Spell Polish ~ Adder’s Fork

Spell Polish ~ Adder’s Fork

Burgundy pink linear holo with chrome effect and a splash of pink flakies

My collection of Spell polishes is slowly growing. Today I’m going to try the first holo I’ve got from Spell Polish! I am so curious to see if it’s any good!

The formula is great, the best of the Spells I’ve experienced so far. It covers really well, and it’s almost a one coater. The second coats does make a bit of a difference though, so that’s what I recommend. The drying time is good.

Take a look at what two coats and a thin layer of Poshé topcoat look like:

I’m not sure that I agree that this is a linear holo, but I do like the holo shimmer that’s added. It makes such a pretty rainbow effect!

This is what it looks like in low lights:

I stamped on it. I found a floral motif from Qgirl008 and I stamped with a silver polish from Kiko’s Mirror collection called 616. I topped it with another layer of Poshé topcoat, and here’s my final mani:

I was all “meh” in the beginning, but this mani really grew on me quickly!

KBShimmer ~ Rust No One

KBShimmer ~ Rust No One

Orangy red linear holo

I thought I might as well show you the other KBShimmer I bought from the Autumn 2014 collection, Rust No One. I wasn’t quite sure whether to get this one or not, since the “Rust” in the name made me think of Autumn-y colours, and my skin tone isn’t fantastic with that colour scheme.

But since I’ve recently developed a love for orange polishes I thought I might as well bite the bullet and buy this one as well. Up and Cunning (that I showed you yesterday) was thrilled to be able to travel with her sister, so that’s perfect, really.

Anyway – I went for a Hawaiian mani this time. I know it’s winter in the northern hemisphere where I live, but there are definitely places where it’s warm now. So there you have it! :)  I’m going to show you my final mani first:

See? Double stamping, Hawaiian flowers, leaves and hand signs!

The base colour, Rust No One, is an easy to work with polish. It’s almost a one coater. I applied two, and it makes a liiiiittle difference in depth, so I recommend two coats. Drying time is fast, no worries in that department. Here’s what two coats and no topcoat look like:

I must admit that I am really happy I bought this. It’s a lovely orange!

Here is what it looks like in my light box. It doesn’t look rusty at all, I’m very pleased!

I stamped with red first – a motif I found on the Q-girl010 stamping plate, and I stamped with Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri “Rapid Red”. Here is that step:

I like the way the red lines enhances the red in the KBShimmer polish!

Then I stamped the flowers, the leaf and the hand sign – I found those motifs on Moyou London’s stamping plate Tourist Collection-17.

This mani is not very typical for me, but I like it anyway. The colour isn’t my favourite colour, but then again, they can’t all be. I wore it for a day, and I wouldn’t have if I didn’t like it. 

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Linear holo

Overall impression: Great quality polish, nice rainbows!

Glittering Elements ~ Hidden Oasis

Glittering Elements ~ Hidden Oasis

Teal packed with golden shimmer and holo effect

When I can’t decide on what to wear on my nails, I often ask my boyfriend to pick a random colour. Today he picked green, and I was sure that Hidden Oasis was green until I actually got it onto my nails. Now I’m not so sure.

Let me show you what I’m talking about in a minute. The formula is good and easy to work with. It took two coats to make this opaque and the drying time between the coats is good.

The colour on my nails wasn’t really green though, more teal. It turns out that the golden shimmer mixed with the teal tricked me into believing that the polish was actually green. Funny that!

Here’s what it looks like; two coats and no topcoat:

Pretty shimmer, yes? I know I like it!

Here’s an intentionally blurred picture to show off the holo goodness:

Here’s a low light picture. All the shimmer almost look like microflecks!

I stamped swirls on it. I used a motif from the stamping plate Q-Girl010 and I stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri  “Whirlwind White”. I love that for stamping.

Here’s my final mani:

And a low light shot:

I really like Hidden Oasis, even though it tricked me into believing it was green! :D

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Pretty good

Durability: Good

Removal: No worries
Overall impression: Great colours and I love the mix of holo and shimmer!
