Revisiting: Different Dimension ~ Naughty

Red linear holo

It's been over two years since I wore this polish last, and it definitely deserves a revisit. It's a gorgeous red linear holo - a polish right up my alley.

The formula is perfect and super easy to work with. I used two easy and fast drying layers for my manicure.

The stamp is from the stamping plate "Born Pretty-Spring Garden-L011". I stamped with Color Club's silver linear holographic polish "Harp on It".

Here's the end result including a layer of topcoat. This photo is taken in the sun.

These are the two polishes and the stamping plate I used today.

"Naughty" is such a pretty polish, and "Harp On It" is just the perfect silver holo for stamping. I love them both

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Amazingly beautiful polish

Color Club ~ Try Something New

Purple textured polish with microglitter

"Try Something New" is from the recent part of Color Club's "Star Studded" collection. It's a really pretty purple with lots of microglitter in it. The polish dries up matte and textured.

The formula is on the sheer side. I used three coats for my manicure. I probably would have been able to get away with two if I wasn't a blogger. Most people don't see their nails as close up in everyday life as bloggers do, haha!

Anyway, three coats and the drying time was average.

I added a layer of Darling Diva's topper "Hellea (H)", which is a flakie topper with added holographic pigment. It's a gorgeous topper!

The stamp is from the stamping plate "Nicole Diary-L04". I stamped with El Corazón's stamping polish "Sweet Symphony".

Here's the whole thing including a layer of topcoat. This is photographed in the sun.

This is the same thing under a lamp so you can see the flakies.

Here's three coats of Color Club's "Try Something New", topped with a layer of Darling Diva's "Hellea (H)". Isn't that a great combination?

Blueness ~ #111

Blueness ~ #111

Purple linear holo

Today I'm wearing a really pretty purple polish with holographic goodness - at least to begin with.

The formula is really tricky because the polish dries wickedly fast. The first coat came on patchy and streaky no matter how hard I worked, and the second coat didn't make up for all the irregularities. I ended up using 3 coats and there were still places where it could have used a fourth coat.

The stripes are from the stamping plate "Nicole Diary-L04". I stamped with El Corazón's stamping polish "Blue Neon".

I topcoated it all and that made the polish change colour completely. The polish went from blue toned purple with lots of rainbows to a red toned purple with almost no rainbows. How odd!

Here's the end result, including a layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in the sun.

I took this photo with flash to make sure that I got just a few rainbows on the photo.

Here's Blueness' #111 alone; three coats and no topcoat. Look at how the colour is completely different.

These are the things I used today.

I really like the colour and the finish of #111 from Blueness; both before and after topcoat. I didn't like the weird formula of the polish though.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Really fast

Finish: Linear holo, polish dries up semi matte
Overall impression: Very tricky formula

Color Club ~ Slay the Day

Berry coloured textured polish with microglitter

"Slay The Day" is from the recent part of Color Club's "Star Studded" collection. It's a berry coloured textured polish with lots of microglitter in it. The polish dries up matte and glittery at the same time.

The formula is on the sheer side. I used three coats for my manicure to make it look the best. The drying time was average.

I added a layer of W7's topper "Atlantis", which is a blue-ish shimmer topper! It's not super prominent, but it's gorgeous nonetheless.

I made two blue lines on each nail with El Corazón's stamping polish "Nephritis". I made dots with Color by Llarowe's stamping polish "Lilac Petals" and El Corazón's stamping polish "st-matte-106".

Here's the whole thing including a layer of topcoat. This is photographed in the sun.

I quite like the result of this.

This is "Slay The Day" alone; three coats and no topcoat.

Here is the stuff I used today.

I'll be honest with you: "Slay The Day" doesn't wow me; it's pretty with the shimmer topper though.

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average

Finish: Textured matte microglitter
Overall impression: Pretty but it doesn't really wow me
