Beauty Big Bang ~ Holographic nail polish #02

Beauty Big Bang ~ Holographic nail polish #02

Magenta strong linear holo

Today’s polish is a strong linear holo, a nice shade of magenta.

The formula is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

The stamp is from Moyou London’s stamping plate “Holy Shapes Collection-01” and I stamped with a dark purple stamping polish from El Corazón called “Restless Night”.

Here’s my final manicure in the sun J

This is the same thing photographed in my lightbox.

And here’s #02 alone. Two coats and no topcoat. Photographed in the sun.

These are the things I used today.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Good little polish, great rainbows

Buy again: Yes

Dark purple packed with shimmer

Today’s polish was bought in a blog sale a million years ago. She came with two of her sisters – and none of them had a name stated on the bottle. This one is the last one I try on; the other two have been used a couple of times for nail art.

The formula is on the thin side and I needed three layers for full opacity. The drying time is pretty average.

I applied a bit of slow drying topcoat by the base of each nail and sprinkled glitter while it was still wet. I sealed the whole thing up with a layer of fast drying topcoat, and my manicure was done.

This picture is taken in the lightbox.

And here’s a picture taken in sunshine. The crazy shine makes the glitter almost invisible but I also wanted to show how blingy this polish is.

Here are the two things I used today.

I really like how the polish and the glitter look together. It’s a perfect match if you ask me.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Very shiny and blingy. Unique colour. I with it covered in two coats

Buy again: Not quite sure because of the three coats

Red toned purple shimmer

It’s definitely not a secret that I am a fan of El Corazón’s polishes and I’ve got a few of them by now. 418/287 is the latest one I bought and it’s gorgeous.

I used two easy coats for my manicure. The formula was really good and so was the drying time.

I applied some holo glitter from Revlon (“Holographic Pearls”) on my pinkie and my pointer (and my thumb), and then I made a variety of stripes on all the nails. I used a purple striper from “Professional Cosmetics”, “Holographic Pearls” from Revlon and 418/287 for the stripes.

I really like the end result, take a look:

This photo is intentionally blurry to show off the holo glitter goodness.

Here’s “418/287” alone; two coats and no topcoat. Isn’t it just pretty??
