Darling Diva ~ Our Bad!

Sky blue linear holo with pink shimmer

I really like Darling Diva as a brand. I think Carrie makes great polishes; I love the quality and the variety of colours and finishes.

Our Bad is no exception. The formula is great and easy to work with. I used two easy coats for my mani and the drying time was good.

Here it is! Two coats and no topcoat yet; the picture is taken with flash:

This is a low light picture. The pink shimmer isn’t shy and it’s soooo pretty.

I stamped on it. I found my motif on BP-L 003 and I stamped with my faithful Black from NailNation 3000. I completed the mani with a layer of topcoat, and here’s the final result taken with flash:

I also really like it in low lights!

I love Our Bad. It’s gorgeous!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo with shimmer

Overall impression: I love everything about this polish

Teal leaning blue linear holo

Do you want to see a beautiful blue holo? Then you’ve come to the right place! Dramatic Entrance is a beautiful blue linear holo, it’s got an amazing formula and covers in two easy coats. The drying time between the layers is good.

Here’s two coats taken with flash. There’s no topcoat involved just yet.

I won’t lie: I love the amazing rainbows in Dramatic Entrance!

This picture is taken in ordinary daylight in the shade.

I gazed at this for a while, trying to decide what to do with it. I ended up just wearing it like this, mainly because I don’t want to waste precious time on making it look even sweeter – only to ruin it all later when I help my boyfriend remove the remains of the floor tiles in the kitchen.

I think it’s a super pretty blue!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo

Overall impression: Great blue, amazing rainbow. This is a good quality polish!

Colors by Llarowe ~ Pirates of Penzance

Classic red with holographic shimmer

Pirates of Penzance is from the Pretty Woman 25th Anniversary Collection that was released in spring 2015.

The formula is really good and was almost opaque after the first coat. The second coat enhanced the colour and made it even more beautiful. The drying time between the coats is good, no issues whatsoever.

Here’s two coats and a layer of topcoat taken with flash:

It’s a truly amazing polish. The shimmer that just makes the polish glow from within is mesmerizing!

This picture is taken in ordinary daylight in the shade. Amazing, right?

The little rhinestones are bought from evilBay, stuff like that is so cheap there. I love the effect and will definitely wear stuff like this again!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Holo shimmer

Overall impression: Wow, it’s an amazing polish. It could easily move into my pile of favourite reds!

Fresh Paint ~ Dragon Lady

Fresh Paint ~ Dragon Lady

Green packed with turquoise shimmer

Dragon Lady! Isn’t that just an intriguing name for a nail polish!? I think it is, and I also think it actually fits the polish.

The formula is on the sheer side but it builds up. I think I could have been able to get away with two coats, but I wanted to make sure that I had everything covered for the camera so to speak.l

The drying time is pretty good.

Take a look at three coats in the sun:

The shimmer is really something in this polish. This picture is taken in the lightbox:

I added holo! One layer of Dance Legend’s Top Prismatic, which is a holo topper. It usually greys the colour underneath quite a bit but it went just perfectly with this shimmery green. It actually almost made it look metallic, which is a finish that I like. Score! Here’s a sunshine picture of the two polishes together:

I love it!

I haven’t used Dance Legend’s holo topcoat for a long time, but I’m really pleased with today’s result.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Pretty good

Finish: Shimmer

Overall impression: I love the shimmerness of this and it’s a really nice green too
