started out with a layer of deep blue shimmer. I used Essence “Hard to Resist”, which is a one coater that dries fast. Win! There’s a picture of that in the end of the post – because for now I want to show you Anna.

The formula is great and the polish is easy to apply. The glitter spreads out effortlessly and the drying time is good. I had a naïve hope that this would be a two coater, but I think I’ll be able to live with layering it ;)

Anyway – enough talk! Here’s what it looked like after the first layer of glitter:

It wasn’t bling-y enough for me though, so I applied another layer, and that helped. Here’s two layers of Essence “Hard to Resist”. There’s no topcoat involved; the glitter dries completely flat:

Here’s a pic that shows some of that holo goodness.

It’s cool, isn’t it?

I still hadn’t had enough though. I went for stamping today! I used a design from Red Angel called RA-103, and I stamped with Color Club’s “Angel Wings”, which is a baby blue linear holo. And here, sweet girls, is the final result:

All the pictures are taken with flash. But it’s full of bling even in low light!

As promised! Here’s one coat of Essence “Hard to Resist”; a beautiful dark blue packed with shimmer.

It’s funny that it’s only when I write this that I recognize that I’ve used two times Angel in my mani: Red Angel stamping plate and Angel Wings holo. Perhaps Anna is an angel too, who knows :)

I am sure that it doesn’t come as a surprise that I really like this polish. Glitter, and hologlitter, and holostamp on top. Yes please!
