Lacquer ~ Ashes to Ashes
Grey linear
holo
Ashes to Ashes has been living in a box along with
some other untried polishes. I don’t wear grey polishes much so I’ve decided to
try and get through the polishes that has been sitting in the box for a long
time. If I like them then they go live in the Helmer. If I don’t like them
enough, then I’ll find them a better home where they are appreciated more.
The formula is really good and so is the coverage. I
used two easy coats for my mani and the drying time is really good.
Here’s two coats and a layer of topcoat taken in the
sunshine:
This picture is taken in the shade. There’s a really
pretty shimmer showing up, I like that.
I stamped it with another unusual colour for me. The
stamping polish is from El Corazón and is called Apple Flower. The motif is
from Marianne Nails No. 119. There’s a layer of Northern Lights Out the Door
holo glitter topcoat over it all.
This is my final mani:
I used my clear stamper for this. I bought it from
ebay and it was really cheap. It’s bigger than my old clear stamper and it’s
really good. I’m impressed with the quality.
I actually quite like this colour combo!

Buy again: Probably
not, but I’ll keep it anyway
I like this unusual stamping mani - I also try to do those from time to time, and I often end up liking them...
ReplyDeleteIt's also nice to step outside the comfort zone once in a while :)
DeleteI prefer it with the stamping because the combo is surprising yet good!
ReplyDeleteI think I do too :)
DeleteAw, that's a very nice colour and looks quite interesting with the stamping :)
