Showing posts with label glass flecks

Hello lovelies,

I've decided to join the Pink Fridays for October and show my support to Breast Cancer Awareness month. Today I'll be sporting Illamasqua Raindrops which I wanted from the first day I've seen the swatches and I finally bought this little beauty. Unfortunately for me it doesn't really go with my skin tone.

Pink Raindrops - pale pink base filled with glass flecks and subtle fuchsia shimmer. By itself the Pink Raindrops is a very pretty pale pink polish but it's the chunky glass flecks that make it unique. It has a bit funky formula - quite thick but still manageable. When I was applying the polish it was quite gritty because of the fleck but after a whie they levelled. I still had to apply a thick topcoat. I've applied two coats and the drying time was average.

Hello lovelies,

 

It's Monday again and you know what that means - it's piCture pOlish Monday! Today I will make happy all the lovers of green polish because I have swatched Kryptonite. Kryptonite is a 'Collaboration Collection Shade' by More Nail Polish.

 

piCture pOlish Monday: Review & swatches of piCture pOlish Kryptonite

Kryptonite - dark emerald green jelly-ish base filled with scattered holographic particles. The holo particles are relatively large in comparison with other scattered holographic polishes and they are very nicely visible in the direct sunlight. The polish has a jelly base yet it is well pigmented. I've applied two thicker coats for the coverage you see in the pictures. The polish dried rather average and very glossy. I would have expected the holo particles to cause gritty finish but it didn't happen.

Wow, what a beauty, right? Normally I wouldn't pick a green polish in store but this one is quite unique thanks to the chunky holo particles. I've purchased the set of rings at Asos.

piCture pOlish is available at their website or at many international e-shops.
