Polished For Days: Long Live The King

Polished For Days: Long Live The King
Described as a bright red leaning coral jelly nail polish packed with micro flakes that sparkle in orange, gold, red and pink

"Long Live The King" is from PPU and is originally from September 2019. I bought my bottle in a re-run in July 2020. It's a gorgeous flakie.

I wanted to see how this polish works on its own but also layered. So I applied a red base on all the fingers except for the ring finger. The red base is China Glaze's "Hot Flashes".

I expected the red base to make the flakies pop more but they didn't - I honestly couldn't tell the difference on the nails with and without the red base.

I applied Minnie Mouse-stickers onto it because I love Minnie Mouse.

Here's the final result including topcoat.

I love this.

Here it is without the stickers. It's three coats of "Long Live The King" on the ring finger; and two coats of "Long Live The King" over a red base on the rest of the fingers. This is photographed with topcoat.

I am super impressed by the quality of "Long Live The King". The coverage was good and I love the way the flakies pop even without a coloured base.

Moyra: Suede Effect #505

Moyra: Suede Effect #505
Dark purple matte shimmer

The formula of Moyra's Suede Effect #505 is good and it covers well. It dries super fast so you have to work fast to get a smooth application.

The stamp is from the stamping plate "ZJOY-001". I stamped with Colour Alike's stamping polish "Tainted Love".

I topped it with Top Shelf Lacquer's holo glitter topper "It's Not What You Drink".

Here's the final result under a lamp.
