Hello lovelies,

Let's take a break from nail art, I still have some reviewing commitments ;) This time I want to show you 4 out of 6 shades from the Dance Legend Hammering collection.

Hammering is a special effect collection and each polish has a strange pattern described as the look of hammered metal. The effect shows shortly after applying the polish and shows best in just one coat. Each polish applied easily and was well pigmented so most were looking good in one coat.

Let's have a look at my four picks...

Creep - pale blue metallic shade with special finish. One coat, no top coat. The effect seems to be the strongest in one coat and it shows nicely in Creep.

Constant Reminder - minty green metallic shade. I've applied two coats and no top coat. The effect was still quite strong with this one.

All Or Nothing - gold metallic shade with green undertones. I'm wearing two coats and no top coat. The usual pattern I expected didn't appear in the first coat so I've applied second just in case I did it wrong. It didn't work with this colour at all, there are larger specks that create slightly textured finish but that's about it.

As You Wish - berry pink metallic shade. Some swatches from other bloggers show it lighter and more pink but mine was quite dark colour. I'm wearing two coats and no top coat again. The polish was almost opaque in the first coat but I applied two in the end. This one dried very fast so I had to work fast to avoid patching. The pattern with this one wasn't very strong either but I could see the effect a bit.

So there you go, another unique collection from Dance Legend! I'm still a little bit torn between loving and hating the effect, I guess it's just something very unusual to have on my nails. I used to have a kid bicycle that had the same finish and colour as Constant Reminder and I remembered it straight away. Interesting...

All the polishes in the collection are very well pigmented and will mostly be fully opaque in the first coat. They are also sold in the 'mini' bottles and each holds 6,5ml of polish. Hammering collection is available at Dance Legend website and other international retailers.

What do you think of this effect? Let me know in the comments. Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you another set of polishes from All That Jazz brand. Indulge Me collection has been released towards the end of last year right in time for the holiday and NYE parties.

About: "Relish in riches with this latest treasure-trove-inspired collection from All That Jazz. From the jewel inspired emerald and ruby, to the glittering metallics of gold and bronze, feel luxuriously spoiled by these 4 new tempting shades and adorn your talons with the opulence they deserve!"

Let's have a look at the four beauties:

Living In Luxury - Cool-toned bronze shade with foil finish. Living In Luxury is elegant pale bronze that I found really flattering. It looks quite understated and will be office friendly yet interesting. I've applied two coats for perfect coverage. The polish is we'll pigmented and it applied easily leaving no brush strokes.

Fit For Royals - pale gold with light coppery flakes and foil finish. This is undisputedly the most festive shade of all four for me and it fits perfectly with any Christmas or New Year's manicure. I'm wearing two coats which were fully opaque. The polish dried fast and with no brush strokes.

Adorned In Rubies - raspberry red foil with burnt orange flakes. This is a beautiful and rich colour which I can closest describe as raspberry shade. The fact that is has burnt orange flakes in it makes it a bit more interesting and it adds more depth. The formula was just perfect. Opaque in two coats, flawless application and no brush strokes. Adorned In Rubies is identical match to Gelish A Sunrise In The City.

Opportunity Knocks - mermaid blue foil with green flakes. This will be a perfect colour for summer and it reminds me of mermaids of course and of tropical seas. The colour is very vivid and sparkly and looks gorgeous. Two coats were fully opaque and again I had no problem with brush strokes. It applied well and dried fast but it can stain nails a bit so double up on base coat. Opportunity Knocks is identical match to Gelish Oocha Coocha.

All four shades had the same formula which was opaque in two coats and applied easily. They also dried fast without leaving visible brush strokes. I love each and every shade for different reasons so I really have no favourite in this case. I think this collection came out beautifully and if you love shiny foil finish polishes then you shouldn't skip on these.

All That Jazz Indulge Me Collection is available at All That Jazz UK website and at Nail Harmony UK website. I have previously swatched Spotlight Affair collection full of sultry creme shades, you can see it HERE.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
