F.U.N Lacquer Incredible

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of F.U.N Lacquer Incredible from the new F.U.N Lacquer 4th Anniversary Collection.
Incredible is a magnetic multi-chrome that ranges from magenta to gold to green.

The formula is great. Like with F.U.N Lacquer Believe I applied two coats over a black base and used a magnet to get the magnetic effect. The shift in this polish is not as intense as in F.U.N Lacquer Believe though.

I had to make this awkward hand pose to capture some of the magnetic multi-chrome effect.
And here's a closer look!

I have to say that I am a little disappointed with this polish after having tried Believe to compare this to.

F.U.N Lacquer Believe

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of F.U.N Lacquer Believe from the new F.U.N Lacquer 4th Anniversary Collection.
Believe is a magnetic multi-chrome that ranges from aqua blue to emerald green to purple to magenta to copper red. The shift in this polish is insane!

The formula on this polish is great. I applied two coats over a black base and used a magnet to get the magnetic effect. The opacity is great as well and you can apply one or two coats over black depending on how strong of a multi-chrome magnetic effect you want.

The multi-chrome magnetic effect was so hard to capture on camera, but you can see the shift from aqua blue to emerald green to purple on the picture above.

I am in love with the crazy effects in this polish!

CND Nightspell Collection

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the new CND Vinylux Nightspell collection to share with you!
This collection is SPONSORED by Insight Cosmetics Group, but everything I write about it is my own and honest opinion.

These polishes are all swatched on my bare nails and topped with a coat of CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat.

First up I have Eternal Midnight, which is a deep purple with an aqua blue shimmer.
The formula on this one is okay - it is a little on the thin side and it does need three coats to be completely opaque.

Close up!

Next is Berry Boudoir - a deep berry crelly polish.
This formula is on the thin and runny side, which means it also needs three layers to achieve full opacity.

Next up I have Mercurial, which is an awesome gunmetal shimmer.
The formula was great - not too thin and not too thick. And best of all; it only needs two thin coats or one thicker coat to be opaque.

Close up!

Time for this stunning dusty purple shade: Lilac Eclipse.
The formula on this one is perfect - just a little on the thicker side, which makes it easier to apply and control. It does need two coats to be completely opaque though, but the dry-time is great as well.

Next up is Viridian Veil, which is a frosty, metallic teal.
The formula is great and it is opaque in two easy coats.

Close up!

Lastly I have Hypnotic Dreams - a really unique metallic multichrome shimmer that goes from green to gold to pink.
The formula is on the thinner side, and it needs three layers to reach full opacity.

Close up!

Concluding remarks:
The shades in this collection are really unique and perfect for fall. Most of the formulas are on the thinner side, but all manageable with a little patience.

Ps. I might have a give-away of a set of this entire collection planned for you guys - so stay tuned!

Multichrome Glitter

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of this multichrome glitter that I got from Born Pretty Store (#39391).

The multichrome glitter goes from yellow to pink to purple to aqua blue - so beautiful.
I applied it by using the make-up sponge that comes with it by dabbing it onto semi-wet nail polish (here the base is the black Essie Licorice). Then I just removed the excess glitter with a fan brush.
This glitter goes on really easily (it is almost hard to control the amount of glitter that goes on the nails).

The only downsides to this multichrome glitter are that it reacts really weirdly to top coat (it turns all dull) and the mess it makes around the nails.
Except for that, I think it is a great product.

Water Droplets

Hey guys!

Today I tried a new technique inspired by @simplynailogical - water droplets!
See it in action here!

For the manicure I started off with a duochrome base of Dance Legend Boggs on all my nails. Afterwards I mattified it with Essie Matte About You. Lastly I added the droplets using a dotting tool and a clear polish.

Close up!

I don't think it works as well with regular nail polish as with gel polish, but I think it turned out okay.

piCture pOlish Desire

Hey guys!

I finally got piCture pOlish Desire (after being in love with this stunning shade for almost a year) and today I would like to share a swatch and review with you guys!
Desire is a polish with a deep raspberry red base with a purple to burnt orange multichrome shimmer and scattered holo.

The formula is amazing - it is butter-y smooth and easy to apply. The opacity is good and it is opaque in two coats.

Close up!

I am so happy I finally got this polish!

12 Days of Christmas: Christmas Tree

Hey guys!

Today I have another christmas manicure to share with you - shattered glass christmas trees!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I used some duochrome foil cut into different sized triangles to make the shattered glass christmas tree on my middle and ring finger. To finish everything off I applied gold star studs to my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky.

I am definitely on board on this shattered glass trend!

Dance Legend Boggs

Hi guys!

I just couldn't get enough of the duochrome-effect, so today I decided to try on, swatch and review another polish from Dance Legend's Chameleon Collection - Dance Legend Boggs.
Boggs is an intense duochrome nail polish with a blue base and purple/pink color shifts - in extreme angles also orange/yellow colour shifts, but unfortunately I could not catch that on camera.

The formula was good - a little sheer and streaky on the first coat, but very easily buildable and opaque with two to three coats, depending on how you polish.
The duochrome-effect was really good - and I mean REALLY good! In extreme angles the purple colour shift make the polish appear a completely different colour than the blue base.
For the picture below I used two coats and top coat.

I have to repeat myself and say: I am in love with the duochrome effect in this polish! I cannot stop staring at it!

Dance Legend Roz

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of one of the polishes from Dance Legend's Chameleon Collection - Dance Legend Roz.
Roz is an extreme duochrome nail polish with a magenta base and green/gold/bronze colour shifts.

The formula of the polish was okay - it was a little patchy on the first coat, but everything will even out on the second or third, given you wait a minute or two between each layer.
The duochrome effect in this polish is amazing - I mean wow! In extreme angles the polish is a completely different colour than the base! Just amazing.
For the picture below I used two to three coats plus top coat.

I am in love with the crazy intense duochrome effect! I cannot stop staring at my nails!
