Hello lovelies,

 

Jacava London has recently introduced a whole lot of new shades and today I will share with you one of them, Dance With Me. I love reviewing their polish because it always feels like a special luxurious treat.

 

Dance With Me is a beautiful shade of reddish purple that I find so hard to describe :) Rose purple or magenta red maybe? Anyways it's gorgeous and right up my street! It really flattered my long nails and I enjoyed wearing it.

 

The formula was easy to apply but I found the pigmentation to be slightly lower. I have applied two thicker coats but you might like to do three thin. It dried fast and I've applied Jacava Topcoat in the end. The polish has a fine shimmer to it which caused a very light streaking. But to be honest I could hardly noticed it - can you see it?

Why you ask? Because it took so incredibly long that I didn't even finish all nails!

It all started with me drawing this pattern on a piece of paper few months ago. I don't remember if I saw it somewhere but I'm sure it must have been done before. I finally decided to do this mani and this is the result:

I have started with a subtle gradient using OPI Toucan Do It If You Try and Red Hot Rio from the Brazil collection.Then I've painted white lines forming triangular patterns (tutorial here, stop at step 3) using OPI Alpine Snow. Then it was time to paint the inner black lines highlighting the triangles. I've used black acrylic paint but it took so long that I've decided to do only three nails.

 

I must say I actually really liked the result and the combination of two types on design. I wore the nails for three days and it pained me so much to take them off :(
