ILNP Mega (S)

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful ILNP Mega (S) to share with you!
Mega (S) is a silver holo (it is a perfect mix of linear and scattered holo).

The formula is perfect - it is not too thick and not too thin, and it glides onto the nail with ease. The opacity is good, but it needs three layers to be completely opaque.
The holographic effect on this one is crazy and I am so in love with the mix between linear and scattered holo.

This polish is stunning on the nails!

Gradient

Hey guys!

It has been a while since I last made a gradient, so today I made one using some of my absolute favorite piCture pOlish shades (who am I kidding - all my piCture pOlish shades are some of my favorite)!

Drip Marble

Hey guys!

Today I tried a new technique inspired by Simply Nailogical - the drip marble technique.

For the manicure I followed this tutorial by Simply Nailogical using piCture pOlish Escapades, piCture pOlish Glitch, and piCture pOlish Pharaoh.

Close up!

Even though I think these turned out pretty cool, I am not a big fan of this technique - I actually think water marble is easier and looks better (I know *gasp*, right?).

Cirque Colors Facets Collection | My Picks

Hey guys!

Happy New Year!
This year's first blog post is swatches and reviews of my picks from the new limited edition Cirque Colors Facets collection.
These polishes are sponsored by minta.dk but everything I write about them is my honest opinion.

First up is Smoky Quartz.
Smoky Quartz is a holographic polish with a black base that makes the holographic flakes look gold - it is seriously so beautiful. This polish needs two easy coats to be completely opaque. It applies like a dream and it has the perfect consistency - not too thick and not too thin.

Close up!

Next I have Carnet, which is a stunning bordeaux polish with silver holographic flakes.
This one has almost the same formula and opacity as Smoky Quartz, so it only needs two layers of polish to achieve full opacity.

Close up!

Lastly is Morganite.
Morganite is a gorgeous rose gold polish filled with holographic flakes.
It needs three coats to be completely opaque and the formula on this one is a little thinner compared to the other two, but the application and dry time is still amazing.

Close up!

And that's my picks from the Facets collection - they are all so beautiful!
