NYX and friends ~ Another
layering experience
I like layering polishes to achieve new looks. I think t’s really fun to
rummage through the polishes to find some that go well together. Let’s see how
well it went today, shall we?
I started out with NYX Woman, a lovely dark red with microshimmer. It’s
a really beautiful polish. I love the colour and the effect! Great formula,
good drying time, no worries to report at all.
Here’s two coats and no topcoat:
Is it a wonder that I love this so much?
Next step: I applied a layer of Too Fancy Lacquer “Summer Flames”. It’s
a neon Pink holographic, exclusively made for Edgy Polish. The formula is a bit thick,
but that’s perfect for my purpose. So: One layer on each nail, and then I
dapped some of it off again with cling film. That gave a pretty cool effect,
take a look:

I wanted to bring it a bit more together, so I applied a layer of
Catrice’s “Holo Qué Tal?” from the old and now disconnected Million Styles
collection. It’s a topper that adds a lovely pink shimmer to any mani. Here’s
that step:
I love the look of that!
Last step was to holofy it all, yay! I applied a layer of my favourite
holo topper from Ellagee, “Rainbow Syrup” (nice name, b t w). And here’s my
final mani:
I absolutely love the way this turned out!
Do you ever layer your polishes like this?
I like the effect you created - Woman is a very pretty polish - and so is Summer Flames of course...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think it's fun to try and create new looks by combining the pretties :)
DeleteIt looks very well - the NYX is so feminine :)
ReplyDeleteIt is! Thank you, I'm glad you like it :)
DeletePretty colour and I like the shimmer. But wow the final look :-O super awesome :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you think so too, because I really like it :)
DeleteI like the outcome of your layering! I am really afraid of layering because afterwards I often have a feeling I should have used another base color...
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I understand that, and I do sometimes end up with horrifying results :D
DeleteThat low light picture really does show how good this one is
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it! I really like how this turned out! :)
DeleteYou always do really creative layering Mani's . This one is no exception. I never. would have thought to do that with the holo. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I sometimes fail in my layering too - it's not always that it looks as good on the nails as it did in my head, haha! But I appreciate the kind words, thank you!! :)
DeleteWow, I love that effect!! Nice holofying too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is so nice to hear, because I really liked it too :)
