Spell Polish ~ Turn off the lights and I’ll glow

Spell Polish ~ Turn off the lights and I’ll glow

Neon green glow in the dark

Here’s the other Spell Polish I received in my latest monthly package from Norway Nails. It’s so much different than Troll that I showed you in this post.

The formula is gloopy but not difficult to apply anyway. It dries a little bit faster than average. At first I thought it dried fast, but don’t let the dry looking surface fool you like it fooled me! I wasn’t content before I had applied three coats. The polish dries up semi matte, but I needed to apply a layer of topcoat to smooth out the little irregularities I had. Oh, and I have to mention the smell too – it smells odd. Not bad, just odd.

So here’s what three coats and a layer of Essence Top Sealer looks like in the sun:

It was way more neon in real life, but it got too much for the camera! :D

Here’s a picture from my lightbox. That shows the neon just a little bit better.

And! This polish glows under UV light. I haven’t got any UV-lamps though so I couldn’t take a picture of that. But it’s also a glow in the dark-polish, so I obviously tested that out.

It’s my first attempt to take pictures of a nail polish in the dark, so please bear with me, okay? Here it is: 

Here's the matching card, that came with the polish: 

The glow in the dark effect is not going to keep you awake at night, but it’s cool that it’s there.

                                        

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average

Finish: Neon that glows in the dark and under UV-lights
Overall impression: I love the colour and I’d wear it just for that. Forget about the glow in the dark, that’s not this polish’s greatest feature

The last two from my grab bag

Here are the last two polishes from the grab bag I bought.

The first one for now is Caliente, which is a clear base with red glitters, hexes, microglitters – and some pink microglitter and more that I can’t put my finger on, so to speak.

I decided to layer it over white. Two coats of OPI’s recent “Angel with a Leadfoot” from the Mustang collection, and then just one layer of Caliente. I didn’t fish for the glitter – I dipped once in the bottle for each nail, no more than that.

And I dig this over white, much more than I thought I would!

Here’s one layer over white, and one layer of Poshé topcoat:

I love the addition of multisized glitter in this!

One last shot:

Verdict:

I found out after I took this off that Caliente actually glows in the dark! Bummer that I didn’t know that before I actually took the polish off!

But all in all I really like this polish – it’s got a nice mix of red glitters in various sizes and shapes, and red is always nice!

Next one up is Ms. Monster Esq., which is a green tinted base packed with glitters: I see red, purple and green glitters, white, pale green and black hexes, white squares and… perhaps even more :D

I layered it over a dark shimmery polish from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri-line: Jumpin’ Jade.

As always: One dip in the glitter per nail. I topped my mani with topcoat, and here’s what Ms. Monster Esq. looks like:

I did dab the glitter around a bit in order to get some of the larger bits spread out more, but it wasn’t a hassle to layer this polish.

The biggest surprise was to find out that some of the hexes are actually pale green and not just white. Score!

Verdict:

I think I’ll be using this for Christmas manis – the red, green and white reminds me of Christmas.
