Summer Sand #5
Light blue
texture with darker blue shimmer
Here’s a mani I made to try out a couple of polishes.
The blue is #5 from Lovely’s Summer Sand collection. The formula is good and so
is the coverage. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is okay.
The polish on my ring finger is “Stir in Sugar” from Cuccio. It’s a white jelly topper with iridescent glitter and textured effect.
I thought it would be a polish that worked on its own, but after three coats it
looked really weird. I topped everything with a layer of topcoat because that
tends to make everything better.
The blue shimmer in #5 doesn’t make a big deal out of
itself on the nails unfortunately. The textured effect isn’t very prominent,
which is a good thing in my opinion :D
I actually tried the Cuccio over a dark colour and it
does overwhelm the underlaying colour quite a lot, but I do like the effect of
it. I’m not quite sure how to actually use that polish.
Number of
coats: 2
Drying time: Okay

Overall impression: I wish the shimmer showed itself more. The colour is pleasant though

It's a sweet mani - and I almost feel like being on the beach on a summer day :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I liked hearing that :)
DeleteI don't have this one... It doesn't show much of the sand, I think...
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't, it's kind of weird actually. I like the colour though :)
DeleteReally nice mani. Does look like quite a subtle texture though! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yes, it is. Almost not really there.
