blue - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies!

I've got here three polishes from new Devilish Polish brand. It's a new indie brand that comes up with three shimmer shades. Kelly says about her polishes: "These 3 colors are based on three of my family members. My aunt, my mother in law and grand mother in law. My next line will probably be dedicated to my mom".

Devilish Polish Ann - lovely rose pink. The finish is shimmery but also shiny, foil-like. I've experience little streaks but nothing bad as you can see. I needed two thicker coats for full coverage. It also dried very fast.

Devilish Polish Denise - vibrant grape purple shimmer. This is my favourite colour from the three, it's really pretty purple with tiny blue and magenta specks. Almost no streaks and it dried quite fast; I'm wearing two coats. This is the only swatch I've applied topcoat to. Check this polish in a nail art manicure here.

Devilish Polish Erin - sky blue foil shimmer. A lovely, lovely shade of blue, quite bright and shiny. It's little bit streaky and dries fast. It applied slightly better than the previous two shades. I've wearing two coats and no topcoat. I've done a nail art dotticure with this shade, check it out here.

All three polishes had thicker formula but the application was easy. Erin has slightly better formula. They all dry fast and have shimmer in them. I know that shimmer polishes are not exactly unique but especially the purple one looks gorgeous.

Kelly now offers just these three shades but she plans to do glitter polishes in the future too. Can't wait! If you'll like them, you can purchase them at devilishpolishstore.blogspot.com and you can follow that blog for updates on new polishes coming out. Kelly also has a personal blog devilish-polish.com

So what do you think?

Hello lovelies!

Thanks to the Summer Challenge I participate in (Thank you for putting it together Debbie!) I take on 'projects' I wouldn't normally do and it pushes me to do very elaborate and creative manicures. Like today's one!

The topic for today's Summer Challenge is Jungle mani or Parrots and I chose to paint my favourite parrot - Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao). Macaws are magnificent birds and I love them! My first ever boyfriend had 24(!) of them so I've spend years in their company, could admire them and sometimes even touch them. Don't get me wrong, they can be very angry, aggressive and dangerous birds but they are beautiful. They could snap your finger in half if you'd just give them a chance :D

I used to paint and draw macaws so this mani wasn't as hard for me. Firstly I've used KIKO 343 and CND Urban Oasis to create the jungle background. I dipped dots of CND into the wet KIKO polish and dragged the needle through it to create two-colour background. Then I started to paint the macaw with acrylic colours.

Hope you like it and hope you'll share it to spread the love :)
