Depend ~ #519

Green with shimmer

Yesterday I showed you another Depend polish that I bought on special. Today’s polish is from the same pile of discounted polishes, and this one is a beauty as well.

The formula is god and easy to work with. It took two easy coats to achieve full opacity and the drying time was good.

I applied some white stickers onto it and sealed it all up with topcoat.

Here’s the final result.

I really like this!

This is #519 alone; two coats and no topcoat. The shimmer is beautiful!

Magenta with blue and magenta shimmer

Depend is a Swedish brand and they have a wide range of colours. I like their polishes and I always check out the rack of Depend polishes in my local drugstore. I found this little gem in a big box of sale items last time I was there – I got 40 % off the price! I love discounts :D

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

The stamp is from the stamping plate “Goemetry BPX-L020” (Yes, they actually misspelled Geometry). I stamped with a blue stamping polish from El Corazón called “Nephritis”.

Here’s the final result including a layer of topcoat.

Isn’t that just pretty? I really like this!

Here’s #520 alone, no topcoat yet. This is right up my alley!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Great quality, colour and effect. I love it.  

Buy again: Yes, even at full price :D

Green to purple shimmery duochrome

I bought this pretty polish in a DM in Germany. It’s a really pretty duochrome. It shows up mostly dark green on the nails but it’s a really nice shade of green.

The formula is really good. I used two easy and fast drying coats for full opacity.

I decided to pair it with an old glitter topper from LynBDesigns: “Colorful Expletive”. It’s a mix of glitter, bar glitter and stars in a clear base. The glitter effect killed the colourshift quite a lot, but look at how pretty it still is:

Here’s number 292 on its own. This is two coats and no topcoat. You can see the purple mostly near my cuticles. Look at that green shimmer – isn’t it just lovely?

This picture is taken in the lightbox in an attempt of showing the shift more. I didn’t catch it quite as much as I had hoped to but I hope you get the idea anyway.

Here are the two polishes side by side.

Trend It Up is a brand worth checking out! They make quite a range of colours and effects, also in makeup.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Shimmer, duochrome
Overall impression: Great quality polish, nice colour, not the strongest shift, but still very pretty
