Barry M: Poppy - revisited
Raspberry red shimmer that dries up silky matte

I hasn’t even been a year since I wore “Poppy” last. But I was going to a party and wanted to wear something pretty and glittery.

The formula is still good and the coverage is still amazing. It’s a one coater but I used two coats to make sure I gave the polish the best conditions to shine. The drying time is good and the polish dries up silky matte.

I dabbed some glitter by the base of each nail. The glitter is Sation’s “Prettiest Player”.

This is the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

China Glaze: None Of Your Risky Business
Bright orange crème

“None Of Your Risky Business” is
from the Lite Brites Summer collection of 2016. I used it for a water marble manicure in 2016 but haven’t actually used it as a “real polish” – so to speak. Today I’m going to change that.

The formula is on the sheer side and I used two coats for my manicure today. I can see on the photos that I should have worn a third coat for the photo – but two coats was enough for the naked eye. The drying time was good.

I made a brush stroke with white and made three blue dots on top of the white. I topped it all with El Corazón’s holo topper 421h/25.

This is the final result under a lamp:

I kind of regretted the blue and wished that I had used red instead.

I didn’t photograph “None Of Your Risky Business” on its own because I thought it was already on the blog. Maybe next time.

Here's a link to my post where I use it for water marbling: Click here
