Lilypad Lacquer ~ Wreckless Intentions

Lilypad Lacquer ~ Wreckless Intentions

Purple base with blue shimmer and multi coloured flakies

Wreckless Intentions is made exclusively for Color4Nails just like This Heart of Mine that I showed you yesterday.

The formula is not as sheer, but I still used three coats for desired opacity. I don’t think I could have gotten away with two. The drying time is pretty good. I applied a layer of topcoat before I took this picture:

I decided to do a bit of simple stamping on it. The motif is from Moyou London’s stamping plate Pro Collection-02 and I stamped with Manatee from El Corazón. I applied another layer of topcoat before I took my picture.

Wreckless Intentions was a limited edition and is no longer available.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Good

Finish: Shimmer with flakies

Overall impression: I like the colour and the flakies. The three coats not so much

Buy again: Yep

Blue base packed with purple shimmer, and purple and multi coloured flakies

This Heart of Mine is made exclusively for Color4Nails. I must admit that I took a while to actually buy it. Most of the polishes I buy are holos, because I love holos, but in the end I gave in and bought it along with its sister, Wreckless Intensions, that I will show you tomorrow.

The formula is a little bit on the sheer side. I used three coats for desired opacity and the third layer wasn’t just for the camera. The drying time is pretty good.

Here’s three coats and no topcoat:

I really like the colour, so I’m glad it ended up in my stash after all. I had to holofy it a little bit though. I added a layer of Northern Lights holo topcoat, and this is my final mani:

Uh yes, I like it! I can’t wait to actually wear the other one in the set.

Colour Alike ~ Red Moon and CrowsToes ~ Morticia

Colour Alike ~ Red Moon and CrowsToes ~ Morticia

Deep red packed with shimmer and Red, black and silver multishaped glitter

The other morning I asked my boyfriend what colour polish I should wear. It’s as if the more polish I get, the harder it is to decide! His reply was: “What is wrong with a nice red?” And the fact is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a nice red. I dug out “Red Moon” from Colour Alike. I have used it before for nail art, but I really like it, so it definitely deserves more time on the nails.

It’s a one coater and if I wasn’t a blogger I would have used only one coat. I applied a second coat for the camera though. The drying time was okay.

Here’s how pretty it is in the sun:

I paired it with another oldie, namely Morticia from CrowsToes. It’s three years ago I used that beautiful mix of glitter! Damn, time flies!!

Anyway, I applied a single layer of glitter over Red Moon. I deliberately didn’t load the brush with glitter because there’s seriously sooo much of it.

Here’s what one coat of Morticia looks like over red, including a layer of topcoat:

Here’s the same thing photographed without influence of the sun to show the glitter mix better.

I ended up applying two layers of topcoat to get a completely smooth surface.

Number of coats: 2 – but one would have been enough
Drying time: Okay

Finish: Metallic
Overall impression: Great colour and polish

Buy again: Yes to both’
