Hello lovelies,

 

Dance Legend keeps releasing beautiful new collections and I have two polishes from the Round Space collection to show you. This collection features six different shades with jelly formula and silver holographic glitter. You can find swatches of all shades here.

 

Inception - strawberry red jelly base full of silver holographic glitter in different shapes and sizes. The polish looks very beautiful but it was a bit of a paint to get the nice result. The formula was thick so I had to apply thicker coats to avoid patches. I ended up applying 2 thicker coats and topcoat for the result you can see in the pictures. The polish dried in average time.

Supergalaxy - dark blue jelly base full of silver holographic glitter in different shapes and sizes. Supergalaxy looks even better than Inception in my opinion and it does remind me of a deep space/galaxy. Formula with this shade was better and easier to manage. It wasn't as thick but I still applied two thicker coats to get a decent coverage. It dried average and little bumpy due to glitter so I've applied topcoat.

A little perk that comes with this collection is a little LED light hidden in the lid. You can use it to get more light while painting your nails or you can just turn it on and feast your eyes on the beauty that you'll see.

The lit cap looks beautiful, doesn't it? I don't think I would ever need that function but it's a nice little addition.

 

These polishes are available at Dance Legend website. Dance Legend is a Russian company so if you can't or don't want to order directly from Russia, you can do so from one of the re-sellers listed on their home page.

 

Have a nice day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Today's glitter gradient is a bit different from the ones I've done previously because I've used loose glitter! Lovely Franziska from Fanzis has send me a set of 10 glitters to play with and this is the first manicure I've done with them.

 

Fanzis is a Danish brand by Franziska Christensen who is nail technician herself and uses these glitters for her work. She has 25 different glitters and Appeal4 nail polish line to offer. There is also a nail gallery and blog on her site so it's worth a visit.

 

Let's have a look at my manicure:

I have used Dance Legend Enamel Glass #1049 as a base and dark grey holographic Fanzis glitter. The glitters don't have names, only numbers on the website so I'm not so sure about the number for this one as it's not on the pot. As a last step I've sealed the glitter with a coat of Seche Vite. It didn't make the nails completely smooth but either two coats of topcoat or patting down and flattening the glitter more would help. Glitter can be difficult to work with but once I got hang of I it was much easier.

 

Fanzis glitter is regular size, it's not very fine nor chunky as you can see in the next picture.

Set of 10 glitters comes in this cute branded plastic box and you can choose any selection of colour you want just like I did. Many of them have holographic effect and all are beautifully sparkly and each pot holds 10 grams of glitter.

 

EDIT: I have done a 'Glitter Porn' video showing all 10 glitters up close!

 

 

Franziska has offered a 3-week temporary 15% discount on all glitters so you can just shop as usual, no need to use any code. The glitters & polishes are available in the Fanzis store.

 

I'm off tomorrow to The Body Shop HQ for some special project so there will be no post tomorrow. Don't forget to enter my current giveaway if you haven't already and have a lovely day! Lucie x
