Gabriela Salvete: Natale Flower

Gabriela Salvete: Natale Flower
Red with pink and golden shimmer, textured

I bought this beautiful polish on a short trip to Slovakia years ago. I honestly forgot that I had it and was really surprised when it turned up from the bottom of a long lost bag.

The formula is really good and covers really well. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time was really good.

The stamp is from the stamping plate "Born Pretty-Decoration-L003". I stamped with "Yellow" from El Corazón's series of stamping polishes.

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

Here's "Natale Flower" alone; two coats and no topcoat. The textured effect is nice.

H & M: Regalia

H & M: Regalia
Red toned purple shimmer

This might be my favourite shade of purple. It's super shiny and beautiful. The formula of "Regalia" is amazing and it covers in one single coat. I used two coats out of habit and because that's the way I roll, but the second coat didn't make any visible difference. The drying time is good.

I made holographic glitter stripes by the base of each nail with another polish from H&M: "Big Night Out".

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