silver - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies!

Today I'll show you two polishes I've totally forgot about! They are Mattese Elite from ME AMOUR collection introduced for Valentine's Day 2012. The whole collection contains six shades and I will show you two. Mattese Elite polishes can be purchased at Ricky's NYC website and they retail for $5.99

Embarasse Moi - bright magenta glitter. The glitter is lots of really small glitter with bigger glitters in it, all magenta colour in a clear base. I've applied one coat of glitter over Mattese Elite Nail Polish - Embrasse Moi which has very similar colour. The glitter looks like it might need two or three coats for full coverage but I haven't tried it. I quite like it layered. It applied nicely and didn't dry very gritty which is very nice to see with glitter. I've still used one layer of topcoat.

Amour De Ma Vie - turquoise, red and silver glitter in a black jelly base. The formula is quite good with decent pigmentation. This is only two coats and it is enough for the full opacity. It dried gritty and a bit longer but after I applied coat of Seche Vite it was dry very fast and no gritty finish.

Hi everybody!

This is the last glitter from China Glaze Prismatic collection I have yet to publish. It is called Polarized and it's beautiful silver based glitter.

Polarized - silver glitter mixed with different coloured glitter. This is my least favourite colour from the collection but that's just because I prefer colours rather than silver shade :) As it's silver colour, it isn't duochrome. The formula with all these Prismatic glitters is the same - It applied easily despite it being a glitter but it dried quite slow and a bit gritty. I would expect it to be clumpy with so much glitter in it but it is not at all. Two coats were enough for the coverage, there's plenty of glitter in the polish. I had to use a topcoat (Seche Vite) to make it smooth and shiny and it was worth it!
