Ellagee ~ Heebee GEEbee
Pumpkin
Orange scattered holo
Heebee GEEbee Pumpkin is a Facebook fangroup exclusive, it was limited
edition and can no longer be bought, sorry about that. When I saw it first I
knew it would never be my favourite Ellagee polish, but I’m a sucker for
exclusives and limited editions, so there you have it. The polish was made in
two versions: One pure orange, such as I bought, and the same orange with black
glitter in it. I didn’t like the look of the black glitter and was thrilled when
it was offered without it.
Anyway, back to the polish. The formula is good and easy to apply. I
wasn’t very careful with application though so I had to use three coats before
I was satisfied. On a good day I’d say that two coats is enough. Drying time is
okay. I applied a layer of topcoat before I took my pictures.
Here’s three coats and a layer of topcoat – the picture is taken in the
sunshine.
I like the way the polish glows in the sun.
I mean – look at this:
I’ll show you why this won’t ever be one of my favourite Ellagees.
Here’s what it looks like in ordinary daylight:
See? Bear in mind that I’m not an autumn-colour kinda gal, then you’ll
probably understand what I mean. It’s nice, but it’s not really my hue. I love
it nonetheless because it’s special! ♥
Anyway – I tried to make some nail art on it, but failed. I have seen
some really cool sponging on other blogs – where girls take a bit of sponge and
dab polish on while holding the sponge with tweezers, but that really isn’t as
easy as it looks. I failed miserably and removed the whole thing before even
finishing :D
Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Okay
Drying time: Okay
Finish: Scattered holo
Overall impression: I like
the quality of Ellagee’s polishes as a rule.
Buy again: Yes – because
it’s a special. Not if it was in the core line of polishes
I know it's not really your hue but it looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, thank you! :)
DeleteYeah, it suits you. It really has something from a pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteThank you - you're right, it has :)
DeleteYou have become quite an Ellagee collector ;)
ReplyDeleteI have! I really like the polishes she makes :)
DeleteI like a delicate shade of orange like this one.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is definitely more you than me, this shade :)
DeleteIt may not be a you polish but it's stunning in the sun. It would be lovely if we could all sit around in the sun all day, shame we can't.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly a shame. I wish the period of time where we don't see the sun here wasn't so long :)
DeleteIt's not really my sorta colour but the sparkles are nice :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I agree, they are :)
DeleteThat's a lovely sparkly finish
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad to hear it :)
