Color Club ~ Art
of Seduction
Red
microglitter
It’s time for another Color Club polish, yay! This is
also an oldie, but goodie: Art of Seduction is from the Glitter Vixen
collection from Autumn 2009. And no, it hasn’t been sitting in my box of
untrieds since then! :D I bought it recently so it didn’t actually make it to
the box at all!
The formula is like most glitter polishes are: It can
be a bit tricky to get close to the cuticles without actually getting glitter
on the cuticles. I think I managed okay though. Drying time is good. The polish
dries up a bit gritty, and it’s very topcoat- thirsty. I applied one thick coat
of Models Own’s HyperGel gel effect topcoat. You need two coats if you want a
smooth, shiny surface.
Here’s two coats of Art of Seduction and one coat of
gel effect topcoat:
I was eager to try out a new stamping plate I bought:
BundleMonster’s BM-XL210. It’s a stamping plate with water marble motifs.
I stamped with a black stamping polish and applied
another layer of gel effect topcoat. That second coat made everything super
smooth and shiny, take a look at my final mani:
One last picture. I really like black and red
together.
Here are the polishes I used:
I love the red glitter and cannot understand how I can
have possibly kept missing it. It is right up my alley! I am a bit disappointed
in the stamping plate. I used the absolute centre of the motif that is the only
part of it that makes sense on my nails. I was not impressed by the pattern on
my pinkie and my pointer to be honest. I might have to let that plate go at
some point. I just need to try out a few of the other motifs first. There’s one
with a row of hearts that look really promising, but we will see :)

I like the idea and color combo - it's both beautiful and vampy!
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice to hear. I love red and black together :)
DeletePretty with the stamping!
ReplyDeleteLove the color but it looks too gritty for me.
ReplyDeleteIt does take two layers of topcoat to make all grittiness disappear, but I think it is totally worth it :D
DeleteGorgeous glitter! Love it stamped :)
